#BookMoods #BigJuneReadathonPhotoChallenge

Doing another #twofer combining prompts for twodifferent photo challenges because could there be anyone with more #positivity than Pollyanna with her #bright & sunny disposition?!

Growing up I was a fan of the book & the movie with Haley Mills & I had the Disney movie tie in Golden Book too.
🌞🌻🌈🌼🦄🍭

Linsy I didn't even know this was a book as a kid, but I was obsessed with the movie!! I always wanted to be just like her. 2y
Eggs Love this❣️ I watched a lot of Hayley Mills‘ movies growing up 😊 2y

#BigJuneReadathonPhotoChallenge

This short book of essays that I meant to read in May is going onto my June #TBR which I will be figuring out tonight for the #BigJuneReadathon

It also seems like a great pick for today‘s photo challenge prompt: #AnyNumberInTitle as well as tomorrow‘s #Summer prompt so I‘m going do a #twofer & use it for both! 😉

Clwojick Woohoo! 💙 2y

#JamminJune

Doing a #twofer for this post because #Paris is pretty #FarFromHome for me. I have quite a few Paris-titled books on my shelves & on my Kindle. I‘ve read (or cooked from ) all but four of these.

Eggs Great collage! I‘ve enjoyed several of these 👏🏻📚👏🏻 4y
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I have 4 of these on my TBR. I really need to get to bookish Paris! 4y

#MagicalMay #Laughter #Surprise

Doing a #twofer on prompts. One of my favorite audio books-I wasn‘t that familiar with Trevor Noah when I listened to it a few years ago other than knowing he took over The Daily Show from John Stewart. I was surprised at how much he made me laugh & touched my heart in the book. Since then he has become a favorite of mine (cleaned up or scruffy)😉& I watch The Daily Show faithfully for his humor & intelligence.

Eggs Two-fer !! 👏🏻📚🤗 4y
peaKnit Trevor Noah is a rare gem indeed! 4y

#RedRoseSeptember
A #twofer post to get me caught up.
There is a #BizarreLoveTriangle in this book when widowed mommy blogger Stephanie makes a new friend Emily & then falls for Emily‘s husband Sean after she goes missing. (There‘s also another crazy ick-ish triangle from Stephanie‘s past too.) All three characters do things in this book that are more than #GroundsForDivorce 🖤 I liked the movie much more than the book due to the casting/acting.

arlenefinnigan Loving the double link. Excellent work. 5y
Cinfhen 🍦🍦that‘s what I call the #DoubleDip 😊well played 5y

Circe | Madeline Miller

Pickpick

This is a beautiful story. I have never read the Odyssey, so I am only vaguely familiar of Circe before this. Circe is a great story that connects with a lot of Greek mythology and the gods, but you get to see it all from a female perspective.

SledgeReader There‘s enough mythology that I‘m killing it at weekly trivia!!! And it‘s a fabulous read too! #twofer 6y
tracey38 I wasn't very familiar with Circe either. Really enjoyed this book. 6y

Pickpick

#rockinmay I'm diving into this today for tuesday's #theriver and Wednesday's #londoncalling all rolled into one. I can't recommend this series enough - they're grown up Harry Potter meets police procedural with a sly wit and a multicultural cast. I'm going back through them on audio I love them so much.

Nb the first book is called Midnight Riot in the US.

melrailey Well I just ordered Rivers of London from an used bookstore on Amazon yesterday! I saw some of these in Barnes &a Noble the other day and thought I needed to read them now but they didn't have book one. 7y
Cinfhen I've always wanted to try this author 💕💕like your #twofer (edited) 7y
Shan-nana This would be great on audio - all those British accents! Was this reader good? 7y

Verity @melrailey I hope you enjoy it - I think they're fabulous. My only problem is that new ones don't come soon enough! 7y
Verity @Cinfhen thank you! 7y
Verity @Shan-nana he's really, really good. He's great at the subtleties of different British accents as well as the humour and light and shade. 7y
