Weekend reading

Book mail!

I am loving this one at the moment #reesebookclub

This one has been hard to put down.

Best opening

I‘m not typically one for mystery novels. I usually have them figured out 1/3 of the way through. However, Ware kept me on my toes with this one. Just when I thought I had the mystery solved, another element was added into this game of lies and secrets spanning over 20 years. #reesewitherspoonbookclub

Definitely a page turner

Yellow dandelions always let me know that warmer days are just around the corner. I‘m so ready to be reading outside. #reesesbookclub

I really wanted to love this book, and parts of it I did. Yet, Eleanor Oliphant had a very slow start. Once I read a little more than half of the book, I couldn‘t seem to put it down. The book‘s plot and structure are very much like it‘s narrator. Eleanor is unsuspecting and even bland, but once the surface has been scratched another side the Eleanor, and ultimately the novel, is revealed. #reesesbookclub

Thanks for Netflix, I have fallen down a literary rabbit hole. #bridgerton

This book is awesome! It was just what I needed at this moment. I have been in a bit of a reading slump the past couple of months. Abbi Waxman‘s novel definitely pulled me put of it.

Such a cute intro

Really trying to get through this book. It‘s not as good as I had hoped it would be.

I laughed; I cried. It‘s such a beautiful and heart warming story about the world‘s most loyal dog. Immediately after finishing, I had to snuggle my own three dogs.

I don‘t read a lot of nonfiction. I almost exclusively stick to novels. Yet, once in a great while, a nonfiction work will captivate me. I am currently LOVING The Queens of Animation right now. It is an extremely fascinating look at the history of women artist within the Walt Disney Studios. I highly recommend it.

Luckily I stocked up before the library had to close for a few weeks.

Isolation at its finest

I‘m about halfway through the book. It‘s not the best thing I‘ve ever read, but it‘s fun so far.

Pretty much

I don‘t think there is a more accurate description of Kentucky

I love that my school librarians will order anything I request. I first heard about this novel while I was at the AP literature reading last summer. It is an amazing mix of science fiction and historical fiction.

It took me a little while to get into the book, but once I gave it a chance, I throughly enjoyed it.

Some raw thoughts about poetry

Three books in three days. All three are wonderful. #janeausten

Rainy winter days are meant for warm drinks and good books.

Trying to read one more before 2019

Until she writes another novel, I‘ll just be reading her short story #rainbowrowell

This is such a fun, cute young adult book

Hoping for some good YA

🤞hoping this one is good!

When your author-friend alludes to a novel you teach

Flynn always knows how to open a book! #24in48

I‘m loving The Alliance right now!

I love a good grammar joke!

I‘ll be spending my summer in my new hammock with a book

I‘m considering teaching a comedy to my AP literature class. They just finished Othello, and they loved it. Thoughts? #aplit #apliterature #apteacher #teachersoflitsy #shakespeare #williamshakespeare

Continuing my Jane Austen run #janeaustenproject

Let‘s se what Louisa Clark is up to

Yes!

I seem to be on an Austen kick lately. My goal is to read them all before the year is out. #janeausten

I had the pleasure of meeting Frank X Walker back in my undergrad days. #riotgrams #signedbooks

I can‘t seem to put this book down. I think this is my favorite Stephen King

Purple and royalty. #riotgrams

Currently reading #riotgrams

My shelfie #shelfie #riotgrama

My favorite—Jane Steele—and least favorite—Wide Sargasso Sea—both happen to be inspired by Jane Eyre. #24in48

Alphabetically arranged #24in48

I persuaded my parents to buy this book for me in high school since I had a cat named Oliver. I have yet to open it. This book has been on my shelf for almost 20 years. The good news is that it is in prime condition! #24in48 @24in48

As an English teacher, I had a lot of options for this challenge. However, my favorite book-to-screen has to be Pride and Prejudice. The 2014 the Great Gatsby and the 1996 Romeo and Juliet were very close runners up. #24in48 @24in48
