Day 2 #20in4 #Readathon

Only had time to read for an hour yesterday. Read six stories in Tiny Nightmares.

This was a good, quick read. I love his descriptions of food in these books. A nice sequel to Dandelion Wine.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a reread. A very enjoyable novel.

📖 In Progress
Dandelion Wine - Read the first fifty-two pages.
The Rite - Read six more chapters. About halfway through.

#WeeklyForecast

Will be working on finishing these this week. Haven‘t decided what I‘m reading next.

✨I‘m a big fan of David Lynch. I got some good tips from this book. After reading it, I forced myself to sit and get into the habit of meditating once a day and it helps me feel much more positive and creative.

✨I‘ve been ready for autumn since the end of winter.

✨I didn‘t do anything exciting this summer. This is a photo I took of a rainbow after a heavy thunderstorm.

#ThoughtfulThursday

Random bookish items. Puzzles, mugs, bookmarks, home decor, apparel. Journals.

#LittensWantToKnow @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Dandelion Wine (Ray Bradbury) - General Fiction. This is a very enjoyable reread. It‘s been a few years since I last read it.

The Rite (Matt Baglio) - Nonfiction/Religion. It‘s a very interesting book about a priest learning to become an exorcist. I read it once a while ago.

Doll House (John Hunt) - General/Horror. I‘m not sure how I feel about this one yet.

1. I would choose somewhere around New England/Maine.

2. Probably some of my Stephen King.

#Two4Tuesday

I like writing, coloring, diamond art, puzzles, baking, meditation, watching movies/series, trying to figure out my Tarot/Oracle decks, video/board games.

#LittensWantToKnow @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I can‘t stand not finishing books. If I‘m reading a book that‘s really thick and I find myself wanting to read other books, or a Kindle book that isn‘t always holding my interest, I‘ll take a short break and read something else or read a chapter a day until I‘m done. I always want to know how it ends. I‘m usually pretty good at picking books I think I‘ll like.

Doll House (Kindle) - Read three more chapters. %24 finished.

My August wrap up. Finished eight books. 📚🌻

📷: Google Images

Starting both of these today.

I‘m notorious for rereading books. If I really like a book I will read it many, many times. I‘ve probably read The Eye of the World, Pet Sematary, It, The Shining, Cujo, and The Hobbit at least five times each. I have other favorites I‘ve read two or three times.

#LittensWantToKnow @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I honestly don‘t know. I have unread books I bought at Walden‘s while I was in middle school that I still need to read. A couple of those are Jacques Cousteau The Ocean World, and King Arthur and His Knights by Sir James Knowles. For years I had a habit of buying a small stack of books at a time and not reading them all.

#LittensWantToKnow @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

1. Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
2. The Eye of the World - Robert Jordan
3. A Game of Thrones - George R. R. Martin

Also, anything by Sarah Addison Allen.

#LittensWantToKnow @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

#20in4 #Readathon Wrap Up

▪️Got thirteen hours of reading done.
▪️Finished Blood Pact, Prince of Darkness, and Angels on Fire.
▪️Read a few chapters of Doll House on Kindle.

The Night Circus, Angels on Fire, the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series, the Sonja Blue series, The Weaver Trilogy, any Sarah Addison Allen book, and many other books I can‘t remember at the moment.

#LittensWantToKnow @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

1. Angels On Fire

2. This is a favorite book. I like the New York setting. I like that it centers around art and creative types. I like the way the author portrays the Angels and Daemons, and Heaven and Hell. I love the story and the author‘s writing style.

#Two4Tuesday

I always have a hard time remembering all the quotes I like. I only recently got into jotting them down. I do love this quote from the book I‘m currently reading.
