Thanks to the lovely book, Mythos, and to the even lovelier Stephen Fry for writing it, this is my #weirdwords pick for today! Link to the mythological origin/story: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycaon_(king_of_Arcadia)
Enjoy! #weirdwordwednesday
Y‘alllllll this was the best! Seriously so funny, with a great mystery thrown in. Finlay and Vero are totally friend goals 🙌🏻 #readyourkindle
I was fine putting marginalia in my textbooks, and maybe literature I was reading for school, but now? It‘s hard for me to write in books (maybe that‘s why #LPMBC wasn‘t my cup of tea 😂)! Anyway, such a pretty word, hope you all enjoy! Here‘s an article about weird medieval marginalia: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/medieval-marginalia-books-doodles
So intense, so disturbing, so quintessentially Boyne. The ending was perfection. #TBRtarot
Well, I‘m stoked I was almost finished with this when the election disaster happened, because it‘s completely banana pants and batshit crazy. I definitely needed the escape! @5feet.of.fury you were right, absolutely bonkers 😳🫢😂
Special edition of #weirdwordwednesday, coming to you from someone in utter disbelief. #weirdwords 💔💔💔
Well. If this quote isn‘t appropriate for this “misinformation age” we‘re living in, I don‘t know what is 😵💫
And here we gooooooo!! The November #readyourkindle numbers are here 👏🏻👏🏻 Have fun! #readyourebooks #readyournook #readyourkobo (please note the new hashtag 😊)
Please let me know if you‘d like to be added/removed from my tag list! 📚 🤓
October favorite! TJ is beating everyone else though. And the LMP book is added as a bonus ♥️ #readingbracket2024 @CSeydel
I almost forgot, y‘all 🤦♀️🤦♀️ Here is the #TBRtarot prompt for November. Have fun!
I‘m seriously so emotional and spent most of the last chapter sobbing 😭 If you read this, do yourself a favor and listen to the audio. Riley honored her mother in such a beautiful way ♥️
Hi friends! Happy Halloween 🎃 Here is my #readyourkindle list for November and this also serves as your reminder to post your list (thank you if you already have 🤗). Happy reading! #readyournook #readyourebooks #readyourkobo
Apologies for not posting on #weirdwordwednesday recently (life ugh). Today‘s word: synesthesia 😊Here‘s the Wiki - enjoy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia
#weirdwords
Another awesome read in the Gamache series. He‘s absolutely one of my favorite literary characters ♥️ #readyourkindle (catching up 😂)
Black cat bookmark for the win! This was another hilarious and heartwarming tale from Richard Osman. Loved it and can‘t wait for more!! His sense of humor is just, perfect 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻
I did an ILL for this book based on a mention from Rebecca Makkai in her afterword for “The Great Believers.” It‘s heartbreaking but important to honor those who lost their lives to AIDS - plus honor the many caregivers who did so much ♥️ #TBRtarot
A dark, heavy, but beautiful and brilliant read. I‘m so amazed (again, as I‘ve now read all of her books) at how Rene Denfeld manages to write so poignantly about such trauma. She shines a light on the forgotten in every one of her books. Highly recommend but beware, trigger warnings abound. #readyourkindle
Here‘s a climate related word for #weirdwordwednesday 😊 Thanks to the hubster for introducing me to this one (total weather geek 🤓)! Here‘s an article: https://opensnow.com/news/post/albedo-explained #weirdwords
Holy pickles on sticks, this was creepy!! Super fast read and perfect for spooky season - dark, gothic, atmospheric, sad. A couple unresolved plot points but I can overlook that. So good! @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks thanks for sending this to me 👻😱
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!
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 ♥️♥️♥️♥️
