January 2025 Book#5
Hard to believe that book with that cover would have many triggers: physical/sexual abuse. London XlX, family try to survive their extreme poverty environment with an abuse, alcoholic father who try to sell his daughter. Sylvia try to escape this world, try to find true love. My opinion is that story try to romanticize John‘s behavior who could be seen as a controlling person to justify his love for Sylvia? Abrupt happy ending?

Gissy 2.5/3⭐️Free translation “The End Of Winter” #BookSpinBingo #18 (book in Spanish) #ISpyBingo (face) @TheAromaOfBooks 2m

Book #5 of 2025: “Stardoc” by SL Viehl

This book is one of my oldest possessions. I‘ve had it since 1999 or 2000. The first in a series that saved my life. I haven‘t read it in over a decade but it stood the test of time. I love rereading an old favorite ❤️

Oh, I love a good tale set in a marsh! There‘s just something about marshlands that screams horror, and boy did this collection bring the horror! In Marshland Horrors: The Cellar Door Issue #5 edited by Aric Sundquist, we get some wildly dark fiction that delves deep into the horrors that haunt the depths of the swamp.

#1 and #5 for me. I love the look of case laminate hardcover and I like listening to audiobooks while I'm making a meal or cleaning.
I actually commented on one of the books I own because of its amazing cover! (Assassin of Fire and Sacrifice by Mary Mecham)
Do you have a favorite?

TiredLibrarian The print options are all good for me. I only read ebooks when I'm traveling or have ARCs, and I have trouble focusing on audiobooks. I'm old school with my books 📚 🙂 1mo
monalyisha 1 & 5. I like to snuggle in, which is easier to do with a (trade) paperback. I‘m also no fan of deckled edges (looks cool but the pages are too hard to turn). And I don‘t know how I‘d ever survive my commute without audiobooks! 1mo
bellabella @monalyisha I agree on the deckled edges! 1mo
bellabella @TiredLibrarian That's a good thing to be! 😊 1mo
rwmg #3 and #4 I have nothing against hardbacks except they're heavy and difficult to carry so paperbacks are the way to go.

I agree deckled edges are a tool of the Devil. The first time I saw them the book was in a sale and I thought it was being sold as a defective copy.

Thanks @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday & for the tag 💖🌺💝.

1- Household DIY projects...seems neverending, yet we're having too much fun tackling.

2- St. Valentine's Day. Just because I'm single, doesn't mean I skip out on a reason to eat some chocolate 😂🍫💝.

3- Found the Captain Planet DVD collection at Walmart a few months ago, and I've finally had time to watch while we work on our DIY projects. A childhood favorite 🦸‍♂️🌎💍💝.

4- Litsy, always grateful that I've found this wonderful community 🪄📚💝.

5- There is an important decision I must make. I'm giving myself the weekend to decide. Without getting into details, whichever direction I select feels like a good decision either way. I just need to make sure the road I pick is the road I need to be traveling 🧭💝.

#5joysfriday #1. Happy Valentine‘s Day #2. Loving the ACOTAR Buddy read #3. Mona Lisa is coming along #4. I got ‘diet coke‘ nails - to quote myself - a French manicure with chrome base and red tips #5. Sometimes AI is god tier bonus #6. It‘s a long weekend with more snow forecasted and I just want to read and be a sloth

Aims42 I love all your joys, especially your nails! So cute!! 1mo

If I had to pick one, I would pick #5... all the above. Although that wouldn't work with #4. 😭
But I would really really love to have #4. What are libraries for but for being there when you go into debt for buying too many books? 😁 I'd walk to the library every day if I could, especially if it meant entering a book like a portal.
