Library book! Pub‘d in 1934. #whatsinanamechallenge

So, the break in “reddish” was read by me as “red” and “dish” and I thought... “What the heck is red dish hair!?” LOL. Which made me think of the red dish in Ethan Frome.

I enjoyed this but I also LOVE time travel books - the theories of how it might happen and the reactions of characters are always fascinating. I don‘t quite get the mechanics of how the alexandrite ring was involved but that‘s ok. A fun drama and thoughts to consider on time, attitudes, and control. Plus, I love the gem - it‘s my birthstone. And this book has cherry pie, 🍒 🥧 👍

I am reading 3 books and the coincidences between them are freaking me out a bit. Dreams, set in LA, and a reference to Cardinal Wolsey!

Went to an author event last night; just starting The Paper Wasp and I am into it and obsessed as the character! The writing is smart and sharp. We have a creative artist waiting her time to have her brilliance acknowledged and allowed her outlet — she is obsessed with a childhood friend who is a Hollywood actress. It's good. I recommend so far!

Why is the book cover missing? Just starting this. I adored his Kitchens book. I need a story to fall into.

Hub is at work still — I got out early. Listening to the audiobook. #DogsofLitsy #thriller #bookclubbook

“The book presents truth telling as a commodity and it questions the exchange value of truth presented as fiction and conversely the added value of fiction when it‘s rooted in truth.”

#DogsofLitsy #amReading This is tense already. Hoping I can finish before due back at library.

Thank you @Velvetfur for the tag and @Eggs - nice to meet you.
1. My oldest friend is Dale, my kindergarten boyfriend and now FB friend. Haven‘t seen him for ... 40+ years.
2. Most amazing sunset was last weekend in Newport RI.
3. When I smell fake vanilla like the smell of Play-Doh which is supposed to be vanilla, I think of childhood.
4. The last book I read was The Psychology of Time Travel (tagged book) 🙂

The audiobook is terrific.

Then I know that an awful black whirling Chaos is just outside me, waiting to move into me. I must go to sleep quickly, before I become that chaos.
I am trembling with misery and with tiredness.

My Classics Club Spin result. I am reading the intro from 1971 and am extremely intrigued. #ccspin #EstherAssisting #DogsofLitsy #EveryoneisNapping

I am rereading by listening my favorite #tob2019 #tob book. So GOOD. Loving this repeat experience enhanced. #companionread #SayNothing

Book mail! Thanks Bybee!! 📚💕📭 I know what I am reading next.

At the boatyard; prepping for launch.

Oscar helps me show off my current read. #DogsofLitsy #whpg

Yea, it‘s OK. I did enjoy a pie reference 🥧

Holy triple agent complexity batman! Don‘t ask me if after reading this book I might be able to explain The Troubles cuz NO. It be damn complicated. And; as a companion book to Milkman? I cannot wait to reread that via audiobook. Milkman brought it alive that the nonfiction account just didn‘t. Still Say Nothing is riveting...

“... prone to a sportsman‘s vernacular, describing people as “off net“ and seasoning his conversation with clubby expressions.”

Ok, what would OFF NET mean?

Enjoying this and yet, dismayed that it is much more than a book about loving a Great Dane.

OOOOooooo. I think I am going to like this AND be besotted with the author. Quirky! #tob2020 #Oscarassisting #dogsoflitsy #carride #librarybook

Oscar & Esther share my excitement to begin the book as soon as I read There There (by tomorrow‘s #TOB2019
#dogsoflitsy #bookmail #thanksMom

I am over 1/3 into There, There! It‘s good so far. And, I hit a pie mention. #pieinlit #iLovePie #BooksandPie
So, I attempted to add txt to my image but couldn‘t figure out how to move or increase font size, ... but can anyone tell me how to access my bookmarks when reading on the iPad Kindle app? Crazy question but I can‘t figure it out... seems like it should be the only thing I would/should want to see so why are they hiding this? Ugh.

Will I be reading this, starting now/soon due to today‘s #tob2019 result? Or will I put it aside and get to it eventually...

No #tob2019 books at the airport bookstore so I bought this. Which looks more fun than There There so...

A friend gave me this book (not in Litsy database) and it looks fabulous! So excited to make a few of the lovely recipes... 🍀🎉

First round #TOB2019! I am always a bit shy abt commenting but I LOVE reading the insights and opinions of the commentariats. I am now excited to read AiNtH and I want to try the audio of A Terrible Country. Not disappointed Speak No Evil doesn‘t advance yet appreciate the discussion on this book. My favorite booknerd time of the year. Anyone disappointed? Excited for today? Big thank you to @Ruthiella for sharing so much of the fun with me

Ayoola calls for the house girl and tells her to bring the apple crumble with custard and side plates.

Sending So Lucky to @amyrabbitt because it was sent to me by the generous @thebluestocking !! #payingitforward
I liked it and tbh, it is a visceral uncomfortable reading experience but one I am appreciating more as time goes by and I continue to ask, “Did I *like* this book? Did I?”
It had so much anger, such scary stuff, mind-messing qualities!
#tob #tob2019 #rooster #OscarAssisting #DogsofLitsy (the mc didn‘t like dogs 🐶) #pieinliterature

So lucky! I am so lucky to have friends to chat up books, to exchange books, to share books, to mail books. 😍🥰 Thanks @thebluestocking Jessica! TY card on its way to you tomorrow, which is first day of #LetterMo!

Current #audiobook.

Calling OverDrive audiobook listeners! How can I tell where I am %age wise? It‘s a 9+ hour listen but my page shows only which chapter I am in. I could assume by chapter count that I am half way through, I suppose. #tob #tob2019 #rooster #motherhood

“Nothing comes to kill him. Nothing at all happens, and it keeps on happening with great force and patience.”

16 pages in and I know this will be an amazing reading experience. #tob @amyrabbitt

So good! Tho, have to admit, I am not sure exactly what is happening on island B_. #dogsoflitsy #oscarassisting #tob

I FINALLY FINISHED A BOOK!!! #TOB

Starting this on audio because it is SHORT!! It is odd, though. Is this author one of those odd ducks that gives just enough to feel that “something is a little off somewhere” vibe? #TOB2019

Slow going. NOT due to the book! But me. Just can‘t sit still and let my mind focus? When I do, I am really savoring and thinking about this main character. Esther assisting. #DogsofLitsy #TOB19

#tob2019 #audiobook This is a new delivery method for me; need to figure out how to speed it up. #librarybook

“Yippee-ki-yay, m__f__,” Leon said, grinning.

Ok, so from my hub attempting to tweet this but not spelling it right so I had to ask what he was trying to say, to my friend needing me to explain this is from Die Hard and then a discussion of how YES, Die Hard *is* a xmas movie, and then reading it today... Yahoo!!
