Well, this was creepy! Haven‘t been as focused on reading, but if I could have, I would‘ve flown through it. Shades of Notes on an Execution (though nowhere near as good as that one), we hear from three women affected by an “Everyman” sort of guy who is actually a serial killer. Good stuff. #readyourkindle

Without further ado, I present the #readyourkindle numbers! Happy reading, friends! Don‘t forget to tag me in your posts, let me know if you want to be added/removed from my tag list, and have FUN! #readyourebooks #readyournook

Jesus Christ on toast, faces in clouds, the list goes on and on! And of course, thanks to Bones (still binging and loving), I now know there is a word for this phenomenon 🤓 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

I read some amazing books in September, but this one wins! #readingbracket2024 @CSeydel

Gooooood morning, friends! Presenting the #TBRtarot card for October - an easy peasy one! Have fun and happy reading! 🍂 🎃 🍁

It‘s almost October, y‘all (WHAAAT)! This is your reminder to post your #readyourkindle lists (if you‘ve already done so, thank you 😘). If you want to be added or removed from my tag list, let me know! Keep it casual, have fun, and happy reading 📖 ♥️ #readyournook #readyourebooks

All of the props and stars and points times a million for this one! I might have enjoyed this more than the first, which is pretty tough to beat. Hoping wishing praying there will be a third! #readyourkindle #aam #authoramonth @Soubhiville @GingerAntics

Here‘s a cool article about these: https://blogs.bl.uk/digitisedmanuscripts/2016/09/palimpsests-the-art-of-medieval... #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

Possibly a favorite of the year ♥️ I‘ve always loved Griffin Dunne (I even liked Who‘s That Girl 😂), and love him even more after listening to this. Highly recommend on audio!

@GingerAntics I‘m FINALLY starting 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Finally read this, and I‘m overwhelmed. Sadness and anger for what they went through, for the death, for the politicians who did nothing, for the hate. So many good quotes but I‘ll share just one here:
“It‘s always a matter, isn‘t it, of waiting for the world to come unraveled? When things hold together, it‘s always only temporary.” #TBRtarot #readyourkindle

Color me amazed, again, that there seems to be a word for EVERYTHING! And if you love clouds (and finding shapes in them), there is an awesome account on IG called (@) thedailycloud ☁️⛅️🌧️ #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

This was a fantastic read. I wouldn‘t call it a thriller - it‘s more of a mystery and it ticked all the boxes for this “dysfunctional family fiction” fan (IYKYK) 😳🫢😂

Okay #weirdwords nerds, this is interesting! I‘ve been saying a few of these wrong - but the fact that some people say “from the gecko” makes me giggle 😂 Check it out: Bad News: You've Been Saying These 18 Words And Phrases Wrong For Your Entire Life https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewziegler/malapropism-eggcorn-words-phrases

These words have absolutely nothing in common except, they‘re weird 😂 Plus, apparently “emunction” is now obsolete (despite describing my behavior today due to allergies 🤧). Posting two completely unrelated weird words is indicative of my mindset - allll over the place today 😂😂🤪🤪 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

I‘m so drawn to books set in remote locations, where the setting almost ends up being its own character. This was no exception! What a beautifully written book. Quiet, but gripping at times, a little mystery thrown in, but mainly asks the question: how do you keep going when your entire family is ripped away? “You didn‘t do anything wrong, Tommy. You only survived.” I loved this.

Like some of y‘all have mentioned, this was even better the second time around ♥️♥️ Thanks for joining me, whether it was your first or second (or fifth 😂) time reading it! On to the next, and I cannot WAIT 😊😊

August favorite! But James beat it ♥️ Plus I had to add Clare Pooley‘s book as a bonus, it was just amazing and hilarious ♥️♥️ #readingbracket2024 @CSeydel

It‘s #readyourkindle numbers day!! Have fun, friends! Don‘t forget to tag me in your posts, remember this is low key, and let me know if you want to be added to/removed from my tag list. Yay! #readyournook #readyourebooks

Presenting the #TBRtarot prompt for September (yes, it‘s September already OMG). Have fun, friends! Let me know if you want to be added to or removed from my tag list 😊

My #readyourkindle list for September. Here‘s your reminder if you haven‘t posted your list yet! Remember, low key, have fun 😊 #readyournook #readyourebooks

Just a quick check in! I‘m loving this list as much as the first time ♥️ Anyone else have “Beyond the Sea” running through your head? Well, if not, you do now 😂 Links to songs in comments 🌊 🌊🌊 #readtheceruleansea

Gahhh this was so good!!! I sailed through it. Misty, I understand how the time travel stuff was confusing, I felt the same sometimes! But wow, what a book ♥️♥️♥️ @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks #readyourkindle

I love Gaelic. And I‘d love to be part of a cèilidh - just the music would be worth it ♥️♥️ #weirdwords #weirdwordswednesday

My first Peter May, but it won‘t be my last! This was excellent and I highly recommend. Realized after I finished that it fits for #TBRtarot as well - based on true events (at least partly), as much of it is set during the Highland Clearances in the 19th century (a horrible part of history that I didn‘t know much about). Great murder mystery but so much more.

Fantastic read. I loved it! Thanks @squirrelbrain @Megabooks and @BarbaraBB for another fun camp! I read 3 out of 6 and they were all great. #camplitsy24

I always thought this word was super cool and fun to say 😄 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

Okay guys! Here‘s my plan: start reading this around Monday, 8/26, aim to finish around 9/10 (when the sequel drops). I‘ll do occasional check ins - this isn‘t really a “challenge,” just a low key reread (or first read). Sound good? #readtheceruleansea

Well, I might just be speechless. I feel so seen, so cherished, so important. It‘s almost as if she jumped right into my brain and pulled out parts of the main character. I predict a days long book hangover ♥️♥️♥️♥️

“Here's the thing about menopause, though, that I don't entirely understand. We'll exchange a few words like this? A seemingly slight disagreement? Only then rage fizzes up inside my rib cage. It burns and unspools, as berserk and sulfuric as those black-snake fireworks from childhood: one tiny pellet, with seemingly infinite potential to create dark matter-dark matter that's kind of like a magic serpent and kind of like a giant ash turd.”

Anyone interested in a buddy reread (or plain old buddy read if you‘ve not read it before) of this one before the sequel comes out? It drops on September 10.

I am SO late to this party, but I‘ve gotten a bit hooked on the show Bones 🦴 😊 I had to share these two words because there was this whole argument between Bones and Booth about them - especially “eschew” (which I‘ve always considered an interesting word anyway) 😂😂 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

This was JUST what I needed! I NEED this cast of characters in my life. Loved the author‘s note at the end ♥️ Must read other books by Clare Pooley at some point 👏🏻👏🏻

Scott, this was such a great read - I bought it based on your rec and it didn‘t disappoint! Celine is absolutely my kind of character - I just adore her. I wish he‘d write another book about her search for her daughter ♥️ Peter Heller fans, which of his other books should I read? @vivastory

Hi folks! Here are the #readyourkindle numbers for August 😊 Let me know if you want to be removed from or added to my tag list, tag me in your posts (love to see those 👏🏻), and most importantly, have fun! #readyournook #readyourebooks

Guys, I don‘t think I have the bandwidth to keep going with this right now. All of the geology and philosophy talk is flying right over my head and I‘m not feeling very invested 😢😢 I‘m also having a very difficult day/week/month so I‘m sure it‘s the whole “it‘s me, hi, I‘m the problem, it‘s me” 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ #camplitsy24

Best of July was James 😊 #readingbracket2024 @CSeydel

It‘s August, my peeps! Presenting the #TBRtarot card for the month - enjoy, tag me, have fun, stay cool 😊💗😃 (this can be fiction, nonfiction, whatever fits)

I was going to try to demonstrate how to say this, but it looked funny. Google has the pronunciation 😁 Cool link: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/learn/glossary-terms/caesura #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

Thank you, Francine - you and many other authors are part of why I‘m such a voracious reader today. RIP ♥️♥️

(If you didn‘t get tagged, sorry, that took forever 😅)
Okay y‘all, August is almost here (wut 😳)! Feel free to post your lists if you haven‘t already. I‘m still not reading much more than 1-2 of the drawn books each month, but I AM reading Kindle books (mood reader, ahem 😂). #readyourkindle #readyournook #readyourebooks

When you know, you know 😂😂😂😂😂 One of my IRL bibliophile friends sent this to me as a birthday funny 😁

You were worried it wouldn‘t get here on time, but it got here today ♥️ Thank you so much, Soubhi! This has been on my TBR for a long time and I can‘t wait to read it. Also, the card and bookmark are both so lovely! @Soubhiville

This was INTENSE, y‘all. Despite mostly knowing what happens right at the start, it still kept me guessing, and just….. gasping at the way people (especially on social media) treat each other. And the lengths people will go to, in order to protect their families. Just wow.

My score: 72 out of 100. How can I pick favorites - there are so many! Standouts are Visions of Johanna (Bob Dylan), Mama Tried (Merle Haggard), that whole album by Jeff Buckley (his voice gets me every time).
But then there‘s Rilo Kiley and Liz Phair and Coldplay! And you can‘t beat Prince 💜 #tlt @dabbe

One of my most favorite new to me words, from my most recent read (You Be Mother). Mostly used in the book to mean a nap (which sounds SO NICE right now). Enjoy! #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

Crappy picture, great book!! Had to finish once we got into the last half. Simone does it again 👏🏻👏🏻 #sundaybuddyread @TheBookHippie

This was absolutely brilliant. Where are my dysfunctional family fiction fans? We‘ve got multiple funky families in this one and I LOVED it. @AmyG @Chelsea.Poole #readyourkindle
Side note: I bought two Nancy Mitford books whilst reading this, because she‘s mentioned often 😂♥️

SO MANY BUTTERFLIES 🦋♥️🦋♥️ Thank you, sweet Christine @TheBookHippie

Please excuse my messy desk area 😳😂 - Misty, thank you, my friend! I‘d forgotten this was on my TBR so it was a lovely surprise ♥️♥️♥️ you‘re the sweetest 🥰 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
