Librarybelle I felt so bad for Molly! And, Clare making it sound like it‘s all Molly‘s fault! Molly‘s a kid, who is relying on strangers to help her out. Glad Papa came to the rescue! 2w

Ruthiella I have a bad feeling about this former Miss Clare! 😬 2w

Cuilin @Ruthiella I second this suspicion!! 🤨 2w

Cuilin @Librarybelle Agreed. I love the relationship she has with her father. 2w

Bookwormjillk Here we go 2w

Clare-Dragonfly I am extremely disappointed in this Clare! Though I suppose she isn‘t a real Clare, since I figured out halfway through this chapter that it‘s her maiden name, not her first name 🤣 2w

Lcsmcat I‘m definitely on Team Dad. Poor little Molly! 2w

mcctrish Clare is a train wreck #notarealclare hence forth 2w

willaful @Clare-Dragonfly She is definitely not worthy of the name! 2w

rubyslippersreads @Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish My middle name is Claire, and I completely reject this awful woman. 😂 #notarealclare 2w

ElizaMarie I love the daddy-daughter-ness of it all! He is such a sweet man - Ugh #DoesHeDieSoon ? 2w

mcctrish @ElizaMarie EG is not to be trusted with men #shekillsthemwillynilly 2w

Clare-Dragonfly I would also like to mention that the lord dude sucks. I shuddered with childhood recognition at her description of the man who takes hold of a joke and won‘t let it go, and keeps pointing it at a baffled child who can‘t escape. 2w

Bklover @ElizaMarie @mcctrish you are probably right. Dad is my favorite character, so they will surely kill him off, leaving poor Molly an orphan! 2w

quietjenn Clare and the other ladies made me *so* mad. Not only to act like everything is Molly's fault but to be like, ""Oh, you can just stay all night, aren't you lucky?" ? 1w

The Devil in the White City: A Saga of Magic and Murder at the Fair that Changed America | Erik Larson

So I picked this book for bookclub one month because I was really interested in the sections about H.H. Holmes.... turns out most of it was tediously long, #unwanted descriptions of the architecture that went into building the World‘s Fair... interesting at first but quickly became boringggggg lol give me more serial killer stuff please! 😂

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @vkois88

knotmagick I felt the same way. Dead Wake was a lot better. 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I have this one, but haven‘t gotten to it!!! 6y

KarynGood Same! 6y

RamsFan1963 I was the exact opposite, I found the creation of the World's Faire endlessly fascinating, while the sordid serial killer story wasn't at all interesting. 6y

TheFunkyBookworm @RamsFan1963 once they got to the part where they finally opened the fair, I enjoyed it a LOT more... def did a deep dive on google looking up pics! 6y

TheFunkyBookworm @knotmagick I think it‘s very impressive how well researched his books are and he is clearly passionate about his subjects but I‘m not sure I have that passion within me to stick through allllll those details 😂 6y

Linear I have this book somewhere. But I never read it, it didnt seem my cup of tea. Maybe I should try it. But I dont handle overly done details... hmm 6y

vkois88 I am SO angry I read this book. I wanted more than I got about Holmes. I feel like it was advertised differently than it should have been... if I had known going into it what it was, it would have been fine 6y

cherinium I find it interesting that I have seen reviews going both ways. It seems that those interested in the architecture hate the serial killer chapters and the true crime nuts are bored to tears by the World Fair sections. I was one of the latter. Perhaps these 2 topics are a bit too disparate to work in one book. 6y

TheFunkyBookworm @Linear well- unless you are uber interested in architecture, I‘d say “overly done” is a good description lol 6y

TheFunkyBookworm @vkois88 yesss I agree!!!! Now I‘ve heard they are making a move (with Leo D. as Holmes!)- and I‘m better that will focus more on what we were looking for! Lol 6y

TheFunkyBookworm @cherinium interesting perspective- you might be right about that.... but then again i would have appreciated more of the architecture description in reference to HH Holmes‘s hotel- although maybe the true problem was that there just isn‘t a lot of information available! 6y

vkois88 Yes!!! 6y

Blue Lightning: A Thriller | Ann Cleeves

There was a shocking #unwanted plot twist in this book, that has a pronounced effect on Jimmy Perez and the other books in the series. A wonderful series. #ANewChapter

vkois88, Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Sounds intriguing!! 6y

Andrew65 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks A great series if you haven‘t read them. 6y

emmaturi Love this series, just got the very last one to read! 6y

These are just some of my books that I need to get around to reading, and even though it will take a while, they are not #unwanted! #anewchapter

AlaSkaat Ahhh, seeing books always makes me happy. There are times I just look at pictures of books-strange? But they are just so beautiful to look at. Makes you so calm and satisfied! 6y

OriginalCyn620 @OleAnder it‘s not strange at all! And I agree-books are beautiful to look at! 6y

Andrew65 Loved Norse Mythology, A Man Called Ove And Then She Was Gone. Enjoy. 👍 (edited) 6y

To Kill a Kingdom | Alexandra Christo

#Unwanted by her mother, the Sea Queen, Princess Lira was banished from the sirens' kingdom & turned into a human, a creature most despised by the sirens. Her paths crossed with Prince Elian's when he saved her at sea. Their fates sealed when they made a pact to bring down the heartless Sea Queen. Loved this YA retelling of The Little Mermaid recommended to me by @thewallflower0707 for my #newyearwhodis challenge! Full review on my blog! ⬇️⬇️

Jee_HookedOnBookz #ANewChapter @vkois88 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 6y

thewallflower0707 Happy you enjoyed it!! I just love how deliciously complicated both characters are and that they are not at all these bland shiny teenagers you usually find in YA. 6y

Jee_HookedOnBookz @thewallflower0707 yeah! I agree! And I loced those quippy dialogues!! Fun to read :) you can read my full review on my blog! 😊Thanks for recommending this to me, Svenja! ❤️❤️ 6y

It's snowing a little bit right now, but they are predicting at least 8 inches of snow where I live for later today and tonight. Even though Wisconsin is known for cold weather and snow, it is #unwanted by a lot of people here.

Two memoirs about being unwanted by Yen Mah. Both of these have been on my radar for years.

Reader's Digest One-dish Meals: The Easy Way | Reader's Digest Staff

Sorry, Irving‘s Delight. You were exactly the short, innocuous story I needed to end the year. You came from my mom‘s bookcase, which is not insignificant. Nevertheless, I left you at the used bookstore last night along with half a shelf of cookbooks from the great pantry reorganization and a few other random items. Though you are #unwanted by me, I‘m sure you will make some other readers happy. #anewchapter
