Eh, this book was a tease. And kinda icky at times, but not in a hot way.

This has been on my TBR for decades and I‘m so glad I finally got around to it. It was absolutely delightful.

This is always delightful. I forgot how much I absolutely adore this book.

This was an excellent follow up. Everything I wanted it to be.

Reread to prepare for The Testaments. It was still so relevant.

This did not age well. I loved this book when I was younger. And the only reason that I gave it four stars instead of 3 was because Jane is such an amazing heroine. But the men in this book are terrible.

This is one of my new favorite #classics

Excellent! Now it‘s time to reread the Parasol Protectorate.

Gail Carriger creates a delightful world with characters that I adore.

Excellent! So compelling and disturbing. I can‘t believe it took me so long to read King.

I‘ve been on a Gail Carriger kick lately. I do enjoy her books so much.

Oops, I loved the first book so much that in my eagerness to start the second, I forgot to post it. This was so much fun.

I am finding the Finishing School series absolutely delightful. It reminds me why I love Gail Carriger so much.

This book should be required reading in our schools. It is an important perspective that every person should read. #audiobook #45of65

I‘ve gotten a little behind on posting my books. I‘ve also abandoned all reading challenges because life is too short and my TBR is too long.

This book was a lot. But it was also excellent. It‘s the first King I‘ve read and now I want to read more.

This was a good middle grade book. It provided a good picture into what life is like for a girl in a Muslim country, but ended with an optimistic sense of agency.

This was excellent. An important voice in the Muslim feminist movement.

A friend gifted me Their Eyes Were Watching God and I‘ve been waiting read it for a while. I‘m most looking forward to it.

I didn‘t get to everything I wanted to read last month. But I did get to squeeze in a Dresden File book.

#Libby hold came in today. #CurrentlyListening

Finished Litsy Season Challenge for spring:

7. NIGHT-ORIENTED TITLE
8. CLI-FI
9. INDIGENOUS AUTHOR
10. FEATURES A MUSICIAN
11. SOCIAL MEDIA FOCUS
12. FOOD OR BEVERAGE ON COVER

The Marrow Thieves was my favorite. Very interesting and well developed story. #booked2019

This was #justforfun and I loved it! #40of65

I‘ve been wanting to get back to this series for a while! #currentlylistening

This was not good. It was so homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic. It reads like it was written 10 years before it was. On top of that it‘s full of plot holes and boring tropes.

#SocialMediaFocus #Booked2019 #29of65 #audiobook

An engaging story with complex characters. Baszile created empathy and understanding for unlikable characters.

#SugarInTheTitle #PopSugarReadingChallenge #38of65 #audiobook

So far I am enjoying this so much more than my first pick for #SugarInTheTitle prompt #CurrentlyListening #audiobook #Libby

This was very good. Overall it was a good memoir of a punk who also is trans.

15 minutes into this book and I just can‘t. I don‘t often abandoned books. But this one is not for me.

I‘d seen someone say somewhere that they didn‘t care for this book and was prepared to dislike it. So I was even more pleased when I absolutely loved it. I can‘t wait to read the next in the series. Butler‘s Tale is fascinating and the characters are rich and complex.

#SetInSpace #PopSugarReadingChallenge #36of65 #audiobook

I‘m so excited to read Tranny. It‘s been on my TBR for a while now. #JuneTBR

I didn‘t read as much as I hoped to in May. Hopefully I can catch up in June.

The Marrow Thieves was a clear standout. While the New Jim Crow should be required reading, I absolutely adored The Marrow Thieves. Honorable mention also goes to The Power.

#May2019 #MayWrapup #MayReads #monthlywrapup

I‘m behind on my TBR for May. I might not be able to finish this today, but I‘m going to hopefully get a least a good chunk of it done! #CurrentlyListening

Overall I enjoyed the story. It is well written. But I found the portrayal of Lily‘s abusive father problematic.

What better way to spend this holiday than with a good book. #audible #currentlylistening

This was a compelling story with a nice mix of mythology and romance

Starting the new week with a new book! #currentlylistening

One of my childhood favorites!

#MakesYouNostalgic #PopSugarReadingChallenge #32of65 #audiobook

This was excellent. The story itself was compelling. But the way Alderman flipped societal gender rolls on this head was incredibly interesting.

Spending the afternoon cooking and listening to this childhood favorite. #currentlylistening

Spent Mother‘s Day planting our first vegetable garden.

This #Libby hold came in a month early. Woohoo! #currentlylistening

This book was so moving and powerful. There wasn‘t a single piece of it that I didn‘t love. Dimaline‘s writing is beautiful and the story was so gripping.

#IndigenousAuthor #Booked2019 #31of65 #audiobook

This book should be required reading for all Americans. There were so many things I knew, but to have the pieces all connected was a profoundly eye opening read.

Sunday brunch and a book

I‘m only about a tenth of the way into this book and it is so mind blowing. #currentlylistening

Eleanor and Park was a touching story about first love. #LocalAuthor #29of65 #audiobook
