The Returned
The Returned | Jason Mott

The Returned | Jason Mott

I am back! I took a longer than expected hiatus. My reading really dropped during the pandemic. But I'm making a comeback.

And in a silver lining, I have moved. My company is allowing fully remote work so I am now in North Carolina, where my husband has family (I have family here too, about 3 hours away). I have almost enough bookcases to shelve my library. Two or three more should do it

So hi all!

Hey friends!! Ended up being unexpectedly offline for several days, but I'm back!! Lots of notifications to catch up on, so sorry if anyone was feeling ignored!! I also have loads of book reviews to post, but we'll see when that happens. 😂 In the meantime, here's a picture of the side garden... it's actually gotten even crazier than this the last few days as it's been dumping rain for three days!

BarbaraTheBibliophage At my house we call rain “weed juice.” Have fun out there! 🌿🌿 2y

Ruthiella I love the lush green of it. Here in So Cal much goes brown and dormant in the summer. 2y
TheAromaofBooks @BarbaraTheBibliophage - “weed juice“ is right!! I was just down in the main veggy garden and it's turned into an absolute jungle! 😂 2y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @TheAromaofBooks Welcome to my garden situation! Since I was incapacitated for the spring, everything went wild. Now I‘m trying to get it in shape again … so much weed pulling! Still, it‘s fun to see the progress. 2y
ferskner That is PERFECTION. 2y
TheAromaofBooks @ferskner - Thank you!!! We've decided to lean into the “nature's garden“ style 😂 2y

So somehow I not only deleted this app, but I forgot I used FB to log in. But I am finally back. It doesn‘t seem like too much changed here.

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it. Some will be old, some will be new - don't judge me, I have a lot of books.

Day 110th

Join the fun if you want!

Mehso-so

This was my #doublespin for September @TheAromaofBooks
This was the Dutch translation of The returned. It even was made into a show for television, the basic story is the same, but major things were changed. It read a bit staccato, I don't know if that's because of the translation. It fell a bit flat, someone mentioned it should have been fleshed out more. I agree.
TBR since ?, 384 pages.

TheAromaofBooks At least it's off the list!! 3y

I have returned to Litsy after a long break. I was struggling with my mental and physical health and needed to cut down on where I was putting my energy.

I'm now feeling much more human again and decided it was time to throw myself back into the best online community I know.

I'm looking forward to catching up with what everyone is reading and adding eleventy hundred new books to my #tbr

It was a weird story that used the returned characters to reveal the true nature of the living.
