Whoops my hand slipped.
Accidental book haul at the library. I felt soo bad because the electronic check out system was completely down and I didn‘t know until I went to the desk. Sorry librarians! #codenameverity #gameofthrones #vicious #theladyoftherivers #themimeorder #queenofthetearling #sarahskey #bookhaul #library
Just finished this one! Satisfied with my first summer (spring?) read! I started a book blog and I‘ll be reviewing it but this is only my second review so I‘m currently queueing things up! #daughterofthesirenqueen #tricialevenseller #livinginmichigan #poolday
well that‘s neat. also hey litsy, it‘s been a while. #dedication #betweenthedevilandthedeepbluesea #aprilgenevievetucholke #redhead
And my character analysis of the Fellowship using outdated memes. missing: Gimli: Looks like he could/would kill you, is actually a cinnamon roll.
My character analysis of the Fellowship explained to a non-LOTR fan SparkNotes style.
pickI liked this until the end when it stopped being about history and became Harvey‘s own soapbox. Like bro just tell me about the other gingers I want to know more about my awesome hair.
A magic “thousand and one nights” style dystopian western!?!?!? Only one chapter in and LOVING the premise.
pickEasily one of my favorite non-fiction books. I tore through it in three days and gained a lot of insight on being an introvert. I feel better equipped to be a quiet person in a loud world. I recommend it to all, extroverts included!
Conviction is conviction... at whatever decibel it‘s expressed.
Learning about my hidden superpowers!
It‘s dreary outside but french toast, a cup of coffee, and a good book make that easy to forget.
A little alarmist but it‘s a classic! Glad I finally got to read it. #womeninstem
I could stay up all night reading this. Amazing prose and it started a movement that still endures today. Rachel Carson is quickly becoming one of my role models and literary heroes.
I know we are going to take a very long road, into darkness; but I know I can't turn back.
pickThis is AMAZING. If you like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Dinosaur Comics, Nimona, Lumberjanes, Homestuck, or Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, this is a must read. Also features art from super awesome web comic artists and graphic novel artists.
Finally reading LOTR! The last time I tried was during my geometry class in high school with the most stereotypically boring and monotone math teacher you can imagine. It did not go well.
pickI love Jane Austen, and I think she would appreciate the silliness of the quirk classics spins on her books. However, Ben Winters' addition of sea monsters felt a little forced. There was a subtle but still jarring difference between his diction and syntax and Austen's, characters were majorly changed, and plot points added, seriously reworked, or removed completely for the sake of sea monsters. Overall a fun read but not perfect.
She slouched lower on her bench. Scratched unabashedly at her shoulder. Sat with her feet spread. Ordered whatever she wanted, without hesitation. And met every man's gaze full on when addressed.
Open your eyes, and see what you can with them before they close forever.
Biology smells like formalin and old fruit.
I'm winning this summer challenge at my local library, starting with All The Light We Cannot See. 26 pages in and loving it already!
AHHHHH THEIR FATHER AHHHHH THIS IS AMAZING AND HOW DID I NOT SEE IT COMING AHHHHHHWLMFJANDNVJWGWOFN
If any of my babies die in the final battle I swear I will drip snot and tears all over my copy of the book in angry protest.
@ amren and varian: I love you two and you scare me a little but for the love of the Mother, PLEASE get a room. glad we had this talk have a lovely day.
I think I like Viviane. I think she and I would be friends.
THE CROWN. OH MY GOODNESS. THE CROOOOOWN!!!!
I need to make a costume out of the dress and crown.
CASSIAN AND NESTA. MATES. MATES. MATES. 🙏🏻🤞🏻👍🏻
I'm totally shipping Lila with Alosa from "Daughter of the Pirate King." Two badass pirate women who were essentially made for each other.
Screaming at Rhys and Feyre when she accidentally gets past his shield and he's hypothesizing why: you 👏🏻 are 👏🏻mates 👏🏻 you 👏🏻 are 👏🏻 mates 👏🏻
Be glad of your human heart...Pity those who don't feel anything at all.
reading about feyre giving rhys the finger during her fight with the middengard wyrm in ACOTAR and knowing what happens in ACOMAF made me giggle.
whoops I stayed up way past my bedtime and finished the book in a day.
I may have finished 1/3 of this book in my downtime at work today. trying to catch up with the reading frenzy's read along, so I'd say I'm making good progress.
The power of the dance lay uniquely in the expressive quality of [Anna Pavlova's] movements and in the way she showed the expiring life force, the draining energy and spirit from a creature of great strength and beauty -Jeniffer Homans on Anna Pavlova's performance of "The Dying Swan" (goosbump inducing footage: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QMEBFhVMZpU)
Enjoying a coffee, the history of ballet, and classy coffee shop music on this wondrous spring day! PS holy wow I love this book so much and I'm only halfway done.
