Just finished #thingsyousavebook #tysiaf #arc thank you @StMartinsPress for this opportunity; this isn‘t my typical genre of book but when someone takes the time, money and effort to send a free ARC reading it is the least I can do. But I really enjoyed this book - couldn‘t put it down for the last half of the book. It‘s both light and deeply significant, a romance but with a fresh plot and perspective. I give this a solid 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@Jerdencon Thanks for inviting us to share in helping you accomplish your goal, and your generous drawing. You‘ll be at 49k in no time! #49bdaygiveaway
An early happy birthday to you! 🎂🎈💐📚

I‘m excited to start reading this advance copy - thank you #stmartinspress 😊📖 #thingsyousavebook #tysiaf

Another great book from Krueger: 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

My next book. 📖 I‘m almost caught up with this series - book 17!

Another great book; this was written from a 1st-person perspective by the protagonist so it had a different feel from other books. A solid 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for this one.

Next book I‘ll be reading. I‘m so thankful for libraries that lend Kindle books. 📚📖

Another great book from Krueger - and the next book in the series has become available from my local library so I don‘t have to wait to start in on the next adventure. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for this one.

I‘ve read all 3 of her books now and Jane Harper is an an amazing author. This book (more than the others, to my recollection) really excelled at character development. I can‘t wait to read whatever she writes next. A solid 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for sure - couldn‘t put it down for the last half.

Just starting this library book that became available.

I enjoyed this book, not as much as others, but I still recommend it. The author tried some different approaches, which I found interesting although perhaps distracting. I give this a solid 3.5 rounded up to 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m just starting this, but I‘ve enjoyed everything this author has written (I think that‘s about 13 books so far); this is what I hope to read this weekend.

Loved this - 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I have yet to be disappointed by this author; a solid 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a lovely book, both the content and illustrations.

This was a quick, fun read. I loved The Thirteenth Tale when it came out years ago, and I‘m looking forward to reading her other 2 novels.

I‘ve been having a hard time reading the last few months so it took much longer to read this than it should have but it‘s a lovely book - honest and inspirational, I look forward to reading it again (and I never read books twice with all the books waiting to be read). Five 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for this one.

Another 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 star book from Krueger, and I‘m on my way to request the next book in the series.

Krueger never disappoints; this book made for a great weekend of reading. I‘m giving it 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and I‘m on the waiting list for the next book in the series.

My first author/book signing event I‘ve attended and it was great. I was able to read an advance copy which made it even more fun to hear her read from her book, and then buy a copy to be signed and I‘ll get to read it as a genuine book; my advance copy was only on my laptop but I couldn‘t put it down and finished it in less than 25 hours - excited to read it again as a luxuriant hardcover 📖😊

I‘ve been in a reading slump lately; I hope this brings me out of it.

Another book today - amazing! #24in48

One of the books 📚 I‘m reading this weekend. #24in48

One of the (library) books I‘m reading this weekend #24in48 #challenge

I‘m enjoying this one - short, easy to read chapters, nice to read a chapter or two at a time and contemplate; it‘s not a book to rush through.

Listening to this as a library book (and it should be available in 17 weeks if I‘d rather read it); so far it‘s as magical and wonderful as I remember The Thirteenth Tale was (and I‘m enjoying the narrator with an English accent).

You can‘t go wrong with Mary Oliver; this isn‘t a favorite book or collection but it‘s still beautifully written and lovely to sit down with. And now I have a collection of her poems as a Kindle book I can take with me.

Wow - this was darker and more intense than I anticipated, having read about 10 of his book in the Corcoran O‘Connor series, but it was hard to put down. A solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+ for this one

I love Backman‘s books, but I have not been impressed by his short stories. I think there are only 2 books of his I haven‘t read now (Ove and sequel to Bear Town), and they are marvelous. His short stories seem more sedate and pedantic, but because I love his books so much I will always give him the benefit of the doubt and read anything he writes.

Interesting ... I‘m not sure I‘d fully agree but there is something to what he says.

Perfect timing: I finished Britt-Marie was Here just before it was repo‘d by the library this morning and now this one just arrived as available this afternoon. I can‘t wait to see what Backman does in this book.

Quirky, refreshing, humorous, heartwarming, laugh-out-loud funny and preposterous - everything I‘ve come to expect from a Fredrik Backman book ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I met Britt-Marie in a previous book and I‘m only 10% into it so far, but she‘s hilarious (without meaning to be); Backman has such a gift for descriptions. His books are like a drink of cold water on a hot summer day after mowing the lawn with a push mower - I just sink into them and enjoy them so much.

This was different from other books I‘ve read, and I did enjoy it. The author combines humor with his own experiences to offer encouragement for people to not give up on their dreams. I give it a solid 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Krueger is an amazing author - I‘m waiting on the next library kindle book 📖- glad there are several more ahead in the series. 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, maybe 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I saw the author interviewed on a late night talk show- had never heard of him or this book but it sounded interesting and it‘s available from the library - I‘m looking forward to reading something I know nothing about.

Looking forward to another Wm Kent Krueger book 📖 in his series 📚 thankful for 2 libraries that between the two carry the entire series 🎉

This one was just riveting - I read at night until my eyes just wouldn‘t stay open and I had to read the same paragraph 3 times before finally admitting it was time to sleep. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for this one, and looking forward to the next one in the series. 📖

Another enjoyable book from Krueger. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really enjoy this series - already have the next book in the series downloaded on my Kindle from the library. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I enjoyed this book. It‘s a collection of short stories so the fact that I took longer than usual to read it wasn‘t a problem. It had been on my TBR list for years so I‘m glad I read it, but I absolutely loved her book that will be published in early 2019. This one gets 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and I look forward to more books from this author.

This author excels @ describing a world the reader truly enters & becomes a part of. I‘d have enjoyed more of a compelling plot, as I found myself wanting to pick up the book & finish it before it was due back at the library but not being that captivated by the storyline to really want to keep reading. In the end I did plow through it and finished it before it was repo‘d by the library. I like this author (previously read G in Moscow); 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just finished this after being on a long waiting list at the library; it was worth the wait - couldn‘t put it down! Intriguing plot and characters, realistic character development and progression- can‘t wait to read what this author writes next. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Congratulations, @4thhouseontheleft - WoW! And thanks for inviting us to share in your giveaway event. I can only dream of attaining this milestone.

I am so over the unreliable narrator genre - I think it‘s the literary world‘s new Macarena or Gangnam style. That wouldn‘t be so bad but the author just seems to repeat the same stuff over and over with not much substance. Some of the subplots injected some interest, and I have to give credit for the unexpected twists and turns (some bordering on unbelievably so). I give this 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ but I‘m not sure I‘ll read any of her other future books.

I think his books keep getting better - intrigue, thought provoking plots, suspense - I can‘t wait to read the next one in the series. A solid 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

How fun!
🎃 Hand out candy, although it‘s been a while since I‘ve had the opportunity to do this.
🎃 I like both!
🎃 I‘m not sure - I‘m not sure I care for scary but I do like suspense/thrillers and the book is always better than the movie.
🎃 I‘ll tag @ads0123 😺 and @JenlovesJT47 and I‘ll say the tagged book is my favorite scary book (only SK I‘ve read)

Happy Halloween!

Wow - this was an amazing book. In some ways it seemed unbelievable and in some ways I found it strangely familiar - sometimes both at the same time. This is a powerful memoir of a young woman who faced some significant challenges in her life and how she responded to them, demonstrating courage and compassion.

5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
