Bk1 of November is(finally)done! That was another fabulous Sci-fi novel from Gibson, on par with Neuromancer for sure. He has a knack for eerily prophetic stories, mostly set in the not so distant future. Set in two times, 2032 I believe & around 70yrs later, it‘s full of tech that‘s not a huge stretch from what we have today. Highly recommend🤖 #BookspinBingo #SeriesRead2022 #BookToMovie2022 #MountTBR2022

Lizpixie Do you like the colour of my new kitchen? The walls, not the cupboards, I had no say in them🤷🏻‍♀️ 1y
TheSpineView @Lizpixie The yellow looks great. 💛 1y
Lizpixie @TheSpineView thanks lovely! It‘s a deeper yellow than my library , it brightens the kitchen up wonderfully which is great coz it‘s so small. We‘re painting the adjoining lounge/dining room next in apple green & dove grey🍏🕊️ 1y

TheSpineView @Lizpixie Yellow is so cheerful. The green should be pretty too. My bedroom is green and I love that is feels earthly. 1y
DogMomIrene I‘ve been watching the series on Prime, eagerly awaiting for the latest episode to drop on Fridays. Definitely going to read this one. 1y
CarolynM Kitchen‘s looking good😍 1y
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 1y
Lizpixie @CarolynM thanks sweetie💛 it‘s definitely an improvement on the old kitchen, better setup with underbench oven & gas cooktop & builtin pantry. Once I get the new curtains & coffee/tea corner setup it‘ll be fabulous. Plus I‘m adding one of those indoor herb gardens for my cooking🌱Can‘t wait🥘🥗 1y
Lizpixie @DogMomIrene I‘m loving the series too. Fair warning, the books main plot is pretty much the same but it diverges a great deal with characters & other things not in the series(so far at least).But it‘s actually better I think. I‘m just about to start the 2nd book, Agency, which I have a signed hardcover of💃🏻*fangirl squeal* (edited) 1y
CarolynM That sounds good🙂 I much prefer gas for the cooktop too. And I love cooking with fresh herbs - we have a herb garden (and tomatoes) just outside the kitchen door. 1y
Lizpixie @CarolynM so did I! I have two old stone washtubs I use for herbs & a veggie garden, but when I had a major flare then Covid on top it all died. I‘m hoping to restart at least the herbs outside, get my fruit trees looking better & some tommies in pots on the verandah for now. Once the house has had a full spring clean we‘ll be starting on the yard again. God, I hope I didn‘t just jinx it!🤞🤞🤞🤞 1y
DogMomIrene @Lizpixie good to know. I just snagged the audiobook on audible and saw the second book, which makes me all 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 1y

Mehso-so

Bk14 of #Scarathlon #readathon is done! I finished this yesterday but not posting till now, so can‘t count it for the #20in4 which I‘ll be starting now. This was a so-so for me as the “do as your husband commands” part really p***ed me off, but the rest was pretty good. I loved the narrator though. #WordSearch #BodyCountBingo #LittenListenBingo #PromptMaze #31x31 #Spookaween #Pointsathon #WickedWords #BookspinBingo👇#TeamSlaughter 3,876pts

Bk7 of #Scarathlon & Bk2 of #OutstandingOctober #readathon is done! I completely forgot this was on my TBR until I watched the movie the other night. Which I still have to post about. This original Japanese version is very different in some ways, but still a good read. #WordSearch #BodyCountBingo #PromptMaze #AutumnAtoZ #31x31 #Spookaween #Pointsathon #WickedWords #AutumnBingo #StabbyBingo #Thrillathon #BookspinBingo👇#TeamSlaughter 3,616pts

Bk11 of January 2022 & #JumpStart2022 is done. The 3rd in the Alice series, it‘s an anthology of four short stories. The 1st is about Elizabeth, Alice‘s little sister who is lured out to release the Jabberwock from his prison, one is about Hatcher‘s early days & the rest about Alice & Hatcher‘s search for a home. All creepy & bloody, all brilliant! #BookspinBingo #SeriesRead2022 #Pop22 #BeatTheBacklist #FinishingTheSeries2022 #MountTBR2022👇

Bk9 of January2022 & #JumpStart2022 is done too! This pretty little hardcover has been on my #MountTBRShelvesOfDoom since it was released in 2018🤭So glad I finally read it, it was a lot darker than I was expecting. A female line of witches on an island in the Salish Sea learn that the price of using dark magic is blood & pain. Pitting mother against daughter it‘s very grim but also beautifully written. #BookspinBingo #Pop22 #BeatTheBacklist2022👇

Bk7 of January 2022 & #JumpStart2022 & Bk3 of #JoyousJanuary #readathon is done. The 4th in the Cormaran Strike series, it isn‘t my favourite so far but it was still a good read. A mentally unwell young man asks Strike & Robin to investigate his memory of a murder. Lots of twists & turns & the interplay between Robin, her new husband & Strike was also entertaining. #BookspinBingo #SeriesRead2022 #BeatTheBacklist #ChunksterChallenge #ShelfOfShame👇

Bk4 of January 2022 & #JumpStart2022 is done. Finally! Haven‘t had time to read with the cleaning but I got there in the end.Fantastic space opera,the start of a new series it‘s full of beautiful imagery & space facts. There‘s a section that talks about the SuperMassiveBlackHole at the centre of the Milky Way that was brilliant. The characters & the story were both well written & interesting. Highly recommend. #BookspinBingo #Pop22 #ReadHarder22👇
