50 Quilts from Quiltmaker | Quiltmaker Magazine, Quiltmaker Magazine Editors

#5JoysFriday

1) ⬆️ something that generated a bit of joy and hope this week.
2) Pippin passed his daycare intake! He did so well and it was such fun watching him interact with other dogs.
3) Worked a couple of half days this week and really enjoyed it. Thinking of not throwing in the tax towel after all.
4) Chapter a day buddy reads. It helps to have a plan.
5) Beautyland is a joy to listen to after the depressing #4 books

#1 and #5 for me. I love the look of case laminate hardcover and I like listening to audiobooks while I'm making a meal or cleaning.
I actually commented on one of the books I own because of its amazing cover! (Assassin of Fire and Sacrifice by Mary Mecham)
Do you have a favorite?

TiredLibrarian The print options are all good for me. I only read ebooks when I'm traveling or have ARCs, and I have trouble focusing on audiobooks. I'm old school with my books 📚 🙂 4d

monalyisha 1 & 5. I like to snuggle in, which is easier to do with a (trade) paperback. I‘m also no fan of deckled edges (looks cool but the pages are too hard to turn). And I don‘t know how I‘d ever survive my commute without audiobooks! 4d

bellabella @monalyisha I agree on the deckled edges! 4d

bellabella @TiredLibrarian That's a good thing to be! 😊 4d

rwmg #3 and #4 I have nothing against hardbacks except they're heavy and difficult to carry so paperbacks are the way to go.

I agree deckled edges are a tool of the Devil. The first time I saw them the book was in a sale and I thought it was being sold as a defective copy. 4d

Fridays | Andrew Johns

#5joysfriday #1. Happy Valentine‘s Day #2. Loving the ACOTAR Buddy read #3. Mona Lisa is coming along #4. I got ‘diet coke‘ nails - to quote myself - a French manicure with chrome base and red tips #5. Sometimes AI is god tier bonus #6. It‘s a long weekend with more snow forecasted and I just want to read and be a sloth

If I had to pick one, I would pick #5... all the above. Although that wouldn't work with #4. 😭
But I would really really love to have #4. What are libraries for but for being there when you go into debt for buying too many books? 😁 I'd walk to the library every day if I could, especially if it meant entering a book like a portal.

rwmg 28

I've included throughout this series books I know I've read but remember almost nothing of.

I've tried Tristram Shandy twice but didn't manage to finish it either time so despite being tempted I didn't count it. 2w

peaKnit 19 out 100 felt a little better :) the Story of Edgar Sawtelle is a favorite! I also enjoyed Tess of D‘urbervilles in high school. 2w

PurpleyPumpkin 24/110, not terrible. It never ceases to amaze me how many books there are that I still haven‘t read yet! And there are lots on this list that are on my tbr. 😅So many books, so little time!!!!!📚 2w

TheLudicReader 29/110. What an odd collection of books. I love these lists! 2w

dabbe @rwmg I would have counted it! You suffered through twice; you deserve to! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🤩🤗🤩 1w

dabbe @peaKnit EDGAR is now on my TBR! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🤩🤗🤩 1w

dabbe @PurpleyPumpkin Agree 💯! I wish we could inject ourselves with entire libraries like Neo in THE MATRIX! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🤩🤗🤩 1w

dabbe @TheLudicReader “Odd“ definitely describes these lists! 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🤩🤗🤩 1w

peaKnit And the sequel to Edgar is Familiaris- both tomes but so good. 1w

dabbe @peaKnit Good to know! Thanks, m'dear. 🩶🩷🩶 1w

Kitta Only 15! I‘m counting this one although I read it in French

The Stranger

dabbe @Kitta So did I! And was like this throughout the whole book: 😳🤷‍♀️😳! I think it should count double! 😂 1w

PurpleyPumpkin What an awesome idea! All that knowledge at our fingertips. 🤯 1w

staci.reads 28, but some of these I've never heard of 😳. It's hard to pick favorites, but Sing, Unburied, Sing and To Kill a Mockingbird for sure! Probably The Secret Garden next. 1w

dabbe @staci.reads Same here! So many I haven't heard of! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🤩🤗🤩 1w

dabbe @PurpleyPumpkin And we'd be able to gobble up that many more books! 😂 1w

melissajayne 19. Three favourites include: Snow Falling on Cedars, A Tale of Two Cities, Sense & Sensibility 1w

dabbe @melissajayne Thanks to you, SNOW is now on the TBR! Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩷🩶 1w

melissajayne @dabbe the movie adaptation is also really good as well. 1w

Kitta @dabbe haha yes agreed!! 1w

dabbe @melissajayne Good to know! Thanks. 🤗 1w

BooksandCoffee4Me 25 read — fun to be reminded of fun classroom memories. I won‘t give titles so as not to spoil endings but one day while reading an Am lit book with my 10th-graders, a kid entered the classroom yelling “Lenny dies!” Part of me was upset that he‘d read ahead and told the class what happens, but the other part of me was thrilled he‘d read ahead because we finally found a book he liked. We all laughed a month later when “Finny dies!” Am lit=death 🫤 1w

dabbe @BooksandCoffee4Me OMG; this story is priceless. 🤩 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚🩶💚 1w

Catsandbooks Only got 9. But one of my favorites is To kill a mockingbird. I've read it multiple times and all at different points in my life. The first time was 8th grade and I loved it so much I recited an excerpt for our forensics club competition and won a medal ❤️ 1w

AnishaInkspill oh no, I am going to miss these, they have been so much fun, thank you 💛😊 1w

dabbe @Catsandbooks You are in good company! Most of us scored between 5-20. TKAM is an absolute favorite of mine, too. I loved teaching it. I wish GO SET A WATCHMAN had never been published, though. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶💚🩶 1w

dabbe @AnishaInkspill I'll think of more; no need to worry! 🤩😂🤗 1w

Catsandbooks @dabbe I haven't read Watchman because when it came out so many people said they didn't like it and I didn't want it to color my opinion of Mockingbird. 1w

dabbe @Catsandbooks You were very wise. It almost ruined TKAM for me. Lee never wanted it published for a reason. Stay far away from it. 🩶💚🩶 6d

thebacklistbook 13/110 20h

dabbe @thebacklistbook Well done! Most of us scored between 5-25. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💚🩶💚 11h

BookSpinBingo | Untitled

Here‘s my picks for #bookspinbingo. #4 is my #bookspin pick and #10 is my #doublespin pick. My #bookspin pick is going to be Assassin‘s Apprentice by Robin Hobb for the #realmofelderlings readalong. I don‘t think I‘ll finish it this month because the audiobook is 17 hrs but I want to at least start it. My #doublespin will be a series I‘m finishing on my Kindle but I will be able to finish the series that I picked.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! 3w

Spinning Away | Jake Maddox

The #bookspin gods were not especially kind to me, but one of the books on my TBR does count for #4 - The StoryGraph Reads the World challenge, so I can‘t be too mad. Assuming, of course, that a book I started last month but am only 22% of the way through counts for this month‘s bookspin??
#doublespin is an add to my TBR and I think I‘ll have some tough decisions about which book clubs or library books go unread. 😮‍💨

TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! And it DEFINITELY counts!! I see Elizabeth Wheatley's videos on IG sometimes, but haven't tried any of her books. How do you feel about it? 3w

DGRachel @thearomaofbooks I read the first in the series and thought it was pretty good. Definitely good enough to continue with the series. The pacing is a little slow and I fear the romance part is going to be the slowest of slow burns, which isn‘t my fav, but I do like the world building so far. 3w

Bookzombie @TheAromaofBooks I was going to ask about Wheatley as well. @DGRachel based on her videos, I think it will be a very slow burn. I have the first one on my Kindle to try sometime.
