How to Marry a Werewolf: A Claw & Courship Novella | Gail Carriger

pick

I thoroughly enjoyed this werewolf novella, it‘s hard but some author‘s can manage to pull off redemption stories for even their most cantankerous characters so that you are rooting for them to get their own happily ever after. I would have never thought it if Channing, but I definitely rooted for him in this story.

I‘m way behind in my #ParasolverseReadAlong but as I read the last book this weekend, I‘ll be sorry to see it end.

CaramelLunacy Now I am trying to work out what a subversive petit fours would be... 6y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @CaramelLunacy I know! 6y

CaramelLunacy Something that looks like one thing but tastes like another? Light pink lime macarons? Tiny eclairs made with smoky lapsang souchong tea? 6y

CaramelLunacy @Crinoline_Laphroaig I have made myself hungry...(also wouldn't that be a fun showstopper challenge for the Bake-off?) 6y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @CaramelLunacy Deep Sigh. I really need someone to make me tea and scones. 6y

Sometimes you just feel the need to paint your toes to match your book.
Great 2019 Parasolverse Readalong is moving to Book 2 of the Finishing School.

I'm off chasing this entertaining squirrel. Gail Carriger's writing is a delight! Never thought I'd like steampunk but there you go.

julesG Wanted to ask a few days ago already, are you doing the #parasolversereadalong? 6y

Maria514626 @julesg What is the #parasolversreadalong? I‘m trying to parse the word and I‘m intrigued. 😊 6y

julesG I only found out when @Crinoline_Laphroaig posted about Gail Carriger's big 2019 readalong. https://gailcarriger.com/2018/12/14/the-great-2019-parasolverse-read-along-sched... 6y

Maria514626 @Julesg This looks like fun! Not sure if I can keep up with all of my other books. 😱 Are you doing? (edited) 6y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @julesG Isn't it fun! I finished E & E yesterday. @Maria514626 still plenty of time to jump in. We're right at the 2nd book. You have until Jan 20 to finish Etiquette and Espionage. 1st book is very short story.

The Curious Case of the Werewolf That Wasn't: (to say nothing of the Mummy That Was and the Cat in the Jar)

julesG I'm trying to do it since the books have been on my #MountTBR for ages. Wanted to read E&E tomorrow, or rather start it. @Crinoline_Laphroaig 6y

Anna Karenina | Leon Tolstoi

I've told myself this is the Winter I read Anna Karenina. I've had the Audible version w/ Maggie Gyllenhaal for ages. I have Kindle edition as well so I can switch back and forth. My Goal is to finish by First Day of Spring. Yet to do the math on Chapters/Pages a Week to make that happen. Also need to listen #reecesbookclub choice in January. Going to need lighter fare of #parasolversereadalong for break from serious. #audiokindleandprint 📚

Suet624 Good luck!!! 6y

Insightsintobooks I loved Anna Karenina. Good luck! 6y

WanderingBookaneer I posted this book in my #LiterarySins post. I also have the Gyllenhaal version. I may give it a shot later. Reese‘s January pick is amazing! I borrowed it from the library and ended up buying my own copy. 6y

Floote totally sounds like Carson from Downton Abbey in my head:
“Not your aunt‘s feline, sir. The reports were perfectly correct; no one remembers how to mummify anymore. I found a willing apothecary, but the results were, regrettably...” A delicate pause. “Squishy."
And so begins #parasolversereadalong

kgriffith Well that‘s a readalong I can hardly resist, though I might just do the shorts in between the full-length ones I‘ve already read 😊 I do love her stuff! 6y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @kgriffith Here's the official schedule: https://gailcarriger.com/2018/12/14/the-great-2019-parasolverse-read-along-sched... 6y

kgriffith @Crinoline_Laphroaig Fun, thanks! This is the sort of thing I miss when I take a long twitter break 😬 6y

New Year's Day | Edith Wharton

Does anyone else put an unreasonable amount of thought into what book will be the first you read in the new year? I feel like it sets the tone for the rest of the year.

What are you reading first?

pilardib Probably

The Handmaid's Tale

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks The Air You Breathe for #BotmBuddyRead 📚📚 6y

Naj I'm thinking of starting the new year with The Secret History. I've heard only great things about it and I like books with an academic setting. So, it's a pretty safe choice. 6y

madamereadsalot1 I'm such a moody, unpredictable reader, I have no idea what my first one will be. I can't ever do any reading plans. If I think I HAVE to read something, it never gets read. 😅 6y
