I love Jennifer Ryan‘s books - especially when I need some happily ever after. That‘s not to say there‘s never sorrow or loss in her book, but there‘s always hope in the end. I discovered this other WW2 era book that uses the same stock photo. Both books were published this year.

LinesUponAPage My next reading choice. Thanks for the suggestion! 2y
Aims42 The same stock photo being used is hilarious 😂 I guess once it goes to print there‘s no turning back lol 2y

The Ellery women have always had magic and they have used it as a positive force. Daisy‘s abilities manifest in being able to infuse her baked goods calm, confidence, and even death. Through a referrals only process Daisy assists women in getting justice or in ridding themselves of abusive men. She struggles with whether or not she is using her power appropriately. . More feminist than I expected. I loved this book!

I‘m looking forward to reading this! I received this from @Aims42 as part of the #recipeswap exchange. Funny story - it‘s the May selection for a reading challenge I‘m participating in! I can‘t wait to try the soup recipes since the PNW spring has been wet & cold. @BennettBookworm

LeahBergen Nice! And I love soup recipes. 😊 2y
Aims42 Yay, perfect timing for you to receive this book, it was meant to be 😁 I hope you enjoy the soup recipes, they‘re so nice to just throw everything in and a few hours later *BOOM* dinner! 2y

Libro.fm is having a great audiobook sale! These books were all $5 each. There are lots of great titles and you can support your local independent bookstore at the same time. I had the tagged audiobook from the library, but I‘m enjoying it enough that I think I‘ll want to listen to it again at some point.

I admit to being a Mira Grant/Seanan McGuire fangirl who is finally getting to this series. This is a well built world with interesting characters. This won‘t be everyone‘s cup of tea considering the last 2 years, but I appreciate the research she puts into her books. I also love her sense of humor - danger seeking bloggers are called Irwins & the MC is named for George Romero.

Cherish Farrah: A Novel | Bethany C. Morrow
post image
Mehso-so

I have really enjoyed other books by Bethany C. Morrow, but this one didn‘t stick the landing for me. This was a creative idea but Farrah‘s inability to see what was happening & her lack of curiosity bothered me. I‘ve seen it compared to The Other Black Girl, but I enjoyed that one more.

AWahle I also took exception with The Whipping Boy being called an antique when it was published in 1986. 3y
Megabooks Then I‘m older than antique!! 😂😂 didn‘t care for this one either. 3y
AWahle @Megabooks I was sad I didn‘t like this more because I was so excited when I first heard about it last year. At least it was interesting enough that I didn‘t DNF it. 3y
BookLineNSinker I'm older than it too!! The idea of a modern day whipping boy has so much potential but it was done so poorly and was so unclear. It's also hard to believe Farrah's parents were that checked out but I guess I shouldn't be in this day and age. I had many issues but I kept turning the pages! 2y

Mira Grant (Seanan McGuire) is an automatic buy author. I can count on my husband giving me Subterranean Press editions. When the rifts open Susan is on the side of a reality she recognizes; her sister Katharine is stuck in a twisted, dark version of our world. Susan becomes a scientist to study the rifts and search for a way to reach her sister. I loved this & would welcome more stories in this world.

This book was fine. The library aspects were fascinating & I‘d be interested in nonfiction about rare books. I don‘t mind not liking any of the characters but I really disliked Leisl. Her decisions & behavior drove me crazy.

This is a fascinating look at how the Home Ec I took in high school came to be. There is so much more to it than I ever knew. My grandmother was a Home Ec teacher. My grandfather was a County Extension Agent - a career that owes a lot to Home Ec. Pics are from a 1943 textbook I found at a used bookstore recently.

Sleeping Beauties | Stephen King, Owen King

Ugh. Please don't bring me a book to borrow unless I request it because then I feel obligated to finish it. I am halfway through and I just don't care, but the coworker who brought it in for me expects to talk about it. There are so many other things I'd rather be reading.

LeahBergen Exactly! Ugh. 😑 6y
Tamra Oh, I hate that too. It‘s also part of the reason I don‘t schedule books or have goals. I‘m a mood reader. (edited) 6y
Weaponxgirl Oh I had someone do this to me last year. It was a self published book by her father in law and a thriller of the sort I‘d never read. Read the first page “moody man, rough, rugged blah blah blah” then I randomly opened to the middle and read “she sighed as he played with her flaps” I couldn‘t stop myself from cracking up right there! 😬 (I didn‘t read the book) 6y

AWahle @Weaponxgirl Oh my! I think I would have asked if she read it and then showed her that passage! That's the most cringeworthy sentence I've seen in a while. 6y
AWahle @Tamra I still do challenges, but in my own time & I mostly fill them with books already on my TBR. I'm a bit of a moody reader too - that's why I can have multiple books going at a time. And don't give me a 700 page book unless I asked for it! 😶 6y
Weaponxgirl @AWahle she hadn‘t read it as she isn‘t a reader so assumes that because I read quickly that you can throw any old book at me and I‘ll get straight to it. I read the passage out loud to them. 😂 6y

An interesting take on the vaccine/no vaccines debate. What happens when compromised herd immunity opens the door to a new form of measles that has devastating effects on the survivors? I don‘t want to give too much away, but it is so easy to see how some of the uglier behavior in this book could happen. I love Mira Grant (Seanan McGuire) and the attention to detail she gives to the science in her horror stories A great start to 2019!

Hard Times | Charles Dickens

I'm revising the view I've held on this book for 30 years. I hated it when I had to read it in college. But you have to admire a character who throws shade like Mrs. Sparsit. My new thought is that Dickens is best performed because I thoroughly enjoyed the BBC audiobook. This was my "Read a Book You Hated" for Bookriot's #ReadHarder2018 challenge.

I took the quiz twice because I couldn't decide if I wanted to Smash More Patriarchy or Take More Baths. Both results are good, but I really need to work on my TBR. Diversity in my reading is really pretty good.
https://bookriot.com/2018/12/05/reading-resolution-quiz

mcipher I totally went with baths and I do need to read more diversity. I‘m bad at that. 6y
AWahle @mcipher Ideally I would take more baths after smashing. Of the books I've finished this year 62% were by women, but I do need to get my # by POC higher than 20%. I didn't keep track of whether an author was LGBTQ or not. 6y
DGRachel I read over 160 books this year and this quiz had the nerve to tell me I need to read more. Not more diversely, just more. 😒 6y
AWahle @DGRachel Huh! Are you actually sleeping and spending time with your family? ? If you answered 100+ to that question, the result "Read More" should automatically be discarded. IMHO 6y

Started this on the drive home tonight. Very disappointed that Mr. Pollan began by incorrectly saying the bee working in his garden was a “he.” “A bumblebee would probably would probably also regard himself as a subject in the garden and the bloom he‘s plundering for its drop of nectar as an object. But we know this is just a failure of his imagination.” Sigh. My 7 year old neighbor would be happy to explain that the worker bees are all female.

This was my favorite type of book when I was a tween - a curse, a family mystery to solve and a brave, intelligent narrator. Ruth has been sent to live with her Great Aunt Doll in Newfoundland for the Summer. She meets her cousin Ruby and learns that both their mothers (twins) died on the same day. The girls learn about a family curse that always leaves the new generation of twin daughters motherless at a young age. Can they solve the mystery?

Traveling to the opposite coast for work means lots of reading. Finished this on the flight to Baltimore. I was interested enough to finish this story about the "Haves" and the issues they face in the Argentinian financial collapse of the 90's-00's but I'm not going to rush out and tell anyone else to read it. This fulfills my book in translation/translated by a woman for the Reading Woman Challenge.

While this look at life in Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban was fascinating, there has been a lot of controversy about the author endangering the women she wrote about. My problem was her wanting Afghanistan to bend to her way of life. She complains that Xmas was just like any other winter day and wants her husband to be more affectionate. She became a 2nd wife, but is hurt when the 1st wife gets pregnant. Sigh. It was still interesting.

CouronneDhiver I remember enjoying this book. 😊 6y
AWahle I didn't not like it. The articles about the controversies probably color my view a bit. And her (and her husband's) unwillingness to meet each other half way was frustrating. 6y

The worst thing about this book is that it is the 1st in a trilogy and isn't even out until Oct. so I have to wait a minimum of a year to find out what happens next. Yumeko, a half Kitsune girl, narrates alternating chapters with Tatsumi, the demon slayer of the Shadow Clan. She is protecting a scroll he is seeking for his master. This book was exciting & full of surprises. That said, I would have loved a glossary. Does anyone do those anymore?
