Welcome to Litsy!

1. Tagged. The Earthquake Bird by Susannah Jones. I remember being obsessed by it some years ago. - I even once missed my commuter train stop on my way home from work at theatre in the middle of the night because I was so hooked 😅
2. Unheimlich (=eerie, uncanny), a YA romantic thriller omnibus by Ursula Isbel. Got it on my 13th b'day. Still reread it every once in a while.
3. After Dark and/or Dance Dance Dance, my two faves by Haruki Murakami.

Thanks to #RushAThon I have made an effort during the weekend & last few days of my holidays and read a ton (for me at least).

I read and finished A Stranger in the House by Shari Lapena which was also my #Doublespin for September;
a reread of Hamlet by Shakespeare (#Reread was my #Bookspin of June)
as well as the biggest achievement - I pushed through the last third and annotations of Jules Verne's 20000 Leagues under the Seas 😖

In honor of Groundhog Day here are three of my favorite rereads from January (get it?😀)

As I continue to limp towards the #DriveTo500 finish line, I‘m finishing up my #BookspinBingo board. I am digging print books right now, Fight Night and Asymmetry, but new audiobooks are feeling like a chore! I am enjoying Vanderbilt, though. What a fascinating family! I think I‘m going to try some more #rereads like Nobody Somebody Anybody.

High-risers is my center square, and I‘ve tried twice. Just not the right time. 🐻 #WeeklyForecast

I am struggling this week with the #DriveTo500. (Reading 500 books this year.) I am 35 away atm, but if it weren‘t for this, I‘d probably be sliding into a slump. I may finish with a bunch of #rereads, but 🤞🏻 I‘ll make it.

All three print books were BIG TIME winners!! I loved my reread of Mary Jane. Perfect for my mood now. The Ai Weiwei was far too heavy, but I‘m enjoying my #audiobook reread of Fake Accounts. #BookReport

An old one, but a good one. Adding this re-read to my October list! #rereads #bookintomovie #octoberread

And with this book, SJM loses me a lot. Aelin is conniving, and after 5 books her lack of communication is so frustrating. Especially when combined with SJM‘s habit of springing “known” info on the readers, it was a slog. Also, the repetition is a little annoying. “Rutting” isn‘t a great word, and absolutely does not replace the f-word well. Just say f*ck with your whole chest, please.

I remember liking this a lot more the first time I read it, but a lot has changed since then. I‘m older than Celaena, which shouldn‘t make so much of a difference but it really does. She seems childish, and makes observations that should seem obvious that aren‘t. Also, I really hate love triangles. I think they‘re dumb, and this one sets up a triangle that‘s…dumber than most. Nehemia is by far one of my favorite characters, but she‘s used so (1)

This is one of my “instant favorites“, I fell in love with this book the moment I began reading it. It's a beautiful tale of self-love, of finding yourself, of living your life to the fullest, exactly the way YOU want to live your life.
