"For centuries in the Orient, love has been an art. So has death." What..the fuq...did we stumble upon here? First of all #overit & people still using the word "oriental" & exoticizing Asians. But what is with this cover? ? #ninjahubby & I couldn't stop laughing, which is what sold it for us. Gonna laugh over this "erotic thriller" so hard. #bookhaul #litsycarnaval Post 9/10

#bookhaul #litsycarnaval #ninjahubby left the sale with some goodies too, including this bundle of D&D campaign materials and ideas. There were some there even came with completed character sheets in case you're just that unimaginative. Post 8/10

#bookhaul #litsycarnaval I almost didn't buy this, but then #ninjahubby encouraged/enabled me. It's only Vol. 1 of a 12 volume set, but it's so tiny & the copyright is 1885! Post 7/10

TrishB Wow! Looks fab. 8y

Watching Chamber of Secrets with my Kid. We just finished reading this one and it happened to be on tv.
He said "They left out the ghost part."
I said "yeah I know."
He looked at me with disgust on his face
I then said "The book is always better"
He said "I know"
The lessons our kids should learn early: the book is always better! ????

beaniebankbeth @TheNextBook Not to sound creepy, but I noticed the Freeform logo in the corner of the screen & immediately turned to that channel on my tv. 😂🤓☇ 8y
TheNextBook @beaniebankbeth 😂😂😂😂 8y
beaniebankbeth @TheNextBook whole family, including our Gryffindog is now watching. We came in on the Great Hall scene where Hermione explains about Polyjuice Potion. 😀 8y

TheNextBook The Kid just said "what about when they threw the fireworks?" @beaniebankbeth I said "They skipped that part too" ? He is so mad! (edited) 8y
Megabooks 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 8y
beaniebankbeth @TheNextBook Harry touches Hermione's hand in the infirmary when she's petrified & #ninjahubby brings up the one thing I could never see eye to eye with him on: "Look, right there! Harry/ Hermione forever! " I may have playfully kicked him in the head for that. Team Granger-Weasley all the way! 8y
beaniebankbeth @TheNextBook It's been so long since I reread the whole series. 8y
ReadingSusan Love it! 8y
TheNextBook @beaniebankbeth yeah I am not at all here for the Hermione/Harry story. I've never felt any kind of attraction between those two. That part didnt happen in the books! You should reread with me in the new year! 8y
TheNextBook @ReadingSusan he is being such a book snob and I am finding it so hilarious. He is in bed now 8y
beaniebankbeth @TheNextBook Are you doing the chapter a day challenge? I'm so tempted to do it. I may just have to. It's rare that I reread anything unless I'm teaching it. 8y
TheNextBook @beaniebankbeth I've thought about it and I'm not. I love rereading the series in January and doing a chapter a day and trying to relate it to a theme is a bit much for me. I also know that I'm not reading Cursed Child again so that stops that right in its tracks! 😂 8y

Talk about a #secretsantagoespostal who knows me! Thank you @Melli ! I'm going to take a couple more photos later to show just how fitting these gifts are for me, but wanted to thank you & let you know that your package made my day. I did stay up last night but was cranky for it & decided to open it today. Then, I couldn't decide on opening it before or after work. I unwrapped all my goodies this morning & it's put a smile on my face all day!

Melli I just realized I forgot to weave in the ends of the yarn. Lol kinda embarrassing.. But that's ok you can either snip them or weave them in. I'm sorry about that, with kids sometimes things slip my mind. On another note I am so glad you like your gifts, I was nervous about android karina. I'm glad that it made you smile. 😊 I actually also have the book so if you ever wanna buddy read it. Let me know (edited) 8y
beaniebankbeth @Melli Don't worry about it. That made me so happy that you knit & crocheted me stuff. Are you on Ravelry? Want to be friends on Ravelry? I knit & crochet too. 🐑😊 8y
Melli @beaniebankbeth I am on ravelry I'm melli80 8y

beaniebankbeth @Melli I need to read the original Tolstoy first & I think I'm going to either do an audio book or @SerialReader subscription of that first. I have a bunch of books in this sub-genre, including "Pride &Prejudice & Zombies" & "Little Women & Werewolves," it'll be in good company on my book shelf. 8y
beaniebankbeth @Melli And hp for my class is PERFECT. ?☇I already have several Potter things going on in my room, like sorting the kids into groups & homework passes that say "Expelliarmus!" Also, the first convo my #ninjahubby & I ever had was about hp, so this book choice could not be better 8y
beaniebankbeth @Melli And you're in the Philly area too?! 😲😄 We should meet up! ...after the hustle & bustle of the holidays, though. 8y
Melli I would like that very much i know ur in jersey but I don't drive long distances since I just got my license not that long ago but we can definitely meet up in center city 8y
Melli I knew you were a HP fan and so my thought was why not share it with your class. I wasn't sure what grade you taught but you said middle school so I figured it would be ok. Plus whenever I can give book for a students class library I will gladly do so. I have donated many books to my girls school library when they moved buildings and finally had a real library.can you believe I just now started reading the series. I'm on book 3. 8y

BAD GIRL, BIANCA! Bad girl! 😭 Not the original paperback I bought long ago at the book fair, but a cherished hardcover copy nonetheless. #ninjahubby was sad to hear about it & is on his way home with pizza for comfort. He says we can use what's left for bookish crafts. 💖 Love that Hufflepuff husband of mine who knows how to cheer up his Ravenclaw gal.

JPeterson Oh no! 😭 At least there will be comfort pizza soon, and a new life for the book with a bookish craft. 8y
TheNextBook I would have lost my mind! This breaks my heart! 8y
beaniebankbeth @TheNextBook I know. This is what happens with a Gryffindog. I thought I had put it behind me this morning & then when I brought up my dog during class as a quick aside, I told my class about the episode & how I was still upset with the fluff monster. Woo! At least I always keep it interesting. 8y

Hey, Littens. I need a little advice & reading support. I've been reading "Stiff" for #nonfictionnov, but have recently felt rather conflicted about it right now because of life atm. It is a great book. But, a couple days ago, #ninjahubby's grandma passed. I want to read & then once I get a few pages in, I get uneasy & put it down. Have you ever been there, where you want to read a book but you're not in the right place to read it right then?

DeeLew Oh yes, I have been there. It's probably best to set it aside for now. So sorry for your loss. Hugs! 💓 8y
TrishB Absolutely. Not the the right time sometimes. Hugs to you ❤ 8y
KarenUK Agree... if it's just not right for now, that's ok... set it aside... sending hugs, so sorry for your loss 💕 8y

Reviewsbylola Definitely put it aside if you need to. 8y
megt Definitely been there before. Don't push yourself if it's not feeling like the right time. Hugs to you and your family. 8y
BeththeBookDragon She's got lots of other books to try if you'd like the humor with a different tooic 8y
Graciouswarriorprincess Hugs and prayers! Go back to it when you are ready! 8y
DebinHawaii So sorry about your loss. I lost my mom about a year and a half ago and there are a lot of great books that I want to read but I have passed on and have to avoid as they make me too sad, so I totally get it. My feeling is that the books will be waiting when we are ready to read them. Hugs.❤️ 8y
beaniebankbeth Thanks everyone for your support. I love the Litsy community for this very reason. I didn't know the deceased as well as I wanted to, owing to Alzheimer's on top of a language barrier. However, she was and will always be a force of love in our family. 8y

That moment when you're on that #gradinggrind since grades are due tomorrow & you're one of the #teachersoflitsy but you then go to check out the @LitsyFeministBookClub pick for next month & end up making friends with the librarian over a conversation on crafting & your multi-racial families, since she's noticed you bringing #ninjahubby around. 😂 💞 Love my town & my LIBRARY!!!

BookishFeminist Yesssssss 8y
TheNextBook I'm waiting to get mine! And that is awesome! 8y
beaniebankbeth @TheNextBook I was thinking of you and your lovely family. 💞 8y
TheNextBook ❤️❤️❤️❤️ How are you?! I feel like when grades are due everythinh stops. I'm glad you're getting some you time. 8y
beaniebankbeth Hi @TheNextBook ! 🤗 I'm good, especially after hearing from you! I often go to the library when I need to get work done quick without the distractions of home, like a fluffy dog that wants to play ball and, well, books. Grading does bring things to a halt at times, but I'm seeing daylight out of my pile of papers. How are you? 8y
