I did better on this one. I got a 52/100 🎼
My favorites are Metallica's Enter Sandman (I love that whole album), The Kink's Lola (one of my favorite songs) and The Doors' Light My Fire (one of my favorite bands and my favorite of their songs) 🖤

1- Nope
2- I'm guessing quidditch counts, because other than the Harry Potter books, I can't think of any.

#TLT #ThreeListThursday

Both #BOTM & #Aardvark had some nice picks this month. These were the four I picked. What did y'all choose 😺

In June we went on a heist with Han, Chewy, & Crew. I enjoyed it. What did y'all think?
For July we head back to the High Republic. Starlight Beacon was destroyed & Avar Kriss & the Jedi are deperatly trying to fend off the Nihil. I admit I've missed Marchion Ro. Who are you looking forward to catching up with?
As always if anyone wants to be added or removed just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always 🚀
#StarWarsBuddyRead

My top book for June was Leather and Lark but my top read for this first half is Psyche and Eros 💜
#ReadingBracket2024
#TopRead2024

My reading slump is over. I read ten books in June. My favorites were: A Thousand Ships, Leather & Lark, Lost Souls and Otherworldly 🤎💚🖤💙
For #BookSpin and #ReadOrDonate I read Blasphemy which I'm keeping. My #DoubleSpin and other #ReadOrDonate choice Walk's In Oscar Wilde's London didn't hold my attention, so I'm donating it.
@theAromaofBooks @julieclair
Also a late Happy Pride Month everyone 🌈

I love Lukens' books. This is the latest, and we follow Ellery and Knox. Ellery is working at a diner and is dealing with a world that has spent the past five years in an endless winter, and Knox is the human familiar for one of the local witches. At least he is until she gets killed, and he ends up on the run. Which is when he runs into Ellery, who makes a deal with him to help end the winter 💙
#NoShameReadathon24 #LGBTQ+Romance @Nessavamusic

I loved this book. It tells the tales of the women during and after the Trojan War. It is told in dreams to a poet by the goddess Calliope 🤎
#LiteraryCrew @Librarybelle

This was a fun read about Han, Chewbacca, Lando, and Crew pulling a heist on the Black Sun syndicate. I enjoyed it, but I think as @Jari-chan pointed out, it could be a really cool movie.
#StarWarsBuddyRead

These are the first two books in the Wyman Ford series.
In Tyrannosaur Canyon Ford is all set to become a monk until his plans are interrupted by a coded message that leads a dinosaur and trouble.
In Blasphemy Ford is sent to check on a team of scientists trying to find the origins of the Big Bang.

I love these books. This is the second book in the Ruinous Love trilogy, and in this one, Lachlan botches a job and becomes the target of blame for some of the deaths in Lark's family. So, to help clear his name, Lark decides to marry him and help him hunt for the killer.
Note: There are a ton of trigger warnings just like in the first one 🖤

A nice guide for 2024. It has lots of interesting articles and ideas for the year 💙
#TravelingStars
#TBRTarot @CBee

I love this book, and I've loved it since I read it in college (about 25 yrs ago). Fortunately, it has lost none of its magic in my latest reread.
Nothing runs away from home in a vain search to find his favorite band in Missing Mile, NC, but also finds a new family in three wild vampires 🖤
#WickedWords #music @AsYouWish

This was a good Sherlockian steampunk fantasy.
Din is an engraver magically altered to memorize everything in a crime scene so he can report back to Ana, a brilliant investigator who refuses to go outside and often wears a blindfold. The two are sent to a mansion in Daretana to solve the murder of a dead officer.
My main complaint is that you are tossed into a new world, and getting used to it can be jarring.
#Aardvark

This was a good and disturbing horror novel about a scout troop secluded on an island when a stranger shows up. A stranger who is very sick and hungry.
Warning: don't eat while reading 🪱

Here are my picks for #BookSpinBingo and #ReadOrDonate for July 🌞
@TheAromaofBooks @julieclair

I got a 26%, not my best score. I feel there were a bunch of movies like Dune or in the horror genre that should of been there.
1- The Hobbit (loved the whole trilogy)
2- Rogue One (my favorite of the newer Star Wars movies and yes, I am still upset that they killed off Ben Solo in The Rise of Skywalker).
3- Guardians of The Galaxy (loved, but poor Rocket).
Thanks for the tag @dabbe @MaleficentBookDragon
#TLT #ThreeListThursday

Thanks for the tag @Eggs
1- I started off with the goal of reading over 100 books but I may not make it this year. I've been on a dry spell here recently.
2- Lists, I have lists of lists 🤦🏼‍♀️
3- Escapism and it's helps give me an edge in Jeopardy when I play against my father 😸
#WondrousWednesday

I scored a 30%, mostly because the 2000s clearly belonged to Hobbits, Wizards and Pirates. With the exception of the Sherlock Holmes and Narnia movies, I didn't pay attention to many others.
#TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe

Thank you so much @TEArificbooks 😺 I love everything. The socks are especially cute and the teas look yummy.
#NaturalitsyMidsummerSwap
 @jenniferw88 @TheBookHippie @AllDebooks @Chrissyreadit

@TEArificbooks I mailed your @NaturalitsyMidsummerSwap package and mine came in.
Also @DebinHawaii your Litha package for #TravelingStars is also on its way.
@AllDebooks @jenniferw88 @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit

I love walking and hiking. I try to walk a mile or 2 every day. Two years ago, my brother Douglas and niece Kellyn and I hiked the Alum Trail in Gatlinburg Tennessee. It was about six miles up the mountain. My knees aren't that great, plus the altitude made it difficult to breathe at times, but the views were well worth it.

#TLT #ThreeListThursday

Thanks for the tag @dabbe

#TLT #ThreeListThursday

My top book for May was Butcher and Blackbird 🖤
#TopRead2024
#ReadingBracket2024

In May I read 6 books. My favorites were Fantasticland and Butcher & Blackbird 🖤
For #ReadOrDonate I read Fantasticland and will be keeping it. And I'm halfway through Plant Witchery by Juliet Diaz, which I will most likely be keeping as well.
@julieclair

Loved! A serial killer love story, yes, please! I admit I didn't think this book was going to be nearly this good.
Two serial killers who find each other and play murder games, fantastic. Just don't eat while reading it, especially no ice cream 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

I really enjoyed this book. It's a retelling of the Selkie Wife folktale. In this one, Jean, the local midwife, finds her neighbor's wife outside one night in labor. She helps her to her house and then delivers the baby, but when her neighbor shows up for his wife and child, more questions do too.

I loved this book. It was Lord of the Flies set at an amusement park during a hurricane. I listened to the audiobook per @Gissy advice, thank you. That really made it work since it is composed of interviews taken after the rescue.
#DoubleSpin @TheAromaofBooks
#ReadOrDonate @julieclair Keeping the physical copy
#TBRTarot #maleauthor @CBee

Fantastic story about Darth Plagueis and the birth of Darth Sidious 🚀
#StarWarsBuddyRead

Here is my stack for #BookSpin and #ReadOrDonate for June 🪻
@TheAromaofBooks @julieclair

I got 16/100 not a great score but the movies that I had seen are some of my favorites.
1- Star Wars
2- Halloween
3- Rocky Horror or The Muppet Movie
#TLT #ThreeListThursday
@dabbe

In May we learned about the tragedy of Darth Plagueis and why we don't trust Siths. I enjoyed it. What did everyone else think?
Moving on to June we meet up with some of our favorite Scoundrels. I've been looking forward to this one.
As always if anyone wants to be added or removed just let me know. And May the Force Be With You Always 🚀
#StarWarsBuddyRead

Thank you so much @Gissy I love the Beltane kit. The simmer pot kit smells fantastic! Love the mini broom. And this season's book looks amazing 🧹
#TravelingStars

1 Placebo - Battle For The Sun
2 David Bowie - The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust
3 Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
This wasn't easy but I'm picking these three 😻
#TLT #ThreeListThursday @dabbe

Thanks for the tag @Eggs
1- Not really since I used to practically live their.
2- Libby, BOTM, Aardvark, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Recycled Reads
3- Star Wars Darth Plagueis by James Luceno
#WondrousWednesday

For all the hype this book is presently receiving, it was just okay. I figured out who the killer was early on. It's another book where I disliked everyone. Is unlikeable characters the new trend? If so, it's not working for me.
Beth, Nicole, and Michael reunite after their mother dies and discover an old video of their father (who ran off years ago) covered in blood and needing their mother's help to bury a body.
#WickedWords #Deal @AsYouWish

This book was about a woman who leaves her boyfriend out of the blue one morning and his quest to find her and her's to finally stop traveling.
It was okay, a really interesting premise, but I didn't really like or connect with any of the characters.
#AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

Happy Star Wars Day and May the 4th Be With You!

#WondrousWednesday

Here is my list for May's #ReadYourKindle
@CBee

Placebo has been one of my favorite bands for years now. I was lucky enough to see them back in 2000, and they just released a new live album, which is fantastic 💗
#TuesdayTunes @TieDyeDude

Here are my picks for both #BookSpin and #ReadOrDonate 😺
@TheAromaofBooks
@julieclair

So in April we spent time with the Inquisitor and the fall of the Jedi. I enjoyed it. What did y'all think?
Now in May we on to the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise. I admit I've been wanting to read this one for awhile now. Hope you all enjoy it!
