Aims42 I finally finished it. Would love to hear (or rather see) your thoughts 👍🏻 4y

AceOnRoam @Aims42 you have great Stamina. I'm actually enjoying it, but its wordy! 4y

Aims42 @AceOnRoam it is soooooo wordy! And at times it wasn‘t the easiest book to pick up and keep reading 😬 4y

Cathythoughts Lovely picture! I have this book ordered & I‘m really looking forward to it! It is long though 😳 4y

AceOnRoam @Cathythoughts thanks, it's a beautiful area! This book could have been a couple of hundred pages shorter for sure!!! 4y

Isolation = when you're saving the wine for a special occasion and can't wait that long! Cheers to all of you who don't mind a glass of red with their evening reading.

jb72 Very cool 😎 I can‘t drink wine as it gives me a migraine. I hope you enjoy and have a wonderful evening! 5y

AceOnRoam Thanks @AnneFindsJoy and @jb72 it was an excellent night! 5y

CarolynM I do enjoy a glass of red (or white😉) but I'm trying to keep a limit on it😬 5y

AceOnRoam @CarolynM I will admit I had more than 'a' glass. It is really delicious, a 2017! Good luck with your limits 👍 5y

LapReader Don‘t limit yourself @CarolynM we could all get the virus tomorrow! 5y

CarolynM I hope not @lapreader😱 😱 5y

mklong I need to finish up Last Night in Montreal first, but can‘t wait to get to this one! 5y

Cinfhen Strange days, indeed!!!!! We‘re holding up and doing well. Thanks for asking♥️How about you?? 5y

Simona 👋 Nice to see you 😘 5y

Redwritinghood Hi Ace! I‘ve been so distracted lately. I may have to buy a Kindle copy of this. With the library closed, there is a long waitlist for this via Overdrive. Sigh. 5y

Redwritinghood But our friend Lee has come through on this for me! Just got it on Kindle. 5y

AceOnRoam @ClairesReads @mklong @redwritinghood literally THE author of the year hahaha 😆 5y

AceOnRoam @Cinfhen I am doing ok. I have ups and downs. Thank goodness for books. Take care 😘😘😘 5y

AceOnRoam @Simona hello!! 👋👋👋 hope all is well in you're neck of the woods.😘💖 5y

ClairesReads @Redwritinghood god bless Lee! 5y

AceOnRoam @ClairesReads @Redwritinghood LOVE Lee 😁 5y

Simona Almost the same s..t as everywhere else... Stay safe❣️ 5y

American Dirt | Jeanine Cummins

Ok, I'm going in, come what may. You have to read it yourself if you want to formulate an opinion!

#readingonroam

emilyhaldi I have a feeling this book scandal is going to boost sales! I agree that it's hard to form an opinion without first reading the book myself. 5y

britt_brooke I‘m really enjoying this book so far. I‘d normally avoid the hype for a while, but my IRL book club chose it for February. I‘m glad we did! 5y

AceOnRoam @emilyhaldi the negativity is helping sales I think. I feel sorry for the author but she's got a 7 figure deal so she can't be too upset 😉 5y

AceOnRoam @britt_brooke I'm totally sucked in by the hype. I had soooooo many other books on my next-to-read stack! I'll be interested to see what your book club will think. 5y

Jefferson Asare @AceOnRoam
I am yet to read this myself before i make any comments although the title really gets to me. I hope that i enjoy it eventually. 5y

Lauredhel I can form an opinion on the publishing company's actions without reading the book.
5y

TheBookHippie @Lauredhel I agree. 5y

Rissreads I must be living under a rock! What scandal? I‘ll ask Google........ 5y

AceOnRoam @Rissreads hahaha, it's usually me under the rock! 5y

CarolynM Hi there👋 Just checking in with you. Hope you are ok. How is the current situation affecting your roaming? Sending love and hugs wherever you are💕 5y

AceOnRoam @CarolynM Thanks for asking, so lovely of you. We are kind of stuck in QLD so we are roaming between Brisbane and Moreton Island, which is only about 2 hours sail away, but it is really nice and isolated out there! 5y

CarolynM Good to know🙂 I was having visions of you being turned away from ports with so many borders closed. Take care. 5y

AceOnRoam @CarolynM we all have to wait and see what the new normal looks like in a few months. If we can, we will try to keep circumnavigating through to Cape Town, otherwise we will celebrate our 1/2 globe circumnavigation and hang up our sailing gloves! You take care too! 5y

The Pursuit of William Abbey | CLAIRE. NORTH

When you spend a week spreadsheeting for your 2020 reading plan, then go to the library and grab books that aren't on the plan. Also think I'm going to need more nougat than originally planned as well.

LeahBergen I love that you spent a week spreadsheeting. 😂😂 I‘m about to make myself a personalized bingo card for 2020 reading. 😂😂 #OnlyOnLitsy 5y

AceOnRoam @LeahBergen glad to have so many here who understand and think I'm perfectly sane! Eager to see your bingo card when you're done 😊 5y

BarbaraBB That spreadsheeting is a highlight in my year. And the moment I am finally finished, everything changes 😂 5y

AceOnRoam @Redwritinghood such a great library I could have grabbed 30 more 😂 5y

AceOnRoam @squirrelbrain the never ending reading plan! 5y

AceOnRoam @BarbaraBB I may have to add a new sheet "Absolutely No Self Control Library Book Challenge" ? 5y

BarbaraBB Lol 😂 5y

LeahBergen Happy Birthday, friend! 😘😘 5y

AceOnRoam @LeahBergen aww, thanks so much 😘😍 5y

Liz_M My spreadsheet reading plan is enormous as I include all the possibilities. All 35 France 1001books for Readingeurope2020, for example. 😁 5y

Liz_M And with hundreds of books in my "plan" I still deviate ? 5y

AceOnRoam @Liz_M it's a bit out of control isn't it. I'm overwhelmed with the choices available. 5y

Rissreads I loved Tin man! ❤️ 5y

Rissreads @LeahBergen I‘d love to see your bingo card 😊 5y

The Mere Wife: A Novel | Maria Dahvana Headley

This might be just the book to take me out of my reading slump!

Was going to save it for #ReadHarder2020 but I think I need it more today.

Centique Lovely to see you back on Litsy! 😍 Where are you roaming to at the moment? 5y

AceOnRoam @Centique hello!!! We are in the Coomera River on the Gold Coast, we will be in Queensland for the next few months 😀 5y

BarbaraBB Good to have you here - and reading again. So you‘ve made it to Australia. That was your starting point wasn‘t it? Does that mean you‘re heading home or just passing by? 😘 5y

AceOnRoam @BarbaraBB thank you, happy to be back. Although I am Australian, we actually started our voyage in Cape Town, so yes, we are just passing through. We're seeing friends and family and waiting out the cyclone season here before heading north to Indonesia next year. 5y

BarbaraBB Everyone of your steps sounds incredible. I do envy you! Enjoy 💜 5y

AceOnRoam @BarbaraBB thanks heaps 😘 5y

LeahBergen There you are! So good to see you popping by here again. 😘😘 5y

AceOnRoam @LeahBergen 😘 hello lovely, great to be back with all of these awesome Littens 😍 5y

CarolynM 👋 Nice to see you. I don't know anything about the book. I hope you enjoy it. 5y

saresmoore I really enjoyed this book. It wasn‘t at all what I expected! 5y

AceOnRoam @CarolynM Thanks Carolyn, I'm definitely enjoying it. 5y

AceOnRoam @saresmoore I went in blind with this one, just knew it was a retelling of sorts, of

City of Girls | Elizabeth Gilbert

I have waited so long to see what Elizabeth Gilbert would deliver after the amazing Alma Whittaker.

Fingers crossed for a five star read.

#ReadingOnRoam

Simona 🤞Looking forward to your review! I think that Alma is one of the most comprehensive female characters in literature. 6y

LeahBergen I‘ve missed you on here! 😃 6y

Redwritinghood I preordered it and it was here waiting for me when I got home yesterday. Excited to read it (when I can fit it in!). 6y

Liz_M Wow, that is some cover. 6y

AceOnRoam @Simona yes! I am loving it so far, its heaps of fun. 6y

AceOnRoam @LeahBergen awww, so sweet, I am struggling with my data budget in these here remote places, but will be back in civilisation soon and you will be sick of my posts!!! 😘 6y

AceOnRoam @Redwritinghood its very easy reading so far so you will finish it in no time at all. 6y

AceOnRoam @Liz_M I know right, I love it. It is on my Overdrive loan edition but I hadn't seen it during the marketing campaign so ...Surprise! 6y

AceOnRoam @Simona I haven't written a review, but I found this to be fresh and vibrant and fun. Vivian Morris is no Alma, but I love her too. Strong and independent and unabashed. There is a lot of NYC here, I wish that I had visited some of these places which are a major part of the book. One day!!! 6y

Simona Stacked! 6y

The Wolf and the Watchman | Niklas Natt och Dag

@wanderinglynn I have been hopeless at #bookfitnesschallenge but my goal for the rest of the 3 weeks will be one audio book per week (I have read 2 already but didn't post them).
I am in a wonderful place, anchored in Rangiroa Atoll in the Tuamotu Archipelago. Not walking as much as I would normally but its very very hot here. The wildlife is amazing, this shot I took through a marine viewer (bucket with perspex on the bottom).
