London book haul 3/3

Got these from Goldsboro too 💕💕 Not part of the event, but when in Rome...

So now that I've completely failed at #ownitalreadyoctober I guess I'll be aiming for #nobuynovember or #DON'TEVENTHINKABOUTITDecember 🤣🤣💃

@MidnightBookGirl
Caitlyn Doughty is an author, youtuber, funeral home owner and promoter of green burial. She promotes "death positivity". The tagged book, while pretty graphic, really helped me while grieving. I am a fan, also called her deathling.

MidnightBookGirl Love, love, love her books! They also have helped me with grief, and because I work with the elderly, it's important for me to see death in a more positive light. My friend and I are actually taking a End of Life Doula course starting this month. 3y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Love her!!! Her YouTube channel is one of my favorites and I get all giddy when there‘s a new upload. 😅❤️ 3y
Tera66 @MidnightBookGirl wow! My friend is doing that too, she is also a psychic medium. I would love to hear about how it goes for you.. I think her books and podcasts have really helped me be more accepting of death and dying, my bestfriend calls me morbid. But I think it's just that death is easier to talk about because of Caitlyn. 3y

Tera66 @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Mee too, especially the few she actually did during 2020. 3y
rwmg I've got Smoke Gets In Your Eyes on my virtual TBR shelf. Maybe it's time to move it up a bit 3y
Tera66 @rwmg It's great, but again warning, it has some icky parts. 3y

This has been on my TBR for quite a while; admittedly, recent events bumped this up the list. The last couple of months, I‘ve been amazed at my own lack of awareness and perspective on the topics of #systemicracism & #policebrutality. Stories like this one serve a very important purpose to #educate people and highlight the corruption. While this story did not have the ultimate desired outcome, I have faith that a real change will come. It has to.

PurpleTulipGirl As sad as the resolution was, it felt more realistic than what I would have preferred. Which makes me sad. 4y
rethier1 @PurpleTulipGirl Absolutely 😔 Not many happy endings on this topic to-date. But as Starr said, “Yet I think it‘ll change one day. How? I don‘t know. When? I definitely don‘t know. Why? Because there will always be someone ready to fight.” #don‘tgiveup #speakup #demandchange #standtogether 🤎🤍🖤 4y

Halloween Party | Agatha Christie
Pickpick

In one word... Amazing! Couldn‘t be sure till the last page who was/were the culprit..although so many clues but I just couldn‘t guess. All the characters have been portrayed in such likeable fashion that it felt like either it was no one or it could be all of them in it together like a cult or something 😆. #I recommend it #go for it #don‘t go by the negative reviews # it‘s just as good as any of the Agatha‘s

#GiveAwayArtemis So this is the first of @Liberty giveaway posts I‘ve done but it called to me. I am old school and by that I mean old and in school this book was my secret obsession that I thought only I knew about and that made me- book nerd and chorus geek -secretly cool! I adore Douglas Adams RIP and live by the Guide- #Don‘tPanic!

kalinichta For senior year AP English, instead of a final exam, we created "Cliff notes" for a book of it choosing from the teacher's list. I did Hitchhiker's Guide. Sadly, I lost the finished product somewhere over the years. 7y
Booksnchill @kalinichta what a smart choice- awful that you lost it- maybe Ford took it??🤣🤣🤣👍 7y
kalinichta Typical! 7y

Follow Murakami #underground and you will find some pretty terrifying creatures lurking. You'll get a little relief every other chapter in this split narrative as you visit a nondescript town, known as...The Town, though that storyline becomes increasingly disturbing in its own right. How the two stories connect...not gonna go there, but read this one to break out of your next book slump- it will do the trick. #septembowie @Marchpane @Cinfhen

Cinfhen I've yet to find a Murakami that I liked 😬😬😬😬#don'tjudgeme #nohatingonme 7y
Billypar @Cinfhen Ha- wouldn't dream of it 😃- he's popular but still not for everyone. I wish I could say- 'you should try 'x' because it's not like the others' but I think if you like/dislike one, pretty much par for the course. 7y
Marchpane This sounds terrific! The only book of his I have read is The Strange Library so I don't think I can claim to have "read Murakami" - maybe I'll start with this? 7y
Billypar @Marchpane I haven't read that one yet- have just been eyeing it in the bookstore. But I think this one or A Wild Sheep Chase would both be great ones to start with. 7y
Marchpane Thanks for the tip! 7y

BookishBeth Tell The Wolves I'm Home is sooo good!! 7y
Lcsmcat @bookishbeth I'm really looking forward to that one. It's going to be difficult not to jump ahead and read it. 7y
Booksnob The Life we Bury is awesome! I'm just finishing Allens 3rd book The Heavens May Fall. Also really good. Enjoy! 7y

#don'tstopbelievin #rockinmay. Take a trip to Botswana and meet the no.1 lady detective, Mma Ramotswe . Have a cup of bush tea and admire Mma Makutsi's typing skills. Perhaps rent a car at Speedy Motors and meet Mr. JLB Maketoni.

Cinfhen I've never read this series but I know it's quite popular 💕 8y
Liatrek This is a great series 😊 The characters are great and I love learning about life in Botswana. 8y
Dragon Thanks @Cinfhen it's a lovely cozy mystery series 😀 8y

Dragon Thanks @Liatrek totally agree with you 😀 8y
Cinfhen I haven't gotten into the cozy mystery genre 😌not sure why... 8y
Dragon Thanks @Cinfhen I don't read a lot of cozy mystery books, but every so often I want something light that's not a romance. 😀 These books in particular, are rather charming. 8y
Cinfhen That's true! I'll keep them in mind ~ thanks 😊 8y

A nonfiction account of a con man in New York in the early 1900's who decided to answer the unopened letters to Santa that piled up every year in the post office. He made believers out of many little children while always planning his next get rich scheme. #don'tstopbelieving #rockinmay

Cinfhen Ohhh, this sounds REALLY GOOD 😊 8y
