This wild ride of a book is heading your way today or tomorrow @TheAromaofBooks @bookandbedandtea

These will be on their way to you @TheAromaofBooks
Getting a jump on them because I go back to school next week. I liked the tagged book 📕 @bookandbedandtea #travellingthrills

Im sure some of you have been there but I was just in the Livraria Lello in Porto, Portugal which is dubbed one of the most beautiful book stores in the world - cost 10 euro to get in but it was beautiful. The rumor (which isn‘t true) is that JK Rowling based her Hogwarts library on it bc she had lived in Porto. Even though it‘s not true - still fun to pretend and appreciate how pretty this little store is. 💕📚

This was a really good mystery! And fun to read in the summer even though it takes place in Finland in December. Always prefer to read about cold while it‘s hot here!
It‘s on its way to you tomorrow @TheAromaofBooks @bookandbedandtea

How is it that I‘m only on chapter 7 of this book and want to put my head down and sob (but I‘m at work so need to put the book down instead and read and home! )
This man has such a way of writing - it‘s incredible to me… and his instagram posts are hysterical too!

#travelingthrills @TheAromaofBooks

Here are some choices - let me know if any sound good.

Getting this one ready to send to @TheAromaofBooks -
Sarah check your email when you get a chance… I emailed you for your address.
Thanks for picking this @bookandbedandtea - fun choice! #travelingthrills

Can anyone tell me why certain words in this book are in bold type? Or is it just my copy - which happens to be large print from the library- I‘m so confused. Am I missing something? Picture of an example..

Just letting you know the book arrived today! #travelingthrills @bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks

@TheAromaofBooks your book from the last round and the next book will be on its way to you by the end of the week! @bookandbedandtea #travellingthrills

Finished up both of these for #auldlangspine - liked the Rachel Incident but really liked the woman on the ledge… but 2 good choices! @MallenNC @monalyisha

@bookandbedandtea the books came today!

Finished one more for #auldlangspine
Good page turner - had me guessing what was going to happen til the end! @MallenNC @monalyisha

Any of these sound good? @TheAromaofBooks @bookandbedandtea @robinb (just looping you in) Links to the books below ⬇️

I had mixed feelings about this one - I found the story of Hattie McDaniel fascinating and heartbreaking… I definitely felt angry and sad at times at the blatant racism she had to endure - my issue was the fact that it was written in first person… for some reason I felt that her internal dialogue was just too much. Overall I‘m glad to have read it and learn about her life - thanks for putting it on the list @MallenNC #auldlangspine @monalyisha

Next up for #auldlangspine
@MallenNC @monalyisha

So this really weird thing has happened the past month - I have been randomly reading books with similar themes at the same time… started first when I read the first two during winter games and they both had women battling addiction to pain killers, finished those and moved on the next two which were relationship based and had magical realism, and now the last 2 which deal with missing teenage girls. I‘m not sure how this happened - not planned ⬇️

Thank you to @StayCurious and @Lise for hosting this years #wintergames
As usual, it was fun to be a part of! Happy New Year to everyone!
#teamchacha

My Goodreads goal for 2025… added 5 books from last year! Here‘s hoping for a good reading year!

Next up for #auldlangspine

@MallenNC @monalyisha

Finished my first book for #auldlangspine and last book for #wintergames2024
I really liked this one but was a little bit disappointed with the end but overall it was an interesting read.
 @MallenNC @monalyisha

I overachieved my goal of 70 books this year - happy with this total. Now to decide my goal for 2025!
Happy New Year 🎆

I know it‘s not officially January #auldlangspine but the library hold expires in 7 days so starting this one a few days early before it disappears from my kindle. @MallenNC @monalyisha

Thank you to @Megabooks for my great #jolabokaflodswap package! I read your email before I opened the package and was so excited to see the book (and chocolate!).
Thanks again and thanks to @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing this great swap. Can‘t wait to read tonight!
Happy Holidays! 🎄🎉💕

My #jolabokaflodswap package is going to the post office tomorrow and on its way to the Midwest from NY! @MaleficentBookDragon

My #jolabokaflodswap package arrived.
Can‘t wait til the 24th to open it! @MaleficentBookDragon
I can‘t remember who sent it to me - but if you are checking it‘s here!

I enjoyed the first book in this series so much I immediately downloaded the second - and it‘s great for lots of word search points! I know I‘m missing at least half of them! #wintergames2024 #xmaschacha @StayCurious

This list looks great! Think I‘ve only read one or two of them already so excited to start going through them and can‘t wait for January! 🎉📚
Thanks again for organizing @monalyisha and looking forward to reading @MallenNC #auldlangspine

Up next for #wintergames #xmaschacha
I recently read Elin Hikderbrand for the first time and liked her - I always thought she might be too mushy, romance for my taste but the one book I read didn‘t seem so - so hoping I like this one!

This broke my heart a little this morning…. But it‘s so true! I once read the slowest breakup you will ever have is with your son - my son is now 15 and I feel this every day 😞 even though I know it‘s the right thing.
I find it an amazing part of reading when an author find the words that hit you right to t he heart ❤️

I haven‘t posted much this year - but this is one of my favorite parts of Litsy so reposting the sign up link.

Finished this early this morning before work! A little crazy! I‘ll get it back to you as soon as I can get myself to the post office. Sarah - hope you got the book I mailed a few weeks ago - I think I forgot to post it here.
@TheAromaofBooks @bookandbedandtea
Also - this was the last book in the round? Do we want to do another round or take a break? Im fine whichever way.

@bookandbedandtea the book came today! @TheAromaofBooks I‘m running a little behind - I‘ll have it in the mail by Friday!

I did a search for good but underrated mystery books and these sounded interesting - let me know what you think j @TheAromaofBooks @robinb @bookandbedandtea

The book came today @robinb
Of course I‘m running late with mine @TheAromaofBooks but hope to get it in the mail by the end of this week or latest Monday.

Saw the coolest thing in Oslo Norway this past week- a phone booth which is pretty rare to@find these days but inside was a free library - Genius!! Saw a few of them around the town and loved it!

My current view in Bergen Norway. So beautiful here but we head out tomorrow. Reading this book that takes place in Copenhagen which was our first stop on our trip…. Love reading about place I know or have been to… anyone else?

This is coming your way - going to the post office tomorrow @TheAromaofBooks
Was a bit of a slow start but stick with it - picks up and I enjoyed it #lmpbc
@robinb @bookandbedandtea

Took a while for this one to come in from the library holds but excited to start this next one off of the #auldlangspine list from @kspenmoll @monalyisha
