I Was A Teenage Slasher | Stephen Graham Jones
post image
Mehso-so

Unpopular opinion. I wanted to like this book. I was so excited to read it when I received it in my #Staycation package but definitely it didn‘t work for me😬So repetitive, how many times he said was a slasher? That he shouldn‘t go to that party? and if you forget, it happened in 1989, this was mentioned over and over. So many unnecessary details🙄 rambling story🤦🏽‍♀️I almost DNF. I should sympathize with the character? I was bored 2⭐️

Where to start? My #staycation is starting out fantastic. I‘m watching the Olympics and enjoying my box of wonderment. The brooches are just an amazing touch; I collect them, and I don‘t have anything similar! The bag is perfection, I haven‘t read either book and can‘t wait to do so, and the towels! I‘ll use the swim towel soon, and the tea towels are so special. I use a new one weekly on my bedside table. @DinoMom @Chrissyreadit 🔽

MittenGirlPeach I absolutely love bread, and I always have a baguette on hand, so the cloth bags are just great. The charcuterie board, the personal touches (the wax seals!) and your wonderful letter—it really made for the loveliest swap. J‘adore! (edited) 5mo
DinoMom Glad you liked it 💕 5mo

Gissy Am I absentminded? Yes! I thought I posted the picture of what I received in the box😳That‘s why I didn‘t understand why @Captivatedbybooks asked if everything arrived okay🤦🏽‍♀️I took the picture, thought I posted it then deleted from my photo library. Now I saw I didn‘t posted it so I took another picture. What I am going to do with myself😳😂😂😂😂

My staycation started after work today. So I found all the books I want to read

I own the books on the left and that‘s 19 books
On the right are my prioritized library books and that‘s 10 books. I currently has 23 books out

So for 23 days off work, I got 29 books, needless to say I won‘t get to everyone

This doesn‘t include my current reads (A Flat Place & Caledonian Road) or buddy reads (Nancy Drew, Shardlake & Sherlock Holmes)

KadaGul @AnnCecilie It does not matter what you can finish in 23 days what matters is that you have plenty of books 📚 to choose from for your staycation or vacation 🌅. #Staycation #Bookish 5mo
Jari-chan What a lovely stack to choose from! 5mo
AnneCecilie @KadaGul I know, but there‘s something about telling yourself and putting it out there that this is overly ambitious, just so that I don‘t get it my head that‘s it‘s doable. Since I do hope to do some other things as well. 5mo

Born.A.Reader Is this a new swap? What's it like? It sounds intriguing! 7mo
Chrissyreadit @Born.A.Reader I think this is our 5th year for this swap- it‘s around curating a staycation around any place or time- real or fictional- people are very creative- look at the hashtag #staycationintime and some will have years also- #staycationintime23 and the pictures will give you a good idea of what it is! 7mo

quietjenn Ah, I need to figure out where/when I want to go! 7mo
Born.A.Reader Omgosh these do look amazing!! The travel possibilities! 7mo
KadaGul I adore 😍it! If I hadn't been so busy participating in all the fantastic Summer 😎🌞Reading 📚programs at local libraries, I would have gone for a “Staycation”. #Staycation 7mo
Meshell1313 So fun! Thanks for hosting both of you! Just signed up! @DinoMom 🗺️ 7mo
julieclair Signed up! I love this swap! I can‘t wait to receive my match! Thanks so much for hosting. 🥰 7mo
Booklady-2365 I‘m brand new to this app. Can someone please explain what this is? It sounds interesting. 7mo
Chrissyreadit @Booklady-2365 It‘s a swap @DinoMom and I host each Summer. It requires a commitment to follow the rules and send items to your match, who also sends you items based on the theme. Also the link in my bio is to help new people in this app- it is full of information compiled a few years ago. 7mo
Graciouswarriorprincess Darn! I missed this . 5mo
Chrissyreadit @Graciouswarriorprincess 🥸 i‘m sorry!!! 5mo
Graciouswarriorprincess @Chrissyreadit It‘s ok. I don‘t know how I missed it as I did it last year and it was so fun. 😀 5mo

This part of the package felt like my very own #staycation in Puerto Rico. I love it so much!!!

LeahBergen I love the bookmark! 1y
Gissy I was one day in Old San Juan and went to this store with a friend and thought you would like those items. The staff was so nice and helped us. She helped to choose the mug❤️ 1y

Dove right into one of my #staycation treats (thank you @Catsandbooks ) and absolutely found a new author to love. Immediately looked up her other books and ordered the 2nd one in this series. What a great story of warring clans, magic, forbidden love, and music. Exceptional storytelling and characters who you can‘t help but root for. #serieslove2023 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

TheSpineView Sounds good!💜📖📚 1y
Catsandbooks Oh fantastic! So glad to hear it's a good one! 🙌🏼 1y

I forgot Saturday was opening day. But here is my #staycation haul. @dabbe it‘s amazing. What is not pictured is the sand time that is beautiful. I took it off the table so I wouldn‘t break it. But I love it all. We took the jelly beans to the movies so they were not available to put in the picture either.

MittenGirlPeach Beautiful package! 1y
