Looking forward to #OutstandingOctober readathon! The weather has been fabulous the past 2 weeks in the Inland NW of USA so little time spent reading and little time w/ decent cell or internet. Need to catch up on #Scarathlon for #TeamBOOklovers! Need to read tagged—I‘m sucked in just 10 pages in! Want to finish Don‘t Fear the Reaper, Silver Nitrate and Beware the Woman. Weather is changing, time@for some cozy reading. @Andrew65

Today is National Book Lovers Day. For those like me who still can't see any images when using the Litsy app, the prompt is to open a book, turn to a random page, and share a sentence.

#wondrouswednesday @Eggs Love this prompt for #darklitsy! Thanks for the tag @The_Penniless_Author
so-soOn the one hand, the illustrations - using a mixed media approach of paintings and puppetry - are amazing. But, unless the reader is very familiar with Frida Kahlo, the brief phrases as the text will not necessarily make sense. I liked the incorporation of English and Spanish with the text, though. #PictureBook #BBRC #LetterV
so-soI read this a month ago for book club and I keep forgetting to post about it! There were moments in which I connected with this but I felt the most interesting part of the novel was the “lacuna”, the part that was left out.
My least favorite of Kingsolver‘s that I‘ve read and doesn‘t hold a candle to Demon Copperhead. Frieda Kahlo is an interesting secondary character, and I did like the setting but I cannot recommend this one.
I only saw Frida Kahlo once. #FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl
pickI loved the colors of the illustrations in this one and the way the narration about Kahlo‘s animals matched the descriptions of her. There are brief topics discussed about her life, but the book focuses mainly on her animals and how they helped her and were incorporated into her art. A fun read! #BBRC #PictureBook #LetterF
bailedI couldn‘t do it @Kshakal 😂 I kept trying to pick it back up, to get at least 35% in before bailing but I just had no interest in forcing myself through that. After doing a quick search online, I saw quite a few people felt this book was missing something and didn‘t feel as bad bailing. It just feels too disjointed and apathetic for me.
Welcome to the time of year where all my photos will be taken on my very messy balcony. My SO picked my next #blindbook and it‘s a reread of The Lacuna. I read this book about 4 years ago and just remember being confused for most of it. After reading the first 30 pages, I can see why. Going to try to be intentional with slow reading this time to try to cancel some of that
