Most of my night has been trying to make this book a less appealing pillow. Not having much luck

First time #botm! I normally hem and haw for days before buying anything but as soon as I saw the Into The Water promo for #bookofthemonth, I pulled the trigger. Can't wait!

Bookshelf vs cat shelf

If anyone's in NYC this weekend, Hulu has a really interesting art installation at the High Line! It's there through Sunday

I'm drowning in Kindle purchases and it's wonderful

Ever do that thing where life has not been going well for your character and you have a feeling it's only gonna get worse so you're too anxious to pick it back up? That's where I'm at right now

Amazon's Cyber Monday ebook deals are crazy, guys

When I needed a book to thoroughly distract me from this horrible week, Paul Tremblay had my back. I loved all the different mediums centered around this one tale of exorcism (TV show, blog, memoir), providing so many details and angles and only ending up with more questions. I could have done with a longer ending but then again, I always feel that way.

Reading this particular book during this particular election was not my best idea. It seemed more a story about how misogyny and a patriarchal society shaped one girl's life than a reimagination of the inner workings of the Mason cult. It wasn't what I expected and the ending felt flat but the cutting observations on society are absolute gold

"That was part of being a girl...The only thing you could do was smile from the corner they'd backed you into. Implicate yourself in the joke even if the joke was always on you."

Y'all, this book is depressing as hell

Finally get to read this! Unicorn filter because this is a magical moment

Sophie Hannah strikes again. This is a really fun mystery read. Lots of suspense and it has a great story-within-a-story aspect that I loved

I call this Reading By The Sea. Alternate title would be A Really Pleasant Way To Spend An Evening

I picked this up a few years ago while I was on a short story collection bender and absolutely fell in love. I can't praise it enough #booktober #diversereads

"Worries are pack animals as well as cowards: too flimsy and insubstantial to do much damage alone, they signal for backup. Pretty soon there's a whole gang of them circling you..."

Lord give me strength to not run out and buy this right now

I'm a little embarrassed I waited this long to read a Nora Ephron book. I have most definitely been missing out. This made me laugh, cry, and stay awake til I finished the whole thing

One of my biggest literary pet peeves is unnatural dialogue and this book had stilted conversations for days. But I still loved it. It's weird and interesting and reminded me of a fairy tale. Plus I was insanely jealous of Barb's apartment (minus her awful doorman)

There was so much weight in this, sadness and longing and regret. I couldn't put it down

I'm finally starting this and I can't even tell you how excited I am!

Don't judge by the cover, judge by that beautiful edge 😱

#TBT Omgggg Catherine called Birdy! Clearly, I loved this book. Karen Cushman is fantastic @PennyNotSoDreadful

OMGGG
If anyone's a Kindle reader like me, Amazon is doing some amazing deals on bestsellers today

My phone's almost as excited about this release as I am

As good as everyone said it'd be. A rich, full meandering tale of two lives.

Line that is still sticking to my bones: "In they'd come, integers; out they came, squared."

Yaaasssss I finally get to read this! The hype has been driving me crazy!

Is it just me or would this make a kickass literary tattoo?

Dang, Liane Moriarty is killin it with the book-to-movie pipeline

Halfway through, I still didn't understand any of the characters. The main character is meant to be mysterious but I didn't get anyone. It was tiring to not know if someone was being reasonable or overreacting unless the narrator explicitly said so. Maybe my cross-cultural reading skills need work

I would have thought that reading a thriller from just one perspective (of the one woman who absolutely does not want to uncover the truth, no less) would frustrate me, but it was fantastic and balanced. Great read

Nine books later, Sophie Hannah finally releases her grip on me. If you like TV crime drama, this series will fit you like a glove

#oursharedshelf killing it with the book choices. I read this at the recommendation of my sister years ago and it was an incredible eye opener. This story is told beautifully and the illustrations are amazing

What I wouldn't give for a Wizard of Oz embroidery

If books are food, this series is a bag of Cheetos. Not the most nutritious but so tasty and you keep eating them til the horrifying realization that a) you ate the entire bag in one sitting and b) you want another bag right this second

I'm a sucker for a thriller, so I ate this up. My only complaint is it was over too soon

A surplus of Salinger!

I love how ominous this cover is. Perfect for this book

The real tragedy: I almost didn't see this

"It was lonely being the only one who knew how I was feeling, to not be stored in the mind of someone else who could remind you who you were"

Started this book yesterday morning on the train and couldn't sleep til I finished it last night. It's a beautifully told story made of different snapshots into so many interwoven lives over time. I loved it.

There is nothing more lonely than an action taken quietly on your own, and nothing more comforting than doing that same quiet action in parallel with fellow humans doing the same action, everyone alone next to each other.

I think this was the only "If You Liked Gone Girl, Try This!" book that actually delivered. I couldn't put it down.

I laughed at this cover but then I realized I would secretly love a Tim Burton version of P&P

Ryan so engrossed in At Home that he totally doesn't notice me taking pictures like a creep. Coffee book dates are the best

So pumped for this!

"The rights of man" was one of the great phrases of the French Revolution, but it's always been questionable whether it included the rights of women.

Short and baffling but some killer lines. My favorite part was actually the end acknowledgements: Flynn thanks George R. R. Martin for asking her to write him a story. Fingers crossed Amy Dunne makes her way into Westeros soon

Whenever I read Tartt on my Kindle, I'm constantly checking to see how much of the story I have left. There's so much nail-biting mystery that I'm sure it'll all come crashing down in the next few pages. She keeps that suspense up the whole book
