Didn‘t read this one first but it was one I saw on Netflix that looked interesting #BookToScreen

#LosersClub #RunningMan #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader

Finished this one today on my errands. I always love #StephenKing, but again, this one hits so close to home in our messed-up world. Ugh! It's scary! Excited for this movie! #BookToScreen

@BarkingMadRead

This was a re-read for me. I love this book and it was perfect to enjoy this one with the #HashtagBrigade and @BarkingMadRead hosting :) Love this group! Can't wait for the next one!

I visited this one 7 years ago. But I figured I would listen to it for both the #LosersClub and for the upcoming movie. (Also, I needed a new #AudioCommute #AudioChore Book)

Finished this one the other day. I haven't been able to send it yet because (well, I lost my wallet, so I am waiting for all that to come in the mail - it's super annoying). Anyway probably by Wednesday. This one is between “so-so“ and a “pick“ because off the body stuff (you will see my point in the annotation)

This was a cute quick audible original that had a lot of nostalgia for me. I have been trying to better at staying away from doom scrolling - which a bit part of this book talked about how much life was simpler in 99. I agree!

Pick of a recent road trip :)

Enjoyed revisiting the Thursday Murder Club - some of my fav characters :)
❤️❤️❤️❤️

I enjoyed this #BookToScreen adaptation 🖤🖤🖤

I know this is an older series- but—- I just devoured it last week, and it was great! #BookToScreen

If y‘all have Netflix I definitely recommend.

Really enjoyed this one- picked it up because the Barnes and Nobel bookseller told me it was up my alley (based on our quick convo and other books I was purchasing) and boy was he right.

@Catsandbooks and @TheBookHippie thank y‘all for your review of this one! I had initially planned to skip September #RiseUpReads book as it didn‘t initially grip me (I‘m rarely a pirate person) but it was so so much more! 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Passed out 🐶

@catiewithac you are too kind! I‘m so excited to start this one today!!! Perfect plan for my birthday 🎂

Spent the day reading :) ❤️❤️

Another Kinsey! I love them! #NextInSeries #DoubleSpin @TheAromaOfBooks

I really enjoyed this one. I feel like I picked it up on a whim (I think it was in a used books bin), and well, I am glad I did. I really enjoyed the story and how it unfolded.

Wine, bath, aromatherapy, chocolate, hair dye, and Audio :)

Finished this one today :) I really enjoyed it and will pick up the next one as soon as I go book shopping. I will send my copy out tomorrow or Monday (errand day) 💙💙

Cozy reading with some Frankenstein Wine (also gonna work on some other books - since this one is only #ChapterADay

I enjoyed this next installment of the Nightmare AZ Paranormal Series. The books have a huge cast of paranormal characters :) This was my #ThematicCozies pick for #Paranormal, and such a quick listen, I am already done with it :)

@JulieClair

#BookSpinBingo for this month
#BookSpin - Vera Wong's (which I will finish this morning)
#DoubleSpin - Next in Series (U for Undertown - my new #AudioChore book for the day)
# September #DoubleSpin - Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore - Haven't started it yet

@TheAromaOfBooks

I received this in the mail a while back, but I hadn't had a chance to open it yet. But --- I was overjoyed when I saw this package! Thank you so much for being who you are! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! :)

@Dabbe

Had a great reading month (Well, every month that I read and listen to at least 1 is a great month :) ). Even though I don't really change my reading genre by season (as I'm already a thriller/horror fan), I saw this but - I have already gotten into other genres because of this community and book groups. I am still very much looking forward to October's reads!

I read 4 off my shelf - 2 audio, 2 physical
AND #DNF's 2 - 1 audio, 1 physical

All in all a great #SeptemberReCap :)

#SeptemberReCap

Again, I am so glad I “found“ audiobooks. I have been utilizing them for #AudioCommute #AudioReSet #AudioChores. Just to think, several years ago, I wasn't able to focus on an Audiobook.

Read my #BookSpin (Jonathan Livingston Seagull) but didn‘t even start the #DoubleSpin (Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore) yet.

#SeptemberBookSpin

@TheAromaofBooks

This is my #ThematicCozies pick for #October Paranormal Theme. It‘s a series that I started in July and have greatly enjoyed :) 👻

I enjoyed this quick cute little story.

I had decided to try 3 months at a time for these bingo boards. I did better. Maybe next year will be all cards for the whole year.

I enjoyed the first of this series but I couldn‘t get onto this one. It was more assault heavy than I remembered the first one being. I highly doubt that I will try to finish this at a later date. #DNF #NotForMe

I loved reading this book. It was just so beautifully written. I wholeheartedly believe that I wouldn't have gotten as much out if it if it weren't for my #HashtagBrigade crew (thanks as always for hosting @BarkingMadRead). Also added the CloseReads podcast to this reading (thank you again @Daisey)

#BookSpin @TheAromaOfBooks

I read this book every September (usually on the 15) in honor of my daddy, whom I miss greatly. This book always brings tears to my eyes ❤️❤️

Picture of my daddy and I, and our pup Snoopy :)

Gonna spend some of my day on this :) #BookToScreen

Just finished this one today- I thought I had a posting of when my doggie decided to eat a page, but I was able to piece it together enough. Love the unreliable narrator of this! I read We Are Liars so long ago, but I remember loving it as well. I plan to watch the TV Adaptation now :) #RelevantQuote

Started this yesterday while I was having brunch at a cafe (part of it ended up in the book!) I need to find the right snack when I am eating.

Amor Eterno - Brings me to tears every time I hear it. I personally enjoy Vicente singing it the most (because I like him the most), but of course, it's Juan Gabriel's song and Rocio Durcal brought a feminine beauty to it.

I was in a severely abusive relationship, which almost killed me (literally). Not only was this physically abusive, but it was also emotional (the lasting effects have lingered). I used to dance, my whole life, since childhood, (tap, jazz, flocorico, ballet, cheer) I danced, used to dance in our relationship, around the house, wiggle here, wiggle there, sing, play... He frequently told me I was too ugly, fat, and unworthy of enjoying my body ⬇️

My “La Loba's“ place would be a hammock on the beach. I love the sun, so during the day, I read out by the hammock, lightly swaying in the breeze (add a stand/table for drinks and snacks). At night, sleeping outside under the stars, hearing the waves. PERFECTION!

#WildWomenReading
#LaLobaWithin

Traditions ground me: didn't realize how much I rely on them
1. Dia de Los Muertos - we celebrated growing up, and my husband and I celebrate in our home
2. Tamales during winter
3. Reading Christmas Carol every Dec 1 - something I used to do with my grandmother
4. Bunuelos on NYE
5. Talking about our gratitude during Thanksgiving Dinner
6. Reading Jonathan Livingston Seagull on Sept 15 - Daddy's Bday
7. Taking the day off on my Bday - Oct 14 ⬇️

I enjoyed this book, but don't think I will continue - not my fav, it was “okay“. I do really love the idea of this little town with a bunch of cute little bookstores! I would definitely go to that town!

Zoey protecting her bone :)

On the dawn of September 16, 1810, a priest named Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rang the church bell in Dolores and shouted the words that would change history: “¡Viva México!”

💚 September 16 is not just a holiday.
🤍It is proof that nations are built by ordinary people with extraordinary bravery.
❤️ It is a reminder that Mexico‘s spirit cannot be conquered.

#VivaMexico

#AudioReSet / #AudioChores - gotta get ready (my space, clothing, food, etc) to enter into this next week of work.. So, audiobooks to the rescue!!!

Got a really manageable “To-Do“ today. Woke up with a slight headache and finishing my cycle, so not feeling my best anyway.

#ThematicCozies (Books) @JulieClair

Finished this one this morning while drinking my coffee. I enjoy this series (and to think I wouldn't have started them if it weren't for #ThematicCozies @JulieClair).

I am going to start this month's cozy today while doing some #AudioChores.

The picture is of the children behaving (only when they sleep). 💤

Took a break from school - not sure how long yet (was going for my nurse practitioner's license, but really burned out on nursing right now). I have a lot of healing to do, which involves relaxing, loving myself, and protecting myself from negativity (hard to do when you are in health care) - This group is part of this journey. Feel so much freer knowing I don't have to listen/read/work on difficult cases while I am off work. #WildWomen

Thank you @KadaGul —- you are too kind!

Lazlo decided to leave me a gift. I had been downstairs doing laundry and making a pasta salad and came stairs to this.

#AudioChores

Book Haul - husband wanted to spend time walking around town while we waited for the movie to start. Of course book store = book haul 🖤🖤🖤🖤

#DNF #July ##BookSpin

I gotta be true to myself - I can‘t read this. It‘s this 1900s murders that just were boring poisons and doesn‘t get enough into the dynamics to make me care about their stories enough. I don‘t want to read this
