A Christmas Carol | Charles Dickens

I'm listening to this on audio now. Tim Curry does an AMAZING job narrating. The first audiobook I'm actually enjoying. Also my first time reading this story although I've seen countless movie adaptations of it.
#holidayreads #audiobook

BarbaraTheBibliophage Swoon! I love his voice. 😀 7y

GlitteryOtters I LOVE this edition! I have a long drive to & from my husband's family's Xmas get together on 12/24 & I am going to do my annual relisten during that drive. I am having a hard time waiting for it. I just want to listen *now*! 7y

underthebelljar @BarbaraTheBibliophage He does the different character voices so well! 7y

underthebelljar @GlitteryOtters I can see why! 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage I am now thinking I'll have to snag this audio. #buyingunderthelitfluence 7y

underthebelljar @BarbaraTheBibliophage It was a good deal - I got it for $0.99 on audible by adding narration to the free kindle book. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Done. That's the kind of deal I just can't pass up. Thanks! 😘 7y

underthebelljar @BarbaraTheBibliophage You're welcome! 😊 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @britt_brooke It's a bad / good habit, right? 😜 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @JPeterson @Handmade_Redhead Glad you picked it up! I recently read than any woman with education (who could read!) was considered a witch. That would be us, friends! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 7y

Belton Estate | Anthony Trollope

I am thinking of going to an estate sale this afternoon (mother of a former neighbor) because she said "lots of books $1 each" and I have $40 left won in a slot machine last week (yay found money!). What should I look for? Anyone else get books at estate sales?

BookishMarginalia No estate sales here in PR, but wishing you great book karma in this one! Keep us posted! 7y

minkyb I wish you luck and happy hunting. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage What a great idea! #buyingunderthelitfluence 7y

Trav I've been wanting to read this book for a while now after I watched a movie that was loosely based on Carmilla. 7y

Trav Glad you enjoyed it! 7y

Trav Wait. There's an audiobook with David Tennant? WHERE DO I FIND THIS PIECE OF MAGIC. 7y

BookishFeminist @SpecsyBeast I just heard about the web series & want to give it a try after enjoying this! 7y

BookishFeminist @Trav What movie?! This is such a good book. I think you'd like it a lot. Here's the audiobook with David Tennant: www.audible.com/pd/Fiction/Carmilla-Audiobook/B015RJL1Z6 😘😘 7y

Trav It was called Byzantium. The reviews weren't very favourable towards it by I didn't mind it. Oh great thanks for the link, I will go check it out. 7y

My Lady Jane | Jodi Meadows, Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand

pick

One of the best books of the year is just $1.99 today! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015CYCHNQ On sale for Kindle and Nook.

It's a hysterically funny re-imagining of Lady Jane Grey's brief reign. It shouldn't work, but thanks to deft storytelling, witty dialogue, and clever subversion of history (and sexist norms), it does. The punny humor will have you in stitches!

PS, the physical book is also great; deckled edges + a fun detail on the spine.

MrBook Beautiful! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Got it. Thanks! #buyingunderthelitfluence 8y

BookishMarginalia That's a great buy! This is such a fun book! 8y

misswendyd @hollybally Yesss I was giggling madly as I read it, too! Such a hard thing to pull off, but they did it. 8y

misswendyd @BookishMarginalia I'm so glad they put it on sale so more people will read it! I'm excited about the next two Jane books as well. 8y

misswendyd @Lucky_Ladee Heh. BUT YOU NEED THIS ONE. 8y

misswendyd @BarbaraTheBibliophage @chachic You're welcome! I rarely post twice about a book, but thought that was too good a deal not to share. (And I love it and want more people to love it, too. 😊) 8y

misswendyd @Laura317 Yay! I'm glad you sneaked this one in, too. It's so much fun. What else did you buy? 8y

Laura317 I bought A Man Called Ove and the 2nd illustrated Harry Potter. @misswendyd 8y
