Grim Tuesday (Keys to the Kingdom #2)
Grim Tuesday (Keys to the Kingdom #2) | Garth Nix
20 posts | 28 read | 4 to read
Arthur doesn't think he will ever have to return to the strange house that nearly killed him on Monday -- the house that contains an entire world. But Tuesday brings new challenges -- in the form of an enemy named Grim Tuesday, who threatens the well-being of both Arthur's family and his world. Arthur must retrieve the Second Key from Grim Tuesday in order to save everything -- an adventure that will include stealing a Sunship, surviving a very weird work camp, befriending a bearlike spirit, fighting the voidlike Nithlings, and traveling to the scary Far Reaches for the ultimate showdown.

1. No, I've never done that.
2. I mostly listen to non-fiction. I find that I grasp ideas, especially technically complex ones, better when read to me instead of reading myself.

1. I'm currently half way through my #bookbuyingdiet so no purchases right now.
2. I don't own any outright romances, but I might end up reading something with some romance in it.

#two4tuesday on Wednesday 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1. Yes! My grandma was a voracious reader and gave me much treasured books- my brothers got me hooked on Star Wars 20+ years ago and in exchange read and loved Les Mis, my life long best friends (Aunties to my kids) are readers- My husband and I fell in love over To Kill A Mockingbird and named our son Owen Atticus, my dad had me read The Winds of War in 4th grade and my mom reads a book a day. 👇👇👇

Chrissyreadit My daughter loves Shakespeare and my son loves dark gritty and Epic fantasy and sci fi- sharing a deep love of The Belgariad with me. We do swap books. 4y
Chrissyreadit Thanks for the tag @LoydaElionora I wrote too much on this prompt! 4y
Ellies_Books06 @Chrissyreadit you're so lucky that everybody reads around you. 💙📖💙 4y

1. My plans for Thanksgiving definitely include reading. Found out last night that my sister has Covid, so far it‘s mild. I‘m worried about my parents though because she lives with them. Fortunately, I haven‘t spent time with any of them for about 2 weeks, but this means I will be doing Thanksgiving alone. Hoping my parents stay healthy.
2. I rarely decorate for Christmas.
@TheSpineView #two4tuesday

TheSpineView Hope your sister recovers soon. Thanks for playing! 4y
AmyG Hope your parents are ok and don‘t get it. 4y
FelinesAndFelonies I tested positive the 12th and my recovery has been slower than I would like. Sending healthy vibes to you and your family. 4y
Freespirit Hope you and your family are ok. Such a worrying time🤔 4y

Thanks for the #Two4Tuesday tag, @BookishGirl06 !

1. I‘m Canadian, so Thanksgiving has already passed for me. I did read a bunch then, though, and of course I‘ll read a bunch more this Thursday.

(Also, I totally thought US Thanksgiving was LAST Thursday. Oops.)

2. December 1st this year. I used to decorate right after my family left for their traditional late November/early December trip, but that ain‘t happening in these here quarantimes.

BookishGirl06 Sorry didn‘t realize it already happened for you (edited) 4y

1. Definitely kooky.
2. Witch 🧙‍♀️ I guess, since vampires 🧛‍♂️ and zombies🧟‍♂️ have been done to death, so to speak. I know there's plenty of witch books too, but I've read less of them than the other two.

Mahalo for the tag! @Eggs 🤗

An apt tagged title for today as the Governor issued Oahu a new stay-at-home order for 2 weeks starting 12AM Thurs due to the number of COVID-19 cases we have been having. Not to be a baby but I had a DESPERATELY NEEDED haircut/highlights appointment Thurs afternoon!😢
#two4Tuesday questions:

1️⃣ I usually manage 1-ish post weekdays (🎉 #pemberlittens !) & 3-ish per day on the weekends🤔

2️⃣ Too many to count!📚

Thanks for the tag @tonyahoswalt !
1. Probably Harry Potter but only certain movies: 1, 2, 7 And 8.
2. I don‘t really care.
3. Umm maybe Stalking Jack the Ripper.
4. Since it‘s so late and Wednesday, if you haven‘t done it yet, feel free.

#TuesdayTidbits

tonyahoswalt I would agree with those Harry Potter movie assessments 7y

2. Any as long as it's not present tense.
3. Wailing and gnashing of teeth. Worry that we will never see Litsy again. Or hopefully sleep.
4. Tagging all the Littens!

1- I‘m just looking into making this a bit easier in myself! I‘ve got a #Bujo #goodreads #bookcrawler and just this week I ventured into #LibraryThing!
2- Usually third - I like a little distance!
3- I‘m off work ! Yeah! Swimming lesson first thing, then a lazy brunch with my book, and then I‘m booked on a special Audio drama tour of Frankenstein hosted at the Science Museum.

1. Hmmm... i don‘t remember the title but a serial killer cut off nurses‘ arms and sewed it up so the arms were next to their bodies
2. The Believers scared me as a young adult. Otherwise Hobo with a Shotgun and Dark Knight were disturbing imo
3. Being a pedestrian and being hit by a car. Or the night in college where the doorknob kept turning and the door was shaking but no one was doing it

Bostonmomx2 I‘m skipping this one as I don‘t watch or read scary and no one really wants to hear my #3 😬 7y
DGRachel @Bostonmomx2 sounds like it would be hug worthy, so preemptive {{hugs}} to you! 7y

Bostonmomx2 @DGRachel well thanks! It is, so I appreciate that! 7y
Debiw781 @Bostonmomx2 I started not to tag you in this one. I think I know your number 3 so hugs my friend 7y
Debiw781 @DGRachel it made me really stop and think to fill it out. My scariest book wasn‘t even a horror novel, which is kind of odd 7y
Bostonmomx2 @Debiw781 of course you know what I am referring to and it‘s okay....no worries. Hugs back!! 7y
Debiw781 @Bostonmomx2 I purposely didn‘t use that one awful night for my answer. I decided the night with the scary ghost invader or whatever was preferable. 7y
Bostonmomx2 @Debiw781 I know what you‘re referring to 😥😥 7y
Debiw781 @Bostonmomx2 we‘ve both survived some awful crap together. The anniversary is next week so I‘m getting more emotional lately. Sigh. I keep hoping it gets easier 7y
JenlovesJT47 @DGRachel @Bostonmomx2 I'm sorry, it was not my intention to upset anyone! Love you guys ❤️❤️❤️🤗 7y
Bostonmomx2 @JenlovesJT47 aww girl no worries! ❤️ 7y
Bostonmomx2 @Debiw781 oh crap. I hate the days/weeks leading up. For me it‘s always worse than the day. I have her birthday in a few weeks and then the anniversary right after. Another bigger hug for you!! 7y
Debiw781 @Bostonmomx2 Right?? It‘s just knowing that it‘s coming up soon ☹️. Huge hugs to you as we get through this difficult season. 7y

Pickpick

1. The closest scariest book I ever read was Prodigal Son by Dean Koontz.
2. There are two movie that were very disturbing to me and there were Splice and Night Of Demons and I watch the Night Of Demons when I was like ten or eleven years old which was a very big mistake that movie scared the crap outta me.
3. When my mom got into a series car accident.
4. I tag any littens who didn‘t do this tag yet.

@BlackBibliophile tagged me! So here are my #Tuesdaytidbits

1. I would love to cook for Octavia Butler. She seems like she was a quite woman but food brings out all kinds of things in people.
2. I think I would hang out in the 80s as an adult. That was probably nothing but fun.
3. I‘m thinking Kerry Washington, but this is the hardest question!
4. Hey @Bookpearl come have some fun!

Thanks for the tag, @batsy
🍡Ms Marvel is my fave comic book superhero. So awesome.
🍪 Literary hero will be Nikolai Lantsov/ Sturmhond from Shadow and Bone trilogy or Lyra from His Dark Materials
🍫 Movie hero would be Okoye from Black Panther
🍿 Villain will be Jamie Lannister
🥟 Overrated hero is possibly any of John Green‘s nerdy boys out to save pretty but damaged, intellectual-sounding girls who are out of reach
Tagging @BookishMe

JenlovesJT47 Good choices!! Lol at number 5! 😅 7y
batsy Great answers. Okoye is the perfect choice! And 5 does please me greatly. 7y

Now I bet you're all dying to know what books I did buy at the charity shop! Unless you're scrolling backwards and this is the first post of mine you get to today. 🙄I should have done this in backwards order.

I was chuffed to find these two Nix books. Especially Tuesday, since I already have Monday.
Tolstoy I was surprised to find in a basin with Jackie Collins and Nicholas Sparks et al. But it's from the Penguin Great Loves series, so... 😂

quietlycuriouskate Well, well... I would never have guessed that Tolstoy had a thing going on with Jackie Collins! 🙊 7y
TrishB Great finds 👍 7y
