Bitter Orange | Claire Fuller

Started @emilyhaldi ‘s pick for the previous round of #darguschfamilymarkupbookclub. Somehow we have two rounds going on simultaneously. 😅

And I broke out one of my very favorite bath bombs to start off the weekend. Lush‘s Turmeric Latte.

#bathandbook

LeahBergen I have this waiting on my shelves so I‘ll be interested to see what you think. And what the HELL is a cheese mask like?? 😆😆 4y

Soubhiville Cheese mask? Sounds weird... Was it relaxing? (edited) 4y

BarbaraBB A cheese mask? That sounds horrible to be honest but then I don‘t like cheese and hate its smell so that might be part of my aversion 🤣 4y

Kalalalatja I‘m with the others, please explain that cheese mask 😅 4y

Simona I‘m curious about cheese mask too🧐 4y

emilyhaldi Loving these comments 🧀🧀🧀 curious to see what you think of this one 😅 4y

Reviewsbylola Ok, so I got the cheese mask in one of my monthly sheet mask subs. I do Beauteque and Facetory and I can‘t remember which one it was in. But it was an amazing texture, with the serum being a little thicker and viscous. I realize that doesn‘t sound extremely appealing but trust me, it felt great. And thankfully it didn‘t smell of cheese. 😅 @LeahBergen @Soubhiville @BarbaraBB @Kalalalatja @Simona @emilyhaldi 4y

Soubhiville 🤣 the smell was my concern. I‘m glad you liked it. 4y

LeahBergen @Soubhiville That was my concern, too 😆 4y

The Amateur Marriage | Anne Tyler

Going to make sure to start the morning off right as we finish out our last few days in quarantine.

This is my pick for the new edition of #darguschfamilymarkupbookclub. I‘m loving it—Tyler really captures the nuances of marriage. Hope my family agrees!

Cinfhen Yay! So happy your family markup bookclub is still going on 💜🙌🏻 4y

Reviewsbylola Our most recent segment took almost two years but it‘s still chugging along. 😂 @Cinfhen I think The Liar almost killed most of us. (edited) 4y

Cinfhen Oh , that book was PAINFUL 😖 SO BAD 4y

Ruthiella Of the four Anne Tyler novels I have read, this one is my favorite. 😀 4y

Reviewsbylola I‘ve always meant to read her books but this is my first! @Ruthiella 4y

The Liar | Ayelet Gundar-Goshen

Got to page 90 before I had to admit this book is not very good 😝That‘s my second bail of the day😳

rockpools Wow! You‘ll be claiming @shawnmooney ‘s title at this rate 😉. Hope the next one sticks. 5y

TrishB But making me laugh 😂 which is good! 5y

shawnmooney I bailed in the first chapter on her first book. :-) 😍 5y

keithmalek The description uses the term "alternate facts." It shouldn't. It legitimizes the term. 5y

Cinfhen Hi 👋 @shawnmooney I really LOVED her book Waking Lions so I had high hopes for this book...but it truly sucked 😜what‘s new with you and your lovely guy??? Hope you‘re both well xxx 5y

Cinfhen I‘m just pleased and shocked I made it as far as page 90 @RachelO @TrishB @keithmalek I‘m wondering if because the book was written in Hebrew originally the wording/ translation played a part in my bailing...it was awkward. Same complaint I had with my earlier bail ....

Celestial Bodies

TrishB Some translations can be so clunky they ruin the read. 5y

Reviewsbylola Omg Cindy I‘m reading this now for #darguschfamilymarkupbookclub and it is AWFUL. I am so pissed I can‘t bail. The author uses similes at about 100x the rate she should. 5y

Cinfhen I feel for you... it was SO BAD!!! SO SO BAD / who chose it @Reviewsbylola ???? What a waste of your reading time 😖 5y

Reviewsbylola It is Anne‘s pick and I‘m desperately hoping she doesn‘t read my comments in the book because I can‘t hold back. @emilyhaldi is up next and I‘ve already warned her. 😂 5y

emilyhaldi Dreading this 😑 @Reviewsbylola @Cinfhen 5y

emilyhaldi Ok reading this now... Coincidentally just made it to page 90. Cindy- HOW did you make it that far before bailing?! 😆 I have wanted to bail every page that I‘ve read so far- it‘s pure torture 😝 @Reviewsbylola @Cinfhen 4y

Cinfhen It‘s SOOOOOOO bad!!!!! I kept thinking it might improve @emilyhaldi and I really liked her first book a lot

Waking Lions

Reviewsbylola It‘s literally one of the worst books I‘ve ever finished. 4y

Bitter Orange | Claire Fuller

so-so

This mystery leaves a little something to be desired... And is atleast 50 pages too long. But it did make for a fun mark-up bookclub read! I enjoyed being able to express my annoyance with these characters right there on the page 😝📝 Passing on to @Mdargusch to read next 🤗

Picnic at Hanging Rock | Joan Lindsay

I‘ve got a sick kid today (nothing serious, slight fever from ear infection) and she is very concerned that I‘m writing in my book. 😆 I realized quite quickly that I had to explain that usually it‘s NOT ok to write in books. Especially library or school books. And to always ask mom first if you need to write in a book. She seems accepting of this. 🤞🏻 #darguschfamilymarkupbookclub

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Awww I hope she feel better 💕💕 5y

Cinfhen Awww! What a sweet thing. Hope she doesn‘t rat you out to G 😜what are your thoughts about Picnic? I feel a little anxious as I think I suggested it for your markup😬 5y

Reviewsbylola She claims to feel fine and was begging to go to the mall earlier. 🤦🏼‍♀️😆 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 5y

Cinfhen Oh good!!! And tell Flo, I think a trip to the mall is an excellent idea 😘 5y

kellyann28 I am nervous about my 4 year old doing the same thing while I'm doing my LMPBC! 5y

Reviewsbylola This particular child is known to draw on everything. Herself, furniture, etc. so I was extra worried. I‘m not sure my other child would ever consider NOT drawing on paper. 😆 @kellyann28 5y

emilyhaldi Love that mischievous little one 😛 5y

CarolynM 😂 Adorable! Glad to hear she's feeling better. 5y

Picnic at Hanging Rock | Joan Lindsay

This is my pick for our next round of #darguschfamilymarkupbookclub and I‘m planning on starting it ASAP. A group of girls goes on a picnic in 1900 and not all of them returned. Did they die? Were they murdered? #howiwoulddie #soaringscores

Cinfhen, CrowCAH

CrowCAH Hmm sounds mysterious for sure! 5y

Cinfhen I‘m hoping it‘s a hit for you all!!! 🤞🏽🤞🏽 5y

Fire in the Thatch | E.C.R. Lorac

pick

This is a fun little mystery written in 1946. So many suspicious characters and odd occurrences that I never figured out the murderer. Think Agatha Christy in the English countryside. Hopefully my family members will enjoy this next installment in our #darguschfamilymarkupbookclub. We missed our flight to London to see @AnnieD so drinking and reading is taking away a little of the pain.

Reviewsbylola, emilyhaldi, Meredith3

emilyhaldi I‘m curious to see if the 🍷 affected the nature / quantity of your marginalia 😆 5y

LeahBergen Oh no! How long do you have to wait for the next flight? 5y

Reviewsbylola Totes jelly. 5y

Reviewsbylola Of your trip, not your missed flight. 😜 5y

Mdargusch You‘re not at all interested in seeing why there are so many Amish books being published? @Reviewsbylola 5y

Reviewsbylola The cover alone tells me that book is not for me. 🤣🤣 5y

emilyhaldi I‘m voting Moon Tiger 🤣 bet @Meredith3 would be down for the Amish option!! 5y

Meredith3 @emilyhaldi is right! They all seem good to me tho ✨🤠 5y

BarbaraBB I loved Moon Tiger but I am fascinated by Amish too (since I met so many on my recent trip across the US). 5y
