Half audio, half print - normally I have trouble focusing on NF in print, but since I started my boycott of Spotify right in the middle of this, you do what you have to do 🤷‍♀️ I‘ve since gotten more familiar with Karie which enhanced the reading experience. This is not an easy book, but it‘s an incredibly important one.

What the heck happened between book 2 and book 3? I legit almost bailed on this. I don‘t want blissful family life, Freida! I want murder and mayhem, twists and turns! Only the last 1/4 or so redeemed it, but just barely. Big meh. #readyourkindle

Well shit, Freida. Suki is incredulous. I don‘t know how I‘m hooked but, I‘m in it for the long haul now 😂😂 #readyourkindle (friggin Kindle Unlimited will be the death of me)

Welp.
I bought into the hype. And read this in two days.
Did I immediately start reading the next one?
Yes. Yes, I did. #sorrynotsorry 😂😂🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
#readyourkindle

Cool word but can we not use the White House in the example sentence? #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

Well. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Despite being in a constant blushing state because those sex scenes were 🔥🔥🔥😳😳😳
Already put a hold on the next one 🤭

Carrie, didn‘t you recommend this to me? If not, oops 😂 We chatted about a bunch of books when #ALSpine started and I seem to remember this being one of them. ANYWAY! It was fantastic! If it was you, thanks 😊 @CSeydel #TBRtarot

Also genuine, true blue, the real deal, and so on. I feel like it could describe the fab new governors, the new NYC mayor, the folks who flipped the script all over the country. Well done 🩵 🌊 💙 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

I listened to this on repeat in the car yesterday - it‘s beautiful. M and sons + Hozier = dreamy.

Fitzgerald foresaw
Future facades, fakery
Fires, fear, frustration
My take on a certain party held over the weekend whilst millions of people might soon go hungry.

Hopefully this will help any of you having a case of the Mondays like I am! 🤪
Have fun, tag me, let me know if you want to be added/removed from my tag list! Thanks for playing along, friends 💚 #readyourkindle #readyourebooks
#readyournook #readyourkobo

This one should be easy, friends! Have fun! #TBRtarot

Just in the nick of time! If you haven‘t posted your list, here‘s your reminder 😁 #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook #readyourkobo

Apologies for my recent brief absence, friends. The world, my mind, my heart - it‘s all so much (too much) and is getting the best of me lately. I had a word all ready for #weirdwords yesterday and forgot to post - am behind on posts for #readyourkindle. Anyway, here is my very gloomy reasoning in haiku form 🤷‍♀️😬#haikuhive

Started out like meh and ended up like yeah. Excellent twists, most of which I didn‘t see coming. A great read for spooky season 🐦‍⬛

Happy International Wombat Day! Read this, especially if you need a laugh: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/wombats?fbclid=PAVERFWANl7Z1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp2b2j...
(Sorry that link is so friggin long 😅)

Apparently this is the longest word for “pretty” or “beautiful.” That‘s a whole lotta syllables 😂🤪 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

Funky photo but it was still semi dark when I finished this morning 🤪 Overall, I liked this! Agree with some reviewers who mentioned how it dragged a bit - mainly the middle - but the premise was super unique and the adventures/misadventures happening kept me turning the pages. Not sure about the ending - I had other ideas but, I didn‘t write the book so 🤷‍♀️😂
#readyourkindle

Jen, you keep spoiling me! Thank you for sending this my way - I started it a while back (library book) but I think it was a “me, not the book” situation 😂🤪 Look forward to trying again 💚💚 @Jas16

I didn‘t really realize it until today, but grimace is sort of a weird word to say. Try saying it a few times and see if you agree 😁 And who could forget lovable Grimace (but why did they give him that name?) of McDonald‘s fame! #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

This was so very good. What keeps sticking in my brain is how interconnected the people of Sarajevo were before the war - different groups/cultures/religions living side by side in peace. I don‘t think I‘ll ever understand why acceptance and interconnection are so hard, or how violence and war are so easy. #TBRtarot (debut author/debut book)
Thanks again, @Jas16 💚💚

It‘s impossible for me to put into words how impactful and important this book is. This was one of many quotes that struck me right in the heart.

I‘m almost at a loss for words after finishing this absolute GEM of a book. I loved every moment. #readyourkindle

I read the word “caprice,” and thought 💭 it sounded musical - lo and behold, it is! So, I figured I‘d include “capriccio” as well. Wasn‘t there also a car called a Caprice? Anyway, it‘s early, I‘m rambling 😂 enjoy!

I 💚 Percival Everett. #readingispolitical #readingisresistance #antifabookclub

Loved the history aspect and have already started down a rabbit hole 🤓 It can‘t match Her Majesty‘s Royal Coven series but I really liked it!

I‘m late, friends! But here we go 👏🏻👏🏻 Have fun and happy reading! #readyourkindle #readyourebooks
#readyournook #readyourkobo

More time with Rocky and family? Yes, please! @Suet624 this comes out October 28 💚

Happy October, friends! Here is the #TBRtarot prompt for this month 🎃🍁 Enjoy! *edited to add: it can be a debut author or authors debut work!*

Another beloved read by Backman. Much more melancholy than others of his I‘ve read, but so beautiful nonetheless.
“I love you and I believe in you.” 💚 #readyourkindle

Absolutely 100% in LOVE - look at the edges! Look at the cover! 💧 🌎🔥💨 😍😍😍

Hi friends! A few of you have actually posted your lists already - which actually reminded ME that I needed to post mine 🤦‍♀️ And remind everyone else 😂 #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook
#readyourkobo

Solipsism, solipsist, solipsistic. Say those words ten times fast 😂😂 Other tidbits: solipsism is also a term for a specific philosophy, a symptom of certain mental illnesses, and apparently can become a syndrome after periods of extreme isolation. And yes, this is Narcissus. The two are different but I thought it was close enough 😁 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

🤭🤭🤭

Guess what‘s coming back, y‘all?

Must it be over? Sigh. I‘ll miss this. At least I have Queen B to read! 😢😢😭😭💚💚 #readyourkindle

@Amiable I‘ve been waiting for Wednesday! Thanks for putting this word in my atmosphere. Sadly, it‘s a frequent state of being for me these days. #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

This blew my mind. There were so many moments of true understanding, observations and feelings that could have been mine. I also wasn‘t expecting some major twists (not in a thriller sort of way, but a bit mind bending and heartbreaking nonetheless), but they worked seamlessly. I‘m not a woman on the verge (yet), but I understand how one gets there 😮‍💨😬 I highly, highly recommend this.

@BarbaraBB thank you for this recommendation - you were right, it was so good! The ending was 🔥 and just what I hoped would happen 🫢 #TBRtarot #animalmaincharacter
Edited to add: watch the triggers in this one!

Every wondered about the origin behind the word, Wednesday? And why isn‘t it pronounced Wed-nes-day, so weird. Anyway, here you go! I always thought the days of the week were all named for Roman gods - nope! #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords
Also, an article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/jan/02/why-wednesday-the-days-of-the-week...

Oooooweee I‘m in love with this series. I have a book to read for #TBRtarot, then headed right back into this world with the 3rd (and last 😢) book!

I 100% recommend listening to this on audio. A beautiful memoir that I‘ll remember and think about for a long time. Mikel is a beautiful writer and the last few chapters wrecked me 😭💔

Oh, Stella. This was an incredible read, fantastic storytelling and so well written and researched. I am drawn to stories like this, but even I was overwhelmed at times by the bleakness and trauma. Be warned - there are many triggers in this one. A powerful and intense book.

WHOOPS! The day got away from me, friends 🤪 Here are the numbers for #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook #readyourkobo 😮‍💨😃 Enjoy!

I‘m running out of prompts, friends! Feel free to suggest any that you‘d like to see 📚🤓
Anyway! Here is our September prompt - have fun! As always, please tag me in your posts, and let me know if you‘d like to be added or removed from my tag list. #TBRtarot

This was such a beautiful story about the power of blood, the power of women, the power of the natural world. Difficult to read in parts (please note trigger warnings), but in the end, karma won (with plenty of magical help). I loved it! #TBRtarot (book with a green and GORGEOUS cover)

I realized today that my #readyourkindle list for August still had July on it - oops 😂🤪 I did read a few from my list this month, yay! Here‘s your friendly reminder to post your list 💚 #readyournook #readyourebooks #readyourkobo

I don‘t know what it is about this week, y‘all. But we do not care that our brain is unable to figure out a #weirdword for today. We DO care very much if any of you would still like to post one. Just meh today. #weirdwordwednesday #wdncw

I know that many of you were a bit shocked when Litsy “Love” abruptly ended. What‘s even worse is that none of us were given continued access to the address list even though we were “told” to feel free to continue writing each other. You need addresses to keep writing! I have a copy and would be happy to email it to anyone who wants one. Just leave your email address in the comments or email me directly at cydneybean@gmail.com. 💚

Holy shit.
Holy shit.
That was brutal.
Couldn‘t put it down.
