This is how I study for a test on pediatric hypertension, cholesterol control and diabetes....
Booked my hotel room for Austen Book Festival so will be able to do the Lit Crawl for the fist time ever!!! So excited. Anyone else going?
pickSo when I should be studying for a test and working on school stuff, I read about Mercy! I love this series! It‘s one of my favorites and of course I‘ll read this book again!
“Books are the thugs in the lineup, all fitting a profile but with only one of them expecting to be picked out.”
pickA solid 3.5 stars. Not 4 because it took me over a year to read it. I would start and stop. Maybe if I had read this before some other true crime.....but that being said Capote has a way with words and now I‘ll be reading his other stuff too.....so. It‘s a win! Definitely read this if you want to see the advent of the “true crime” novel.
pickLoved this book. A quick read with fascinating pictures.
pickI‘m only a third generation American. My great grandparents came over and made new lives as Americans. There is so much that is easy to forget and to take for granted. This helps to remind me that save for Native Americans we are all the products of immigration. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Can‘t say enough about how much I loved this book!! A book about people who love books!! Now I must find it in hard back and add it to my library to read again!!
So I always buy books when I go visit places. This one is an Ellis island pick and I wanted something not too light with a little substance but not ready to tackle The Huntress yet...
Start at the beginning and I totally missed this series. Don‘t know how I managed to never read it.
My plan for 2019 is to loose some weight and to keep better track of the books I read, and to read more as always:)
Bookishlie, I had visions of a book blog so came up with this. I'm better at litsy then blogs though! They are too much work:)
My current reading situation. This and watching civil war documentaries on AHC. Perfect day off. Later Sunday family dinner....
My new Libby pick. It came up as a Harry Potter alternative so here‘s to escapism!
pick4 stars. An awesome cozy mystery. These are my go to warm and lovely feelings. It‘s genre book that hits the tropes BUT is a lovely read anyway. Especially for those that love books. And the end had a little bit of twist so that was nice! I‘m hooked and will probably read the 2nd book coming out here shortly!
“If it wants a soul, then yes. Every town needs a bookstore”.
So far a lovely story, but I just started.
pickThis was absorbing and easy to read for someone who doesn‘t know a lot about Marilyn Monroe. I will say the author seems to take liberties with thoughts and feelings in people presenting them as facts, but I‘m not a stickler for scholarly authenticity in my pop culture icons. It was very interesting and readable.
Current read. It is so sad and fascinating. It‘s like reading a train wreck.
Book haul from Gramercy Books in Bexley, OH. When I am overwhelmed and stressed bookstores are my happy place and an independent bookstore is even better!!
pickWow. 3.5 the ending was a surprise which is very rare for me. It bogs down a bit in the middle but still a very solid first in a series!
pickI really enjoyed this book. It wasn‘t so in depth that it was drudgery but moved along fast enough that I actually finished it two days.
pickWhile this was really good, it read a bit like I imagine a Jane Austen novel would read (I have yet to read one). And I‘ve attempted Austen multiple times but have yet to actually finish any of her novels. This one I did finish and will probably keep up with the series.
pickTotally worth it and as good as the other books in the series!
Getting ready to start this one, it had me at “sinister umlauts”. How does that happen? I neeeed to know!
This is me not doing the case study due tomorrow or crisis cleaning for absentee husband‘s return from two week business trip tomorrow:)
pickI‘m suddenly back to reading the favorites. After Kate Daniels it‘s definitely Mercy Thompson!
“And in return, I‘ll take you to see a homicidal maniac.”
This is turning out to be a very interesting read...
Tired of pathophysiology. Taking a break during lunch. I‘ve heard good things so....... here goes
pickWhen life, responsibility, and adulting become too much I save my favorites for re-reading and they never disappoint:) Kate is independent, stubborn,and a loner in an Atlanta slowly crumbling from technology back into magical madness. She‘s a broke mercenary who suddenly needs to figure out who killed her Guardian. Madness, mayhem, and snarky smart-assedness ensues.
“....history‘s pivotal themes-getting and keeping power. Whether it is the power of faith or force, the power of ideas or ideology, the power of propaganda or persuasion...”
pickHow did I never read this in school. I was such a Meg in middle school turned more Calvinish in high school. Such a great book. Perfect for the Hazelwood hangover. I'm thinking uprooted next.
pickI now have a book hangover! What to do? When Alice‘s mother is kidnapped she has to go to her Grandmother‘s house to find her, but there are surprises waiting. I loved this! Dark fairy tales and few happy endings, but so good!!!
pick5 stars!!! I'm in hangover. I'm in shock. I want to sell my house but an RV and head out to hang out with these people! Their stories are heartrending, uplifting, scary, and everything in between. This was a well written book by an author who approached her work with respect and love. I will read this again and probably gift it and rave about it!!
Sitting at home on call trying to kick my reading slump. This series is seriously kicking butt! Nothing like getting paid to do nothing and read. Who says sitting around and waiting is a waste of time?
pickLove this series so far!!! I love the history and all the bookish people and turn of phrase. This is only the second book I've read this year so far. And totally worth it:)
Donald Trump and his tiny band of campaign warriors were ready ro lose with fire and fury. They were not ready to win.
Nora Roberts is my guilty pleasure. This one is really good so far. Alot darker than her usual. The sections are so pretty.
November book totals: 4. BUT Prairie Fires by Caroline Fraser and The Fireman by Joe Hill were not exactly "quick" reads.
"Dont cry over the same thing twice. Get it all out the first time, even if it's loud and messy. Then it's over"
That time!!! Woohoo #botm
pickI received an arc from net galley in exchange for a fair review. The story of how the beloved Little House books came into being. Very compelling and read like a novel vs dry nonfiction. The author did a particularly fabulous portrayal of Rose Wilder Lane, a difficult person to like on a good day. You not only learn about Laura but a glimpse of the whole family‘s history. A definite must buy for grown up fans!
