Definitely should have gotten a digital copy of this one! This book is enormous and floppy and heavy! But I love these books so much. I can't wait to find out what happens next. Never have I loved characters as much as I love Claire and Jamie.

Suzze Yeah, I try to get almost all my "big books" for the ereader. 7y

This series is a guilty pleasure of mine for sure. An ex boyfriend introduced me to these books in 2008. I've since worked on collecting the entire series through Goodwill and local library book sales. I even ended up with two of some. Oops. If you need a good raunchy supernatural read Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter is your girl!

I'm five friggin books away from the highest reading goal I've ever set for myself! I'm reading 4 books currently, just need to finish them before the end of the year and find one more! Any suggestions?

MrBook Oh my goodness! I have the *same* exact reading goal on GR!!! 😂👏🏻🙌🏻 #KindredSpirits! Pre-Litsy, I was 4 books ahead of schedule. After I joined, I'm 4 books behind schedule 😂👏🏻. I'm at 60, I think. Crunch time! 7y
Reviewsbylola You got this!!! 7y
Zelma @AshManzer Comic book. Short but still a book. 😉 @MrBook yes, Litsy has really impacted my reading time. I feel like I'm on the internet all the time now. #dammitlitsy 7y

Stars of Fortune | Nora Roberts

Survived hosting Thanksgiving at our house for the first time ever. Only minimal family drama! Such a great day full of loved ones! I've really enjoying taking breaks to finish this book. I'm not a big romance fan but I love Nora Roberts books that lean more towards fantasy. This one has been great.

I think I've read every book and series Laura Thalassa has put out so far. I love her writing and her stories. They're all easy fast reads and that's why I love her. They're highly entertaining. Rhapsodic is her latest book (I couldn't find the correct title above as you can see but the book I pulled up is great too!) You should def check her out if you haven't.

I'm a little over halfway through The Wonder hoping it gets better. Please tell it does... I hate giving up on a book. But so far this one is so dull.

Reviewsbylola I thought this one was more of a slower pace as well. My mom couldn't put it down though! 7y
Matilda According to my feed it seems you and @rachellayown are both having the same exact dilemma. 7y
rachellayown Ha, I didn't even finish the first chapter @Matilda. It certainly wasn't bad, I just have so many books to read and figured I'd stop before getting halfway through and having this dilemma! 7y

Meg11726 @AshManzer it's a very slow read. And it only happens over a matter of a couple days but finish it out. I'm still a little torn over my thoughts of this book. Was it a "wow, everyone needs to read this" or was it "it was okay" or was it "this can go on back of the shelf". The ending is different, I may have suspected what happened early on. I have a hard time not finishing a book. 7y
AshManzer Me too @Meg11726 I'll stick it out. I read several more chapters. I'll share my thoughts when I'm done. 7y
Meg11726 @AshManzer I will be interested in what you think. I'm still not sure what I think of it. 7y
AshManzer @Meg11726 now that I finished it it all makes sense. I rated the book so-so. It was so frustrating up until the last like 10%. I yelled "Why are you idiots letting her die!!!" Can you imagine living in that time?! 7y
Meg11726 @AshManzer that's exactly how I felt. Like seriously? Feed her!!!! Place food in front of her. She'd eat! It still makes me frustrated! Haha 7y

Reading actual books takes me far longer than I like. Every few minutes my attention is shifted "mama look" "mama I wanna hold you". I wouldn't have it any other way though!

#FunFridayPhoto two of our current favorite coffee table books! Both great laughs. I love Jenny Lawson. I feel like she's a close friend! I found my husband a fireman gnome so I had to get this How to Survive a Garden Gnome attack book for him too! He didn't find it nearly as funny as I did!

MrBook Great review and pic! 8y

Decided fall was the perfect time to reread A Discovery of Witches so I can finish the All Souls Trilogy. It's been so long since I've read the first book that I'd be too lost when I started the second.

This is one amazing science fiction/thriller! It really made me think and had me a nervous wreck the entire story. The characters are so well established and detailed. I really enjoyed the audiobook!

Most people don‘t really have a purpose, a sense of purpose anyway, beyond their immediate surroundings. They‘re important to their family but it doesn‘t go much beyond that. Everyone is replaceable at work, friendships come and go.

The Queen of the Night | Alexander Chee

I began my search with the one who loved me. You should always begin there, I think. The secret hurt, long nurtured, never brought to light, until it has grown lethal in the dark and the smile of friendship is all that is left to hang there like a lure.
