iDoIDoIDoIDoIDo

so-so

#IDoIDoIDoIDoIDo have had a good time with this thriller, it is a real pageturner, but there were no surprises or unexpected twists in the book so now, having finished it, I feel a bit disappointed.

BarbaraBB @Andrew65 Don‘t be, I had a really good time reading it! 6y

Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith | Jon Krakauer

so-so

Wow is this book thorough! It explores the roots and history of Mormonism including the concept of Polygamy and it‘s repercussions. Joseph Smith wasn‘t originally supportive of plural marriage until God spoke to him one day and gave him that direction... after that he was all #IdoIdoIdoIdoIdo 👰🏼 👰🏼👰🏼 And later, god spoke to the Lafferty brothers and directed them to murder 🔪 was it lunacy, or just religion??

Reviewsbylola This definitely is probably too thorough for me. 6y

Meredith3 I like the sound of this book! Murder and polygamy? What else do you really need? 6y

emilyhaldi @Reviewsbylola @Meredith3 the premise is great but it's SO DENSE that by the end you're like "can we just talk about the murder already?!" 6y

Meredith3 @emilyhaldi oooh eeek yeah that‘s a little off putting 6y

Mdargusch I agree @Meredith3 6y

britt_brooke I enjoyed the explanation of the LDS and FLDS history more that the true crime aspect of this one, but can definitely see what you mean by it being dense/thorough. 6y

BarbaraBB Are you done now with the books on Mormonism or do you have the next one ready to start 😉?! 6y

Cinfhen So it was a little dry!?! Would u recommend?? 6y

emilyhaldi Lol @BarbaraBB I have to get on @britt_brooke rec's fast!! @Cinfhen I'm pretty sure it would bore you ... Def a #borrownotbuy 6y

Cinfhen I‘ve removed from my #TBR 6y

Cathythoughts Interesting! I did like The 19th Wife. But won‘t be rushing to read this one 👍🏻 6y

Reggie Your use of idoidoido made me chuckle. 6y

emilyhaldi Thanks @Reggie I thought I was pretty funny too 😂😂 6y

Second World War | John Keegan

I‘m in #heaven. When the auctioneer asked “does anyone have $22.50” for ELEVEN boxes of WWII/military history books I said #idoidoidoidoido and then I got these footlockers for $20 each! I‘m sorting out my haul and will take photos of some stacks later. There are some excellent books, some super old books, and a box I‘m referring to as the “Fox News” box that will go to Goodwill. #augustisatrip #abbainaugust

Uncle Peter's Amazing Chinese Wedding | Lenore Look

pick

#AbbaInAugust Day 5: Uncle Peter‘s special niece is grieving since he will soon say #IDoIDoIDoIDoIDo - a huge Chinese wedding with all the dragons and birdseed, red fabric and hungbao, family speeches and fertility soups. The narrative is exquisitely lyrical – neither maudlin nor simpering, it describes a little girl‘s emotions with such raw clarity - one of my faves. My full review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-5PV

Mdargusch I love the illustrations! 6y

Cinfhen Adorable ❤️❤️❤️ 6y
