Several days late with my #NovemberTBR - I did okay in October but still have lots of carry overs plus four more books added in my quest to #readmyowndamnbooks and both this month and last month‘s #agathachristiebcr2 books. Time to get reading!
pickEven though I‘m #teamslaughter, I had my heart set on reading Dracula this October so I just listened to it this weekend during our epic road trip. Not terribly scary, but a more layered and developed story than I had anticipated! Really quite a good read and Simon Vance is always an amazing narrator. 5pts (I think) #scarathlon #bbrc #growup #freezerbook #readmyowndamnbooks
What a weird day - it felt like 35° with the humidex and it‘s October 1. In Canada. And then it clouded over and the skies opened and we had the loudest thunderstorm we‘ve had in ages. Anyway. Focusing on the weather helps me forget how many books I‘ve got leftover from September - those, my #GirlyBookClub book, my #MummyDaughterBookClub book and four more #readmyowndamnbooks books are my #OctoberTBR.

I feel like I did okay with my reading in August, yet somehow, my #SeptemberTBR feels twice as large? I‘ve got five of my #14books14weeks reads that I didn‘t get to, my #GirlyBookClub book, a couple of books in-progress, a bunch of previous TBRs and I‘ve added four more books for my never-ending quest to #readmyowndamnbooks
pickI mostly listened to this book using a library audio book (even though I‘ve owned a print copy forever) and I don‘t know why I waited so long! Even my kids got into the story. It‘s a great swashbuckling adventure with disguises and a really terrible bad guy that you love to hate. #bbrc #growup #writtenbeforeIwasborn #readmyowndamnbooks #summersendreadathon
I‘ve not posted her for a while. I need to get back in the habit! Here‘s my #fridayread. #weekendreading #readmyowndamnbooks #readingalfresco
so-soSome cute parts to this queer romance, but not a fan of all the cheating going on. Also, didn‘t quite understand some of the secondary characters-not well developed at all. BUT it is a queer romance between bi boy and a deaf boy, and the love story has nothing to do with that. They just are who they are and I really liked that. #bbrc #teenangst #sagaapproved #readmyowndamnbooks
pickLoved listening to the author read this as Neil Gaiman has one of the best voices/accents around. I hadn‘t thought about this in years, and it was creepier than I remembered (from the movie, so) and enjoyed this. #bbrc #middlegrade #newclassic #readmyowndamnbooks @LibrarianRyan
pickThis was phenomenal. I loved the writing, the story, the setting, the characters.... and you know I ugly cried at the end. Highly recommend. #bbrc #teenangst #authenticvoice #readmyowndamnbooks #readingallaroundtheworld
pickOnce I got past the whole “written like journal entries to female directors” gimmick, I enjoyed this romance about a girl figuring out how to be her true self, and apologizing for mistakes she makes along the way. #bbrc #teenangst #lollipopfiction #readmyowndamnbooks
