Adopted Jane | Helen Fern Daringer

#timbittunes #lonelylonely

I can‘t believe I haven‘t posted about this book before! Have you read this @LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads ? Jane is #lonelylonely in the orphanage even though she is surrounded by little children and plenty of chores. She climbs into the one bare tree in the ashphalt yard to read a book. But a surprise awaits when she gets not one, but two opportunities at a prospective home. Published 1947. 😍😍😍

The People We Hate at the Wedding | Grant Ginder

so-so

Meh... I have to say, the title is probably the most charming part of this whole book. It‘s a dysfunctional family story with two siblings and the wedding of their older half-sister at the heart of it. There were moments that felt real (the Chicago suburbs certainly felt authentic!!) but with characters that aren‘t even fun to love to hate... these #LonelyLonely people left me wishing I had read something more fun! #TimbitTunes

Cinfhen I bailed early on so I‘m kind of relieved to hear I made the right choice😉 5y

TorieStorieS @Cinfhen You totally made the right choice!! I think I would‘ve bailed had I read this! I finished on Audible but certainly not because I liked any of the characters!!! 5y

k.reads.5 Thanks for your honest review. I remember seeing buzz about this one. 5y

TorieStorieS @pl.2886 You are welcome!! I bought it in an Audible sale so it counts in my Mt TBR at least! ☺️ 5y

Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy | Douglas Adams

“It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds...[but] a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero...”

Cinfhen And that is why I haven‘t finished this book 😜I‘ve picked it up several times and after a few pages I always place it in #hibernation 🐻 5y

CarolynM 😂😂😂 5y

LiterRohde @Cinfhen @CarolynM Wow. I must be slow today. I‘ve been trying to figure out the joke all morning and I just don‘t get it. 5y

Cinfhen That passage is so convoluted that it makes my head spin! There are certain books that I really want to read but I can‘t seem to get pass page 5 so instead of actually bailing, I keep them in hibernation( like a bear) hoping to one day thaw them out and try again @CarolynM knows that I OWN many books that are currently in #hibernation😉Does that help @LiterRohde !???! 5y

LiterRohde @Cinfhen Thank you! I just wanted to be part of the “in” crowd and for the life of me, it went right over my head this time. Thanks for the help. And as a side note, in my sick brain, the convolution is what makes this book so funny. It‘s like some of the passages from A Series of Unfortunate Events. They make my head spin! See my post for #QuotsyJune18 | 3: #Repeat ! 5y

bookishbitch I love these books and are some of the few I re-read. 5y

sixgun This also one of my few re-reads. I don't care for the recent film, I'm an old school BBC gal. But nothing compares to the actual Adam's books. Likely the funniest book I've ever read! 5y

Wittgenstein's Mistress | David Markson

This post contains spoilers

show me

#lonelylonely #TimbitTunes @TheKidUpstairs @Cinfhen
Not actually a spoiler, but I feel like the final lines of any book are spoilerish. (It would also be literally impossible to spoil anything in this book since there is no plot).

Cinfhen Love the imagery and even the last line but I think this is a pass for me😉 5y

Billypar @Cinfhen I love it, but I think a stream of consciousness novel with a single character is a pass for most 😁 5y

Liz_M This is a book I wanted to like more than I did. I could recognize the wonderful writing, but want in the right place/time to enjoy it. 5y

Billypar @Liz_M I read it in college, and it's one that has stuck in my head ever since. I keep intending to reread it: I'm curious if it lives up to my memory. Such a bold concept: not sure if that's what makes it so memorable for me. 5y

Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper | Hallie Rubenhold

What could be more #lonelylonely than the victims of Jack the Ripper? The Tower of London‘s Ravenmaster posted an article about this book today (he led Ripper tours in London for five years!). It will be released in the UK at the end of this month.

Unlike other Ripper books, this is focused more on his victims—who they were and how they ended up being victims of the most notorious serial killer in the world.

LeahBergen I‘ve preordered this (something I rarely do)! 5y
