Which Witch is Which? | Judi Barrett

I‘m not doing any swaps this year, but I‘ve enjoyed seeing everyone‘s fall aesthetic/ #basicwitch collages. This is just a portion of the types of Halloween aesthetic I like.

Rosenthal finds the beauty in the mundane & reminds us to cherish each moment. The book is even more poignant when you find out she died. I loved the interactive elements. You can text a phone number & vote in surveys & receive audio clips. I've never felt so connected to a community of readers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Just look at us, all of us, quietly doing our thing & trying to matter. The earnestness is inspiring & heartbreaking at the same time.”

Megabooks Looks like a great spot!! 😁👍🏻 3y

BkClubCare Oh! This book. Had to go read my review which was only a few paragraphs in a monthly post and thank you! That post showcased some FABULOUS books I read (Oct 2017). I am so glad I blog abt books so I can read those past thoughts and because I have had the chance to connect with wonderful people like you. Hugs 🤗 3y

AvidReader25 @BkClubCare Yes! I love how books connect us no matter where we are! 😊 3y

bailed

I didn‘t really love Textbook Amy Krouse Rosenthal, most likely because it was a novel inverse or because it was mature and for adults. The book was pretty confusing, but there were some subjects and topics the author said that were relatable and funny. I think when I‘m older I‘ll try reading it again and maybe then I‘ll understand more of the book.

Cfischbuch It‘s okay to bail, and to recognize when a book isn‘t what you were looking for. Have a look at your to read list, or ask friends who have been known to give good recommendations. Good luck with your next pick. 4y

This book was sweet, quick, interactive and brought tears to my eyes. I loved the parts prompting a text, that brought me to a video or sound clip, to curate a feeling the author was intending. It is obvious she was a beautiful loving soul who wanted everyone to live a spirit-lifting, lovely life.

I can‘t bear to rip out the page, so I‘m sending to all of you who happen to read this!

caffeinated.wayfarer I found Hilary Clinton‘s book “what happened” in a book exchange in Fiji and the OG owner wrote a paragraph and then asked the next person to do so and so on. I left it in a little free library & chose no to include my email. I sometimes wonder where it ended up. 4y

Cosmos_Moon_River @caffeinated.wayfarer interesting! It would be neat to see what is written in that book now. I just realized Amy Krause Rosenthal died in March 2017, only 51 years old 😢 4y

Just starting this #bookspin... looks like it will be quite a different reading experience!

i.besteph Looks interesting. Stacked! :) 4y

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Oooh! Color me intrigued! 😍 4y

Cosmos_Moon_River @AnotherMissBennet @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I just found out the author died in March 2017 at only 51 from ovarian cancer. The text messages are automated back with links, but on the website it has another number to text for a personal message. I feel bad I text for a personal message. Also, the link doesn‘t always go to the right place. Had to search to find the referenced sounds. This one has sounds for chapters https://www.textbookamykr.com 4y

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Oh no, that‘s sad to hear. 💔 Was this her only work? 4y

Cosmos_Moon_River @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm no. She has published more than 30 children‘s books, made short films and was a contributor on Chicago‘s NPR. Her other memoir is

Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life

i.besteph @Cosmos_Moon oh no, that‘s really unfortunate to hear. I hope her books will help her live on forever in her readers hearts. What a tragedy! 💔😔 4y
