@BookwormAHN I‘m mailing you one tomorrow!
#hgpbc #teampennywise

Tonight was open house. I was hoping to do some reading (I don‘t get a lot of parents for open house) but I had more than usual. That being said I‘m loving this book. I will finish tomorrow. I sure hope they resolve this mystery! Pic of my animals. Because

I love stationary of all kinds! Especially small journals that I can carry with me. Good luck on your launch @sisilia #philosophia

I‘m in the need for funnies today. ‘Scuse the language.

#sundaysurvey

Sooooo this just isn‘t the book for me right now. I‘m in the mood for a mystery or something spooky. May just have to do the movie for this. Don‘t throw things!

Yay! Perfect for an October read! I can‘t wait! Thank you soooooo much Jessica!

Look what arrived! #justabookswap

@monalyisha #witchpleaseswap
Cute!!!

In the mail! @TheBookKeepers #justabookswap

So I do a contest at work to see who reads the most. This is my total for this six weeks! Edit: this is my all time total. Six weeks was 3000 pages.
I think the last concert was Morrissey
Bad habit - picking my fingers
I kind of started AHS. We will see.
I really want to read this book!!!
@MinDea

1. I would be fine with trying new feminist poets
2. I keep it very up to date!
3. Any of the three if I don‘t have to fix it (hint: Starbucks gift card)
4. Both! Milk and white for the chocolate!

My cat is intrigued by the cauldron flavored skittles I got today. A package may be going in some swap boxes...

Speed reading this because my hold for Crazy Rich Asians just came in from the library....and trying to make my bed side feel a little Halloween!

I have been up since two am and it has been raining steady since then. It‘s now 4:30. A rain day sure would be nice.

I have a 15 year old daughter who is so difficult. She causes so much stress and anxiety with me and her brother, who is 17. Any suggestions on books to help deal with teens? Specifically teen girls? I‘m desperate. Here she is during one of her better moments. I love her so much but I‘m afraid she‘s really going to have issues with relationships in her future if I don‘t help her understand how to treat people.

Horror!
Either if someone else makes them
Journals and pens and bags
Sweets
Spooky and cooky
Hair pins I guess?
Spooky journal!

I‘m going to go with Haunting of Hill House but there are many others.
No way I can choose a fave scary movie. But movies about ghosts and possession usually work.
Halloween of course
I don‘t like Harry Potter

1. Yes
2. I‘d say 5 to 1, 5 being fiction
3. I prefer non-fiction books about sexual assault, women‘s issues, and memoir
4. Probably The White Album by Joan Didion
5. I‘ll Be Gone in the Dark

1. We moved in August!
2. Trying to keep my eyes open. Soooooo tired.
3. Fave time to read is at night
4. Not friendly with neighbors.
5. Remedy for bookslump: read book I KNOW I will read fast

#AllTheFall
1. Chai
2. Neither...I‘m from Texas. No more heat!
3. Cake
4. Owls
5. The Munsters
6. Stephenie Meyer

#TuesdayTidbits #ThisorThat
1. Either!
2. Neither. But if I had to pick, Harry Potter. Don‘t throw things at me.
3. Both!
4. Coffee if someone else makes it (Starbucks or Dunkin)
5. Stephen King
6. @WhiskeyMistress

1. Usually horror
2. Mostly mood unless something is pressing

Forgot to review this. I didn‘t like it as much as How to Hang a Witch. Mainly because I didn‘t get WHY the bad guy(s) is/was doing what they were. I do love Samantha and Alice and Elijah and Jaxon. I love that little imaginary world in Salem. Looks like the author is beginning a boarding school series which I can get behind. Overall a pick, but not as good as the first. If you like the Titanic you probably will love this.

My goal is to finish this by the end of the long weekend. Fingers crossed 🤞

Signed up! Can‘t wait! #readthemoviesswap

I emailed you. I mailed the package on the 23rd. She posted she already got it. Just wanted to let you know.

Bad news at the podiatrist. Jelly beans and reading required.
