Alyisha, I just received the most gorgeous, decadent package from you and Moxie Crimefighter! Thank you so much for all the gifts! I feel very spoiled and I can‘t wait to dive into this beautiful book and my new tea! And thank you for another amazing year of #auldlangspine

P.S. Cedric approves, and says bunnies smell weird and amazing and he‘d like to meet one someday!

monalyisha I love that Cedric and Moxie got to share this moment! And I‘m glad the package lived up to the wait. 😉 3d

Mrs. Caliban: A Novel | Rachel Ingalls

Thanks for the #ThreeListThursday #TLT tag @Eggs 🤗

This is hard to narrow down! It seems I like my stories & novellas on the creepy &/or weird side & the ones that come to mind are:

1️⃣ WHALITC is a classic for a reason 😱

2️⃣ Not enough hype for the tagged book. I found it in an early #AuldLangSpine (#NewYearWhoDis ) 🐸

3️⃣ Had to list both books from the Sworn Soldier series as I loved them both equally.🖤🖤

Anyone else want to share?

dabbe I haven't heard of any of these; you've given me more for the TBR! Thanks for sharing. 💚💙💚 1w

I love the concept of a bio that zeros in on an artist's favorite hobby. Something about focusing on something besides her writing made Emily Dickinson feel more like a real person instead of her standard brilliant poet role. The page layouts are gorgeous - McDowell discusses ED's relationship to gardening throughout her life, along with photos, illustrations, poems, and excerpts from letters. 🌺🌻🌼🌷🪻

monalyisha Wow, yeah. What a pretty example of book as visual art! 1w

I feel like this is one that will grow on me over time. Even though it's a short novella, I read it slowly over a month. This fantasy world is slowly revealed through the memories of a handmaiden to the exiled empress. I'm interested to read the next books from this series to learn more about this world.

#ReadAwAy2024

The 3rd book from my #AuldLangSpine list from @Itchyfeetreader (I‘m trying to read at least one per month) is another WOW! This is a collection of 5 short stories & a 6th that‘s a bit longer, more of a novella. All are about belonging, or not & the black experience & while some hit harder than others, I appreciated all of them. I listened to it on audio & I recommend it that way as the readers knock the narration out of the park ⬇️

DebinHawaii …especially LeVar Burton reading “Control Negro” & Aja Naomi King reading the titular “My Monticello” where the tension just built & had me sitting in my car long after I got home to finish it. Thought provoking, moving, dismaying, & way too real. I will be thinking of these stories for a long time & I would definitely read more from this author. (edited) 2w
DieAReader 🥳Great! (edited) 2w
Itchyfeetreader Oh I am glad you liked it. This one has really stuck with me 2w

This was such a great romance, I devoured it in two days. Enemies to lovers, he fell first, 'who did this to you?' tropes so well done. I related so hard to Elsie, a major people pleaser with anxiety who feels like a burden to others, and Jack reminded me of my partner, showing her that it's okay to be taken care of. Hazelwood once again highlights the difficulty of being a woman in STEM and gives us a complicated & wonderful couple to root for

monalyisha Aw! Sounds perfect for you. 💓 2w

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon #Hygge

My #HyggeHour is working on my #NaturalitsyCardSwapSpring cards while listening to the first chapters of the tagged book for #JaneAdjacent with the #PemberLittens & My Monticello which is one of my #AuldLangSpine titles.

I meant to have the cards out earlier but work life got in the way. I‘m going to Kona all day tomorrow, so my new goals is mailing them all out by Tuesday.

#bookreport #weeklyforecast OK, I need to read most of the five bottom books in the next two weeks. Some are book club books. One is from #auldlangspine. And one is something I need to read for my job. I‘m not saying which are which. I just finished Annie Bot and I don‘t have a current read but need one. So, which one should I pick up next?

For March 🍀🌺🌻☘, I am excited to read The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman. The book is about Nina, who is living her ideal life with a job in a bookstore, a top-notch trivia team, and her loyal cat, Phil. 📚 If she ever craves more, she just grabs another book! Thanks, @Read4Life, for the great recommendations! #BookwormLife #AuldLangSpine2024 #AuldLangSpine

AmyG This was a lovely book. Enjoy! 3w
Read4life I hope you like it! 💙🤓 3w
KadaGul @Read4life Up until now, all of your books have warmed my heart. I'm sure this one would be just as great as the previous ones.Each selection has been a delightful journey filled with captivating stories and characters that resonate long after the final page. 2w

It‘s been ages since I did one of these.

1. HERE FOR IT by R. Eric Thomas
2. A GAME FOR SWALLOWS by Zeina Abirached
3. RUN TOWARDS THE DANGER by Sarah Polley

I was gonna do honourable mentions but there‘s like six books I could probably switch out with any of the three listed above, not even counting conversational cookbooks, soooo… 🤷‍♀️

#ThreeListThursday #TLT

monalyisha Oh, hey! We‘re book twins 👯‍♀️…at least a little. 😉 3w
xicanti @monalyisha SIGH, GONE is on my extended/maybe switch out list, so we‘re double twins! 3w
monalyisha I feel like this overlap might be #AuldLangSpine & @MeganAnn related somehow. 😉 3w

MeganAnn @monalyisha yes! I believe @xicanti read it off my #auldlangspine list and I found it thanks to @JackOBotts #newyearwhodis list from the year before. It‘s still a favorite of mine. 😍 Your event continues to help me find the best books every year!! 3w
monalyisha @MeganAnn I definitely read it based on your review! I just saw that he has a picture book out about a cranky construction vehicle? 😅 My hopes aren‘t as high for that one (it looks wordy) but I‘m still tickled! 3w
willaful I really enjoyed Here For It too. Listened to the audiobook. 3w
MeganAnn @monalyisha a picture book? How interesting! I may have to check it out for the sake of curiosity. 😉 3w
JackOBotts @meganan & @monalyisha - I love that Sigh, Gone was a favorite, it‘s one of mine, as well. This is what makes @litsy so fun - discovering books with one another. 🤗 And - of course - adding to my mountain of TBR! 🤣📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚 3w

xicanti @willaful the audiobook is so much fun. I recommended it to a friend who listened to it while she walked her dog, and she ended up laughing so hard everyone on the street gave her funny looks. 3w
