Friday nights #momlife

I have a friend looking for Eleanor read alikes. Help me send her some recs?

I read next to nothing in September but did manage to squeeze in THE release of the fall...

Listen to the author-narrated audiobook if you can! Schofield is a gifted reader and really does her own highly quotable prose justice. Highly recommended.

So far I am VERY along for the ride #audiowine

Sorry I‘ve been MIA lately! I haven‘t really been reading much at all and reading slumps are rare for me. This audiobook might be just the thing to hoist me out of it #sunset #audiowalk

Happy Pub Day! To celebrate I finally posted off my #LMPBC read!

So many good books this month. #LMPBC #Groupx #TeamCanada I‘m still working on @StayCurious pick and will send it out later this week / early next week.

Still travelling. Solid page turner. Wholly misleading about the number of snakes.

Flight delay = great excuse to buy a new book

When your book matches your drink #portugal

Loved this audiobook! But am not 💯 on the ending...

I‘m not really into this on at 150 pages in. The MC is vapid and some of the dialogue seems forced. I‘m hoping it picks up. Does it? #LMPBC #GroupX #TeamCanada

Things I shall say from now on...

My #bookmarkswap was waiting for me when I got home. It maybe been a tiny bit opened by my monster squad so I don‘t know who to thank for the lovely bookmarks. Middle monster claimed the Reading glasses bookmark (not pictured) for her own - she loves it so much. Much love to ??? (They think it started with a K) for bringing so much joy to the family of readers we‘re raising xo

Thank you so much @Amiable #bookmarkswap I love the lighthouse one best of all!

Thank you for spoiling me so kindly @StayCurious I love everything in the box - the bookmark best of all! Vasco (the rooster) has found a home in my living room where I can gaze lovingly at him. Thank you, friend. And thank you @Chrissyreadit for organizing!

My #staycationintimeswap has arrived! @StayCurious

No, you have the perfect evening planned. #lmpbc #groupx #teamCanada

Loving the view much more than the book - I loved Forty Rooms so hard that maybe disappointment was inevitable?

I read a fictitious account of Stalin‘s daughter - liked it - and yet feel disappointed it wasn‘t truer to the original story. #conflicted FAR preferred Rosemary Sullivan‘s non-fictional Stalin‘s Daughter #applestooranges Photo from https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3496532/Tank-Girl-Josef-Stalin-s-tattoo...

#selfcareSaturday First time beading I‘m almost 7 years!!! (Also I am so not going to finish this book before it expires... )

Too hot to sleep

This book is batshit insane and I was there for all of it. I would so reread this tale of an MFA creative writing class gone off the rails. Imagine The Secret History rewritten by Margaret Atwood on some serious hallucinogens. Will reread.

This #cozymystery featuring a telepathic rabbit named Bun was a) right up my street and b) the least weird book about bunnies I read this week. More in the next post.

My #bookmarkswap packages are on the move!

Coming up on the end #decklife

Wow! This one kept getting darker and darker. I really liked Rooney‘s writing and it worked really well as an #audiobook (I listened to half before the loan expired). I loved the main characters and their heartbreaking miscommunications. My one beef would be that the secondary characters weren‘t as well drawn.

I love Max Porter‘s writing. He does an excellent job evoking childhood and mixing it up with the archetypal. It was a bit too banana pants for me toward the end and I‘d still highly recommend it.

I‘m new to Lisa Lutz and I liked how the story unfolded from multiple POVs. It was like Heathers for the #metro era and ended strong.

Lounging in bad with Lanny #BCDay

I LOOOOOOOVE shark horror so feel free to send recommendations my way especially #sobaditsgood Book: Devil Sharks Movie: Shark Exorcist Song: Baby Shark #manicMonday

So my #augustTBR and currentlyreading stacks are the same

Best reads: Turbulence and A Girl Returned

Evening reading view #EarlGrey

He‘s been up there overnight! #catsofLitsy

This is why I wake so early #decklife

This is my July birthday book so I‘m hoping to finish it before the month ends (I get twelve books for my birthday each year - one for each month). Treated myself to a new ring today and am spending more time admiring the stone (Rosetta Jasper) than reading. #spoiled

Deliciously dark and getting darker #screamsbymail folk might be very into it @Reggie @kamoorephoto @danibolahood @GatheringBooks @ephemeralwaltz @scripturient
