Started @emilyhaldi ‘s pick for the previous round of #darguschfamilymarkupbookclub. Somehow we have two rounds going on simultaneously. 😅

And I broke out one of my very favorite bath bombs to start off the weekend. Lush‘s Turmeric Latte.

#bathandbook

LeahBergen I have this waiting on my shelves so I‘ll be interested to see what you think. And what the HELL is a cheese mask like?? 😆😆 3y
Soubhiville Cheese mask? Sounds weird... Was it relaxing? (edited) 3y
BarbaraBB A cheese mask? That sounds horrible to be honest but then I don‘t like cheese and hate its smell so that might be part of my aversion 🤣 3y

Kalalalatja I‘m with the others, please explain that cheese mask 😅 3y
Simona I‘m curious about cheese mask too🧐 3y
emilyhaldi Loving these comments 🧀🧀🧀 curious to see what you think of this one 😅 3y
Reviewsbylola Ok, so I got the cheese mask in one of my monthly sheet mask subs. I do Beauteque and Facetory and I can‘t remember which one it was in. But it was an amazing texture, with the serum being a little thicker and viscous. I realize that doesn‘t sound extremely appealing but trust me, it felt great. And thankfully it didn‘t smell of cheese. 😅 @LeahBergen @Soubhiville @BarbaraBB @Kalalalatja @Simona @emilyhaldi 3y
Soubhiville 🤣 the smell was my concern. I‘m glad you liked it. 3y
LeahBergen @Soubhiville That was my concern, too 😆 3y

Going to make sure to start the morning off right as we finish out our last few days in quarantine.

This is my pick for the new edition of #darguschfamilymarkupbookclub. I‘m loving it—Tyler really captures the nuances of marriage. Hope my family agrees!

Cinfhen Yay! So happy your family markup bookclub is still going on 💜🙌🏻 3y
Reviewsbylola Our most recent segment took almost two years but it‘s still chugging along. 😂 @Cinfhen I think The Liar almost killed most of us. (edited) 3y
Cinfhen Oh , that book was PAINFUL 😖 SO BAD 3y
Ruthiella Of the four Anne Tyler novels I have read, this one is my favorite. 😀 3y
Reviewsbylola I‘ve always meant to read her books but this is my first! @Ruthiella 3y

Got to page 90 before I had to admit this book is not very good 😝That‘s my second bail of the day😳

rockpools Wow! You‘ll be claiming @shawnmooney ‘s title at this rate 😉. Hope the next one sticks. 4y
shawnmooney I bailed in the first chapter on her first book. :-) 😍 4y
TrishB But making me laugh 😂 which is good! 4y

keithmalek The description uses the term "alternate facts." It shouldn't. It legitimizes the term. 4y
Cinfhen Hi 👋 @shawnmooney I really LOVED her book Waking Lions so I had high hopes for this book...but it truly sucked 😜what‘s new with you and your lovely guy??? Hope you‘re both well xxx 4y
Cinfhen I‘m just pleased and shocked I made it as far as page 90 @RachelO @TrishB @keithmalek I‘m wondering if because the book was written in Hebrew originally the wording/ translation played a part in my bailing...it was awkward. Same complaint I had with my earlier bail .... 4y
TrishB Some translations can be so clunky they ruin the read. 4y
Reviewsbylola Omg Cindy I‘m reading this now for #darguschfamilymarkupbookclub and it is AWFUL. I am so pissed I can‘t bail. The author uses similes at about 100x the rate she should. 4y
Cinfhen I feel for you... it was SO BAD!!! SO SO BAD / who chose it @Reviewsbylola ???? What a waste of your reading time 😖 4y
Reviewsbylola It is Anne‘s pick and I‘m desperately hoping she doesn‘t read my comments in the book because I can‘t hold back. @emilyhaldi is up next and I‘ve already warned her. 😂 4y
emilyhaldi Ok reading this now... Coincidentally just made it to page 90. Cindy- HOW did you make it that far before bailing?! 😆 I have wanted to bail every page that I‘ve read so far- it‘s pure torture 😝 @Reviewsbylola @Cinfhen 4y
Cinfhen It‘s SOOOOOOO bad!!!!! I kept thinking it might improve @emilyhaldi and I really liked her first book a lot 4y
Reviewsbylola It‘s literally one of the worst books I‘ve ever finished. 4y

Mehso-so

This mystery leaves a little something to be desired... And is atleast 50 pages too long. But it did make for a fun mark-up bookclub read! I enjoyed being able to express my annoyance with these characters right there on the page 😝📝 Passing on to @Mdargusch to read next 🤗

I‘ve got a sick kid today (nothing serious, slight fever from ear infection) and she is very concerned that I‘m writing in my book. 😆 I realized quite quickly that I had to explain that usually it‘s NOT ok to write in books. Especially library or school books. And to always ask mom first if you need to write in a book. She seems accepting of this. 🤞🏻 #darguschfamilymarkupbookclub

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Awww I hope she feel better 💕💕 4y
Cinfhen Awww! What a sweet thing. Hope she doesn‘t rat you out to G 😜what are your thoughts about Picnic? I feel a little anxious as I think I suggested it for your markup😬 4y
Reviewsbylola Just finished it. Loved it!! @Cinfhen 4y

Reviewsbylola She claims to feel fine and was begging to go to the mall earlier. 🤦🏼‍♀️😆 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 4y
Cinfhen Oh good!!! And tell Flo, I think a trip to the mall is an excellent idea 😘 4y
kellyann28 I am nervous about my 4 year old doing the same thing while I'm doing my LMPBC! 4y
Reviewsbylola This particular child is known to draw on everything. Herself, furniture, etc. so I was extra worried. I‘m not sure my other child would ever consider NOT drawing on paper. 😆 @kellyann28 4y
emilyhaldi Love that mischievous little one 😛 4y
CarolynM 😂 Adorable! Glad to hear she's feeling better. 4y

This is my pick for our next round of #darguschfamilymarkupbookclub and I‘m planning on starting it ASAP. A group of girls goes on a picnic in 1900 and not all of them returned. Did they die? Were they murdered? #howiwoulddie #soaringscores

CrowCAH Hmm sounds mysterious for sure! 4y
Cinfhen I‘m hoping it‘s a hit for you all!!! 🤞🏽🤞🏽 4y
Freespirit An Australian classic and a great movie version also 4y

Pickpick

This is a fun little mystery written in 1946. So many suspicious characters and odd occurrences that I never figured out the murderer. Think Agatha Christy in the English countryside. Hopefully my family members will enjoy this next installment in our #darguschfamilymarkupbookclub. We missed our flight to London to see @AnnieD so drinking and reading is taking away a little of the pain.

emilyhaldi I‘m curious to see if the 🍷 affected the nature / quantity of your marginalia 😆 5y
LeahBergen Oh no! How long do you have to wait for the next flight? 5y
Reviewsbylola Totes jelly. 5y
Reviewsbylola Of your trip, not your missed flight. 😜 5y

Mdargusch You‘re not at all interested in seeing why there are so many Amish books being published? @Reviewsbylola 5y
Reviewsbylola The cover alone tells me that book is not for me. 🤣🤣 5y
emilyhaldi I‘m voting Moon Tiger 🤣 bet @Meredith3 would be down for the Amish option!! 5y
Meredith3 @emilyhaldi is right! They all seem good to me tho ✨🤠 5y
BarbaraBB I loved Moon Tiger but I am fascinated by Amish too (since I met so many on my recent trip across the US). 5y
