so-soJust so-so. Interesting premise, but the ending wasn‘t a surprise to me. Felt a little flat.
#TBRTuesday
Here‘s what I think will be up this week in reading for me. Only two of these are #MountTBR books, but the others are ARCs and a library book, which are all time sensitive.
As @Cinfhen mentioned yesterday, I wasn‘t always WanderingBookaneer. I think I was JaimitaPR before that. One day I was at the airport and saw tagged book. I loved the word Bookaneer and combined it with my love for exploring and thus my new handle was born. #LitsyHandle
In the last week I have purchased all of these books 😳
The bottom right were purchased at the thrift store all of those for $14. The rest were purchased at different times from different Dollar Trees.
I need to get back on my buying hiatus. And sorry to my swap person. I promise I‘ll stop.
I keep seeing customers purchase this book so I figured I would! I can‘t wait to read it!
Next up on my road to retirement commute. #audiobooks #wherehaveyoubeenallmylife #commutingintothesunset
Son‘s high school had a Book Night tonight at Barnes and Noble, where a small percentage of sales would go to his HS English department. So we went, with the understanding that we would not spend much (lots of summer expenses coming up). He saw his friends there, and hubby and I browsed. This is our haul— Book on the left is son‘s choice (his sort of thing!), and tagged book is for me. It looks intriguing!
#booksaboutbooks #readingresolutions @Jess7 I started this book but forgot about it.. 😬😬 it‘s still on my #tbr
#seatosea @FantasyChick @Andrea4 @Jaberwocky I've narrowed it down to four. Two are pictured (the Murakami is 600p) and two are at home and so merely tagged below. What do you think?
so miserably, i fell asleep 25 mins into the #24in48 😒 Not sure if it was the book or me or both! So im thinking im going to switch books!
Starting this one today.. bought it just bc it had the word bookaneer on the #cover and I laughed.. #breakfast #coffee #sherlock Wish I had an #oceanview for this once.. sadly I'm in the the armpit of #texas
Accidental library sale haul. Excluding the Noah foot that insisted on being in my photo. 😬 Top two I can #blameitonlitsy after seeing posts by @batsy and @saresmoore.
pickI really enjoyed this on audiobook except the ending was really not at all what I expected. I guess that's s good thing . I love books about books and authors!! The writing is really good, I enjoyed the character development and the narration was great.
pickI just started this on audio and I'm loving it so far 💥🎊😍I'm just bummed the categories for the #litsyAtoZ challenge are already filled in!
Last book haul of 2016. Can I just say how much I love early soft releases? Three of these are not meant to be available until next week/year. #NoShrinkageTBR
Quesadilla dinner with the wife ( @BookishMarginalia ) and the title that inspired the name change.
In honor of this newly acquired book, my wife has chosen the cool new Litsy tag @WanderingBookaneer (jaimitapr is now just her Goodreads). 💜💚💜
pickGood read. Interesting storyline and a wealth of information about Robert Louis Stevenson's last year's.
How odd it must be to go through life believing that a book is a book.
"For readers, books are a universal salve. When we are hot, we read to feel cooler; when we are cold, we read to warm up; tired, books wake us; anxious, they calm us."
10 pages in and I'm hooked! Great so far!
Nice selection of books at Depot Bookstore & Cafe in Mill Valley. I wish I could run a little bookshop like this. Very interested in buying The Last Bookaneer, wonderful premise about a literary pirate who steals manuscripts in 1890. The typesetting in the paperback edition is very stylish!
pickAnother incredible literary adventure in the gray areas of literary history. Matthew Pearl created a niché in historical fiction that few can compete. By revisiting a few minor characters from 'The Last Dickens' and creating an entire literary black market, 'The Last Bookaneer' captivates.
