#sfmbc Thank you so much @Shadowfat for the books and goodies you sent!! Missing from the picture are some truffles that were already eaten 😊. I can‘t wait to try the tea and get started on the books @Avanders

I enjoyed the premise of this book, genetically engineered tapeworms develop their own minds and start to take over. Also some thoughts on the concept what makes a person. However it was not without flaws. The characters could have had more depth, and the twist was something that I guessed almost immediately. It sort of felt like reading a movie. If that makes sense. I did overall enjoy it as an easy sci-fi read and will continue the series

Grabbed this from my library‘s Women‘s history display and am loving it. Short histories of badass women from all over the world that are told without flinching from details, but keeping a sense of humor.

Thank you so much @ReadingRover for all the goodies in the #SFMBC package you sent!!! The bookmarks are adorable/beautiful and the book choices are perfect. The lotion smells amazing. And I can‘t wait to try blue tea, i had never heard of it and blue is my favorite color 💙💙💙 @Avanders

Odd little find for sale at the library. Not sure what I think of the stories so far, but worth it for the fun art

Lucky find for $1 at the library. I saw the movie years ago, barely remember it but know I liked it. Seems like a good book for this cold snowy week. Also a good fiction to switch back and forth with while reading about the Templars.

A well researched & readable book focusing on the ladies in his life rather than just Louis. At times his affairs were so theatrical it sounded like a comedy, I lol‘d when the king, his wife, & 2 mistresses had to share a room while on a military campaign & pretend it was all normal & fine. It did get a bit confusing at the end with the number of people with similar names, but that is not the authors fault. And she does include a list to help.

@cobwebmoth Thank you so much!! Your package to me for #sfmbc came yesterday and I couldn‘t believe all of the goodies. I 💙💙💙 them all. The tote is adorable and that edition of American Gods is gorgeous. Looking forward to a cup of tea and some reading 😊. @Avanders

Picked this up at the library today to start off my Halloween season reading.

Um...yeah....okaayyy. I have no idea what to say about this. It wasn‘t badly written, but I am just not sure what I think.

Thank you again for the giveaway!! The books have arrived and my son and I are looking forward to starting them 😁

Library book sale today, this is the combined haul for my son and I.

So I think I rather like Rincewind despite myself, and despite the fact that the stories he stars in are really not my favorites. He really does have an amazing survival instinct, and often seems terrified to the point of calm. #Ookbookclub

Another childhood reread. I don‘t think I‘ve read this since 4th grade, but picked up this copy today

Not actually book related, I‘m just proud of the job I did on my son‘s birthday cake ☺️

This was only my second book by Christie, and I really loved it. Tommy and Tuppence are are delightful, if somewhat ridiculous at times. And the twist at the end actually surprised me. 🙀

It has been years since I made it through an entire reread of this, I tend to get distracted halfway though. I am really going to try this time, it may be easier since it is a buddy read #losersclub Using this postcard I received in a Litsy exchange from Denver for my bookmark, seems fitting. 😁

Found this pretty copy at Sam‘s Club today. Haven‘t read this in a few years, have to put it as a reread on my tbr shelf.

Finished my #losersclub read early so I can start on The Stand. I really like this collection, particularly how several of them tie into his other works. The connections of the King universe are something that never fail to interest me. Some of the stores in this seem influenced by Lovecraft, with the ancient secrets not quite seen.

Book mail! My local shop couldn‘t even order this so I had to get it online. I love this #Steampunk art !!😍

Loved it. 💙Gorgeous art and complex story. I cannot wait to read the next.

#Losersclub Varney the Vampire? Didn‘t know he was here. And my apologies for the fact that I do not know how to edit photos 😝 @TricksyTails

Pulled out my old copy to get going on this month‘s #losersclub I had forgotten how good even just the prologue is.

Too hot to read outside, so little Isis and i are indoors today. Not too far into this one yet, but so far the author is doing a good job with telling the story of her life without sliding into melodrama

Slow as the great turtle moving through space, I will catch up in all my reads. I very much enjoyed this installment in discworld, Granny is an awesome character. After a slow start with the first two books I am now thoroughly looking forward into further exploring the disc #OokBookClub

“Do you have my holds?!” We‘re in pursuit. The library van‘s license plate says READON lol

Today my 17 yr old announced he is going vegetarian, his girlfriend already has been for awhile. My sister and niece are both vegan as of late last year. I don‘t think I am ready to make the jump, but I am going to try to cut back a bit and learn to cook for those who are.

I am enjoying this graphic novel adaptation, and it still follows the book well. However I think I benefit from having read the novel first as it may be a bit rushed if you don‘t know the story #losersclub #constantreader

I didn‘t know about this app until yesterday. It gives access to all of Project Gutenberg‘s ebooks to download and read. So far it has been easy to use on my iPhone. And it‘s free 😁

Some of the stories were good and rather creepy. However a fair number of them were confusing or seemed unfinished. Overall I am glad it was a library book.

Oh Flagg, you are not a nice man, but I love you on this cover. Today I found out my library has the graphic novel version of The Stand, so now I am happily becoming reacquainted with this world. It is really pretty true to the novel as far as I remember, and is a quick read. Now I just have to wait for the next to come in on hold. #losersclub #constantreader

One of my top 2 King books, the other being Needful Things. I love the world building and the slow creep factor of the vampires taking over. My mom also likes this book, and I am apparently lucky to have survived scaring her when she was reading this. I was a few months old, and she had gotten to the “Chocka Randy” part while rocking me to sleep when I suddenly stared sucking her neck. Gave her such a start she jumped and nearly dropped me 😅

#girlpowergiveaway Thank you so much for having this giveaway! I know this isn‘t exactly the sort of book that comes to most people‘s minds, but it did mine. When I was little I had a small record player that I would listen to books on and this was my favorite. I loved how strong the princess was, having the willpower to go through everything she did without giving up and saving her brothers. She is my first memory of a strong female character

#SFMBC Picked this up at that post office today, thank you so much @ofbooksandme for all the little extras!! I can‘t wait to make a cup of tea and sit down with your book choice, it looks like it is really good. And the journal you picked is gorgeous 😍. I believe I will use the little pencil girl for my note taking, she is so cute 💙.

This is the hall outside of the doctor‘s office I am at today. I keep expecting to see the twins in it, or blood pouring from the doors at the end. Way too creepy 😨 #losersclub

How to describe this book, hmm...multiple humorous scenes follow one after the other without troubling themselves too much with the thought of an overall plot or character development. That said, many of the scenes were very funny, and I loved the side characters of Death and the Luggage. The main characters were just sort of meh. This was my first Disc World, and I have seen many post that it isn‘t really the best starting point so...

Sending this out today to @Tiffy_Reads for #sfmbc. @Avanders

Thank you thank you thank you 🙏 @Cupofjo !!! I had so much fun opening this package, everything was wrapped so cute. You did an awesome job, I can‘t wait to try making your grandmother‘s apple tart. Apple pie/tart is my favorite. 😄. The bakeware is lovely and the books are all great choices. I can‘t wait to start them. #FeedaReader. @MinDea @TricksyTails

#FeedaReader @Cupofjo It has arrived! So fun to find when I got home from work. It‘s hard to wait to open it! 😁. @MinDea @TricksyTails

#FeedaReader @Cupofjo Sending this out today, hope you enjoy 😊

Found my old copy, one of the first books I bought myself when I started working in high school. Getting started now for #Losersclub @TricksyTails

I just put so-so as I DNF this. The premise has potential, but the female character is rather off-putting. I am all for a strong female lead, but she almost felt like a caricature of one. Overly harsh and trying too hard to be a badass. And how many times do we need to describe what she looks like, sexy with black hair of course. I simply decided I am not in the mood to push through that right now when I have so many other books on my shelf.

Starting my very first adventure in Discworld for #OokBookClub I did read the Carpet People, but was unable to get the other two books, so joining in again here for the read along

Lol, I love this combo. The quiz shows which two characters you are a combination of. @FantasyChick thank you for posting the link

This book gave a good overview of the various roles of people working in country homes during the time period. It had a number of photos, and some quotes from period sources to help visualize what it was like.

Working as a nurse on a cardiac floor I am always looking for ways to increase my knowledge and explain things to my patients. This book looks like it will do a good job of helping me with both.

Read this on my kindle for #OokBOokClub I really enjoyed it, lots of humor and adventure mixed with comments here and there that gave an idea of the authors views on things. Quick question though, I know this is a hashtag being used for the read along, but what does it stand for? 😊 @TricksyTails

Very strange but very good, I can‘t wait for my library hold to come in with the next in the series

My Saturday night read, really enjoying this one so far
