❤️❤️ Lisbon, Portugal

Anyone been meaning to read this? It's one of Audio Sync's free downloads this week! It's an excellent, not too gritty, story of living in a Lithuanian concentration camp during WWII.

Posting this mostly so I can find it myself.

But it's a great article!

Loved both of these very different books. My first go with Heather O'Neill totally exceeded my expectations though!

Every single person should read this book. It is so good. Unless you are a racist I suppose, then don't bother.

All. The. Feels. So Good.

Have you heard about this book?? OMG so fascinating! It's kind of a true crime memoir about a guy who learns that when he was a baby he was kidnapped, then two years later found abandoned and is reunited to his family.

Spent a cozy afternoon at the Whistler Public Library reading this gem.

Now I will have to track it down again to finish it!

Enjoying this stylistically, geographically, politically, etc.

Just received my copy of this! Finally!!

I can't wait to get into it. ❤️❤️

Wow I've read all three of these, plus the winners in fiction and nonfiction.

I kind of feel well read right now! 😂

Enjoying this immensely. I actually went out and bought it so I can browse through it and also have it for next time I go to France. 😍

Every. Freakin. Time.
😨😭😨😭😨😭😨

😁😁😁

I saw this title on the NYTimes 100 notable books list, and I love memoirs so I decided to check it out. It is a super interesting read on a subject that I don't have knowledge about. Definitely makes me want to seek out more about the area, culture, conflict etc. from both soles of the war of course!

I read this book while I was in Europe, translated from French. It's set in various cities in France. It was very good, and different.

Can somebody post the #readjanuary list and tag me? There are so many pics in the tag that I can't find it!
thanks!

This boooook!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
So hilarious. You have to read it!

Loving all the Canadian references! Timmy's, Canadian Tire, Mark's Work Wearhouse... so good in a Shakespeare reimagining.

I saw this sign in a bathroom stall I made use of today.... am I wrong in thinking it unnecessary?? 😂😂😂

I might clarify that I think the weirdest thing about it is not that somebody would squat to pee, but rather that somebody made this sign to say squatting is a big ❌.

Next up...

And I am 100% sure I heard about this one from @Liberty . If not, I may need some kind of help... 😂😂

This is a very engaging story and I did enjoy it, but I felt like it could have dug much deeper into several characters and plot lines. I wanted it to be longer!

😍👍😍

Heard @Liberty mention this on a recent podcast and decided to give it a go. Really enjoying it so far! ❤️#allthebooks

Amazing lazy Monday.... hubby brought me a latte and took the kids to the park! ❤️❤️

What a great way to start the year! This book is profound, and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to read diversely.

So excited for all the awesome books I get to read this year!

Kickin off 2017 and #readerharder2017 with the LGBTQ author... I've been meaning to read this for a while!! 😁😁 🏳️‍🌈

#botm I was counting on you for Roxane Gay's new book!!! 😭😭😭😭

And my 8 year old son's version!

My kids and me, foolin' around with the new gel pens!

The books I read this month... 19 of them.

5 were non fiction, the rest were fiction.
Only two five star reads this month: The Nix, and Girl Waits With Gun. Though, All My Puny Sorrows and Alexander Hamilton were close.

I'm not done Ginny Gall yet, but will be by tomorrow!

Finish 2016 strong Littens! ❤️❤️

Anyone read this? Just started it and it's already made me cry... really enjoying it.

Great sale! I picked up Geek Love, The Sellout, Brother I'm Dying and Invisible Man got the Whole World Watching. 😍📚😍📚😍📚

I know I am too late for the contest, but I thought my #bookofthemonth ribbon would be perfect for the beautiful copy of Peter Pan we bought for the kids when we were in London!

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Listening to this over the past few days after watching Moana with my kids, then realizing Lin Manual Miranda, who wrote the songs for the movie, is also The creator of Hamilton the musical!! Love Moana and its soundtrack, Love the Hamilton soundtrack, loving this book. Now if only I could see the show without paying an arm and a leg! ❤️❤️

How did I not know about this!!! Squeeee! Comes out the first Tuesday in January!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

AUDIOBOOK RECOMMENDATION

This narrator is seriously awesome. I don't know if he consulted with the author to achieve the tone of each of the characters, but man I am thoroughly entertained. Rivals my favourite audio narration- Where'd You Go Bernadette?

Also, tell me your fave audiobook narrations! I want to listen to them.

This book got me right back sucked into Serial's case about Adnan Syed. I pretty much spent the entire week binge listening to the entire first season of the Undisclosed podcast. 30 episodes. 🙈🙈🙈

OMG this book is not fair! So crazy tense until the very freaking end. GAH!! 😁😁😁

And inside the Acqua Alta bookshop. Everything is up high or on something that floats, because of the flooding of the city each year during higher than normal tides.

I sadly didn't get a pic but there is actually a gondola filled with books in this store!
