I'm 2/3 of the way through and I feel like it's a poor man's Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. Anyone else feel that way?

Great find at the B&N 50% off hardcover sale.
I love Mike Rowe, he's got a fun podcast and Dirty Jobs is coming back to TV tonight on Discovery channel!

#discovery #dirtyjobs #engineer #barnesabdnoble #bn #sale

Anyone think they're reading from a writer they've read before and then realized it's a different Terry?
I thought I was reading a new series from Terry Goodkind!

1/3 of the way through and I'm not sure I like it. Someone give me encouragement!

2 b&ns and we spent so so much money! I've never bought so many books in my life!

Mostly nonfiction and kids book, for sure easier in hardcover than fiction.

Loved this 50% off sale

Ok is the man in gray Leandro or Fermin?!

The frickin origin story of the labyrinth! And isn't the stained glass a picture of a rose or am I wrong? I haven't gone back to look.

Ok I'm finished! But who is Laia? Is it the back story of Alicia? And is the house they go to the same one that Daniel goes to work the creepy old lady? I couldn't find which book that was in.

Anyone ever see a book in a series in a used bookstore and buy it as a reminder that I want to buy the whole series? Love #thursdaynext novels!

It's here! It's here! Can't wait to read it.

So interesting! And he's such a great narrator. I love his podcasts and any other shows he ends up on.
Audiobook is around 4 hrs.

#podcasts

It's coming out in English in November! Happy birthday to me. I can't wait
Or you can try your luck at the galley giveaway

I had no idea there was a #pemberlittens on persuasion! The best Jane Austen book.

My husband has been reading it to me while I breastfeed. It's a lot of time just sitting here!

Such a cool list of books! Added so many to my TBR

When you're library gets back into the hoopla system! Audiobooks, tv and movies here I come!

#hoopla #audiobooks

Finished last night and I liked it more than I expected to!
#classic #ocean #critters #pancakes #sunday

Classic tale that I feel like gets talked about in other novels and I had to track it down! You know when you just want to find a book the old fashioned way? Second hand bookshop with a shipment of classics for the win!

Can't wait to see how it is! Anyone read it before?

#gothic #white #wilkiecollins

Yay! So many more audiobooks with the addition of hoopla and connecting to other libraries! What audiobooks are you into right now?
#audiobooks

Ha! I got an email from Goodreads and saw thing and thought “wait a minute, i've read that!“
Nope, totally different book.

thanks for the follow @johncadams

Old, water damaged, basement smelling copy of Peter Pan?! I couldn't pass that up at my local second hand bookstore.

Listening to ⚾ and
Reading my new purchase. I had no idea this was a start to a series. Uh oh!
#baseball #yankees #series

Too bad I can't needlepoint and read at the same time.

So far enjoying it!
#gold #crafts #needlepoint

Yay it's here! What a gorgeous maroon color, had to filter a bit to show you. We can pretend I don't have work to do and should start reading right?
Can't wait to start!
#afternoon #coffee

2 day holiday coming up, will I get through this book? Probably not all the way but so far I'm in!

Cottage cheese matzah meal pancakes #passover and happy Easter too!

I have been waiting for Eli Brown to come out with another book and I missed it! Goodreads had to tell me by email! So then I bought it immediately! Tried bookshop.org for the first time. Super cool, can't wait for it to be delivered! #bookshoporg #bookmail

Picked up my library holds. My weekend is booked.
What do you guys think?
#chagsameach #happypassover #ilikebigbooks

You need a good cup of tea while reading this book! It was so delightful and non fiction semi-bio is not usually my jam. There was a little history on tea, British blending and how to dry the different types of tea. She awakened tea life in me when it's been dormant for a bit and now I want to go spend my money on some really good loose leaf!

(My loose leaf dealer - Gong Fu Tea in Des Moines, IA)

I rarely do these but it was right up my alley and tough!

Tagging @llcoolnate @BookBudget19

I've been rereading books in my collection to keep or give away. I really am at the point where I've read everything fiction in my house!

Finished Deception Point and Digital Fortress (DF is still the best of Dan Brown, I think) so now it's on to Robert Langdon.

Happy Purim! #hamantashen #purim #holiday

I know, I know, I'm reading it again but I had nothing in the house to read and then I got my library books and you don't expect me to just not finish it?
#4thtimessocharming #reread

Like the #piranesi #bookmark?

Anyone watching the Hustler? Look how amazing that library is!

Best time of year!

Less than last year but still pretty good. I love looking back at what I read.

I've had an account with Better World Books for years. I remember doing the bookshelf challenge in probably 2010 to get a "Well Read" t-shirt.
The best part? Free shipping!
I use it to buy lots of gifts for friend's kids that live far away. It's the best!

What book do you think I bought?

#betterworldbooks #freeshipping #mysterybook

I read this within 24 hrs. It definitely moved and kept my interest. Still loving my spooky stories 🎃🦃🎄

She did a weird thing where something new would happen and it was as if there was a pause in the story, like someone arrived in a dangerous situation but we had to pause to talk about the trees and her sweater or something? Any one else pick that up?

#mocha #biscuits #traderjoes #spooky

Tote and bookmark from Bloomsbury finally came in!
Such fun stuff to celebrate a great book.
Need to reread it really soon!

#swag #freeswag #bloomsbury #tote #free #surprise

Alright guys. I'm a third of the way through. They are recapping what happened so why should I continue? I know some people love it but I'm not getting it yet!

Motivate me! 👍

Or tell me to DNF!🤯

I gave up on this one. I was listening to audiobook and the narrator was bugging me. Main character was so angry in every scene and I couldn't listen anymore. This seems to happen with audiobooks more than physical books so maybe I'll try again in print.

Sometimes I listen to audio clip before checking out of the library but I haven't done that recently.

What did you think of the book?
Do you bail on a book due to the narrator?

#audiobook #dnf

Thanks @Arvena
1. I've got quilts made by my grandma and a 💀Jack Skellington🎃 snuggie!
2. Probably tagged book, my husband and I are reading it together.

"Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias has thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now."

I love a good map but not when the library glues the jacket to the book! I can't see the rest!

Omg when all your library holds come in!

Read it in a day! Walked to the library to return it already and forgot to take a picture so you get the picture of my finished pumpkins! 🎃🎃🎃 🏚️🌊🌊

Listening to 'Just the right book' podcast. Roxanne Coady is interviewing these two authors and this book sounds really interesting and hopeful!

Another fun #cozymystery
I never thought I was a cozy mystery person but I am! And adding the snowy upper Minnesota setting doesn't hurt.

Just make sure you don't read any Fluke books while you're hungry!

Loved it! There's a lot packed into a tiny book.

I was excited to get something new from Susanna Clarke but I also heard of her chronic illness and I understand how difficult it must be for her to create.

Yes, it's here!
So pretty!

So cute, kind of like a less spooky ocean at the end of the lane.

Library book haul!
This is what happens when I put things on hold and can't go inside the library!
What should be my next read?

Finished in a day! Really fun and interesting read that kept me guessing. Another Ariel Lawhon masterpiece!
