pickThis was a lengthy but super fascinating post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller. Highly recommend!

Wool | 
Oh night shift. While everyone sleeps, I get to stay up in a quiet house. I‘m finishing an online training about Supervision but once that‘s done, it‘s back to audio coloring!
pickAmazing world creation. This type of fiction is not normally my cup of tea - but I couldn't put it down. Picking up the other two in the trilogy as soon as I can. 5 out of 5 ⭐
pickWool by Hugh Howey
I absolutely loved this book. It's a sci-fi book, so it's not one I typically would have picked up, and it was a struggle for me at first, despite being absolutely beautifully written, but it pulls you in very quickly and then I just couldn't put it down.
Now I finished the #24B4Monday #readthon with 4 hours and 7 minutes and I'm happy that I also participated this month. It wasn't my worst resulat although I visited yesterday and today my friends and had less time to read but many time to eat wonderful cakes 😂😉. I begun a new #audiobook (tagged) and I'm loving it.
Thx to @TheReadingMermaid and @Andrew65
Good Morning! My #audiobook for the #24B4Monday #scifi #dystopie
Day 5 - ‘So Far Away‘
Physical distance is not always the only thing that can stand in the way of reaching an end goal 👩🏼🔧👊🏼
#AnglophileApril #SoFarAway
so-soThis book had me until the very end. I've said it before - I like resolution. This one left me with too many questions and some that were barely answered. 509 pages to wrap it all up and finish it and you putzed out in the last 20. 🌟🌟🌟.5
Well that took a turn. How am I supposed to stop reading and go to bed after that nice plot twist. Eh. It's going to be a short day tomorrow and birthday festivities for the soon to be big 4 year old any way.
"Mommy! Mommy! I made you this! It has your name on it!"
"In such pretty writing. Thanks buddy."
"Put it in your book. It'll hold your place."
He'll be 4 tomorrow. ???
I went over to my parents house this afternoon to make Christmas cookies and found myself in such a grumpy mood. I‘m going to blame it on the fact I wanted to be home reading this book, as I had just gotten to a really suspenseful part, but I may be ready for Christmas to be over already. Anyone else feeling grinchy this year?
Got new glasses today!
I‘m so behind on a couple of NetGalley ARCs and a giveaway book I received...so of course I‘m going to read a different book 🤷🏻♀️.

@Mommamanzi My books arrived last Friday! Sorry, I kept forgetting to post about them and then they were locked away in my construction zone in a box. I love that Wool is dedicated to an Amber. 😌 My husband has actually started reading it before me and he NEVER reads. He hasn't finished a book in the 18 years we've been together.
panWhile Squidapus can often find a lot to enjoy in even the most middling novels this book was just a rough read. He's a bit unsure why it received a decent amount of love because if the book was any drier it'd crumble to dust at a sneeze. It drags terribly and while the concept is decent the completely uninteresting main character and absolutely slllloooowwww pace kills almost any interest he had. While he did finish it, it never grabbed him ever

1: I had a dress fitting so here‘s a sneak peak at my book themed wedding dress - this is the sash and has the first pages from my favourite books ❤️
2:FooFighters in London
3: laziness?
4: QI and The Last Kingdom
5: Tagged - I‘ve heard really good things about it!
pickI enjoyed this one! An interesting dystopian novel about a group of people living underground in a silo. Will definitely read the rest of the series.
so-so
It was good. There was a lot of tech stuff (mostly mechanical) that I wasn‘t as interested in. But, it was definitely interesting and it picked up for me a little ways in, with the focus more on Juliette (except the mechanical stuff!). For some reason, I thought this was YA, but it‘s not. I think I will continue the series (I read the Omnibus, which collected the 5 short stories, but there are apparently two more books beyond this one).
#birthdaybookhaul
I got lots of book vouchers for my birthday and this is haul I bought yesterday. ❤️📚
Super excited about all of these!
so-soI'm really struggling with how to review this. I enjoyed reading it but it was not always enjoyable. I felt claustrophobic reading it a lot of the time and could not see a way through. And then the ending felt so miraculous and good that I was left with a great feeling about the book. But I didn't have that feeling while reading it. I am CONFUSED!
When the local Goodwill comes through for you on an impromptu lunch stop! I was JUST telling a co-worker they should read the series and how great they were. #thriftstorefinds
DO YOU TAKE YOUR READS WHEREVER YOU GO?

I do!
And I love finding book series that I just get sucked into. I read the Silo series a while back and loved it.

I read this really enjoyable book for two blissful uninterrupted hours while having my hair done. I've found the holy grail of a great hairdresser who says "no you just read, don't worry about talking to me" ♥️♥️♥️
I was supposed to read this one for book club last month but didn't get to it. Better late than never.
pickThis book was great. I read the whole thing in just a couple of days. For an unknown author this was a real gem. The story is a dark reflection on the behavior of a closed society. It takes the idea of nationalism and rule of law and concentrates it down to a few individuals living after the end of the world. The ideas and insights kept me glued to the pages. I highly recommend this book.
I don‘t gravitate to graphic novels very often, but I am excited about this one. I loved the Wool books, and now I get to go back there in a whole new way!

@aroc Thank you!! 💙 I‘ve heard of this series but never picked it up; however, in stalking you, I learned that you have great taste, so I trust you. The reading journal looks SO FUN! 😀 As you can see, the hot cocoa went straight into a gigantic mug because tonight is going to be spent curled up in bed, reading. Thank you so much for your sweet gifts! #dystopianblues
pickAmazing book! There was more going on than I imagined, it was personally recommended to me by a colleague and he was right! However: the Next hunger games? No way! That's a selling trick. Read this.
#dystopianblues Oh my gosh @Mommamanzi !!! Now I understand what you meant by the puzzle!! Lol! That is so awesome! I absolutely love everything and can't wait to dive in!! The candle smells amazing! Thank you so very very much for everything! 💗
It‘s only day 3 of 2018 and my resolve has already been tested. My New Years resolution is to not buy any new books, but a friend recommended this to me and I wavered. Can‘t resist a personal recommendation!
Thank you @squirrelbrain for these perfect gifts! You really spoiled me😊4 books!!! Every book sounds so different I want to read everything right now. These socks are the coziest, fluffiest socks I ever had. The candle smells nice, jasmine and whity lily, perfect😍
The duck pins are so cute, I immediately went and pinned one on my board. The bookmarks are fantastic, too, the big one feels really nice and the angry ducks on the other are so funny!
pickAfter nearly DNFing this, I'm glad I didn't. This was a good book, not necessarily a 5 star favorite but I liked it. I'll have to go out of my way to get my hands on the sequels as my library doesn't have them so I'm not sure when I'll get around to finishing out the series
I picked this up at the library a week or two ago so is best get to it! Only 500 pages, should be a breeze. I keep seeing it at half price books but didn't want to splurge on it until I'd read at least the first in the series. Look at that cover ❤️
I'm torn. I want to read the next adventure of Locke and Jean but I also picked up Wool at the library. I've debated buying it a few times and don't really have a clue what it's about but the cover is amazing. Decisions decisions.
Anyone else start a year end clean up of half-read books around October? I started Wool in January, made it through 4 of 5 parts. I loved it but something distracted me from it. I'm 20 pages from the end and am so glad I went back to finish it.

pickA very unique novel - a community existing within a silo. A toxic outside world, which the inhabitants of the silo know little to nothing about. A ritual of outside "cleaning," reserved for criminals and those who ask for it.
Of course, underneath every seemingly functioning community is an operating system of which the "little man" may suspect foul play and corruption, but truly knows nothing. That's where this book gets interesting. #dystopia
