It‘s a little early, but here‘s my #weeklyforecast: I‘d like to finish my two in progress reads and ideally, also finish the 2 digital ARCs that release Tuesday, plus the book for work book club that meets on the 21st. Yeah…I think it‘s funny that I am even pretending that I‘ll get through all of them. 😂😂 #daretodream

A Million Dreams Keep Me Awake: Blank Journal and Movie Quote | Write Run, P. Barnum

#Eurovision2019 Hands down the best singers on the Eurovision stage🙌🏻 The Shalva Band withdrew from the competition when they discovered they would have to discrete the Sabbath. Producers wanted to allow them to have their dream recognized so they granted them a chance to preform last night on the Semifinals. Watch the clip #DareToDream https://youtu.be/EhRewe-uEIw

Cinfhen The Shalva Band is a group of 8 young adults who each have a physical disability but that doesn‘t stop them from preforming and inspiring. 💕💕💕💕💕 (edited) 6y

The Murder House | James Patterson, David Ellis

That moment when you open a birthday present and you can tell it's books yipppppeeeee, but then they end up being James Patterson books. 😩😩😩😩Are either of these worth cracking open? I have only read one JP book but one was enough to make me swear I'd never read another!!! Was I wrong??

Sue Happy birthday!! (He's not my cup of tea either) 9y

Notafraidofwords I never read him, but I worked in the public library for a long time and people loved his work. 9y

Jessicav Same as above. I am a public librarian and more often you'll hear staff refer to his books as "the damn Pattersons" because there are so many and we get them in huge quantities. But you can't argue with circulation? He's doing something right... 9y

erzascarletbookgasm The first two books of his Alex Cross series are ok. Not my bag, either, so didn't pursue further. Some said his earlier books are better than his latter co-authored ones. Happy birthday. 9y

NatalieR I've read a couple of his books and enjoyed them. (None of the series tho.) I'd like to read Murder House. Sounds interesting to me. 9y

GuiltyFeat What kind of friend knows you well enough to buy books but not well enough to buy you James Patterson books? Weird. It's pretty clear the relationship's going nowhere. Dump 'em and move on until you find someone who gets you a Book of the Month subscription. 9y

Carol Agreeing with @GuiltyFeat - so odd to get books that aren't your style from someone who knows you well enough to get you books. That said his books are at least fast (2-3 page chapters, large margins, etc.) so maybe save them for the next readathon? (July) 9y

lilredhen Happy birthday! He's not my fave, but I know lots of people who are gaga about his books. 9y

BestOfFates I sympathize! I've never tried Patterson but I've definitely gotten book gifts and been like...I like so many kinds of books, how did you end up with this?! 9y

Bookgirl HahaHahahaha @GuiltyFeat and @Carol they are from my mother in law. Need I say more? I'm sure JP is all she reads. Not encouraging! 9y

Bookgirl @Jessicav True but lots of people read Nicolas Sparks too. Doesn't make his books good!!! But I'll give one of these a whirl...hard to resist a brand new book! 9y

Bookgirl @Sue @erzascarletbookgasm @lilredhen Thanks!!! @BestOfFates not surprised given the source, people tend to give what they like!! Just more that feeling of...I hope you didn't pay full price for these!! 😂😂 9y

GuiltyFeat Ooh. That's a tricky one. It took me a while but eventually I was able to train my own M-i-L. Start by hinting towards Amazon vouchers and work your way up. Also, lend her something you like so she learns your tastes. Once trained my M-i-L bought me a signed Amy Tan! #daretodream #nevergiveup

The Hundred Secret Senses: A Novel

Carol My MIL always wants an Amazon wish list to buy from, but I totally won the in-law olympics. You could make up a book club reading list for the year and keep it I an obvious location/have your spouse just give it to her 😁 9y

Bookgirl @Carol @GuiltyFeat nice work, both of you!! I'm afraid it's a lost cause over here...my teenager and preteen still get gifts appropriate for preschool age children. I just keep suggesting not to get me anything as that seems best for all lol! 9y

tapgurl Can you return them for credit? 9y

Bookgirl @tapgurl sadly, no. They were mailed. 9y

daf_fields I'm not a huge JP fan (I've read a few), but I really liked Murder House! Did you ever give it a try? 8y
