How lucky we are to travel and live many lives through reading!❤️📖

I am constantly astounded by this book every time I get a chance to listen to it. We were on the topic of horror tonight in my book club and I was brought back to this book constantly within our discussion. This novel is not by any means the definition of a horror story. But I feel that sense of shock and unbelief as Mariam‘s story goes on. It‘s truly heart wrenching and raw. Glad to be reading it even if it‘s difficult.

Anyone else feel this way about 0300?? Love how Bradbury writes❤️😩

Y‘all who‘s showing up at your door?!😍😱
Personally I‘m hoping for Jamie Fraser😏

Alrighty Littens! This is my pick for our book club. I love Bradbury but I‘m a little nervous about this one since it‘s dubbed as a bit of horror-esque. Hoping I picked an ok one! Onward!

What a read! I tried before to read the Game of Thrones series by Martin and didn‘t honestly like his writing. I was honestly nervous when the book club suggested this book but have been pleasantly surprised by the story and the writing that was done for this book. Stories of space voyages, ecological engineering, and most importantly cats!

New bedside table book! Got this one for my birthday and it looks absolutely fascinating. Gonna dive right in!✨

Another excellent read from Pat Barker! Without saying it I am beginning to believe this is some form of trilogy following Briseis‘ timeline. I highly suggest reading Silence of the Girls before this one since there were many references to that story in this book. And I can definitely tell her story is not quite over…

As a kid I never actually got around to reading this series. Decided to give it a try! Although clearly meant for a younger audience there was a surprising amount of adult humor thrown in here and there. The story was quite fun and easy to follow. Probably woulda been more head over heels for it as a younger person but was still entertained!

This happens all the time when people ask about book recommendations. Like do you want a title from each genre, do you want my top five, do you just want one genre?? Be ready for the title wave of word vomit! 😝

Hear hear!😆

Little bit of daytime reading in between my night shifts at the hospital💀 really enjoying the flow of this story! Cozy cat 1 and 2 accompanying me😻 #theyreactuallymycats #jinxcat #finankitten #catsoflitsy

New bedside table book! Since I finished Bomber Mafia this one was sitting right under it! Loved Pat Barkers Silence of the Girls so I have high hopes for this one! Happy reading all!❤️📖

I love Gladwell‘s work. There‘s something about his writing that makes you feel like he‘s telling the story just to you and that he is just as astonished and fascinated as you are while you‘re reading his writing! As someone who loves WWII history and more specifically aviation during WWII this was a great read for me! And those who are also interested in these subjects!🙂

New favorite book character? It‘s a possibility 🤔😆

Alrightyyyyyy now that the book club is done with Snow Crash we are going onwards to this one! I again have no idea what this is gonna be about except it‘s sci-fi which seems to be the pick for all of us in the book club so far this round!😂 excited to start! #bookclubreading #bookclub #scifi

I really wanted to love this book and there were many parts and aspects of the story that I really enjoyed. But too much of this book really kinda drug on to the point that I didn‘t even read those sections and skipped to the next part. And I don‘t think I really missed out on anything. Also there were parts of the plot that never got wrapped up🤷🏻‍♀️ Very interesting sci-fi concepts but overall so so for me!

Such a fun read! Gave many ideas on how to improve the hygge in your home🙂 definitely gonna try a few tips❤️

No better place to read this book! #wahclellafalls #hikesandbooks

Been in a bit of an audio slump lately. Decided to try this one read by the amazing Jim Dale! We‘ll see how it goes…

Another exquisite read from Andy Weir!! I was pleasantly surprised at how invested I got into this book and story line. Excellent characters and structure of the book. Must read everyone!! #teamearth #teamerid

Rocky is officially my new favorite book character 😆🥰

Next book club pick! I‘m loving kinda going into books blind since it‘s other people‘s choices. I have no idea what to expect! #bookclubbook #bookclub

I can‘t quite describe this book in words that would summarize it in a complete and whole way. It reads like a modern sci-fi style book but the impact of it makes me think of modern classics like 1984 or Fahrenheit 451. The book leaves a lot to your own imagination, being vague in some areas but also extremely specific in others. I absolutely thought this book was an excellent read and look forward to reading it again!

❤️❤️

My favorite part about this book is Molly‘s obsession with breakfast😂 every chapter she mentions getting breakfast at any time of day and I love it😂 just leave the drugs out😬

Next book club pick! I have no idea what this book is about and have never heard of it before now. Going in blind we‘ll see how it goes ☺️ #bookclubpick #neuromancer

Annnnnnd third book finished today..😬 Book hangover is gonna be something else this week! I really wanted to love this book and for the first section I was intrigued about where the story was going. But about 3/4 of the way through I was just really tired of the main character. In the end she got her happily ever after which I am very happy for her as a character that she stood up for herself. However she started getting on my nerves😬 so so!

Seriously love this book❤️ it was a reread for book club but I was still on the edge of my seat for most of the book! Love the humor and the ups and downs that were inevitable in a story such as this! Pick pick pick!!

Alright so of course my hunch about the Darkling was right... who would have guessed🤦🏻‍♀️😆 decent read, obviously structured differently than the tv show. Was kept intrigued about where the story was going but not totally crazy about the book. Still a pick though!

Ok I haven‘t watched all the Netflix show and I‘m only a couple chapters into the book so I might regret saying this... but there‘s something attractive about the Darkling😬. I know we‘re supposed to be rooting for Alina and Mal but right now I‘m ok with the Darkling😬🤷🏻‍♀️ #thingsimightregretsayinglater

Quite true quite true🧪

With all the exciting Mars stuff going on I decided our next book club book to be The Martian! Anyone else rereading this with all of the big scientific jumps happening on the Red Planet?!

Finished two books in one day! Feeling accomplished☺️ What a wonderful book Emma is, and such character development! An absolute classic Jane Austen novel that absolutely gives you secondhand embarrassment and all the happy feels in the end!

What a wonderful listen! I highly recommend audioing this one as it is voiced by McConaughey himself and who doesn‘t like listening to him talk am I right?!☺️ great lessons, stories, and really just nice knowing that even celebrities have to stop, pause, and wonder “what the heck am I doing?” Very down to earth individual and an absolute hoot!

Perfect way to finish up Emma! #bookclubreading #emma #beachreading #oregon #rockawaybeach #rockawaybeachoregon #twinrocks #sunset

Any excuse to listen to Matthew McConaughey talk for six hours 😂😍 but really I‘ve been excited about this one!🎧

I got this for free on Audible so I decided to give it a shot! It‘s actually the first three books in this series in one book which was really nice. However I cannot say I like how this book is written. I liked the story and I like where it was going but honestly the verbiage at times was absolutely cringey. For that I almost gave it a pan but like I said I liked the story. Wish it had better execution!

Ok does anyone else just hate Mrs. Elton🙄 I mean who hates puppies...😒

When you stay up a littttttle past your bedtime to finish a book you‘ve been working on for a few months 😬☺️. Absolutely worth the read! Post WWII novel written from the perspective of three different characters following their journey to meeting over one individual, The Huntress.

Was skeptical about continuing this series but so glad I did! Really started to dive into some characters pasts that I was always kind of wondering in the original series. Excited for the last one!

Sounds like a great school to go to 😬😂

In the end I just couldn‘t get through it. I was able to finish Sir Gawain but stopped in Pearl. The rest of my book club spoke highly of the short poem Sir Orfeo but I couldn‘t get through Pearl to get there. Shoulda skipped it but hindsight is 20/20. Onto Emma! #bookclubbooks

Oh. My. God. This book is so... meh😩 I would have bailed so so long ago if this wasn‘t for a book club. I am really not one for poetry and I am struuggglinnggggg. #sendhelp

Maybe I should start talking to sleep like this when I struggle to get out of bed every morning😬😂😴

Well by far these best of the series... I guess it was worth reading on after the first book! I hate to say it but the time apart the main characters had really enhanced the book and the series. It spent more time focusing on Diana‘s magic and the histories that the other books always kinda hinted at that. With that said has anyone read the two books after this one? I always like to finish a series but this reviews seem a bit meh... Thoughts?

Catching up on my book club book with this gem😍 I‘m not allowed to sit by myself EVER😂 were bundled up and ready for the incoming weather in Portland, OR! How‘s the weather where everyone else is?❄️❄️ #finankitten #catsoflitsy #snuggles

I haven‘t been watching the Discovery of Witches tv show but the more into this series I get the more I am realizing how much better Gallowglass is than Matthew😬😍 #scotsman #cantsaynotoascots #gentleman #bookhubs

Super much better than the first book. Much more captivating and felt like the story was going somewhere. Diana and Matthew still have their cringey relationship moments but it‘s all apart of the story! Continuing on!

I so so so wanted very much to like this book but it just couldn‘t get all the way to a pick. I‘ve begun to think of this series as an upscale Twilight if you will and there are parts where Diana and Matthew get cringy😩 I‘m continuing the story because I‘m curious but my hopes are not high for an awestruck story😬
