#MorningCoffee ☕️Thinking of you @Kalalalatja I still use this mug ALL the time!! I hope you‘re feeling well 🤰💕That was a FUN swap @TheKidUpstairs #MugLove …you should bring it back 🥰I haven‘t done a swap in ages but I‘d happily participate in that one🤩I‘m on page 349 / 200 more to go. I‘m liking this book, but NOT loving it. Its like a tasty dish but there‘s a lot of prep work first.

LeahBergen I loved the mug swap, too! 😊 2y
LeticiaToraci Nice mug! 2y
Cathythoughts I love the idea of the mug swap 😄👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2y

Cinfhen It was such a sweet & simple swap @Cathythoughts I don‘t even think a book was involved , I remember it was a mug and maybe tea or coffee. It was really perfect 💕 2y
Cinfhen I love this mug because it feels so right in my hands @LeticiaToraci the colors & textures 💜 2y
Cinfhen It was a good one @LeahBergen 🥰 2y
BarbaraBB Interesting thoughts on the book. I am curious where I‘ll end up. And that mug looks real Scandinavian 😍 2y
merelybookish Beautiful mug! I still have mine from that swap too. 2y
TheKidUpstairs This made me smile this morning! I'll think about hosting another one in the new year... 2y
Cinfhen Those were the good ole days @merelybookish when all 200 of us “knew” each other 😘😘 2y
Bklover Trying to decide if I want to read this one but definitely think a mug swap is in order! 2y
Cinfhen Hi 👋🏽 @Bklover what‘s going on!??? Isn‘t it your birthday soon??? The book was good, I think you‘d like it. But I agree,we need another #MugLove #Swap xxx 2y

A friend knew I loved Laura Hillenbrand‘s 2010 biography “Unbroken”, and brought this book for me to read a few years ago. I think she got tired of asking me, if I had read it yet. So, I am seeing her on Wednesday, and my goal is to finish and return to her! 🤞🏻#nopressure #MtTBR

My #NonfictionNovember contenders 🤓 some have been on my shelves pre-Litsy

Librarybelle The Monster of Florence is good! 4y
Hooked_on_books Monster and Five Days are both terrific. I have the Ward but haven‘t read it yet; I don‘t think you can miss with her. And I‘ve heard great things about Know My Name—I anxiously await my library hold! 4y
Cinfhen You want to try and buddy read Men @Hooked_on_books since our Friday Black was a flop!!! 4y
See All 27 Comments
Cinfhen I‘m looking forward to Monster @Librarybelle 4y
Hooked_on_books Yeah, I‘d be up for that. Maybe the week after next? I‘m quite backlogged on my library stack and haven‘t been able to read as much this week, as my MIL is in town. 4y
Cinfhen Sure @Hooked_on_books give me a heads up when u want to start and hopefully we‘ll have better luck 🤞🏼 4y
Hooked_on_books I shall! I‘ve read a bit of Friday Black but am taking it slow. I‘m finding it a bit uneven. I can see why you guys bailed. 4y
TorieStorieS I also really enjoyed 4y
SamAnne Loved Men We Reaped.
4y
Cinfhen Yay!!! Glad to be getting such positive feedback @TorieStorieS @SamAnne 4y
MicheleinPhilly Five Days is TOUGH but excellent. 4y
Blaire @MicheleinPhilly agree. Very glad I read it. I‘d say the same about men we reaped. 4y
alisiakae 🙌🏽🙌🏽 4y
MicheleinPhilly @Blaire I agree! I loved that one too! 4y
Cinfhen Yay!! Glad to know my shelves will not be disappointing me @Blaire @MicheleinPhilly @4thhouseontheleft 4y
alisiakae @Cinfhen I had a hard time choosing a reasonable number to read in a month, so my posted stack will probably grow and change as the month progresses! 🤣 4y
Cinfhen 5 seemed like a decent number and yes we always have the right to mix it up @4thhouseontheleft 4y
Reviewsbylola Memorial is so good but difficult to read. I can‘t read Jessamyn Ward again after 4y
britt_brooke Like @Reviewsbylola said, Five Days at Memorial is so good, but it‘s an incredibly difficult 500+ pages. 4y
vivastory Monster of Florence is pretty high on my list 4y
Cinfhen Poor JW really did a number on u @Reviewsbylola I‘ve heard 5 Days is dense @britt_brooke but really a necessary read!! Do you own Monster @vivastory I‘ll buddy read with you???? 4y
vivastory I'd definitely be interested in a buddy read of Monster! 4y
Cinfhen Can u start this week @vivastory ??? #NoPressure 😁😜 4y
vivastory I can! I should be finished with my current book by tomorrow night or Monday & then I'll start. I've been in the mood for a good true crime 👍 4y
Cinfhen Woohoo @vivastory I might start tomorrow but I‘ll keep you posted 🥰 4y
vivastory Looking forward to it! 4y

Trying to end the year on a high note by completing my #LitsyByTheNumbers challenge. These will take care of #70 and #80. I‘m realistic though so odds are good I won‘t finish until early 2019. #NoPressure

Don‘t forget we will be kicking off summer with a #StepfordSummerParty #buddyread the weekend of June 21-24 🍸🍹🍸🍹#NoPressure #NoRules just a bunch of suburban housewives (or not) { looking at you @rohit-sawant } chatting about this 1970s cult classic. Join us for some cheese fondue, deviled eggs and bookish fun!!!! Image/art work from Google 💜

CarolynM Don't think I'd make the grade as a Stepford Wife. Sounds like a fun weekend though. I might indulge in a prawn cocktail. 6y
batsy Yay!! I'll be next to the cheese fondue 😋 6y
Cinfhen Ooooh, first assignment might be to share a 60s or 70s themed appetizer or cocktail @CarolynM 6y

Pamwurtzler Thanks for the reminder! I‘ll have to revise my June TBR post. 6y
Librarybelle My copy just came in the mail! 6y
erzascarletbookgasm Haha! Sounds fun! Love the hashtag. Instead of suburban housewife, I‘m more likely to be the desperate housewife! 6y
Cinfhen I thought some Littens might need reminding, we‘re a VERY busy bunch 😆 @Pamwurtzler @Reviewsbylola That‘s awesome @Librarybelle kind of like a birthday gift 🎁🎀 6y
Cathythoughts My copy is in my kindle ... ready for action 6y
Librarybelle @Cinfhen Haha! Let‘s just say that this year I treated myself to many, many birthday gifts in the form of books! 🤣 6y
GripLitGrl Thanks for the reminder! Fyi it's 1.99 on kindle for anyone who needs a copy gonna download it when i get home from work👍 6y

Reviewsbylola It‘s only $5 thru Book Depository!! 6y
Cinfhen And you get a free bookmark ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ @Reviewsbylola and no shipping fees 6y
Reviewsbylola Exactly! 6y
Bookzombie I‘m in! I have read it before but it‘s been a number of years. 6y
ValerieAndBooks I read this about a year ago or so. A lot of it‘s still fresh in my mind! I love deviled eggs so I‘ll show up for those 😂! 6y
CoffeeAndABook Thanks for the reminder - yay 🙌 I‘m in, am looking at different offers for ebooks right now. Will be busy with watching tons of soccer ⚽️ as it‘s during the World Cup but I‘m sure I can handle both 😉👍🥤😎 6y
DebinHawaii Thanks for reminding me. My copy is coming but I may grab the Kindle just in case. I'll bring the retro pupus 😉 6y
Bklover Just ordered my copy! 6y
readinginthedark Fun! I grabbed a copy from my library—very excited! 6y
Cinfhen Great!! Have you seen the film?!?? @readinginthedark 6y
MaleficentBookDragon I love (am terrified of) this book. I‘m in!!!! I‘m a huge Ira a Levin fan and am thrilled when I can talk about his books. (edited) 6y
Cinfhen Have you read it before @MaleficentBookDragon or does the premise freak you out!?!? Creepy housewives controlled by their husbands does sound horrifying!!!! 6y
MaleficentBookDragon @Cinfhen I‘ve read it a few times; and the 1970s movie scared the bejesus out of me when I was a kid. One of my favorite books (and movies) is Rosemary‘s Baby. He sure knows how to scare me. 6y
Cinfhen It‘s gonna be a first for me @MaleficentBookDragon I think I may watch the movie prior to the book because than it will work #pop18 #seenmovienotreadbook (edited) 6y
MaleficentBookDragon @Cinfhen watch the original, not the Nicole Kidman one. It was a bad spoof (but I still liked it). 6y
readinginthedark I‘ve only seen bits—of the Nicole Kidman one. I know the gist of the story but have heard it‘s way creepier than that! 6y
asiriusreader Yay! Excited for this! Thanks for the reminder @Cinfhen ! 6y
Cinfhen Of course! Hate for you to miss out @asiriusreader 😘 6y
ElishaLovesBooks @Cinfhen I‘m going to try and get a copy-sounds interesting and terrifying all at the same time! And I‘ll finally be on summer break!! So I‘ll have time! 6y
SledgeReader @Cinfhen looking for a copy now! 6y
Cinfhen Fantastic @ElishaLovesBooks @SledgeReader I‘ll make an extra batch of jello mold!!! 6y
SledgeReader @Cinfhen @ElishaLovesBooks My mother would have wine coolers of burgundy and 7up. That was her thing in the 70s!🤣🤣🤣 6y

Alias Grace: A Novel | Margaret Atwood

Pickpick

I finished this about a week ago but I‘m still awed by the writing, the mystery, and the lingering unanswered questions about Grace: female fiend or naive young woman? The way Atwood wrote this book captivated me, with how she weaved all the disparate threads together. Much like Grace‘s quilting.

Cinfhen Great review!! Can‘t wait to read this!!! @JenP I‘m counting on you #NoPressure 6y
Reviewsbylola This is on my TBR for 2018! 6y
