Don‘t cha just love maps in books?
#botm #maps

Overall a pick for me. I've always enjoyed Fiona Davis' books because she goes into the history of each building she writes about. And there's always a mystery to boot. But I do wish the author would “show“ more than “tell“ in her books. Her writing is a bit stiff. Maybe if this was written in first person it would be better.

I honestly almost gave up on this book several times. I was so confused on what was real and what was the make-believe world. Pirates? Not really my thing, but ok. The second half was better and made things a little clearer regarding what happened during the twins' childhood and why Mirrorland existed. Overall, not a very satisfying read, but thank you #NetGalley for the opportunity.

When you borrow a book you already own. #libraryfail

I‘ve been following different bullet journalers for a few years. I know I don‘t have the discipline to start and maintain one- but I still thought some of his ideas were beneficial and would work in my Hobonichi Techo (which I absolutely love using) 😉

Currently listening to this gem and - aha the ebook is on sale on Amazon. 😁

#currentlyreading and loving it! Cannot wait for the mini-series to come out. 🎶🎶🎶

What a great feel-good book! Books, trivia, planners, cats - yes, please! I‘ve never related more to an introverted bookish character. ❤️❤️❤️ #Netgalley #arc

I wasn‘t going to read this, but then the movie came out.... So far so good. #blameitonnetflix

WOW! What a great story. I think this is one of the best books I‘ve read in 2018! 💕💕💕

Emily St. John Mandel came to speak at our #onecityonebook event. She was delightful to listen to. Here she is signing my copy of Station Eleven. No, there will not be a sequel and yes, a tv series is in preproduction.

I‘ve always wanted to do this with a book. 😂

Anyway, although it didn‘t have the WTF ending as Behind Her Eyes, I enjoyed it nonetheless. I found it fairly fast-paced and engaging. #botm

I had high hopes for this one. It started out promising; the first few chapters were like the Handmaids Tale. Then it went downhill after that. None of the characters were very likable and the plot was thin.

At the HPB Sale and here‘s my pile so far. Any I should put back?

I loved this book! In the 1800s West, Jess was raised by her father and brother. As a teenager her brother leaves. After her father dies Jess decides to leave her home and search for her brother. In order to travel alone she must dress as a man. She had been taught to shoot when she was young, so she is hired as a sharpshooter for the authorities trying to find her outlaw brother. Great book- highly recommend! #wildwest #arc #netgalley

I love maps in the front of books 💕

My son bought this for me a while back, and I finally got around to reading it. Very strange and twisted -but yet so sad. I‘ll be thinking about this one for quite a while.

I read the book and listened to the audio at the same time. It‘s more fun that way. Love all the little snippets as well as the longer stories.

Love, love, love. Kind of raunchy, kind of sassy - and a whole lotta fun, Toots!

“...he is was just a lowbrow mug who wouldn‘t know how to treat a member of the gentler sex if she smacked him upside the head with a sack full of vaginas.” 🤣🤣🤣

Just finished this for book club. Two sisters (one seven, the other 15) are separated during the bombing of London, WWII. They go through extraordinary lengths to find each other. Highly recommend if you like historical novels.

1. A few hours ago I found out that I have a torn retina. So tomorrow morning I‘ll be going in for laser surgery. ☹️
2. Donuts for the win!
3. Just 1 - A Gentleman in Moscow
4. Yesterday hubby and I got some fried chicken from Lee‘s Famous Recipe and ate it in a local park. Had to enjoy the nice weather before the rain. 😃

Fantastic read! I loved the Count and all the secondary characters. Will have to read it again a bit slower next time though. 💕💕💕

I‘ve read and loved “You” and “Hidden” so I was excited to read this. I was not disappointed. The character development was spot on, and I loved the different perspectives that brought the story alive. I hope there is a sequel because I just love her writing!

I missed the #ohiomeetup but had fun anyway at the #ohioanabookfestival. I‘ve been wanting to read this book and luckily (but not literally) ran into the author.

1. Summer 🌻
2. Fiction but starting to read more non-fiction
3. Book Club - I love our book club! Wine and brownies at every meeting.
4. Both and audiobooks too!

#Caturday nite! #catsoflitsy

It was a cloudy day at the beach so I had to add a sun sticker. I‘m finally getting around to reading this. What‘s taken me so long?

When in Savannah, I just had to pick up this book. Looking forward to reading it.

Here is a “card” on trello that is opened. You can add any info or notes you want. The labels can be called anything you want. I‘m thinking about changing some of them. I hope this is a little clearer @catsuit_mango I use the due date as the finished date.

Does anyone use Trello? We use it to organize projects at work, so I tried it to see if it works for a book log. It‘s free too. Trello.com. 😁📚

I had to listen and read this one. I really enjoyed it - what a great storyteller. I‘m looking forward to reading more of Jo Nesbø‘s mysteries.

I enjoyed her honesty and thought many times, OMG I do that too! I listened to this at work. I don‘t recommend doing this. I laughed out loud too many times. 😂

Friend, you must read this thriller! A newlywed couple is invited to join the Pact. They think it‘s all fun and games until they break some of the rules because they didn‘t read “The Manual.” Some of the punishments are really out there and extreme. I really liked the two main characters, Jake and Alice - and the book is told from Jake‘s POV which is refreshing.

15-year-old Ellie vanished on her way to the library. Ten years later her mother meets a man who has a 9-year-old daughter that looks like Ellie did at that age. Told in different perspectives, this book is very creepy, disturbing and also heartbreaking. A real page turner - I couldn‘t put it down! #thenshewasgone #netgalley

I really enjoyed this novel. It resembles a time-travel story, but it‘s not. Tom has a rare disease that allows him to age only one year to a normal person‘s 15. So that means he‘s over 400 years old. I loved the flashbacks to Shakespeare‘s time as well as his stint with Captain Cook. It‘s a very different type of book - historical fiction, science fiction, romance, and mystery rolled into one. #arc #netgalley

Congrats on your 200k milestone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ And thanks for such an awesome giveaway. @britt_brooke #MonstersGiveaway

Don‘t you wish sometimes we could bring the old language back? 😂 #currentlyreading #insults #arc

There are several of these books out there with different Hollywood stars. I snagged these two at a used bookstore. #moviestars #hollywood #mystery #oldbooks #usedbookstore

This was not my favorite of his. But it was ok I guess. #audiobook

The beloved Acorn bookstore in Columbus is closing after 25 years in business. They have so many treasures. This one caught my eye. Need a new ‘do?

I‘m always a sucker for books about books or bookstores. This one did not disappoint. Great characters and a few good twists. #mystery #booksaboutbooks

This is a fast paced mystery and very character driven. It kept me interested the whole time, and I really liked how the story developed with the different points of view.

Being a kidney recipient, I have mixed feelings about this one.

A little late to the party - but this was sooo good. What a great way to end 2017!

Finished this gem today. Luna approves. #catsoflitsy

My son and his friend exchange books every year. This year he received this one published in 1931 his friend found in a used book sale. It‘s illustrated by Dr. Seuss. Examples of boners (misinformation): a bamboo is an Italian baby, and a corps is a dead gentleman, a corpse is a dead lady. 😂

Merry Christmas, Littens. Thank you for being an awesome group! I‘ve enjoyed reading your recommendations this year - many I wouldn‘t have tried before. #blameitonlitsy

L - Lilac Girls
I - Interview with a Vampire
S -Station Eleven
A - A Discovery of Witches

This wasn‘t as easy as it looked. 😀Too many choices.

Very fun and colorful book that celebrates Dia de los Muertos, new friendships and family.

I really enjoyed the Dollhouse by Fiona Davis, so I was excited to read this. I love stories where the building is a main character in the story. This book flips between the 1880s when the Dakota was being built to the secrets uncovered during a renovation in the 1990s. I‘d love to see pictures of the inside of this place.
