AkashaVampie Undead and Unwed is really good! 4y

ElizaMarie @AkashaVampie I want to say it was one I had voted for in #PLC that didn't make the cut. 4y

AkashaVampie @ElizaMarie I have read a few of them. So they are worth the read. 4y

Liatrek This is one of the rare cases where I liked the movie better than the book. 4y

jb72 The book is pretty good. 4y

jb72 Both of those Shirley Jackson stories are good. 4y

ElizaMarie @jb72 My husband teaches the Lottery in one of his classes and has been trying to get me to read it. It was not that I had refused but the copy he had to lend me was all small and hard to read so I just never got to it. But I need to.

Oh and I found out she settled in Bennington VT (that's where I had lunch yesterday!) 4y

jb72 @ElizaMarie That is super cool. I really want to watch the movie that just came out about her. 4y

ElizaMarie @jb72 Thanks for the link! This is going to come in handy when I start to read it! Also.... I wanted to see that movie about her too just never “got to it“ ... Was it on Hulu? I can't remember. 4y

I don't know if its because of the nature of VT or just me feeling more of a “women power“ thing lately (also its one of the first times in my life that I have true women friends - where we lift each other up) .. Anyway I have felt more tied to being a woman, nature, the moon. Just everything.

jb72 That‘s awesome! 4y

ElizaMarie @jb72 Also I consider you one of these women I am friends with (our little text group is so sweet and I love how we all care about each other) 4y

jb72 @ElizaMarie Our text group is so nice and awesome! And thank you so much! I feel the same. It‘s been hard for me since moving to KY. I‘ve lived here for 4 years and have not made one friend in person. 4y

So this part didn't have as many books to add to my TBR because well.. it had some sci-fy type of books and it is not really my thing. But.. these peaked my interest :)

Half in Shadow - Mary Elizabeth Counselman
Mounstress - Marjorie Liu
The Canal - Everil Worrell
