Trying to catch up on all my #NFNov reviews before the frenzy of #WinterGames tomorrow!

I adore Fry, and his audiobooks are delightful, so this was just as expected. :)

This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life | David Foster Wallace

Read for a book club.
Did not like it. At all.
This book is a huge waste of paper.
And it‘s a huge cliche we all already know.

Also the author is a bit of a abusive asshole.
Look up him and Mary Karr.
Hard pass.

Give a man a chance to act honorably, without manipulation, and he usually will. #quotsynov17 #cliche

Still catching up!

Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover | Denise Fleck

Okay, now I'm officially caught up and promise to stop filling your feed with quotes. You can imagine why I picked this one for #cliche. Alternate version is "Don't judge a book by its cover." But we never do that, right?

LibrarianRyan I too have been playing catchup. I understand. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @LibrarianRyan We're not alone! 👏🏻👏🏻 7y

melrailey Oh I️ totally judge books by their covers. I️ can‘t tell you how many times I️ bought a book without even reading the back because the cover was pretty. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @melrailey Me too! I have to force myself to read the blurb. 7y

rubyslippersreads Don't they design book covers these days so you WILL judge (and hopefully buy)? It's pretty easy to tell a thriller or YA or Christian fiction or lots of other genres from the cover art. 7y

Kodak2057 One of the popsugar prompts for the 2018 reading challenge is to read a book with an ugly cover 😂 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @rubyslippersreads They sure do - as a former marketing professional, I can guarantee you that. I always love the YA covers, but not the books. Gotta watch myself! 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Kodak2057 I noticed that! I'm considering doing @popsugar2018 instead of some other challenges, just for a change next year. 7y

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."?

"Mischief managed."?

Gezemice That is so obvious that it is #cliche for this prompt. 😉 That does not mean that it is not the awesomest quote, ever. 👍👍👍❤❤ (edited) 7y

Once Upon a Road Trip | Angela N. Blount

I‘ve never read this book, and honestly, it doesn‘t really sound up my alley, but I ran across this quote on Goodreads and I kind of liked it. So I chose it for the #cliche prompt for #quotsynov17. #quotsy @TK-421

Jane Austen at Home | Lucy Worsley

“Jane‘s claim that her books were her children is cliche of cliches for the childless lady-writer...”

A little late for a #cliche quote, but just stumbled upon this this morning. #quotsynov17
