I have been all over the place picking a new read #thestruggleisreal 2/3 buddy reads are a struggle bus ( yes The Brothers Karamazov and The Golden Notebook I am talking about YOU!) Emma of 83rd Street is light and fluffy. I need something good but not too thought provoking, something compelling but fun. Here we go with the next in a series from a buddy read ( please forgive me TBR stacks in my house, it‘s a library read)

dabbe Ooh, Belgravia makes me think of Sherlock Holmes! 🤩 2w
mcctrish That‘s what this is @dabbe retelling of Sherlock ❤️❤️ but he‘s a she 2w
dabbe @mcctrish OMG! On the TBR! 🤩 2w

Bklover Also he comes home and she doesn‘t ask him a single thing about his day. She has absolutely no interest in Rodney! 4mo
Aimeesue Sybil does know! I think he was with Rowena 😂 4mo
BarkingMadRead @Aimeesue that would be amazing #wifeswap 4mo
AnnR These characters aren't very likeable. My reaction to them is similar to the characters in many of Edith Wharton's novels. 4mo
Bklover @Aimeesue That would be perfect wouldn‘t it?!😆 4mo
Bookwormjillk @Aimeesue ha! Perfect! Sybil knows all. 4mo
dabbe @AnnR I so agree! I think I've mentioned more than once how these people make me think of the Gilded Age New York society snobs. Just living their elegantly rich but humdrum lives. 4mo

mrp27 Seriously!! This is why no one understands when I‘ll wear shorts with a sweater or uggs with shorts or something ridiculous like that to keep cool and warm at the same time. 5mo

Anyone else somewhat obsessively check the shipping status of book orders? I‘m currently waiting somewhat patiently for 2, including the tagged, to arrive.

Just a small haul from today's library book sale. I was trying to be good because I'm running out of space for books. #smallhaul #thestruggleisreal

When you‘re trying to do yoga to meet your goal to be healthier in 2022 but you keep getting distracted by all the books you haven‘t read yet. 😬🤷🏻‍♀️

Which do I read first?
I can't decide! 😩

#BooknerdProblems #TheStruggleisReal 😆

ravenlee I always go with Mercy - but the other is still sitting on my shelf unread, so I can‘t judge fairly. 2y
TrishB I enjoyed the left! Not read any Biggs! 2y
Crinoline_Laphroaig I loved, loved, loved House in the Cerulean Sea. 2y

Bookworm struggles: Stripping the bed after falling asleep reading and throwing your book into the washer with the sheets. Also washers do not like it when you throw books into them. They tend to get loud. Luckily it made noise right at the beginning of the cycle so all is well. #thestruggleisreal

EvieBee Oh no! I‘ve done this with my phone. 2y
Soubhiville 😢 oh no! 2y
Cortg Yikes! I've sent my phone through a wash cycle before. Ugh. Is it still readable?

kspenmoll I am so sorry but I find this both comforting & hilarious! I‘ve washed ear buds, chargers, tons of tissues, etc. 2y

So I did a chat with Shawn about this book on his YouTube channel if anyone is interested in watching me gush and gesticulate 😄. (You should also follow Shawn, he has strong opinions which makes for interesting reviews but he‘s also smart and kind and thoughtful) @shawnmooney

rockpools Oh that‘s fun! And so nice to see you 😊. I‘m quite sold on the book as well… 2y
Centique @rockpools thank you! I‘m getting braver in my old age 😜 2y
LeahBergen Oh, that @shawnmooney ! ❤️❤️❤️ I can‘t wait to watch. 😘 2y

Reggie Paula, you‘re such a great guest. This was interesting and I can‘t wait to hear about the Frame on the podcast. 2y
batsy Ooh! I'm looking forward to watching ❤️ 2y
Centique @LeahBergen I asked him when he‘ll get you on there! 😘 2y
Centique @Reggie thank you my friend! It‘s funny to see myself pulling faces as I speak 🤪😂 Yes I have to prep for my talk with Jenny on that one! 2y
Centique @batsy and Margot is on there too! I just watched her talk about A Jest of God and she‘s inspired me again to read it @merelybookish 2y
merelybookish It was so fun to see you Paula! It's like @shawnmooney is bringing us all a bit closer together! 🥰 And @batsy, I mentioned #spinsterlit and felt afterwards I should have credited you with coining the term. 2y
merelybookish @Reggie I listened to you on Reading Envy. I have no interest in horror but it was fun to hear you talk about it. 🙂 2y
Reggie @merelybookish ☺️thanks! I‘m sorry I didn‘t even know you were on here because I saw Centique and just fast forwarded to watch her only. Lol, but I went back now and you did great. I like that you mentioned Scott and Suba. Even though reading Laurence isn‘t my thing I like to read ya‘lls comments for the passion of reading something ya‘ll have. Same with the reading the Shakespeare read along. Same with Sprainedbrain and her pemberlitten crew👇🏼 2y
Reggie I may never have read Jane Austen but seeing DebinHawaii make a meme collage and a haiku chapter roundup because she feels passionately about it makes my day. Such is the allure of Litsy for me. Lol great job, Margot, is what I meant to say. 2y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Love it!! We both got to be his guest. I need to do better about BookTube listening! 2y
Centique @BarbaraTheBibliophage I am going to go watch yours too! I struggle to keep up with book tube and podcasts, but now that I‘ve kind of “met” Shawn, and liked him so much, I‘m trying to watch all of his. 2y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Centique #thestruggleisreal Now that I‘m not driving as much, my podcast / audiobook time is limited. And BookTube even more so … not enough hours in the day!! 2y

For such a short book, it‘s taking me way too long to get through it. It‘s not the book‘s fault - I am enjoying it but life keeps getting in the way of my reading! 🤦🏻‍♀️
If I do nothing else today, I will finish it!
