#3books with one word titles.

Each of these is the first book in a trilogy. All were picks. I've only finished the middle trilogy so far.

In this alternate Victorian world, there are clock mechanics responsible for keeping the #Clocks running so time doesn't stop. Unfortunately, there are also mysterious bombings of clock towers that are threatening life in England, and many people think it's one of the clock mechanics.

It‘s #Readathon time, y‘all! I‘m gonna turn on my audiobook and cook breakfast soon as I post this.

1. Middle of Canada.

2. I‘m excited to finish THE RED by Tiffany Reisz

3. Corn twists. I bought ‘em as a last hurrah before I go totes healthy.

4. I take loooooooooooong walks whenever the weather allows.

5. This is my 22nd consecutive Readathon, so I don‘t see myself shaking things up much. I might read a magazine again? I dunno.

Can anyone help @TheBookDream with Apps that record time reading that can be used in the #24B4Monday #Readathon. Like many of us TheBookDream has struggled with the iPhone / iPad timer resetting itself. I use Leio to record my reading time but this is tied with the books read. Does anyone know of a good app for recording time that doesn‘t reset itself?

Andrew65 http://leio.co Leio is free initially but there is a small cost to upgrade once so many books are stored on it. Or at least this was the situation when I started using it about a year ago. (edited) 5y
bookseller_cate One idea is to add a placeholder to Leio and use that “book” for the challenge. 5y
Crazeedi @Andrew65 I wished there was an app that was free, I would fill up one that only let's you record a few before they charge 🤨 . Isn't Bookly one? And it isn't free after a certain number either 5y

EadieB I use Stopwatch app and it only resets if you hit the reset button. @andrew65 5y
Andrew65 @bookseller_cate That‘s a good idea! 👍 5y
julesG I use a timer and the old-fashioned pen and paper. I time my reading session and write it down. I often accidentally closed the timer/clock app upon ending my reading sessions - you know, after hitting pause. Stupid move! Because then the timer is being reset upon reopening the app. Hence I write it down. 5y
Andrew65 @Crazeedi I used to use Bookly but after one upgrade it got very clunky and had delays in it. I paid the small amount of Leio and I have been happy with that. In two days I will have been using that for a year. This records Pages Read and books read over a day, week, month, year etc. 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB Not heard of that one. 5y
Andrew65 @julesG Can‘t beat pencil and paper! 🤣 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 it‘s not a reading app it‘s just a stopwatch. I don‘t reset it or keep separate daily times. I just use the stopwatch app. 5y
Crazeedi @Andrew65 I'll have to check it out, thanks!! 5y
Crazeedi @julesG I've used my timer on phone, but often forget to stop and start it🙄 5y
Andrew65 @Crazeedi That‘s my problem more than resetting it. 😳 5y
Bks4Wrms FWIW I have been using the Leio app for over a year now and love it. The customer service is also very good and the app developer is quick to respond to any questions. For the full version it‘s a one time fee of $4.99 for unlimited books and the backup/export feature. @andrew65 @Crazeedi 5y
ShananigansReads I use TimeCamp. It‘s free. I set up readathon as a project and the books I‘m reading as tasks in the project. I really like the graphs it give me. 5y
Andrew65 @Bookjunkie57 Don‘t know that one. I will have to check it out. Thanks 👍 (edited) 5y
Andrew65 @Bks4Wrms Great information, thanks 👍 5y
Crazeedi @Bks4Wrms oh wow that's not bad then! Thanks for info 5y
Crazeedi @Bookjunkie57 excellent! 5y
DieAReader @EadieB I do the same thing usually. 5y
TheBookDream I‘ll have to check these out. Thanks! @EadieB I was using the stopwatch app too, and it repeatedly reset the time without me (to my knowledge) hitting the reset button. Granted, it‘s a touchscreen so anything is possible, but it clearly doesn‘t work for me for whatever reason. 5y

I usually hate time travel books so I don‘t knowing buy them. So the best your going to get is Timekeeper.

The last good time travel book I Read was The Last Magician. It‘s out for a traveling book so no pictures currently.

I had suspected him for idk, revenge type feelings. For being forced to leave her, getting fired, and shunned but wow, did Not expect THAT 😮😮😮 I guess all that guilt is what had him helping Danny out?? Tho maybe he was also starting to feel threatened so that's why he butted in saying Danny wasn't well yet 🤔🤔 #amreading

Slow to start, this book really picked up steam halfway through.

I know, I know, I‘m hopeless. I couldn‘t resist the pun. 😂

I knew very little about the storyline, so was pleasantly surprised by my hands down favorite character, Colton. But I won‘t say any more about why he is so adorably awesome, to avoid spoilers.

This is the 2nd #steampunk book that I have ever read; definitely becoming a fan of the genre!

2. Today its green.
3. Timekeeper at 414 pages. (Tagged)
4. I'm assuming this is a fun mission bc I'd be useless for a serious mission so I'm going with Luna Lovegood, Khal Drogo, Thor (comic books count!) & Neville Hammersmith.

Oh my goodness I love this book. The world-building is amazing, the characters are great, and the story is so good. It kept me guessing until the end. There were a lot of really cool moments with the text too, the way it would sometimes fade or "wiggle" across the page.
Colton and Danny's relationship was so sweet. I love them both so much and I just want to see them happy. I can't wait to read the next one.

"Thete comes a moment when time seems to slip faster, running long then short, Shadow shining as the sun climbs. It's the moment, he decided, when you're no longer a child. When the concept of time and the need for more of it come together and make you Perks. Make you yearn for the longer days, the lazy days, before you knew what time passing actually meant." (239, PB, 1st)

quote

Timekeeper | Tara Sim

Colton's smile return slowly. Denny watched in subdued wonder as strands of golden time threaded across Colton's body, weaving under and around his arms, around his neck, hugging his torso, looping curlicues between his fingers. Danny had a sudden and irrational jealousy, then. He wanted to be that golden and that close. He wanted to wrap himself around Colton's body, to be everywhere, all at once, and feel the strength and power of him.

Really liked this genre-blending story: steampunk, fantasy, time bending, alternate history with LBGTQ+ themes. But also a story of first love, family, and friendship. Good characters & good world building—and something fresh. Looking forward to next book. 🎧 Audiobook was nicely performed by Gary Furlong. It took me a little bit to warm up to him, but then I was drawn in.

I really enjoyed this world! The concepts of the clock and actual time being so intertwined was so cool! Though this is insta-lovey, I actually really enjoyed it and kept rooting for Colton and Danny (who were adorable!)

I really felt for Danny...dude did not have a good few years and his mom was definitely not helping. The ending with her really did help me understand her and Danny's love for her though.

Aw, man, this was exactly what I wanted: magic clocks, dead/missing gods, time-centric shenanigans, families in flux, stories as unifying forces, good people who sometimes do bad things, the changing face of technology, and openly gay boys in love. I'll eagerly await the sequel.

The audio production's good too, even if the narrator does pronounce "shone" the American way (my audio pet peeve). #queerbooks

Blueberry I have to ask (being American) what other way is there to pronounce 'shone' than with a long o and quiet e? ☺ 7y
xicanti @Blueberry we say it so it sounds the same as "Shawn." For years and years, I thought Americans were using "shown" in really weird ways, when the whole time they were just saying "shone." The pronunciation still hits my ear like y'all are saying "shown," though, and I've gotta perform a mental adjustment. 7y
Blueberry Interesting. Where do you live. 7y
xicanti @Blueberry I should add that the Shawn homophone doesn't work with a British accent. A British friend once pointed out that they pronounce Shawn/Sean more like "shorn." They say "shone" same as Canadians do, though, so this narrator's choice especially threw me because he uses a British accent. 7y
