#dayfour

Tuesday was traveling day from Gettysburg to D.C. One of our last stops was the Jenny Wade House, where we made our last book purchase in Gettysburg. Ironically, despite being called the Jenny Wade House, Jenny didn‘t actually live here. She was helping to take care of her sister when she was killed by a Confederate bullet. #vacationshopping #bookhaul #jennywade #dayfour #shopone

Local Girl Anna Daniels who is well known in national radio and TV circles released her debut novel, which is set in our town of Rockhampton. I confess I have not read it yet. She cites her all time favorite book as Looking For Alibrandi. @ErinSueG @WhiskeyMistress

#crimesagainstcovers #photochallenge #dayfour. So this is from when we cleaned out my Nana's house after she passed away. She had a first edition 'Just So Stories' by Rudyard Kipling which originally was her fathers - it had no cover, ripped and missing pages and was extremely delicate, my brother tossed it not realising I wanted it. @ErinSueG

Day four - number in the title. I've read a fair amount of YA fantasy, so when a book makes me gasp out loud, you know it's done something special. #readingwomenmonth #readingwomenchallenge #dayfour

The Expanse is my new favorite series. Both the show and the books are phenomenal. Unfortunately Syfy has decided to cancel the show after season 3, which is fantastically stupid, but what can you do? Hopefully, Netflix or Amazon will pick it up and run with it. If not, at least we have the books.

Cinfhen Not familiar with either TV series or books...will need to check it out💕thanks for sharing your new faves with me 😊 6y
CaitlinR James Corey is great! 6y
Decalino Oh, no! I hadn't heard it was canceled. Such a great show! I really need to read the books. ☺ 6y
RadicalReader @Traci1 the ones without books need a book in their possession stat!! 6y

#backtoreading #AnditsAugust #audiobookstogo #dayfour

I have only listened to two novels on audio - these two. We road tripped when our boys were young, from Brisbane to Cairns (which is a loong way), and we loved hearing the full cast version of #northernlights. I bought Dirt Music when I travelled 45 minutes each day to and from work for several years, but I mustn't have fallen in love 😍 with the experience because I never got another one.

Missusb Con't This was back in the day when there were actual CDs to play in the car stereo... 7y

inkcrush I've enjoyed audiobooks a lot in the last year - I just download them from Brisbane overdrive/BorrowBox and enjoy them while out walking. I do give up on at least half though, but the half I don't I really enjoy! 7y

#hpchapteraday #dayfour #chapterfour #generosity Hagrid is the embodiment of generosity. He is the first person to treat Harry like someone special, bringing him a birthday cake and telling him about his true life. This is only the beginning of Hagrid's kindness and generosity towards Harry. Love him! 💙💙💙

Bookscatsandcountry Hogwarts wouldn't be the same without Hagrid 🙂 7y

Dear Mr. Henshaw | Beverly Cleary
post image

I admit it. I totally fail as an English teacher. I had to look up the word #Epistolary 😳 for #JanuaryReads #DayFour
After I looked up the definition, my first thought went to Bram Stoker's Dracula, but then I remembered one of my favorite books from my childhood (and resulted in my writing several fan letters to favorite authors): Dear Mr. Henshaw. You can never go wrong with Beverly Cleary.
