Listening to the tagged 🎧 #Canada and honestly not enjoying it much, but I am trying to knock someone off my most read chart so on we go!
My ARC right now is Martha Wells Platform Decay out in the states in May
NF = In Exile #Pakistan biography of the author's grandmother
Sunburn #Ireland in the 90s
And then hopefully to #ToB and #Lebanon

Characters felt pretty realistic and likable, but there were several under developed ones too.

This was really atmospheric - also relatable especially when I was shoveling snow during the days I was reading this book. And it isn't that many days ago when several of my friends were without electricity for 49 hours for the storm.

I would have preferred there being more horror elements. This wasn't thrilling to read but I still enjoyed the story.

AnnCrystal 49 hours! Yikes, hopefully that's the worst of it for your friends during this powerful winter 🥺💝💝💝. 23h
PageShifter @AnnCrystal Yep that was insane! But that's super rare so I hope that was the worst for this season. 16h
AnnCrystal @PageShifter 🤞🏼😘💝. 9h

Some of my 2026 books for #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead #USPresidents and #PROUST2026

I‘ll be reading an ebook version of Swann‘s Way so I can enlarge the font, but referring to my mom‘s BOTM copy to keep track of page count. There‘s a bookmark that indicates she made it to page 29—let‘s see if I can get farther. 😆

repost for @BarbaraJean

With the holiday chaos, I've neglected to post a #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead schedule for January and beyond...but here it is now!

We'll start with an #LMMReread of Magic for Marigold, then it's on to #LMMAdjacent reads: Elizabeth Gaskell's biography of Charlotte Bronte, and Tish Plays the Game. Then we can decide if we want to read/re-read Jane Eyre together. We'll jump back into the #LMMJournals sometime in March or April!

BarbaraJean @kwmg40 I‘ve put you on the tag list for Marigold! @rubyslippersreads I‘ve put you on allll the lists! @TheAromaofBooks Just FYI I‘ve also put you on all the tag lists 😁 2d
TheAromaofBooks You know it haha I got distracted ordering a copy of The Life of Charlotte Bronte and forgot to comment earlier 😂 2d
julieclair Hooray! Please add me to all tag lists except the journals. 🥰 2d
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks “I got distracted ordering a copy of The Life of Charlotte Brontë” may be my favorite sentence this week ?? @julieclair Yay! Done! 2d
TheAromaofBooks Well if I'm going to order a book I at least want it to be pretty 😂 Although it can backfire, as I'm still waiting for my copy of Shirley to arrive and am not sure I am ever going to catch up with the Hashtag Brigade!! 2d
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks 😂 Oh no about Shirley! And chapter a day seems totally doable but then it adds up so quickly. I always feel like I'm behind with the Hashtag Brigade because I usually read my chapter in the evening. I need to start reading one chapter in advance! 1d
TheAromaofBooks I usually do my chapters with breakfast, but there have been some books we've read where I am like... this is actually NOT how I want to start my day 😂 14h

ok - so I want to tell you about Atwood's first novel, how the second wave of feminism plays in it, but also, mainly, the humor. This is a really fun, and funny, look at a serious problem - for Marian and for the world, relevant today.

I tried here: https://www.librarything.com/work/32423/reviews/301213285

It‘s terrific and I loved it.

As I read this short novel, I kept changing my mind about where it was going. I enjoyed the unexpectedness of the story. Part of what surprised me was the of literary feeling at the start (like the descriptions of the British Columbia setting and the poignant early moments of Frankie‘s coming-of-age), and then the move into a more exaggerated, eventful story by the end.

Caryl I especially loved the letter from the author to her publisher included in the back of the Persephone edition. 💖 4d
Caryl And oh, those ominous last two sentences of the book! 😳 4d
LeahBergen This one surprised me! I really liked it. And like you, I thought the additional material at the end was great! 4d
Tamra It was propulsive! 3d
Caryl @LeahBergen I'm so thankful to the #PersephoneClub for encouraging me to read more Persephone books! @Tamra Yes, it certainly was! I had to keep reading/chasing to see where the story was going. Twists & turns, indeed! 3d
