Starting @DeweysReadathon a little late because of sleeping in. But I'm ready, and for the first time this year, reading outside with my morning coffee! #readathon

I was already almost done, but at least I'll get that nice feeling of accomplishment that comes with finishing a book early in the #readathon
I think I've always skipped the forward before, which is a shame because it's really worth reading.
omg, I love Beauvoir and Gamache! I was not expecting much from this book, a typical cozy mystery, with the added benefit of being in the much loved Eastern townships, but, wow, this book was above and beyond! It's totally a cosy mystery, but also so much more. Hard to explain, but more interesting, more "deep". I am going to enjoy reading more of this series (I hope!). #cosymystery
Reading outside weather is finally here! 😁
Enjoying the first real day of spring and a old favorite. #spring #readingoutside #teenfavorite #reread
For a heartwarming story about friendship it had me crying a lot. There were many tears at the begging and the end especially. But it's a very interesting read about homelessness.

So, I don't like this book much more on the second read, 15 years later, then the first but I am curious to know where this series is going. Hopefully the main characters will be a little less bland as they grow up.
It was a fun and funny romance, I laughed more then once. I really liked that the main character was a scientist grad student. 😊 And the secondary characters were great. The conclusion/ending seemed a little rushed, perhaps.
All in all, a perfect, relaxing summer read.
"Being outwardly friendly while keeping people at a distance was second nature to Ledi. She thought of it as her social phospholipid bilayer : flexible, dynamic, and designed to keep the important parts of herself seperate from a possibly dangerous outside environment.
Love it when an author knows her #science ?
I spend so much time googling food while reading this book, and it makes me so hungry! 🤤 Unfortunately I live somewhere with very little good Asian food. 😢
This book was super fun. Not all short stories are created equal, but for the most part they were pretty good. I wouldn't mind is they did this for all Star Wars movies.
I love the tv show so much and this book was exactly like it. The Librarians and the Mother Goose Chase was short, funny and joyful. Greg Cox did a great job. I am going to take a look at some of his other books.
Great book! It's an interesting outsiders perspective of a First Nation community. But also a great story about family, love, and loss in all its variations and complexities.

It was a fun read. The story is so unbelievable it's almost ridiculous. The main character, Oliver Stone, is a little bit of a super tragic Gary Stu, but I liked the secondary main character Joe Knox. It was the first time I read a David Baldacci book; I'll probably read more of his stuff, at least the books I own.
I think outside reading season has finally started. ☀️
I'm pleasantly surprised by Divine Justice so far. It's fun and not too demanding, just what I wanted.

Folio Society books are just so beautiful! #foliosociety #newbooks #bookhaul
Been reading these since I was a child. I 💙 Snowy! @bookriot #riotgrams #tintin #milou
Many, many things annoyed me about this book. And if I hadn't decided to read it for a reading challenge and it wasn't so short, I would never have finished it. But I'm glad I did. It's not that it gets better, but it did matter to charme me. I dislike the narration, the ending is blah, but I smiled and I almost cried (in public).
Read it for my work bookclub, and while I don't regret reading it and what the author was trying to say was interesting, I found it incredibly frustrating. Reading fiction based on a real person and real events just means that I spend more time watching videos and googling things then actually reading the book. I want to know the facts, the fictional stuff just ends up annoying me.
The book Christmas tree at work, they did a great job! #BiblioAssnat #seasonsreadings2017
Very interesting! Tye did a good job of trying to explain RFK's character and motivations, as well as the political and social events happening in the 60's.
This book was loads of fun! Definitely one of my favourites this year. #scifi #somethingforsept #BestReadsOfSeptember
