Grave Mercy | Robin LaFevers

This book as been sitting on my shelf for years so I decided to throw it out there for my book club to read this month. I am glad I did. All of us enjoyed it and several of us (myself included) have already binged our way through the rest of the original trilogy.

Question of the day....should I ignore my massive pile of work to do today (patron purge time) and pull this off the shelves for a read or should I actually do my work? It's a tough call 🤔😜 #librarylife #libraryclerk #oregonpubliclibrary

March wrap up. I must say I had a great reading month. I really enjoyed my spring break (almost a book a day). It was tough going back to work.

Favorites: Forged By Magic, A Broken Blade, the Blood Trials

Least Favorite: The Locked Door & the Lady Poisoners.

My goal was to knock this out over my spring break. Chapter 29 out of 46 so I am getting there. Will it be finished before I head back to work on Monday? I guess only time will tell but it would probably help of I stopped reading other books at the same time 🤔🤦‍♀️😜

How I choose to spend my spring break..hot beverages, warm blankets, and good books. I am hoping to knock this one out quickly since I can actually read most of the day as opposed to being stuck at work. 🤞😜📚

After completing only 2 of my #readyourkindle picks last month I made it my goal to do better this month and it is safe to say I succeeded. I finished all 4 picks. They were some great picks because I thoroughly enjoyed them all. I have already read the sequel to one and have the next books on hold for the others. Hopefully I can keep this momentum going.

I only read 2 of my picks last month but this month I am hoping to read more. Maybe I will even attempt the 2 picks from last month i didn't get to. I guess we shall see. 3 of these are parts of series so I may end up going down the rabbit hole to complete the series 🤔😂🤷‍♀️

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching & my goal is to only read romance books for the foreseeable future (excluding my current true crime book club pick of course). I have loved this authors previous books & am excited to see her step into the paranormal romance genre (one of my genres of choice).

5 out of 8 so far.

I am trying so hard to get the whole set but I keep getting sent the wrong covers. Just need Fragile Things, Smoke & Mirrors, and The Ocean at the End of the Lane to finish out the set.

Being a book collector & looking for specific covers/editions is hard sometimes.

Ok let's do this!! Looking forward to knocking some of my backlogged ebooks (which there is a bunch) off of my kindle.

The 1st numbers drawn were 12, 14, 17, & 18 and I can definitely get behind those picks.

The Tommyknockers | Stephen King
post image
Mehso-so

Not my favorite but definitely not the worst one of his I have read...yet. The one thing that really saved it for me was all of the easter eggs to his other works. It is always fun stumbling across them and as I read more of his work I am finding more of them scattered throughout. The King Universe strikes again!!

It's not the same size (ToD is the same way) & it is driving me nuts. My sister gifted me her paperbacks because she wanted all hardcover & let me tell you trying to complete the set for a reasonable price is near impossible so I opted for the international edition ( because then it semi matches) but may be regretting my choice 😩

You know it is cold when A.) I actually turn up my heat (I am always hot so it it usually set at 64). And B.) I dig out the fingerless gloves for reading. I am so over winter!!

1. Depends on when I am reading. If it is in the morning it is usually coffee. Otherwise it is usually water. During the colder months I like hot chocolate or hot cider.

2. I just finished the tagged book this morning between rounds of shoveling my driveway. Now onto a new book during this somewhat lazy snowday.

TheSpineView I hate shoveling. Snow is a four letter word. 😂 4mo

Since I don't anticipate finishing my current read before the year is over (it is 800+ pages & I just started it) it is stat time. I read less books this year than previously but I also read more chunksters (500+ pages) than normal so...

tpixie Great job! What‘s the app on the right? Oh - a website! (edited) 4mo
jackilynn @tpixie the one on the right is from a website myyearinbooks.com. It analyzed my Goodreads shelves and broke everything down. It actually gave me a lot more information this was just the infographic that was available to download. 4mo
tpixie @jackilynn and a lot easier to do than StoryGraph - you just need to input Goodreads!! I‘m finishing up 2 books & then will try it- thanks! 😊 4mo

October wrap up.

My goal for the month was to read spooky books and I think I succeeded.

Favorite: If We Were Villians

Least Favorite: Best of Luck

Now, on to some more light & fluffy books as a bit of a palette cleanser (well after I finish the 1 spooky book I still have).
