I‘ve had tears in my eyes and a grin on my face all day. #wdncw This is resistance and hope. F*** trump and MAGA and billionaires and patriarchy and capitalism. I‘m so proud of NYC and all of the other cities and states that voted against fascism.

I love this series, it has strong "The Mummy" and "Romancing the Stone" vibes. The first book is on offer right now "0.99 in USD, CAD, EUR, AUD, and NZD".

#wdncw we do not care that the death tower is judging us! New books bring joy! Get. In. My. Cart.

dabbe The collection is just as important (if not more so) than the actual reading. You're collecting art. 🧡💜💛 3w
Suet624 I get such a feeling of joy when I see others having the same issue that I have. Yes, I have piles of books. Yes, I need more. 3w
AmyG I‘m off to the bookstore today. Yes, I need more books. 3w

I'm still feeling the energy from Saturday's protest. We were 10 minutes late, and the line was already 1.2 miles long on one side of the street, and about half that on the other. Not bad for a county of 66,000 (because it is a county wide effort).

This was a really fun historical adventure with a touch of supernatural elements. Think Mummy/Indiana Jones but the snappy intellectual woman is the main character. It is a very slow burn romance, and a touch slow paced. However, I really enjoyed the characters and look forward to continuing the series. 5⭐️

mariaku21 That cover gave me The Mummy vibes before I read your post 😄 1mo
PuddleJumper That cover is awesome! 1mo

Four children and a parrot want to explore an offshore island in the hope of finding a Great Auk.

Good fun, if not as gripping as I remembered from my childhood. Apparently this was the modernised/bowdlerised version, though I don't remember the original well enough to be able to tell.

Cuilin Love rereading books from childhood. I read most by Blyton but this group of kids I don‘t remember. 1mo

Israeli Yossi, American Kevin, and Swiss Marcus are mochileros (backpackers) in Bolivia who decide they want to see a real jungle and Indian village. They hire a man, Karl, to guide them through the forest. As the title makes obvious, everything goes terribly wrong. These mochileros have no idea that their enthusiasm isn‘t enough to get them out alive. It is gruesome and harrowing. Yossi lives to write the book—so there‘s that. Yossi spends ⬇️

Texreader what feels like an eternity getting to the hike, especially the relationship between them. But he continues that level of detail throughout, and it seems he wants to do right by the men who started the journey with him to acknowledge what each man went through. Whatever you do, don‘t listen to the audiobook. The narrator doesn‘t sound human (I confirmed it‘s not AI). He over-enunciates (annoying!) and provides almost no emotions. I quit ⬇️ 2mo
Texreader the audiobook and checked out the ebook. So glad I did. I recommend it but beware, this is sheer survival mode. If ever one could have almost every bad thing happen, it happened to Yossi. I hope to see the movie Jungle with Daniel Radcliffe now, but I hope it is not so gruesome. #Bolivia #foodandlit @Catsandbooks 2mo
