Say what you will — I
know it gives you a thrill to
be so loud and shrill.

I have a not so S.O. who sneezes SO LOUD that he about gives me a heart attack every time he does it. 🤯 He swears up and down he “can‘t help it”, but I don‘t buy it. 😒😐😵‍💫 Send wine and tissues. 🍷🤧

lil1inblue OMG, same here! I feel ya'! 😖 3w

dabbe I feel the pain! Matt's nose has never been the same since he broke it playing high school football. When he sneezes, it reverberates through the neighborhood, and he usually repeatedly sneezes at least ten times! 🩵😱🩵 3w

TorieStorieS Bahahahaha— I love this movie, too! 3w

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS why am I not surprised?! This is my absolute favorite animated movie of all time and I used to rent the VHS from the video store every Friday night! Jace watches it with me now 🤓 #twinning 👯 (edited) 3w

TorieStorieS Bahahahahaha!! Our twinship continues!! I had the soundtrack on my iPod back in the day and whenever it came up on the shuffle, my husband couldn‘t skip it fast enough!! Glad to see you are raising your son with impeccable taste!! 😊 3w

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS that is hilarious, I had the soundtrack on CD 🤣 and I found a bootleg copy of the DVD about 15 years ago that still gets watched frequently! 😆😬🤓 3w

TorieStorieS I don‘t even know how I had it on my iPod… I don‘t remember having the CD, though I may have checked it out from the library or something to add it! And a DVD! I had it taped on a VHS only… which I think is still in my basement! 🤣 3w

Julie Chan Is Dead: Or That's What She Needs You to Think | Liann Zhang

pick

I‘m such a sucker for twin stories, so gobbled this one up in one sitting! Julie & her twin sister Chloe were raised apart after their parents‘ death. Adopted by a wealthy NYC couple, Chloe is an influencer while Julie struggled with being raised by their aunt, has worked in her upstate grocery store for almost a decade & tries to avoid seeing her quasi-famous twin online. This debut only starts here before Julie learns more about her twin‘s life!

JenlovesJT47 Ooh gonna have to track this one down #twinning 👯‍♀️ 3mo

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I think you must, book twin! 3mo

The Color of Magic | Terry Pratchett

Starting this today for #authoramonth and very excited to be starting #discworld from the beginning! @Soubhiville

vlwelser Twins! I just posted about this one. 8mo

AlaMich Just a warning that it‘s not generally thought to be one of TP‘s better books. So if you don‘t love it, don‘t give up on Discworld! 8mo

BarkingMadRead @AlaMich thanks for that! It‘s good to know!! @vlwelser #twinning 8mo

Soubhiville I love this cover! 8mo

The Brothers Karamazov (Classic Unabridged Edition): A Philosophical Novel by the Russian Novelist, Journalist and Philosopher, Author of Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Demons, The House of the Dead, Notes from Underground and The Gambler | Fyodor Dostoyevsky

And we are off…it looks a bit daunting but anything is possible with the #hashtagbrigade. Thanks to our fearless and funny leader @BarkingMadRead

BarkingMadRead We can do this!!! 2y

Ruthiella I have the same edition! #twinning #teammadcaps 2y

Aimeesue After looking into reviews of all the (so many!) translations, I went with this one as well, AND bought the audio version. It‘s working a lot better for me than when I read the Constance Garnett translation a few years ago. Much more fluid! Enjoy! 2y

Ruthiella That is the same copy I have from the library! 👍 2y

Bklover @Ruthiella @barkingmadread This was a ThriftBooks buy. I love buying classics on ThriftBooks because a great deal of the time no one has even opened the book. This one looks brand new! (edited) 2y

BarkingMadRead @Bklover I got mine on Pango, but I think it was new when the seller listed it. 2y
