The Merry Spinster: Tales of Everyday Horror | Mallory Ortberg

Kudos to the ones who put themselves on a book buying ban for 2019 and are sticking to it so far... I am not one of them 😂😭

Burghbookaddict Yeah I'm totally off the wagon too 😳 5y

MotionChickness @BurghBookAddict It‘s so bad! But so good! 5y

Kaye I learned my lesson last month. I bought several kindle and audiobooks. All on our credit card. A huge bill. Mailed the check 2 weeks ago and it never arrived. That huge check is floating out there someplace. I had to pay 25 bucks to cancel the check, then write another to our bank. THAT made me swear off using the charge card. I DID buy a small Amazon card this week, which is how I‘d like to purchase books this year. No checks getting lost ! (edited) 5y

MotionChickness @kaye Oh nooooo!! $25 to cancel?! That‘s ludicrous! I‘m sorry! Gift cards would be a good way to keep track of spending, though! And with amazon you load them to your account, so nothing getting lost :) 5y

IamIamIam I say it every year and by February, I've totally blown it!!! Lol 5y

MotionChickness @IamIamIam Lol! It‘s a bittersweet struggle 😂 5y

CoffeeNBooks I'm not sticking to my book-buying ban very well, either. I'm getting very good at coming up with elaborate reasons to justify my book purchases, however! 🤣 5y

MotionChickness @CoffeeNBooks Lol! Please share your skills! All I‘ve got is a good shrug as my answer to my boyfriend when he asks why 😅🤷🏼‍♀️ (edited) 5y

CoffeeNBooks @Stephuhhnieee 😂 1) I have to read it right now and it's not available at the library. 2) It's for a buddy read and I want to be able to write in it so I can remember everything I want to discuss. 3) It's only $___ on Thriftbooks, and it might not always be that price. 4) I got it at Goodwill. 5) I'm going to donate it to my classroom library when I'm done reading it. (This one is always a winner, lol!) 🤣 5y

Tolkien: Maker of Middle-Earth | Catherine McIlwaine

I checked this out from the library a couple of days ago. I am so impressed by it that I immediately went online & purchased my own copy.

JazzFeathers Best decision ever 😉 5y

vivastory @JazzFeathers As soon as I saw it, I knew I'd want a copy. Do you know of a definitive collection of Alan Lee's LOTR illustrations? I have the sketchbook checked out, but I thought maybe there was a better collection. 5y

saresmoore Sold! (Bad influence!) 5y

vivastory @saresmoore Did you buy it? 😄 It's irresistible at $26!!! 5y

sprainedbrain That‘s gorgeous! 5y

saresmoore @vivastory Added to the wishlist! Looks like a great choice for post-Christmas purchase. 5y

vivastory @sprainedbrain It's absolutely stunning. I love it. 5y

So We Read On: How The Great Gatsby Came to Be and Why It Endures | Maureen Corrigan

Technically, I went over $15, so I bought one book for myself. Not awful since I've only spent $20 all year on books during the #BookBuyingBan!
Bonus points for getting Caraval, Kitchens of the Great Midwest and the tagged book on clearance!!!

@Louise 😄

Reviewsbylola I keep promising myself that I‘ll finally read All the Light this year! 6y

IamIamIam @Reviewsbylola I'll make a note to let you know when I get to it! 😄 You'll probably read it before I do, though! 6y

Louise Brava! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I'm looking forward to reading Britt-Marie Was Here! What will she get up to next! Will she blossom at last? 🤓 6y

IamIamIam @Louise I did NOT realize Britt-Marie was from this!!!! I'm SOOO glad you made that comment!!! 😂😂

My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry (Bound for Schools & Libraries)

Louise Well, I'm ASSUMING it's her, but I haven't yet read it. The description of the book fits, except that she's living in Borg. Did she move? I HOPE it's her!!! 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @britt_brooke ❤️❤️ 6y

mrp27 I'm ready for Sunday's discussion, I'm loving it and as I said to @Cinfhen earlier, it's putting me in an Irish kind of mood. Thinking about reading

The Mammy

Cinfhen I finished too!!! #zeroselfcontrol sooo good!! And I won't spill any secrets either 🤐 6y

EllieDottie Ok so I'm really far behind... I feel really bad.... I will try to catch up before Sunday!! 6y

kspenmoll I am keeping up with the assigned reading, but tonight I wanted to read on...good thing I need sleep so I can focus at work in the morning! Loving this book! Do many emotions... 6y

TheBookHippie I can not wait to discuss!!!!! Oye ....so many emotions !!!! 6y

TheBookHippie @mrp27 ohhhhhh I love The Mammy and the others in that series doesn't this book remind you of that book a lot ????!!!!! 6y

mrp27 I haven't read The Mammy yet but based on the cover art and description it feels like it would. I keep saying this but Furies is really putting me in an Irish mood. @TheBookHippie (edited) 6y

janeycanuck I‘ve just finished two marathon Christmas shopping days so my reward is curling up with this week‘s chunk tonight! It‘s perfect weather for it, too - cold & rainy 😊 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @mrp27 I‘ll have to look that one up!!! 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cinfhen I‘m sticking to it because I might slip up!!! 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @EllieDottie you can do it!!!!!! 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @janeycanuck I‘m jealous!!! I‘ve only bought for my Litsy peeps!!! That‘s so bad!!! 6y

janeycanuck @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks it‘s not even December yet. You have loads of time. I don‘t handle crowds well so I do all my in-person shopping early and don‘t leave my house after Dec 1 unless under duress. 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @janeycanuck haha you sound like me!!! I would rather pay more than deal with crowds!! NO Black Friday or us!! 🤣😂 6y

The Butcher's Hook: A Novel | Janet Ellis

@Reviewsbylola #LookwhatYouMadeMeDo your recent review of the Butcher's Hook sent me right to BookDepository 🙈🙊#ZeroSelfControl and these other books were already in my cart 🛒 so #WhyNot I'm definitely going to have a #PissedOffHubby 🤷🏼‍♀️😬I wouldn't splurge for the nicer Butcher's Hook cover though....it was a $6.00 difference 🤑

I have #ZeroSelfControl walked into the library to return 2 books~ ended up buying 5 📚 super excited for them all 😍#bookhaul

LeahBergen Oooo! 👏🏻👏🏻 7y

Cinfhen I know 🤗🤗🤗 @LeahBergen I'm screwed when it comes to getting these books back to israel ~ that freakin weight restriction 😤 7y

LeahBergen What about in your carry-on? I may have resorted to this a time or two. 😂 7y

LDuffN I'm headed to the library in a couple of hours. I hope I can resist. I always buy at least ok me book and check out 5 or more. 7y

emilyhaldi You're really rackin 'em up! 7y

shawnmooney Can't wait to hear what you think of Idaho! 7y

Cinfhen I know @emilyhaldi I'm a bargain shopper ~ can't resist 💸💸💸the struggle is real @LDuffN 🤑 7y

Cinfhen It'll probably be awhile before I get to it @shawnmooney but I'm pretty sure you LIKED it, right? Otherwise you bailed! I know it's either/or😜 7y

shawnmooney A top read of 2017! Not everyone's cup of tea tho. 😘😘 7y

Cinfhen They now weigh your carry on @LeahBergen damn airlines 😝 7y

Cinfhen I know, it's kind of love or hate with that book @shawnmooney - I paid $2 so I figure I'd go for it! 7y

Reviewsbylola I hated Idaho. But I think you may like it. Anxious to see. 7y

Hooked_on_books The tagged book is great--very quotable. 7y

Cinfhen Oh good 😊 @Hooked_on_books love to hear that! I know you hated Idaho @Reviewsbylola and so did @britt_brooke but I couldn't pass it up for $2 7y

DebinHawaii You are going to need an extra bag for books! 😆👍📚📚📚📚📚 7y

britt_brooke I thought the writing in Idaho was beautiful, but there's a central thing in the story that I could not understand. You'll know when you get there. I just could never get past it. I will definitely try the author again when she writes a second novel. 7y

ErikasMindfulShelf I really liked

Idaho

TrishB I loved Idaho 💟 not for everyone though I know. 7y

Cinfhen Now I'm really curious about Idaho- I think I may need to read ASAP @irre @TrishB @shawnmooney @Reviewsbylola @britt_brooke 😆 7y

Cinfhen About to post my review @shawnmooney @irre @TrishB @Reviewsbylola @britt_brooke @Kalalalatja @merelybookish I thought the writing was visceral and lush! I understand what you couldn't get pass @britt_brooke but I was completely absorbed in the story. Some parts left me wanting **more** but overall this is a winner! 7y

shawnmooney You're talking about Idaho, right? I am so pleased! Can't wait to see your review. 😘 7y

Cinfhen Yes @shawnmooney brilliant! So glad I didn't skip this book 7y

merelybookish Yay! It makes me so happy when people like this book too. Like @shawnmooney , it is one of my faves of the year! 7y

ErikasMindfulShelf I'm glad you liked it!! 7y

Reviewsbylola I actually loved the story too. Just not the way it was told. I'm glad you enjoyed it tho! 7y
