Was looking in my phone and found this gem that my 3 year old took this week and it made me laugh. Pretty much our house, just books from everyone everywhere. #toddlerreading #botmbuddyread

Had a moment of panic when I saw my son playing with my bookmark! 😳. Luckily he was kind enough to leave it open on the page I was on 😂🤣😂🤣 #toddlermom #botmbuddyread

This one was a bit slow for me to start. But I like the early reveal and thought I had it figured out, but not quite. So a great twist for me and a solid finish. Plus when you get a little #ssdgm and #fuckpoliteness you can‘t go wrong go for me.

I enjoyed this one. It was oddly slow but engaging. Even though I predicted the big twist, it was still well done so I didn‘t mind. My criticism is that some of the story lines felt unfinished which led me to believe that they were just inserted as a distraction to the main twist. Overall still think it‘s a worthwhile read.

Per usual when it comes to a Percy story, an exciting and entertaining read. This one was much more tense then priors and a touch more gut wrenching. I‘m sure the conclusion will be even more harsh given the optimistic ending of this one...but I bet it was also be fantastic.

Still great the second time around. Enjoying the accompanying #botmbuddyread discussions as well. Looking forward to Sunday!

Let me tell you, being a huge fan of Evelyn Hugo as well as classic rock, I was super pumped for this book. So when I was about twenty pages in a friend accidentally gave a spoiler. I was so upset I had to put it down for a few days. But I picked it back up and pushed through. And while I knew one thing that happened it still was a fantastic read. You can‘t really soil the complicated relationships. I‘m looking forward to seeing the show!

Um...guys!!! Per tjenkinsreid‘s IG. I love adaptations...so I‘m in! #botmbuddyread

Loving the mixing of these two worlds. Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Here we go...again!!! Marked up and ready to re-read for #botmbuddyread (post it idea blatantly stolen from @Mitch ). One of my favorite reads of last year so not a stretch to force myself to reread 😂🤣📚🥰

I would recommend this to anyone, even if you don‘t listen to the podcast and aren‘t into true crime. It‘s the CO-memoirs of the hosts of the podcast, My Favorite Murder and it is laugh out loud funny as well as empowering. Yay mental health and feminism!

Here we go!

This was such a fascinating read. She tells an incredibly descriptive and detailed history about the Los Angeles library and the fire that almost destroyed it in the 80s. In doing so you get a comprehensive look at how libraries have evolved and their impact on society. I‘ve been recommending this to anyone who is a history buff.

Cause I don‘t have enough to read...I‘ll start another. I‘ll be here just carrying all my books. Thanks @Whimsical.Curiosity (and Hilary) 😂📚

Not a bad view while I try to catch up on some reading...

When you find book recommendations in the book your reading 😂🤣🤘🏻

Just read the introduction and already laughing out loud!

I very much enjoyed this book. So many twists and turns, back and forths. Some I saw coming, some were surprises. A tough one to put down, as it was quite a ride and completely satisfied with how it played out.

And this is just so the LA I picture 😂😎

I‘m loving this book already. Had no idea about this fire and I‘ve visited the library in its current form. Heartbreaking but the level of detail has been fascinating.

This was my first experience reading Chuck Palahnuik and much like the women of this world, I‘m hooked. The detail in this book created a bizarre scene that only added to the quality of satire. A complicated look at feminism and sexuality.

1. Beautiful You (not quite finished but of the books I‘ve read, this is definitely my fave)

A little napjail reading

Glad to have gotten over this Everest of a book. Will save my thoughts for #botmbuddyread

Love this quote about love ❤️

This line made me lol...literally 😂🤣😂🤣

“...but your mother believed that children were much braver than they were given credit for. She said that childhood was a frightening time and that hearing scary stories was a way of feeling less alone.”

Something about this spoke to me. Maybe the idea that children are constantly underestimated or what, but I loved this.

Middle of the road for me. This was a phenomenal world and fantastic creatures. But ultimately the story was slow for me.

Two of my favorite things! ☕️📚❤️

I just couldn‘t get behind this one. The subject matter of her past was too much for me, I almost put it down when they finally got to the scene of retelling what happened. The storytelling was all over the place which ultimately made for a quicker read, but I wasn‘t really a fan. However, did love the line about not waiting for a man to save the day. Marilyn was the only redeeming character in the book.

I told myself no more #BOTM until I catch up on my reading list...but COULDN‘T pass this one up! So excited 🥳

I was pretty meh about it for the most part. It picked up in the third part and I was interested in what would happen. But then it veered left and got a bit too ridiculous for me, completely losing me at the end. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Meh for most of the books. But that cliffhanger and it‘s hard not to love Percy.

Checked out our local library today. They had a lovely children‘s section with computers, a playhouse, and books galore....it‘s looking like we‘ll be spending a lot of cold weekend days here!

Merry Christmas to Me!!! Thank you @Whimsical.Curiosity We were catching up on the tea this morning. So yummy!

“...mortal minds could believe just about anything - except the truth.”

I shouldn‘t be surprised that the serial killer telling the story is crazy. For whatever reason this one‘s mental illness is disturbing and made for an uncomfortable read. There were some funny moments, but mostly it fell flat for me. I pretty much figured what would happen about halfway through and from then just made slow to go. Right at the end it picked up, but by then it was too late for me. Guess they can‘t all be winners.

I‘m really struggling getting through this book (not exactly enjoying the ramblings of a severely mentally ill person)...however, this line made me lol.

I enjoyed the main story. The writing is beautiful as expected from Moyes. The remainder of the book is short stories, slice of life kind of stuff. Not really my thing but wasn‘t bad.
