#BarnesNoble

This is my most recent acquisition in my small, but beloved, collection of Barnes and Noble Leatherbound Classics. This was a no-brainer as the three books that are included easily rank among my favorite Christies. All are standalone books that don't feature either Poirot or Marple, they are all considered either classics or Christie ranked them as a personal fave & they all feature one or two memorable #malicious characters.

Booknerd222 There should be more books like that that have 3 of her books in one, like the first three books of the Hercule Poirot books 3y
vivastory @LeahBergen Aren't they wonderful? 3y
vivastory @Booknerd222 I don't own it, but there's an edition with Orient Express, Roger Ackroyd & Curtain 3y
vivastory @Booknerd222 I forgot they also released an edition with Death on the Nile, ABC Murders & Five Little Pigs 3y
Laughterhp The only one of those 3 I haven‘t read is Endless Night. I‘ll have to look it up! 3y
vivastory @Laughterhp It's great! If you liked the others I think you'll def like it 3y

This is me right now. I went to Barnes & Noble today to take advantage of their 50% sale. As I was stepping up onto the sidewalk two big guys busted through the bookstore‘s doors yelling and shoving each other. One accused the other of stealing and they kept this up as they rounded the corner of the building. I‘ve rarely been around physical violence so it was all shocking. My nerves couldn‘t take it so I went right home sans books. #BarnesNoble

britt_brooke OMG. That‘s ridiculous. Sorry you had to see that. I would‘ve left too. 6y
Julsmarshall I‘m so sorry they ruined your trip 😥 6y
RavenLovelyReads Yikes! You‘d expect that at a bar not a bookstore. Hope your evening gets better :) 6y

CouronneDhiver Oh Laura... that‘s awful 🙁 I‘m sorry that they messed up your shopping trip. Maybe try again tomorrow instead? So ridiculous 6y
Lreads @britt_brooke @Julsmarshall @RavenLovelyReads @CouronneDhiver You are all very nice. I understand being in public means all sorts of things can happen but at the bookstore? And it‘s the only bookstore around so it‘s not like I can go anywhere else. 😔 (edited) 6y
RavenLovelyReads No- this shouldn‘t happen at a bookstore. I can‘t imagine walking into that alone, with a friend, or my children. It should have been handled in a different way. 6y
CouronneDhiver People act so dumb sometimes. It shouldn‘t leak into an intelligent place like a bookstore. 😂 I think those two got lost... took a wrong turn and missed the gentleman‘s club or something 6y
Lreads @RavenLovelyReads I agree with you. Even if I was with my husband I would have still been rattled although he can usually help me feel safe again. 6y
Lreads @CouronneDhiver Dumb people are not something I go to the bookstore to find! The fact that this Barnes & Noble is attached to a large mall doesn‘t help because so many people use the bookstore as a highway to get to parking lots. I also don‘t think those two men qualify as gentleman! 😑 6y
Linear Hmm, is there something wrong with me. That i would have simply side stepped them and continued on with my walk into the store for books? Where i lived before in Savannah, the B and N was attached to a mall. And yeah most people would just walk through to use the cafe and get into the rest of the mall. It was kind of annoying going through foot traffic. 6y
Lreads @Linear I can only speak for myself. I have severe Anxiety. 6y

The Victims' Club by Jeffery Deaver was a quick but enjoyable read. This is a Kindle Single and I couldn't find it in our list of books, so the tagged book is different 🙂

Humidity matters! 😅 Somehow I‘m sitting out on the porch swing in this horrid weather. This goes in streaks in MN, so we do get a break from it. But I keep repeatedly wondering how you Littens in other parts of the world manage it for long periods. It makes me so lethargic and unmotivated, and the air conditioning is so stinking cold then. 😂

InLibrisVeritas I live in GA, and humidity is completely normal here. Some days it feels like you are underwater. I am pretty used to it though and prefer the summer. 6y
InLibrisVeritas Being cold, even slightly cold, makes me super sleepy. I prefer warmth of any kind, even the suffocating kind. 😅 6y
Tamra @InLibrisVeritas I suppose you acclimate, but it would take me a long time I think. 6y

knittedgnome I'm in MI and it's like that here today too. Yuck! I hate the humidity but don't mind being warm. AZ weather was better than this!! 6y
Tamra @knittedgnome must be a big system. I see it‘s supposed to break by tomorrow. 🤞🏾🤞🏾 (edited) 6y
robinb I was raised in Mississippi and now live in Alabama, and I have NEVER acclimated to the humidity. 🤣 I prefer what little cold we have. 6y
Tamra @robinb I feel for you. 6y
SilversReviews It is hot here in Pittsburgh today too, but low humidity. I have been outside for most of the day. I LOVE the heat. :) 6y
Reviewsbylola That‘s about what it is here. It feels like I‘m stepping into a sauna when I got outside. 6y
robinb @Tamra 🤗🤗 6y
Tamra @Reviewsbylola yes, sauna is an apt word 6y
RebelReader Glad I‘m in AZ right now. 98 degrees but only 15% humidity so feels pretty darn nice! 😀 6y
Tamra @RebelReader I‘d trade you! 😆 98 in the shade when it‘s dry is just fine and when the sun sets....ahhhhhhh. 6y
SaraBeagle Humid in Omaha too- we had heat advisories all weekend. Just miserable 😓 6y

For all my preparation, I was not prepared for a power outage on this 100 degree day! Shutting down my devices to save power. I don't do well in heat. That's why I live in Portland! 😬Carry on, Littens! #LitsyPartyOfOne

**Update** Power is back on! 🎉

Mimi28 Aaaawww!! Be safe!! Hope the power returns soon!! ❤️❤️ 7y
slategreyskies Can you sit in the car and read with the AC on? Hope your power's back on ASAP!! 7y
RealBooks4ever @Mimi28 @slategreyskies All is well! Thank you! 7y
