$0.99 on kindle today. A colleague told me about this months ago, but I never got around to getting a copy. I fixed that today.

I haven‘t read a lot of Stephen King, but of the books I have read this one is my favorite. I think this is the third time I‘ve read it.
Gigi didn‘t appreciate being bothered.

2. The wedding meal of the tagged book comes to mind but there are plenty of shared meals in it.

Well my books finally came in. It was around 5:30PM and I was already in my pajamas (jammie time comes early in my house). I didn‘t feel like getting dressed to walk across the street to the mail box so my participation in the #GNreadathon is limited to today only.
I like that these two books are color coordinated.
Edit: this is a #blameitonlitsy book haul 😂
@AvidReader25 posted a review of this one months ago. I think it‘s time for me to dive in.
so-so2/4⭐️
I tend to enjoy the beginning of true crime books because it deals with the life and history of the players and sets up the context of the crime. I invariably lose interest when the investigation narrative starts. The same was true for this book as well.
Started this one last night. I forgot how much I like this book.

Is it sad that this is the exact same image I shared a couple of weeks ago? My husband and I are definitely creatures of habit. So the same things are bringing me joy.
1. Reading!
2. Chinese take-out
3. Litsy (always)
4. Fall weather and a cozy sweater
5. Listening to a good audiobook
If you are reading this I tag YOU.
Two more for the #HauntedShelf #Wordswarch.
From China Rich Girlfriend: GLOW
From The Witch Of Blackbird Pond: FLUFFY
(I‘m tracking points on the official tracker)

My daughter and I are wanting to do a reading retreat in June 2025. We are thinking 2 nights in Nashville (the halfway point between the two of us). We are thinking of staying near Parnassus books. I would welcome any advice, tips whatever.
1. No. That‘s my husband‘s job. According to him I pick crappy candy.
2. Puritanical, superstitious people

I‘ll be spending the #hyggehourreadathon with Nancy Drew, China Rich Girlfriend and my audiobook. I‘m starting a little early and I‘ll probably read for more than an hour. I‘m just drinking water. Feeling relaxed and grateful for the day off tomorrow.

Bob Snell, Ben Wooster…I swear I‘ve seen these names in Nancy Drew before. 😂 Ok. Maybe not really but I do find the surnames in Nancy Drew books interesting.

Oof. I knew I was going to be the points slacker but I didn‘t think it would be this bad. 😂

Lunch has been consumed. Errands have been run. Now it‘s time to hit the books.

A cute cozy. I enjoyed it but not enough to keep going with the series.
There were a few words from the #HauntedShelf #WordSearch but alas it would be difficult to log those since it was an audiobook.
Question for @PuddleJumper and @Jadams89 -I am keeping track of my points on the Google sheet but not really in these posts. Should I also be keeping up in the posts? I‘m just finding it easier to go back every few days to track points.
“Nancy,” said the voice on the telephone, “you are wanted in New York City!”
#FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl
I‘m spending my weekend with Nancy. I missed the last two #NancyDrewBR books. I don‘t want to miss this one!
#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii
1. Reading
2. Hubby did Chinese takeout on Tuesday
3. Litsy always brings me joy even if I‘m not super active.
4. It‘s finally starting to feel like fall (at least in the mornings.
5. I‘m enjoying my audio book while coloring with the Happy Color app.
I really don‘t know who to tag…

I have read this book several times since the early 1980s (when I first read it) and it never fails to entertain me. I hate that I lost my childhood copy (which had the best cover IMHO).
It was also pretty good for the #HauntedShelf #WordSearch I found four more words for a total of 9.

“I was burdened by the litter of centuries, left around to be stared at by us modern strangers. I wondered what would be left to speak for our twentieth century after all its bombs and wars.”
Pretty deep for a book with a 5.7 reading level.
“I‘m happiest when I don‘t indulge in outrage.”
My first book from #AardvarkBookClub arrived today! I can‘t wait to read it!

I really enjoyed this. Quick read. Aside from Nick and Rachel, I was also interested in Astrid‘s story. I‘ve put book 2 on hold at the library. Hope it comes in soon!
I was inspired by @AnnCrystal to make a bookmark for the #HauntedShelf #WordSearch. I think I was bound to find this word considering the book 😂

1. Getting all caught up on my grading.
2. Watching TV with my husband.
3. Reading!
4. Getting some much needed quiet and alone time (no yoga involved, but some mental ohmmm.)
5. Catching up on writing some letters for #LitsyLove
My current audiobook had lots of options for the #HauntedShelf #BookScavengerHunt but I went with “candles”.
Still haven‘t finished reading a book though. 🙄
@PuddleJumper @Jadams89 #FrightClub
Yesterday I managed to get points for “orange”. Today I‘m going for knitwear. Maybe I can try getting points for, you know, actually reading before the month is out 😆

@PuddleJumper @Jadams89
So I‘ve been stalking #aardvarkbookclub for a couple of months but nothing ever really appealed to me enough to join. That all changed today 😂
Does this count for orange in the book cover scavenger hunt?

Here‘s my recommendation for #HauntedShelf. If you are looking for an easy read in Spanish with a spooky vibe, this is a good one. If you don‘t read Spanish I know there are dual language editions and you can just read the English. Very atmospheric and creepy.
#FrightClub @PuddleJumper @Jadams89
1 and 2 I had my students doing a project this week that involved some drawing. We listened to Spanish language songs, many of them recommended by the students. It was just a nice time. My students are so talented!
3. We got rain from Hurricane Helene. My plants will appreciate it. I feel for my neighbors to the east though!
4. I got to read every day this week!
5. My husband and I are really enjoying The Closer.
#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii
Oh look at me actually getting something posted for #HauntedShelf
Here is my way too ambitious TBR. I‘ve got the first semester of school reading slump blues, but maybe some of these reads can get me out of it.

@PuddleJumper @Jadams89
This is the pick for my book club this month. I‘m enjoying it but the meeting is on Thursday and I‘m on page 65. I just don‘t think I‘ll get it done in time. I‘m seriously considering a book club hiatus. The school year is off to a great start but I have an extra prep this year and my time is too precious for reading that feels required.
It‘s true. I like self-help books.
I am not the most observant Jew by any means, but I have decided to incorporate more Jewish practice into my life. I‘m starting with taking time for Jewish books. I have started setting aside Friday nights and Saturday for these books. This one isn‘t long and could easily be read in one day, but I am going to read one chapter a week.
#whimsicalreadsbookclub
I‘ve really had trouble getting into this one, but I just got to chapter twelve and I‘m almost hooked.
