#FridayHappyReadingHour is here! Enjoying some Coke Zero along with this book from my TBR pile. Funny story: I was hoping to start the book I ordered last Friday night, but no. I‘ve been watching the tracking history on it and it got to the post office 5 miles from my house which usually means the next stop is my local post office and then it‘s out for delivery. Not this time… (cont‘d in comments)

Aims42 … This time, it left that post office 5 miles from my house and went to Omaha, NE which is 442 miles from my house. So, yeah. That‘s fun. 3d

Aims42 @mcctrish I saw the text and was like, “oh, maybe it‘s pulling up an old tracking number? That can‘t be right”. Nope. My book is taking one last adventure before sitting on my shelf 🙄 3d
TheBookHippie Oh I feel you 😵‍💫 3d
Aims42 @TheBookHippie Thank you! I know USPS is severely underfunded and their infrastructure is being held together with string and bubble gum, so I‘m trying to be chill about it. But, did it have to be a book?! 😭😭😭 3d
TheBookHippie @Aims42 it‘s my daily experience unfortunately … @dabbe just got a letter recently from me after A MONTH … 3d
BkClubCare I‘m sorry abt your books adventure beyond arrival at your house! #sigh 3d
Aims42 @TheBookHippie 😳😳😳😳 a month?!? Yikes!!!! 3d
Aims42 @BkClubCare Thank you, readers know the real struggle of being patient with #bookmail 😩 3d
dabbe @TheBookHippie @Aims42 And it looked like it had been literally “around the world in 80+ days.“ 🤣 3d
dabbe That totally sucks! Like you said, they are underfunded, but still! Every time I have to physically go to a post office, I look like this 😮‍💨 before I even walk in the door because I know I'll be there forever. 3d
Aims42 @dabbe LOL! Glad your letter had an adventure and eventually got to @thebookhippie Yeah, I have to give myself a pep talk in the car every time I visit mine too 😬🫠🫣 3d

dabbe @willaful A major reason Schulz is my favorite cartoonist; he keeps it real. Charlie Brown NEVER wins. He's the Charlie Brownest. And we love him all the more for it. He's Everyman. 2mo

#ThreeListThursday @dabbe

57 which includes a few DNFs. I once carried around an old and old-smelling paperback of Rushdie‘s Midnight Children and finally got rid of it. #someday
I had Pratchett‘s The Color of Magic out from the library but it was returned before I read it. #sigh

dabbe I say no sighs. #hailthebail! We read what we're feeling we want to read! And you still kicked my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 7mo
BkClubCare @dabbe - truly, you will likely have the bestest fun time reading the Count of Monte Cristo. Perhaps it is a book waiting for its right time with you 😊 7mo

Hey - only reading to satisfy a reading challenge category! Yeah, the titles make me giggle as much as offends my sensibilities #sigh

#AsheCoReadingChallenge category Sports Romance #WhoKnew?!

Tbh, the NYPG is pretty awful; TW for assault and another TW for women who think such behavior is sexy. PB is better so far but I‘m not sure you should trust me on that. #noExcuses

AmyG YES. I am obsessed. I was waiting for someone to post about it on here. 9mo
BkClubCare @AmyG - yay! 9mo
xicanti Loved the first season (even though I found the visuals so boring, which I know was deliberate but YEAH). When S2‘s done, I‘ll probably get Apple TV for a month just to see it. 9mo

AmyG @xicanti Season 2 is amazing. You will need to see it. 9mo
KAO I really found season 1 fascinating! I‘m looking forward to resubscribing to Apple+ to binge all of season 2 eventually. I‘ve enjoyed the “Severance” podcast (revisiting season 1 with Ben Stiller, Adam Scott and others) while I wait! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-severance-podcast-with-ben-stiller-ada...

sarahbarnes Someone just recommended this to me and I‘m very intrigued. 9mo
BkClubCare @sarahbarnes - I dreamt all about work-life balance last night 😳 9mo
BkClubCare @KAO Thanks for the link 🔗, it‘s a wild ride, for sure. 9mo
BkClubCare @xicanti - I watched a few eps of S1 while D was traveling but it took some convincing him we both need to watch. Now we are in over our heads 😂 9mo
BkClubCare @AmyG - I know there are YouTubers exploring every aspect; I think I might be too scared to have the Waffle 🧇 Dinner explained (edited) 9mo

Just started a reread of this when 3 books came off hold at the same time. 😐 #sigh
Image is a cut out for some kind of snowflake?! I forget. Colors match the book cover 🤣

BkClubCare Oh dear, I have been stuck on page 30 for 3 months. I think this reread is a bust. #Mar2025 😢 8mo

Mehso-so

This was a book that absolutely did not grab my attention, I sensed an unreliable narrator who does things that make no sense; I went into it thinking it might be a devastating immigrant story, but once I put it down and then a few days go by, and then when I do open it back up with low motivation and hit a snag (drawn curtains are closed! Not open), WHAT DO I Do? I find many of my friends loved it. #sigh A case of “it‘s me, not the book.”

Still working on this one. Still not sure why. My Kobo says I have 3.3 hours to go (54% done). I want to know what happens, but I'm a little worried it will feel like I've wasted my time. Not that being comfy with book, tea, and slippers is ever a *total* waste of time.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Love your mug! ☕️ 10mo
ImperfectCJ @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thanks! It was a birthday present from my mom! 10mo
BkClubCare I am having the same questions abt Someone Like Us - do I keep going? Will I *really* miss something profound if I skim/give-up-now? Is it me or the book?! #sigh 10mo
