"No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep in swallowing."

From one Kelley Armstrong to another. I've heard this one is upsetting people that don't understand it's part of a duology and are pissed at the cliffhanger ending. I've been warned but I wouldn't have expected any different anyway.
I must say that I enjoy the short story anthologies. It's a nice departure to try out some new characters while existing in the worlds created by favourite authors, or to learn some new favourites.
Setting aside the silly tablet games to go back to my early teen years. I so loved this trilogy as a young reader. Hoping I'll find the same joy, amd maybe something new this go-round.
Loving this collection of short stories. It's nice to be able to reach a satisfactory conclusion quickly sometimes.
I've got a pinched nerve in my neck that makes my hands feel weird. So instead of doing anything productive that irritates the nerve I'm spending the day finishing book 2 of The Pledge series before starting book 3.
Loving the simplicity of reading this right now. Great story.
Time for a pallete cleanser after finishing the Glass Thorns series by Melanie Rawn. Can't really think of something more different than this.
Spent some time reorganizing and adding a new bookshelf to my TBR collection so that I don't have any more books stacked on the floor. Wonder how long this will last. I don't have any more space for shelves.
Picked up this little goody a week or so ago. Loving the simplicity of it.
Tonight's effort in trying to clean up my seemingly endless Currently Reading list on Goodreads. There's a lot of history at the beginning of this one. I'm looking forward to getting to the actual magic.
Hoping some powerful music will make this book more exciting. I am committed to reading it. At least once in my lifetime. And I'm been trying for at least 10 years. I've never been past 100 pages before... I'm at 102 today. #cheersforme #determined
Almost forgot about my new bookmark! Unexpected gifts are life's great surprises. #simplepelasures
Apparently the winner of the "What do I read next" lottery this week is Eleanor & Park.
I may need to make up a random draw system to pick what I read from here on out. There are too many choices on my TBR shelf.
This was not posed.... #cats #weird #itslikeheactuallycan #backcatsarehardtophotograph
Feeling the need for a fluffy love story. The cover fits the bill... Here's hoping the book does too.
I better make a plan and stick to it so that I don't get sucked into binge-watching Stranger Things.
Found this companion to a series I read years ago at a book sale. Thinking it should be a quick read to add to the set. #completist
Unexpected day off to go to a funeral later this afternoon. Using this morning to read in the 🌞 makes the reason for the day off not so gloomy.
Book haul from the 50% off pre-renovation sale at Book Outlet. Because what I really needed was more books for the TBR.
It's the kind of weekend where you don't care that it's 2:00 in the morning. You just finished one book and you're moving on to the last one in the series. #tiredtomorrow
Fourth book of the day. I love long weekends and laziness. Now to find some ice cream. #weekendgoals
pickIt took me a lot longer to read this than I expected, not because of the content, or the writing, but I think because I was trying to wait it out. I knew some key things were going to have to happen, and chances that they happen in this second book of the series were pretty slim. I may have been trying not to finish this one before I knew how long I'd have to wait for the third. It was a great set up for number three.
Having trouble getting through this one for some reason. It's not that I'm not enjoying it, but it never seems the right moment to read it. I feel like I may be dreading the upcoming events so much that I just don't even want to get to them.
On the other hand, I may just be getting way to psychological about my reading habits. #justreaditalready
New book and a tonight's advent tea. Perfect for a snowy night in.
pickThis is potentially the most adorably cute book I have ever read. So so cute. It just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Loved it. 💜
I just read straight through The Maze Runner series. And I thought to my self, "Self, what can I read that's different now that I'm done this?"
This seemed appropriate.
Perfect lazy Sunday morning. I'm choosing not to include my reading companion who is on the floor beside my chair after just having finished gnawing on my arm... #1yearGotchaday #stillafreakingmenace
The latest installment in the self discovery journey that is 2018. Looking forward to this one.
Loving this selection as my non-fiction choice of the moment. It's great how Trevor Noah writes just like he speaks. And his perspective on some pretty terrible circumstances is pretty amazing.
Finishing this up tonight. Helpful strategies for a simpler life. Acknowledging it is always a process makes it easier.
Throwing in a biography, just to change it up a little. My dad even read this one, and though my mom and I shame him into it regularly, he really isn't a reader.
Let love start this day
Let love end this day
Let love transform the minutes in between
Latest entry in the journey of self-discovery #lovemyself #bemyself
It's always fun to find something a favourite author has written under a different name. #whatsthesecret?
I really can't express how much I enjoy everything about Lauren Graham. She says the sinplest things in the most profound way. It's almost magical.
Still on my journey of self-discovery... Or is it self acceptance? Whatever. Still pushing forward. #lifeisajourney #nomoreshame
