#Two4Tuesday
Thanks for the tags, @TheSpineView and @Eggs! 🤗

1. I have three horrendous shelves. They are rundown and not pretty. I would love to have bright white ones from floor to ceiling. #someday
2. Whenever I “clean“ the shelves, I put them in groupings by genre. That lasts about 1 month and then they're all messed up all over again.
Notice no pictures! 🤣😀🤗

TheSpineView You're welcome and thanks for playing!🌞📚📚 9mo
Eggs ❤️❤️❤️ 9mo
Bklover Sounds like my shelves. I did dedicate one whole bookcase to my Stephen King books, but otherwise it‘s just look til you find it. I‘ve decided that can be fun though, as then I see books I forgot I have!💛 9mo
dabbe @Bklover Too true! I can count on more than one hand the times I have purchased a book only to find that I already had it! Yikes! 🤣🤩😍 9mo

Mehso-so

Meh. After DNFing this book (twice) I was told that it was in two parts and to give it 10 pages past the break. Well, it was intriguing enough to finish, but that‘s about it. #Tob20 #ToB

Hooked_on_books I found it pointless. I‘ll never understand why it won the NBA. 4y
Cinfhen It‘s on my physical TBR #Someday 4y
cariashley I was impressed by the writing voodoo but can‘t say I loved the story overall - something felt lacking. I‘m also surprised it won. 4y

Just a tad behind the rest of the world on this one... #nowreading

Erinreadsthebooks Not behind me 😏 It's been on my shelf forever 6y
Insightsintobooks It's okay, I still have to read it too. I'm hoping the kindle version goes on sale soon. 6y
Reviewsbylola I‘m even further behind. I own it so I assume I‘ll read it some day. 😂 6y

I loved most of this book with the exception of the April storyline and its ending. That almost ruined it for me. The rest was a wonderful depiction of college friendship and life as a 20-something. I graduated college a year before the women in this book so the time they were living in felt very familiar and relatable. Plus my sister-in-law is a Smithie so I was familiar with the campus and the traditions. #booked2018 #friendship

Cinfhen Nice photo and great review 💚I‘m putting this book on my #someday pile 6y

I was not prepared for such sensuous writing! WOW 🤩Aciman so beautifully describes how it feels to be completely mesmerized by another individual ~ to physically ache and hunger for a shared touch or passing glance. I found parts of the story repetitive and the plot is very thin but the lush, stark writing wins you over. It‘s a pick but I didn‘t love this book like so many others. #Later 😉

TrishB I won‘t say I just thought it was boring then! I‘m the least romantic person in the world though..... 6y
emilyhaldi Glad you liked it!! I am excited to give it a whirl... sounds like something I will like ☺️ 6y
Redwritinghood @TrishB You may have competition in me. I couldn‘t finish this one, was also bored. (edited) 6y

Christy2318 It was repetitive in some parts & I can totally see why some people didn‘t like it. What I loved about it was what you said about how it captured the feeling of being mesmerized by another person - the intensity & depth of that 1st infatuation & love & how strong those feelings still were 25 years later. 6y
saresmoore @emilyhaldi I do think you will like this one. In my unpopular opinion, Enigma Variations was better, though. 😏 6y
TrishB @Redwritinghood 😁👍🏻 6y
Reggie How funny, I totally would have bet on @TrishB liking it and @Cinfhen very much not liking it. Lol, just goes to show, you never really know. 6y
emilyhaldi Oh good! @saresmoore I have Enigma in my tbr stacks currently 😉 6y
TrishB @Reggie the fun of books 😁👍🏻 6y
Cinfhen Who saw the film? I‘m guessing not you @trishb !?? How about you @Reggie ? @Christy2318 @saresmoore ? How does this book compare to 6y
TrishB I loved Simon!! 💕Not seen film but son has and loved it! 6y
saresmoore I didn‘t see the film, but have heard good things. 6y
Reggie I haven‘t seen the movies but read both books and loved them both. I refuse to see Call Me By Your Name cause I was devastated by the book. 6y
CarolynM I agree it was all about the writing. I had a problem with the Oliver character which made it less of an emotional experience for me. The film was all about the scenery and Timothee Chalamet, same problem. Comparing this with Simon is apples and oranges. It's pointless. This is serious and elegiac, Simon is light and fun (although it does have a serious message) and all about right now. (edited) 6y
Christy2318 I really liked the movie too! I can‘t comment on Simon. 6y
Cinfhen Thanks guys, I guess I wanted to know if Simon was overly wrought and sort of that angsty YA teenage mellow drama @TrishB @CarolynM @Reggie !?! But since you all loved it, I‘m putting it on my #someday list 💋 6y
britt_brooke @Cinfhen It should come as no surprise that I hated this one. 🙅🏼‍♀️🍑 @emilyhaldi Will be curious to see what you think. 6y
britt_brooke I did love Simon, though! ❤️ 6y
emilyhaldi Lol @britt_brooke some things are more predictable than others apparently! 6y

Bookquilter Sadly still sitting in my TBR pile .... #someday 6y
JoScho I haven‘t read it but I saw the movie and it was creepy as hell. 6y

Now that it's October, it's time for #screamathon, #littensdressedinblood, and the continuation of #ripxii. I basically got started on all of this in September, so here are the spooky, suspenseful, or at the very least appropriately themed (I'm looking at you, Vampire Farce) books that I just read and am looking forward to reading.

TaylorMay Ooh your #someday reads are on mine too! I feel like I need to work myself up for House of Leaves 6y
merelybookish I really enjoyed the stories in Vampire in the Lemon Grove! 6y
Natasha.C.Barnes @TaylorMay Oh yeah, me too. I'm so excited about that one that I'd love to read it right now but my immediate TBRs are buddy reads or books I have on hand or for another challenge. So it will have to wait... 6y

Natasha.C.Barnes @merelybookish Me too! Which was your favorite? I can't decide, but I think Proving Up was terrifying. 6y
roaming.reader Love this!!! I got started on my Halloween reads in September as well! I'm so happy to see you were on the same boat! 6y
Natasha.C.Barnes @roaming.reader Haha, yeah, seeing all the scary challenges being announced really got me in the mood and I guess I couldn't wait! 😂 6y
BarbaraBB Rebecca 😍 6y
MidnightBookGirl So many great titles! Universal Harvester is also on my tbr. 6y
Natasha.C.Barnes @MidnightBookGirl I found it to be not quite as good as I'd hoped. I think Darnielle's writing is beautiful but he hinged this book around a kind of mystery with a disappointing conclusion--I wish he hadn't made it such a puzzle so I could have better enjoyed what it could have been: a slow meditation of families and grief. 6y
MidnightBookGirl I have heard that it's not as good as Wolf in White Van. 6y
Natasha.C.Barnes @MidnightBookGirl I read the opposite but I much preferred Wolf in White Van. But I hope he keeps writing! I wouldn't necessarily *not* read Universal Harvester, but i would definitely keep it mind that it isn't a horror book or really even scary at all and that you should try not to focus too much on the reveal aspect 6y

The articles prepared me for rejection. Of course I knew it would happen, and I told myself I wouldn't cry. I totally cried 😂 rejection # 1 has officially arrived. But I will barrel through it. And stay positive, and hopefully someday the books I have written will be read by the fabulous people on this site. #staystrong #keepgoing #write #wannabeauthor #someday #fiction #itsokaytocry
