Fringe - The Zodiac Paradox (Novel #1)

Fringe - The Zodiac Paradox (Novel #1) | Christa Faust

Have you ever tried a food you read in a book (cookbooks excluded, I hope you try that food! Lol)?

When I read this book Walter was ALWAYS eating Necco Waffers and I had no idea what they were. Randomly, I found some today & decided to try them. And they aren't half bad! Walter's favorite were the purple, which I discovered were black licorice flavored! Yum! My fave too!

So what book food have you tried?!?!?

#bookfood

ReadingEnvy Oh man I always look up recipes and make stuff sometimes. I just read a book from Poland and now hope to make.mushroom sandwiches, paprikash spread, kugel-mogel, and if I had a fryer these pastries translated as angel wings. 7y

QuoteQueen @ReadingEnvy sounds yummy! 7y

BookBoggart I've had pangalactic gargle blasters from hitchhikers guide before! 7y

QuoteQueen Ooo nice @BookBoggart 7y

Kenyazero It's delightful that you tried necco wafers after reading this book! My husband and I tried takis (if you're not familiar, they're a type of chip) after reading Cemetery Boys because one of the characters loves them and now so do we. I love finding food in books! 3y

I've been on a massive fringe binge. Gotta say I think Walter would definately be considered a #ravenclaw He is like no other and smarter than most even with his many obvious quirks. #muchlove #walteristhebest #food #cow #fringescience #characters2017

vivastory I love Fringe. One of the greatest sci-fi shows of all-time. Also, underrated for its innovation. 7y

Been slacking on my reading lately because my husband and I are doing a rewatch of our favorite series ever. Highly recommend if you're looking for a sci-fi that you can definitely binge watch!

so-so

Finished it! Yes!

Unfortunately it wasn't very gripping. It was more of a catch the killer deal than getting to know the characters or cortexiphan. But I liked the little details the best...the things that really tie it to the show such as the images Walter sees while tripping or unexpected characters. last 50 pages were best.

Nothing against the writing, but not my preferred genre. Also there were some minor mistakes editors should have fixed.

MrBook Nice review 😊👍🏻. 8y

QuoteQueen Thanks @MrBook reviewing is so new to me. I always wonder if I'm doing it right. 😜😂 8y

MrBook You're doing great! 😎👌🏻 8y

MrBook As long as you speak from the heart, you can't go wrong. 8y

QuoteQueen Awesome! 😊 8y

Found a chance to read! My hubs has an appointment at the VA today (shhh don't tell anyone I took a pic, it's not allowed! 😜). One hour of uninterrupted book time! Woot!

LauraBeth We all have those months - hope things settle down for you soon 😀 8y

Anescapewithinthepages I can honestly say that I can literally feel the stress leave when I open a book 8y

QuoteQueen @Anescapewithinthepages me too. Better than therapy! (I'd say cheaper too but not the way I buy books! 😁) 8y

moranadatter Here's hoping September is kind to you! 8y

QuoteQueen Thanks @kmdartist 8y

Ugh really need to find some time to read. I'm getting super stressed and grumpy lately.

I need to escape into some pages for a while! 😩

I just realized that even though I was in and out of a bookstore all day today I didn't buy any books! 😳

On the bright side, I was packing a book in my purse. 😜

Books_Wine_Repeat That's serious self control! 👍 8y

Bookzombie I did the same thing yesterday, but was packing a book in my purse. Then I hit a library branch on the way home. 🤓 8y

Twocougs Impressive, most impressive. I couldn't do that 😀 8y

QuoteQueen @Books_Wine_Repeat @Twocougs it was less self control and more the result of being distracted by my hubs (though I'm not sure if that was intentional or not. He just really wanted to get out of the heat and we cut through the store and he was in such a rush I didn't get to browse some more) 😜 8y

MrBook Incredible self-control! I'm proud of you. 😎👍🏻! 8y

Trav I am impressed! 8y

Mommy needs a time out!

One kid has been all over me, literally hanging off the boob almost all day (and last night). Other kid will not listen to a thing I say which had led to tears from both of us. I am so done I even kicked my cat out of the room. I cannot handle being touched or noise anymore.

Being an introvert and a parent is one of my biggest challenges. They don't work well together...

brendanmleonard What do you think of these Fringe books? I'm a fan of Christa Faust's books that aren't tie ins and have been curious about them! 8y

britt_brooke I feel you on the introvert-parenting thing. I was definitely not prepared for how much talking was required! 😳😁 Hope tomorrow is better! 8y

haileybean I'm with you in the introvert parenting. My son is very extroverted and talkative, and I'm not. I'm exhausted by the time his dad comes home. 8y

LiteraryinPA Oh, I feel you! Hope you can have a little quiet time with a book to recenter. 8y

QuoteQueen @brendanmleonard this is the first I've read of the Fringe novels and it has me feeling kinda "meh" to be honest. Not bad writing, it's just not my genre so far. More catch-the-killer & less scifi/fringe feel. (Not enough drug use for something with Walter in it...yet!). ? I'm only halfway through so it's picking up. There have been some typos that annoy me though that an editor should have caught. ? 8y

QuoteQueen @britt_brooke @haileyhugsbooks it's the talking, touching, in my face constantly on top of feeling like I'm talking to a wall and being the ONLY one they come to when they need something or being the only one that does 90% of the childcare (my hubs has a lot of health issues so he's not always able to do it) & it's just gotten too much. Thankfully school starts tomorrow so I can get the break I need, consistently too! 8y

QuoteQueen Thanks @LiteraryinLititz I got a few moments to recharge. Not enough, but good enough to make it to my kids' first day of school. One starts kindergarten & the other preschool(ish...he's 2...almost). So I'll be getting more consistent recharging time. 😊 8y

Gezemice Oh I hope you get. break soon! Been there... you need time for yourself! 8y

QuoteQueen @Gezemice I sure do! I spend so much time taking care of everyone else I've forgotten me! I have plans to take more me time. 8y

BookishMarginalia May the force be with you 8y

So far the book has me feeling kinda meh. I'm not a fan of crime-catch-the-killer novels, which is basically what it is so far. BUT Walter & Bell are about to bring out the universe ripping drugs, so I'm hoping it's about to get good! 😜
