Anyone else find themselves excessively browsing their own libraries? So instead of thinking about what actual book you own that you'd like to read, you just come up with a list of criteria and endlessly browse and re-browse your own library, waiting for a book that meets said criteria to suddenly materialize ... or is that just me? 😅 #moodreader

Aims42 Right here with you 🙋‍♀️ And explaining this to a non-mood reader? Good luck 😂 1w

Bookbuyingaddict @booksandblanketsandahotbeverage @ShyBookOwl @Bookwomble isn‘t that all of us 😆Im ashamed of my spare room I need a sort out! I deed watch a book vlogger with a great 👍 idea 💡 number each book 📖 on each shelf I.e. S1 B5…etc put in a TBR jar 🫙 then mix em up and when your ready for next read pull one out and hey presto 😆 how old am I 🤣🤣 sometimes it‘s the little things ! 😘 7d
ShyBookOwl @Bookbuyingaddict Omg, I have a jar on my bookshelf filled with little pieces of paper upon which are written TBR titles. The plan was to grab one at random once a month. I did it once, wasn't in the mood for the book, never tried again 🤣 4d
Bookbuyingaddict @ShyBookOwl me too ! I did it once beginning of March it‘s still in the window 🪟 untouched 🤣🤣your not alone 🤣😘 4d

Trying to decide what to read next. Sometimes it's just so hard to pick a book

#moodreader

wanderinglynn The struggle is real. #imamoodreadertoo 1w
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I put books on hold at the library, then when they are available, I‘m no longer in the mood, so I get it 😬 1w

Welp, I wasn't planning on rereading this one just yet but ever since finishing Bookshops and Bonedust, I can't get Viv out of my head. So here we are 🙃 #moodreader

Here‘s my September #BookSpin #DoubleSpin @TheAromaofBooks and a peek of Capri 🇮🇹

Kimzey I like the flexibility of this plan! 😻 8mo
Cinfhen I find this approach works best for me @Kimzey #MoodReader - the prompts direct but NOT dictate 😉 8mo
Kimzey Yes, I‘m a mood reader also. My previous Bookspins have been sidelined when I found a book I wanted to read more at that moment. 😊 8mo

I quite enjoyed this Aussie novel that reminds me of The Virgin Suicides, one of my fave coming of age books.

Sisters Tikka & Laura are friends with their neighbors, the three Van Apfel sisters. Mr. VA is a Jehovah‘s Witness and tries to force his religion on his daughters (including physical abuse), but middle sister Cordelia is especially rebellious. Years after the girls disappear, Tikka and Laura are still trying to figure out what happened.

Cinfhen I have this on my Kindle from years ago!! #MaybeOneDay 8mo
Megabooks @Cinfhen #MoodReader 😁😁 this had been on my list forever, too. It was on a Barbie display at the library, and it was just right book/right time. 8mo
Cinfhen Hahaha!!! I love that #LibraryBarbie 🩷🩷🩷 8mo

July, July: A Novel | Tim O'Brien

My July TBR. I won‘t get to all of these but I will for challenges like #SundayBuddyReads #CampLitsy2023 #TitlesAndTunes #hashtagbrigade for #Pemberlittens #BookedInTime #DiverseCozy #SeriesLove2023 + my virtual foodie book club & leadership books for work I will. The others are “hope to get to” although I am in the midst of two of them & you never know what will just pop up & grab my attention.
💯 #moodreader

peaKnit I just re-read Happiness for Beginners “with” Katherine Center on Instagram to be ready for the Netflix release at the end of the month. So cute! 10mo
DebinHawaii @peaknit Aww… I wish I knew she was doing that. I added it to my July TBR because I wanted to be ready for the Netflix release! 🧡 10mo

Book Report Beagle | Pamela Klawitter

Another week another late #BookReport! 😂 Chrysalis: review posted - loved it! Oak Flat had beautiful art! The landscapes looked organic and alive and just leapt off the page. Homegrown: Toobin does it again! One of the best narrative nonfictions this year. It‘s about McVeigh, the OKC bombing and the legacy it holds in the alt right and even mainstream right today.

Traffic: interesting about Buzzfeed and Gawker‘s strategies for going viral and ⬇️

Megabooks how they shaped the internet and social media. Pornography was fascinating and gave me a lot to think about in regards to the business side of the industry, treatment of performers, etc. She was careful to look at it from both pro- and anti-porn sides as well as the industry as a whole. This has been out since last year but is new to audio. 11mo
Megabooks Game wasn‘t what I expected and ended quickly and abruptly. Thriller about a survival in the wilderness TV show. The Larson I reviewed. Wasn‘t my fave. The Cruz: great idea. Looking at the recession from the perspective for an older immigrant woman who lost her job. Liked the epistolary elements BUT a pet peeve: most of the book is supposed to be an interview, but they never gave the interviewer dialogue so it‘s just rambling…👎 11mo
BarbaraBB At least you had a great reading week 🩵! love your reviews! 11mo

squirrelbrain Once again, my TBR grows as a result of your #wrapup! 11mo
AmyG Ha @squirrelbrain agreed! 11mo
Cinfhen Lots of genres!! Good mix of fiction and NF 😁 11mo
Megabooks @Cinfhen thanks! This has definitely been a NF heavier month. I haven‘t felt much like fiction on audio! Returned this to the library 11mo
Megabooks @BarbaraBB I did! Thanks! 11mo
Megabooks @squirrelbrain @AmyG thanks y‘all!! I wish I had more time for litsy these days, but stuff is calming down a bit here. 11mo
Cinfhen I‘m curious about that one but I get what u mean about mood!!! Total #MoodReader / why are u awake??? 11mo
Megabooks I went to bed at like 9:30 so I‘ve been up since 4. Stomach pain is really bothering me in the night. I can hardly wear pants anymore. ☹️ I‘m in a men‘s XL now and they feel uncomfortable. Still no idea what‘s wrong. Also, I can sit in a recliner or lie down in bed or stand, but sitting in a normal chair is awful. Really curious if they find anything on the test in June. It just doesn‘t make sense. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ forgot to tag @Cinfhen (edited) 11mo
BarbaraBB Oh Meg that sounds tough. I wish someone could finally clear up what‘s happening. The waiting and not knowing is killing. Do you have elderly support now for your parents? Thinking of you 🩷 11mo
Megabooks @BarbaraBB thanks B 💜💜 it‘s just really weird. I‘m hoping things calm down. No help yet. I‘m going to push mom on it a bit more though. The problem is our need is irregular times and people who work want regular hours. 🤔 11mo
AmyG Oy, you have your hands full. I hope they find out what is going on with you soon. Thinking of you, too. 11mo
Megabooks @AmyG thanks so much 💜 it‘s just been a really frustrating, painful time. ☹️ 11mo
BarbaraBB I can see it‘s a difficult question you have with the irregular hours. I so hope you‘ll succeed 🤞🏽🍀 (edited) 11mo
BarbaraBB And I am glad you‘re still reading. I hope that‘s a distraction 🤍 11mo
