I have no idea why this took me so long to read. I listened to the audio to get the physical book off my self 😂 The audio was great. Engaging and intriguing. I lost focus in a few parts where the text wandered a bit, but overall absolutely lovely. Here‘s to breaking out of a slump!

zezeki I read this last year after having it on my TBR for years, and I had so much fun reading it! 1mo

mcctrish I read this ages ago and it was/is a favourite of mine 1mo

mcctrish Also I have embraced the listening to books on my shelves to clear my death tower TBR 1mo

BethM @mcctrish it‘s the only hope I have 😂it‘s already going to outlive me lol 1mo

tpixie @mcctrish yes! I‘ve started listening to books on my shelf as well. I‘ve also thought about taking photos of the books and then giving away some of them that I think I‘ll audiobook, but haven‘t done that yet 1mo

mcctrish @tpixie if I don‘t love it, it‘s not staying in my house ( damn pandemic for getting me doubly hooked on buying books 😆) 1mo

tpixie @mcctrish yes! Once they are read, they go! Unless they are really special! 1mo

pick

Clay‘s desperate search for a job leads him to a night shift for a mysterious bookshop. When he discovers the regulars are part of a secret organization, it‘s time for him to do some mystery solving.

Delightful! I was fascinated by the intersection of old knowledge w/ technology, I loved the affection for San Francisco as a setting & the humor was spot on. The characters did feel a little flat & I wanted more of the relationships.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

BookmarkTavern @BarbaraJean I realized that a couple nights ago when I was reading it before bed, put it down and turned the lights out and thought “what is this weird light?” 🤣🤣 11mo

BarbaraJean @BookmarkTavern 😂😂 That is exactly the way I discovered the glowiness! 11mo

zezeki I've read it earlier this year, and loved it, such a fun book! 11mo

BC_Dittemore Ohhh… I read that a few years ago. Very good. Thanks for reminding me of a book I need to re-read. 😅 11mo

OutsmartYourShelf Brilliant! 11mo

TheAromaofBooks I really enjoyed this one!!! I also liked another of Sloan's books - it's that same sort of borderline between real/not real. Kind of like sci-fi realism 😂

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks | E. Lockhart

✏️ School usually starts a day or two after Labor Day around here. We had teacher days the week before. Still get that new school year feeling even though I‘ve been retired for three years!
✏️ The tagged book. Love a good boarding school book.

Play along Littens! I‘d love to add to my school setting TBR! #Two4Tuesday

Behold a Pale Horse | William Cooper

pick

Written by former US Naval Intelligence Officer Bill Cooper. He unveils the truth about the assassination of JFK, the war on drugs, the Secret Government, and UFOs.

It's probably the most informative book you will ever read.

IndoorDame Awesome cover! 2y

bailed

I hate bailing on any book but 80 some pages in I just lost all interest in reading this anymore. It‘s not a bad book and if your into tech and weird stuff this book is for you, just not for me. I guess I‘m just not as nerdy as I thought 🤣🤣

TrishB Oh how lovely 😁 2y

CarolynM That looks delightful, but the important question is, is the coffee any good?😆 2y

Centique @AlaMich if you go, and want a quieter resort experience, i recommend coming here to Musket Cove. This is our 4th visit and we‘re too in love with it to try any other resort 😂 2y

Centique @CarolynM the coffee is not great! But i can live with it 😂😂 The only thing i miss about home are my cats and my local barista 💕 2y

AlaMich @Centique @Centique Thanks for the recommendation! I see from the map that NZ is pretty close to Fiji, you lucky duck!! 2y

Cathythoughts Enjoy Paula ! Fiji, I can only imagine in my dreams ♥️ 2y

Centique @AlaMich @Cathythoughts i am lucky 💕but meantime i dream of visiting europe which is about 24 hours of flying 😬😬 Have to pick some closer destinations! 2y

Mostly Pick. It lost me a few times in the confusion of the many characters and some of the tech/coding. Amusing, fascinating premise.
