Another pick for the series. Once again I never read these as a young kid and decided to pick them up for easy reading and have been enjoying the lighter take on some epic adventures! Ended on a surprising note so onward to book three!

I‘m chipping away at this fantastic read but I just had to share this quote. I am often obsessive about end of life decisions and prepping and telling others to think about it too! This just resonated so much with me that we as a society just don‘t understand that there‘s so much more to dying than just prolonging it to the point of suffering!

We finished our last discussion on The Help last night in our book club and it was my turn to pick sooooo…. Here it is! Hopefully it‘s a good pick!☺️ They have beautiful covers for the book and the audio!

A great classic take on a futuristic dystopian society. The title itself has always pulled me in to read this novel and honestly I was pleased with this story. If you‘re a fan of Blade Runner it was a great way to see where the ideas came from but don‘t expect the book to be anywhere near the story of the movie! A look into what it means to live and who is truly alive!

A spectacular read by Stockett! A book that sparks all the emotions! You hope, pray, and laugh alongside them as they themselves go through their own struggles and triumphs. A book you don‘t want to put down till you get to the end!

I hate giving this book a so-so😔 I have so much respect for the women in the dial painting industry for without them I would not have the protections I would probably have as an X-ray tech. But I just don‘t like how the author put the story. It felt redundant and confusing at times with way too many characters involved without much differentiation. Still a fascinating and horrific read about occupational hazards and workers rights!

So so many unexpected happenings in this book!! It all led up to some extremely shocking events and knowledge near the end of the book which makes the the anticipation of the third book all the more intense! A must read for Maas fans!

Haven‘t checked in in a bit but hope everyone is having a wonderful day! Been reading this for my work book club, a group of X-ray techs💀💀, and this book is extremely harrowing! All that these women went through! Can‘t seem to put it down🧪🧪

I wanted very much to absolutely love this book but I have to admit I felt disconnected to the minor characters through the letter format. It ended a bit suddenly and I felt there was still things that were left undone. With that being said I still did find it worth the read! A very charming read of post WWII in a little town called Guernsey in the Channel Islands.

And for book club number one we are onto The Help after finishing 1984! Can there ever be a more night and day book reading one after the other?😆 I had to make myself stop reading this one tonight to not get ahead of our section because IT IS SO GOOD!! So excited to get more into it!❤️

Juliet gets it…📖📖 a couple of my coworkers decided to create a book club and this is our first read together! Love how all the characters are into reading❤️ a wonderful story so far in letter format. Also longest title ever!! Happy reading!

A book that still shocked me even reading it a second time. A read that will have the wheels in your head turning! I find it so interesting that Orwell published this book the year before he died and didn‘t get to see the impact this book had on societies around the world. Even enough for some to ban his work. Such an standout read and must be on everyone‘s tbr!!

Alright all bit of a weird one here. Myself and my book club were trying to figure out what Orwell meant about this armchair. Out of general curiosity does anyone have any input on why he might have decided to use this word?

So I‘ll be honest this was a bit of an uphill climb for the first half of this book. I was motivated to read it since I‘m currently home with COVID😷 I will say that it was a clever book with many unexpected twists and turns that made the second half easy to read through (took me two days!) I am gonna make this a pick because I did enjoy it outside some nitpicking that I have about the writing style.

Been reading this for about a week and I don‘t know if it‘s just me but did anyone else have a problem with the point of view shifting mid dialogue from one main character to the other without a break? It‘s not gonna make me stop reading this but it‘s something that has just stuck out to me😬 enjoying it otherwise though!

Wowza is there a lot to unpack with this book! I initially was a bit wary of it because of my dislike of Nesta but as expected she very much redeemed herself and even became likable💙 And boy were there indeed flames in this book!🔥 very spicy😏 There is still much left unsaid in this book which means hopefully there will be another book coming along! I look forward to continuing on with this story!

New book club book! I‘m so incredibly excited to be reading this in an environment where there will be discussion! I never read it in school and have read it on my own time but so excited to hear about other people‘s opinions and thoughts!😍 #bookclubbook #bookclubreading

I wanted very much to like this book. But I found that I wasn‘t all that entertained. And perhaps this book isn‘t about entertainment but about hardship and work and taking care of your family no matter what during a dangerous and hazardous time. I honestly had a hard time with the main character but know that he did what he did out of his best intentions. Not a book for easy reading but definitely one of survival.

I am in love with this series but this is the first time I‘m actually hesitating while reading these books. This one is from the perspective of Nesta and I have SUCH a hard time with her. I know the author will probably turn my opinion on her with this book but I can‘t say I‘m not struggling with the beginning😬😩

Another lovely short addition to the Court series! Covered post war Night Court and how all characters are learning to cope through their nightmares and daily struggles. But also shines through with hope for the future!✨

A great way to end the first part of this series! So many feelings and sitting on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book! Onto the next one!

Can I just say book husband or whaaaat❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥😍

Guys I‘m cruising through this series so quickly that I forgot to do a review of this one! I‘m already half ways through the next one😆😩 mostly just have to say if you‘ve been thinking about reading this series just do it already!!❤️

Happy Christmas all!! I hope for a wonderful day for everyone and that you get all the books on your lists❤️❤️ spending the day reading and traveling home to see my family! #airportreading #pdxcarpet #pdx

Stuck at work and wishing I was back to my reading spot😩 Is the work day over yet!!?

A friend of mine has been trying to get me to read this series for MONTHS and I finally gave in. YA is seriously a guilty pleasure of mine, I hate to love it but this series has me by both hands and we are running through the books quite quickly! A take on Beauty and the Beast with a little bit of spice😏🔥

New book club book! Anyone heard of or read anything about this book?? #bookclubreading #bookclub

What a delight of an American Classic novel❤️ Ray Bradbury‘s novels have always changed my outlook on reading and how words can transform the way things can be written and seen in life. This was no exception! A story of friendship, and conquering your deepest fears. #bookclubreads #bookclub #bookclubpick

Book Christmas tree year seven🎄📚💙😍 no other way to make a Christmas tree in my opinion 💁🏻‍♀️😊 #obsessed #booktree #bookchristmastree #bluelights #stackobooks #christmasdecor

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
