Black Leopard, Red Wolf: Dark Star Trilogy 1 | Marlon James

It feels like #WeveOnlyJustBegun with this book, because even though I‘m about a third of the way through, I have NO IDEA what‘s going on, I‘m confused and pretty sure I‘m going to end up not liking this book much. It will take so much coffee to get me through this book ☕️☕️☕️

gradcat I hope you get through it—I hate it when that happens! 😊 6y

JennyM For some reason I don‘t want to read this one. I feel a bit intimidated by it. Looking forward to hearing how you find it x 6y

Cathythoughts I nearly got it ... just for the cover ♥️👍🏻 6y

erzascarletbookgasm Agree the cover is beautiful @Cathythoughts 6y

8little_paws I'm about this far as well and yes, it's a hard book to read. I'm hoping to finish it up soon though. 6y

blank I had trouble with this one too. I stopped around 50 pages and haven't decided if I'm ever going to go back to it. 6y

Centique Your mug is gorgeous! 6y

Geeklet @LaurensLibrary Exact same thing happened to me. I‘ll try it again....eventually. 6y

Cinfhen Uh oh!!! I‘m really nervous 🤦‍♀️I‘ve been looking forward to this book for so long but I‘ve only seen meh reviews 6y

Kalalalatja @Cinfhen I hate to say this, but I‘m hating it a bit. I‘m only struggling through it for the #MarchMadnessChallenge, and because it is starting to make a teeny tiny bit of sense. But no a fan, which bums me out, because I was really excited for it 😔 6y

Kalalalatja @8little_paws @LaurensLibrary @Geeklet I‘m not against violent books (I love GRRM‘s books), but something about this is just too much. It is so graphic and it feels like violence for violence‘s sake, and not for the story. 6y

Kalalalatja @gradcat it is so disappointing! @JennyM so far, I can‘t recommend it 🤭 @Cathythoughts @erzascarletbookgasm it is a stunning cover! @Centique thank you, I painted it myself ☺️ 6y

merelybookish I couldn't finish his last book and everyone loves it, so I didn't even consider trying to read this one.

Brief History of Seven Killings

blank @Kalalalatja Yeah I thought the sex was overdone, too. Like there was constant, graphic scenes about masterbating and stuff for no reason. 6y

Centique @Kalalalatja how clever you are! 6y

Suet624 I‘m bummed because I recently bought this and Seven Killings. Neither of which seem to be easy to like. 6y

gradcat I‘m so sorry. That is really sad...do you HAVE to finish it for the challenge? 6y

Kalalalatja @gradcat not really, but I‘m way too stubborn when og comes to stuff like this. And now I‘m so far, I kinda need to see how it ends even though I‘m hate reading it all the way to the end 6y

gradcat Same here. I am really trudging through my current read...it, too, is for a challenge. I‘m almost there, though, but it seems like it has taken me a month! 6y

Have His Carcase | Dorothy L. Sayers

#BookMail Pt4 Number Seven In Sayers Lord Peter Wimsey series. I‘m slowly accumulating them all in these editions, they‘re so pretty. And colourful! #WeveOnlyJustBegun #MayMovieMagic

Cinfhen, RohitSawant

rretzler One of my favorite series! I have them all in one particular cover, except for The Nine Tailors. I keep thinking that I‘d like a complete collection with all the same covers...maybe someday😀 6y

Cinfhen Beautiful edition 6y

gradcat I love this series as well, but I don‘t have but one that I own. Good luck collecting them all! 🤞🏼 6y

RohitSawant I've been meaning to start this series! 6y

Der Blackthorn-Code - Das Geheimnis des letzten Tempelritters | Kevin Sands

#WeVeOnlyJustBegun to understand why I ordered the book in the picture - first in the series - when I actually wanted to order the tagged book - third in the series; German editions. And of course I already gave this book to my son, who hasn't noticed my mistake yet.

I feel stupid.

#MayMovieMagic @Cinfhen @rohit-sawant

Cinfhen Ugh, don‘t beat yourself up!! I mess up all the time, too! As long as you didn‘t mean to buy the English version it‘s perfectly fine 😜 6y

julesG @Cinfhen Have the English version of all four books on my kindle, but the kiddo refuses to read the series in English. 6y

Cathythoughts Oh stop! I‘ve ordered books in languages I do not understand on kindle 🙄. Hopefully you can work something out 6y

julesG @Cathythoughts Don't worry. Since we have this book, in the picture, twice now, once in hardcover even, it'll make a nice gift for a friend's child or when one of my kids needs a last minute present to take to a party. We could also donate one book to the school library. 😊 6y

TrishB @Cathythoughts me too 👍🏻 easy to press that button! 6y

gradcat I‘m sure you‘ll find a deserving child who will love it! 😊 6y

Kelley Blue Book Consumer Guide Used Car Edition: Consumer Edition Jan - Mar 2018 (January - March 2018) | Kelley Blue Book

Unfortunately, #WeveOnlyJustBegun to look for a new (likely used) car for my father. 😒👎🏻

My dad, who goes to car shows with his friends, DOES NOT want to shop for a car. Sigh. But his 20-year-old Mercedes has finally bit the dust.

After much prodding, he and I test drove two Honda CRVs similar to this one. Wish us luck. 🤞🏻🍀 #MayMovieMagic

It took me awhile to figure out this prompt, Cindy!! 😂😂

Cinfhen, RohitSawant

Kimzey Good luck with the car search! 6y

ReadingRover I had a 2008 crv that I drove over 300,000 miles and just got a new one this year. The only thing I ever had to get fixed was the a/c compressor and that was a year ago. It‘s the best car I‘ve ever owned. I absolutely love it. 6y

Megabooks @Kimzey Thanks!! 6y

Megabooks @ReadingRover Wow!! That‘s great to know!! His mechanic told us that Hondas were low maintenance and easy to fix. Glad to have someone who‘s owned one confirm it! 6y

Cinfhen We bought Niki a Honda CRV for her 16 birthday and she‘s still driving it ( although she‘s READY for a new car) they are excellent automobiles! My hubby drove a Pilot. Can‘t go wrong with a Honda. Good luck 🚘 6y

Megabooks @Cinfhen That‘s fantastic! I‘m glad I‘m seeing such rave reviews! We‘re considering a pilot as well, but they don‘t have the right one for us in town. I‘m continuing to look! 6y

gradcat Good luck with the car search, hon 😉 ☘️🤞🏼 6y

KathyWheeler I loved my CR-V. The only reason I‘m not still driving it is my husband, who refuses to get himself a new (even used car) needed a new car. I‘d fallen in love with this electric blue Toyota Rav4; so I bought myself the slightly used (2018) RAV4 and gave my husband the CR-V. Good luck with the car shopping. 6y

Megabooks @gradcat Thanks!! 6y

Megabooks @KathyWheeler We were also looking at Toyota models. How‘s your RAV-4? 6y

KathyWheeler @Megabooks I love it too. 6y

Megabooks @KathyWheeler 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks!! 6y

KathyWheeler @Megabooks I honestly think you can‘t go wrong with either one. I bought the CR-V originally because it had more options and was less expensive than the RAV4. Buying used this time evened that out. Both are good cars. 6y

Megabooks @KathyWheeler I‘ve noticed that similar cars are priced a little higher at Toyota, but Toyota models have more of the features he wants standard or at lower trim packages. The same dealer owns Honda and Toyota here, so at least it‘s convenient! We‘ve also thrown in the Hyundai Santa Fe, but I know a lot less about them as a brand. 6y

KathyWheeler @Megabooks my son and daughter-in-law own Hyundais, just not the Santa Fe. They love them. I‘ve driven a Santa Fe as a rental and didn‘t find it as smooth of a ride as the Honda and Toyota. 6y

Megabooks @KathyWheeler I think, assuming dad and I can find time, we‘re going to try the Santa Fe, RAV-4, and he wants to try a Highlander, next week. None of us have owned Asian cars before, so it‘s all new! Thank you for your help! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 6y

KathyWheeler @Megabooks 👍🏼 Good luck! 6y

Reviewsbylola Good luck and god speed! I had a CRV for a few years and loved it! 6y

Megabooks @Reviewsbylola @KathyWheeler Thank you!! 👍🏻👍🏻😊😊 6y

Copwithabook We once pursued a CRV for an hour all over the county- it went until the driver literally drove the tires off. So good car!! 6y

Megabooks @Copwithabook Wow! That‘s crazy!! 6y

The Dumb House | John Burnside

#weveonlyjustbegun this book and I, but I'm already disturbed and hooked. The first line is: "No one could say it was my choice to kill the twins, any more than it was my decision to bring them into the world." ?

#maymoviemagic
@Cinfhen @rohit-sawant

BiblioLitten 😟 That line 6y

JennyM That‘s one heck of a first line! 6y

everlocalwest This has been on my list for a while! I'm excited to see what you think. 6y

readordierachel @BiblioLitten @JennyM @vivastory @merelybookish @Cinfhen @rohit-sawant @Cathythoughts @LeahBergen @Reggie @gradcat @everlocalwest I made some good headway in it today and I'm loving it. So creepy! 6y

(Day 3 - #WeveOnlyJustBegun)

*Song was used in an Australian Movie called “The Castle;” however, I hadn‘t known about this movie before today. Maybe some of you Oz residents have seen it? ♥️

Cinfhen, RohitSawant

Centique The Castle is a HILARIOUS Aussie movie. I loved it. 😍 6y

gradcat Oh yay! Finally found someone who knows this movie...glad to hear from you! 🥰 6y

The Seed | Tarjei Vesaas

#weveonlyjustbegun #MayMovieMagic
Went to my Litsy TBR to find this one, which I think is a @BarbaraBB recommendation. Vesaas is quite high on my list of new authors to try. This isn't one of his more well-known works, but sounds intriguing- a murder on an island leads to an atypical revenge tale rather than a mystery 🏝️💀
@rohit-sawant @Cinfhen

saresmoore I want that. 6y

BarbaraBB I am always promoting Vesaas so that could have been me indeed. I hope you‘ll like his books! 6y

Cinfhen Ohhh, sounds good!! And excellent memory #Youth 6y

LeahBergen @BarbaraBB made me stack this one, too. 😄 6y

gradcat Stacking...thanks for posting. That is not an author I‘m familiar with—now I‘m excited! 😜 6y

Billypar @BabaraBB look what you started 😁 @saresmoore @Cinfhen @LeahBergen @gradcat 6y

gradcat @BarbaraBB 😉 6y

BarbaraBB @Billypar Lol! @saresmoore @gradcat @LeahBergen This one is not his best though. I would really start with this one or the one I tag below!

The Birds

BarbaraBB

The Ice Palace

gradcat @BarbaraBB Thanks! I very much appreciate your input on this. 😘 6y

BarbaraBB @gradcat Let me know if you ever read one, I do hope you‘ll enjoy his books as much as I do! 6y

Billypar @BarbaraBB I would have added those two, but they were already on it ☺️ 6y

gradcat @BarbaraBB You betcha! 😉 6y
