A Court of Frost and Starlight | Sarah J. Maas

#LittensLoveACOTAR #ACOTAR #ACOFAS Book 4: Ch. 25-27: I think Feyre‘s plan to use art as therapy is a great idea and I‘m glad she got help from Ressina. I like that she‘s making future plans and is working towards things she wants. Maybe she should drag Nesta in there. Lord knows she needs some therapy.

OriginalCyn620 Art therapy is a great idea! And it‘s great that Feyre is using her position to help people. 14h

vonnie862 I listened to the audio, and there were only 30 mins left of the book, so I went all in. I know, daring. 7h

How to Turn Into a Bird | Mar�a Jos� Ferrada

I‘m very excited that @AardvarkBookClub chose some literature-in-translation, so I had to jump on that! (Plus it works for #ReadingTheAmericas23 #Chile. 🤩🇨🇱) Turns out I had fomo about Factory Girls after all. What‘s everyone else thinking? #aardvark

vlwelser This one you picked looks good but I think I'm either going with The New Life or Desert Creatures. 2y

Megabooks @vlwelser Both of those looked good to me too, especially Desert Creatures, but I think I‘m going to wait on some reviews before I jump on either. 2y

Megabooks @vlwelser I just saw TNL has 4.2⭐️ after 10 reviews, which is pretty good. Very interested to see what litsy thinks! 2y

vlwelser I might stew about it for a day before I pick. I do have an extra credit but I prefer to just pick 1. That one you picked is also still in the running. I love translated fiction. Because who would bother translating it if it's crap, right? Not to be overly blunt about it or anything. 2y

Megabooks @vlwelser that is so true re: translation. Lately, I‘ve been trying to pick one of the current month and then maybe one from a past month that has had positive reviews here or the storygraph. December/January are big acquisition months for me, and I should probably have not picked an extra one here or BOTM, but I did. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ #noselfcontrol 😂 2y

Alright, y‘all, tell me what your addictions are?? Your guilty pleasure, if you will. I know we all share that common addiction of books and reading. What others do you have?? Mine, or one of them, is ice cream!! I like to think that I eat pretty healthy. But every single Friday is ice cream Friday and I get to devour one of these beauties 🤤🤤🤤 yes, this entire shelf is full of pints!

KateReadsYA Wow. Same! My favorite treat is ice cream. Especially Ben and Jerry's Americone Dream!!!! Mmmm 3y

Sleepswithbooks I admire that you can keep an entire shelf of those. My greedy gremlin self would do a breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and snack Saturday Splurge if they were all in my apartment at once. #noselfcontrol #doublechinsfordays #happyheifer #nomnomnom 3y

Friday‘s op shop scores for $10. I went down the street to buy something at a normal shop but I couldn‘t resist visiting the op shop while there. #noselfcontrol #ozzieauthors

This Is My America | Kim Johnson

pick

Oh my goodness, I would give anything to be a high school teacher to plan lessons. This book would create the best conversations among young people: Black history, community prejudice and passivity, corrupt prosecution, and so much more. I would love to encourage/mentor a teenager to be a leader in the community by giving workshops to save lives. Workshops shouldn't be needed, but they are in this world. #TeachersofLitsy #YABuddyRead @megnews

FashionableObserver So crazy: I just came across that book while looking for a new one for my son. I think it is a bit advanced for him, but I‘m going to buy it for myself! 4y

Butterfinger @FashionableObserver minimal foul language unlike Angie Thomas (I still love her though), but it does go over cruel things that humans should not do to one another. I understand what you are saying. That is the main reason why I am waiting a few more years to take my 10 year old to the Civil Rights museum or the Holocaust Museum. I'm not ready for her to know about inhuman acts. I teach her, but not showed her the ugliness. Am I making sense? 4y

Scochrane26 @Butterfinger I went to the Civil Rights museum with a group of middle schoolers. I think they learned a lot but not sure they took enough time with it. Totally understand wanting to keep a child‘s innocence. 4y

Butterfinger @Scochrane26 yeah I will take her in a few more years. I think we had this discussion already or I just experienced deja vu. 🙂 4y

FashionableObserver @Butterfinger, I feel the same way about the museums! 2020 was enough of a lesson in how inhumane we can be. He needs to know—for survival‘s sake—but...baby steps. He turns 10 next month. Maybe we‘ll start with the museums next year... 4y

Butterfinger @FashionableObserver you are absolutely right. I am so sorry that survival has to be your priority; I wasn't thinking. Our children are the same age. Your need to protect is much stronger than mine and I am so sorry for that. Please remember to tag me when you finish this book. I want to know your opinion. 4y

FashionableObserver @Butterfinger You are so sweet! I appreciate that. But no apologies needed! I will definitely tag you when I finish it. My TBR stack is shameful right now. And I just keep adding to it! 🤦🏾‍♀️😂 #NoSelfControl 4y

Five Little Indians: A Novel | Michelle Good

So I go to the bookstore to get the book I ordered. Just the one. But there's someone being waited on. So like the good customer I am, I distance myself....to the $20 wall...of new releases. At this price I get one. Just one. Get to the cash and find out I have Plum Points to redeem. Which makes my book cheaper. Which justifies a second book.

It would be a crime against myself if I didn't, right?

#NewBookDay #NoSelfControl #ItCouldBeDrugs

Hooked_on_books It would be a total crime! Why would you want to hurt yourself that way? You did the right thing. 😉 4y

MsMelissa I mean, I would totally have done the same thing 😉. I can‘t wait to go to the bookstore again! Our stay at home order lifts on Tues and non-essential stores will be able to open once again. Indigo here I come! 4y

Tera66 I mean...you couldn't afford not to! 4y

angel1 Great choices!! The Burning Girls is so good!!!😱 4y

Telling Tales | Ann Cleeves

After spending 4-5 hours redoing my bookcases last weekend, I had a few books to take to the used bookstore for credit. Naturally, I used all of my credit in one trip, even though I have NO space on my shelves for new books. #bookhaul #sorrynotsorry #noselfcontrol #ilovevera

ValerieAndBooks That Vidocq book looks interesting! 6y

Tove_Reads Ann Cleeves and Peter May 👍🏽 Would have been against the law to leave them there! 6y

The Testaments | Margaret Atwood

I re-read The Handmaid‘s Tale this month to prepare for this highly anticipated sequel. I should turn the light off to sleep, but I‘m going to read a few pages first.

Lcsmcat I did that last night. For about 120 pages . . . #noselfcontrol 6y

krismlars @Lcsmcat I was good and only read 14 pages😄 6y

MeatPiie I‘m currently REALLY tempted to buy the book, but I will wait for a while before attacking it! 😱 6y

This was a very fun if somewhat predictable YA novel about seafaring girls seeking revenge. I have obviously already put the sequel on pre-order
