This series could certainly feel like the unfolding of an epic puzzle at times. I hope Danielewski is able to continue his story someday.

This series could certainly feel like the unfolding of an epic puzzle at times. I hope Danielewski is able to continue his story someday.
This series has just been phenomenal and the season concluding book 5 brought a lot of disparate threads together. I always look forward to the textual shenanigans Danielewski gets up to and this lion in text format is just awesome!
pickLove it. I don‘t know what the future holds for this series since it‘s been put on hiatus but I will follow it anywhere. >^..^
1. Mozzarella sticks
2. 3% is only 0.75 of a book for me, and I had too many good reads this year to pick just one, so I‘ll go with top 3 (excluding rereads): The Bell Jar, The Handmaid‘s Tale, Redwood (TFv5)
3. Read at least 15 books and try to read two prompts for each of the #Booked2018 seasons.
4. Find a job
5. ❤️❤️❤️

The book came to life at the reading in Vienna. I loved hearing Mark Z Danielewski reading out the characters, it made me feel like I met all of them in person.

I actually read a lot of great sequels this year, but the vast majority were rereads...and were Harry Potter, which is obviously fantastic, so I‘m going to exclude rereads for today to make this decision easier. 😂 So, I‘m going to say the best sequel I read this year was The Familiar volume 5: Redwood. I was so excited to read this one, and thankfully, it did not disappoint.

Not as good as October, but I‘m glad I read more than two books this month. I‘m so close to finishing The Handmaid‘s Tale, but I‘m tired, so I don‘t think I‘ll finish it tonight. I‘ve really enjoyed it so far though, so I think it and TFv5 are probably going to be my two #fallfavorites.

pickI love how this entire volume takes place over the span of, most likely, 12 hours. The biggest, most anticipated meeting between Xanther and Tian Li doesn‘t take up the most pages but all of our minor characters are directly effected and end up telling the story instead. The way this story reverberates through itself is masterful. Picture from preview of Volume 6.
My reason for going to the @strandbookstore was to pick up a signed copy of the new Familiar which I missed out on getting personalized because I was double booked seeing Matthew Weiner...
Included is a shot of one of the tote tables, most of which I covet 😍
#quotsynov17 #mischief Sorry about all the quotes from the same book! It‘s a long one and I‘m pretty obsessed with this series. I‘ll mix it up soon.
#quotsynov17 #lost Anwar felt dizzy with the strange dawning, what kept dawning, far more was at stake here than one lost creature...somehow the old woman knew them.
#quotsynov17 #puzzles Sorry for the post dump! Trying to catch up on the November quote challenge I️ fell behind on immediately! 😂
Xanther drapes over little one, snugs her arms around him, like walls, of first returning a tiny corner of cashmere dryness over the even softer ripples of white fur ... hide everything but the tip of one white ear ... left like a tiny pyramid emerging from charred sand ... wondering if maybe Egyptian pyramids are just the tops of much, much bigger pyramids buried beneath the sand. #quotsynov17 #underground
I shared a picture of my Ember with volume 5 already, so now I‘ve got to share one of Phoenix who was kind enough to pose with the entire stack.

Finished volume 5 last night, and oh my goodness, the wait for volume 6 is going to be a hard one. This book was great! ❤️

The only book currently on my TBR for the month. Now that I‘ve finished my reread of Harry Potter and the other books in The Familiar, I‘m going back to reading based on my mood. My only plan is to hopefully read more than two books this month, what books those are I‘ll figure out later.

Ahhhhhh, excitement! 😃😃😃😃😃 I will forever be nervous about my preorders though. The first time I ever preorder a book on Amazon, I was incredibly excited, but when I opened the box...they‘d sent me a package of old looking batteries by mistake. 🙃 The book sucked too, so the whole experience was one giant letdown. 😂 I‘ve got my fingers crossed that that won‘t be the case this time. 🤞🏽

1. Fall leaves
2. The Familiar volume 5, unless I figure out something else I want to read now and can finish reading by next Tuesday. 👍🏽
3. Milk, but I like all three.
4. Yes, but very mildly, so it‘s not really worth mentioning.
5. My boyfriend‘s shorts
