SceptreSummer

Freshwater | Akwaeke Emezi

It's autumn, or fall (whichever suits you best). I was doing pretty well with my #SceptreSummer #TBR, so I made an #AutumnTBR.

Here are the physical books I plan to read. The complete TBR list, including @DuckOfDoom and @Maike's, is on the blog: https://scepticalreading.com/2021/09/sceptre-autumn-reading-program/

Swearing Is Good For You: The Amazing Science of Bad Language | Dr. Emma Byrne

First but last book from my #SceptreSummer #TBR. @DuckOfDoom @Maike

Thank you, @squirrelbrain, for giving it to me.

#SuperSeptember @Andrew65 @EadieB

squirrelbrain Hope it‘s a good one! 3y

EadieB @JulesG Just be careful swearing in front of children! They repeat everything they hear! 3y

julesG @EadieB Too late. They both swear like sailors. All my fault. 😁😁😁 3y

EadieB @julesG Ha-ha! It happens when we get into a bad habit of swearing 🤬 3y

Weekly Forecast | Thomas Gibson Inc

#WeeklyForecast @Cinfhen

Only 5 books left on my #SceptreSummer reading list - I don't think I'll read all of them this week.

I should pick up The Asylum for #Gladstonerds book club.

Let's be honest though, I have 2 full novels left in the St Mary's series plus a few short stories, I'll probably read those. 😁

squirrelbrain Oops, forgot about The Asylum…. 3y

Cinfhen I think you‘re selling yourself short with this #WeeklyForecast 😉😁😘 3y

#BookReport @Cinfhen

Used my last week to get through my #SceptreSummer #TBR and then some.

squirrelbrain You certainly did! 📚📚📚 3y

Cinfhen OMG!! I think you read more than @Megabooks 🤪 3y

Megabooks Wow!!! 3y

julesG @Cinfhen @Megabooks - probably a one off. Have the kids on summer holiday for the next weeks. 3y

Firebreak | Nicole Kornher-Stace

so-so

Full review: https://scepticalreading.com/2021/07/give-me-a-break/

Reads too YA for an adult dystopia.

The Library of the Dead | T. L. Huchu

Wanted to read Harris' Orfeia with @Maike, but this book shouted at me all through my 40min yoga session. So, Urban Fantasy with a teenage exorcist it is.

BethM Sounds fun! 3y

Nute Where can I purchase a Litsy mug? I see them in many Litsy posts. 3y

julesG @Nute I won it when I signed up for Santa Thing on Library Thing one year. The first 10(?) people from Litsy to sign up got one. 3y

Nute Thanks for the info. I thought that they were connected directly to Litsy. I‘ll just continue to enjoy seeing them in posts.😊 3y

julesG @Nute There was talk that they'd be made available on the LT store, but so far there haven't been any on it. Maybe we should 'pester' @LibraryThing, because my kids want their own mug, too. 😁 3y

Nute That sounds like a solid plan!👍🏽 3y

catsuit_mango I love the author/pen name :) 3y

julesG @catsuit_mango It's his real name. Tendai Huchu is from Zimbabwe. 3y

catsuit_mango @julesG I am sorry, I had never heard of him and with the theme of the book it looked like a play on Cthulhu :( 3y

julesG @catsuit_mango No need to be sorry, you didn't know. It could have been just as you described. 3y

Sharks in the Time of Saviours | Kawai Strong Washburn

pick

Quite a sad, slow burn of a book. It took me some time to get into it, but I really enjoyed it and it‘ll probably stay with me for a couple of days.

Iron Gold: A Red Rising Novel | Pierce Brown

Today‘s hammock book is my Iron Gold reread for #SceptreSummer. I almost forgot just how good the writing is.

julesG I should have added the series to my list. 😁 3y

Maike @julesG you can edit your list anytime 😜 3y

@julesG , @DuckOfDoom and I channeled our inner overachievers and put together reading lists for the newly invented #SceptreSummer. Maybe you want to follow along (and to see us fail spectacularly 😂). I gathered all books from my list into my reading cart, and you can find the typed out versions here: https://scepticalreading.com/2021/06/sceptre-summer-reading-program/

julesG 😍😍😍 3y
