Well, that's done. Mostly, we see how accessible we are via social media, everyone has secrets... oh and lots of sex. So uncomfortable... I don't get the whole #TeamJoe thing. Those people have a lot of issues to work out!!! This was kind of like American Psycho Lite.

I feel like this one blurb sums up my experience with this book. 😂 Currently worried about Kepnes's mental state after this...

I have absolutely read so much more! I've been reading so many more genres and I've been pushed towards audiobooks just to keep up. Challenges have really pushed me to expand my horizons and of course, nobody minds me talking about books!!!
#changes
Thanks, @megabooks for the fun question!!!

This was a bit Creature From the Black Lagoon as well as a social commentary on all kinds of relationships. I got the symbolism and I could be a little more liberal in understanding this in a visual medium after getting in the characters' heads. I enjoyed the story and the outcome as well. The reveal on Elisa at the end was great. 🤘

I'm trying to figure out why everyone loves Joe so much but I'm starting to think I'm on the highway and the book is going to have me throw on my blinker and exit at 30mph into parts unknown soon...

Also, this is what I see in my head any time Peach is mentioned! 😂😂😂

Ugh, Strickland is such a moron....

#Audiocrocheting one last Brownie elf for my daughter's troop as they're bridging over next week! This will be their troop mascot for the next 2 years! Sadly, I'm closing in on the end of Gregor's adventures and I'm going to miss them all terribly! @rretzler, you were absolutely right! What a spectacular series!

An excellent middle grade book about the building of, passengers on, and the sinking of Titanic! I've been fascinated with this disaster since I was about 10 so this was a wonderful find! The photos of the artifacts are great for kids who are more visual and there are also photos from Ballard's expeditions and a section on current efforts to remember those lost. #middlegrade #raisingreaders #kidlit #teachersofLitsy

AAAAHHHH.... I'm already terrified!!!!! 😳😳😳

I didn't want to like this, really, because I disliked Providence. Page 9, I'm totally uncomfortable and hooked... 😏

Bobby Gold takes the fall for a friend and ends up in jail for 8 years. This follows his life as a bouncer and strong arm for the same friend involved in dodgy business. Hardboiled gangsters, lots of restaurant scenes and some explicit sex scenes.

I loved this and still can't get over what we lost when Anthony Bourdain took his life. An unnecessary and sad ending to a life well lived. You are missed! #Booked2019 #foodoncover #Spring #1toGo

Just finished up my civil service test but before we got started, I figured I'd snap a picture. I sat next to the ham for good luck. I think Miss Jean Louise was there in spirit helping me out. 💓

Bourdain couldn't help himself, even in a novel about gangsters and thugs. 💓
Such a great loss of genius and talent.

If an amusement park was made based on Carl Jung's theories, this would be the roller coaster!!! Charlie passes out and wakes up in Minnie's head. They get accustomed to each other after a time only for Charlie to find she's been in his dreams she he was young. Halfway through, this takes a hard left & I was not disappointed!!! Not a bad find for a buck through Book Bub!!

All I've ever heard about this movie is that it's really weird, and that was from my dad who even justified moderate symbolism in Eraserhead!!!

🍦Ice cream any time!!!
😖LAUNDRY!

🔩An inventory control clerk in a warehouse. Best job ever!
🗽I'm not sure, I'm still not great at adulting. 🤣 My favorite teacher said always make time to read. I think that's solid advice. Nobody finds more time.

Thanks, @wanderinglynn & @tournevis!!
TAG, you're it: @theanxiousbooklover @anotatedpages @Stephjotsdown 🤘🙋‍♀️

I'm out... the author is repetitive to the point that I feel she just thinks I'm either stupid or have short term memory loss. The same facts are repeated every 10 minutes, so much so that I don't feel like the story has progressed in the last 3 hours at all. NEXT!!!
@Tamra, you were right... BORING!!!!

Aww, man! This had such an interesting storyline and the ending just dissipated into nothing. Kinsey investigates a sex worker's murder and then turns over the killer to a bunch of goons in a limo and he's never seen again. Spoiler, maybe, but I feel like it's a PSA. The story was good and I loved the introduction of Cheney Phillips! Too bad he had a girlfriend in the book because I'd like to see the two of them end up together, more than Jonah!

Sentence Completions: "While studying individual words may be helpful, the best way to prepare for this type of question is to read a lot."
Keeping my fingers crossed for lots of these questions on Saturday!!! ?

I went from boring lady's maid to Kinsey Millhone watching a 1990s porn film!!! 😂😂😂 If you need a good chuckle, listen to Grafton expertly tiptoeing around that situation!!! She was fabulous! I actually laughed out loud!

I'm not thrilled by the repetitive style of this story. About 2 hours in and I'm kind of put off but I'll stick it out for a bit. I need to keep reminding myself of the time period, too! The name Carnegie makes me think of the late 1800s, not the Civil War!

#Onward to the next journey. This seems a bit out of my wheelhouse but it may be a #blameitonLitsy. I'm not sure why I tagged it on #Libby, but it may have something to do with The Dollhouse.

Everyone has a story and, as a journalist, Steve Lopez knows where to find a good one. Stumbling upon a man playing a 2 stringed violin wonderfully, clearly homeless, Lopez befriends Nathaniel Ayers and finds a beautiful and gifted soul tortured by schizophrenia. Ayers was a musical prodigy attending Julliard with a young Yo-Yo Ma when his life fell apart. This is not to be missed!! #Booked2019 #FeaturesAMusician #NonFiction #MentalHealthAwareness

I was struggling to think of a #Booked2019 book #featuringamusician. I've never really been drawn to rock biographies because I believe they're filled with irresponsible behavior that I don't want to deal with. This focuses on a musical genius who was crippled by schizophrenia and is found while performing on a corner and living on the streets.

Saw this new growth on a bush we thought was dead when we moved in 8 years ago and literally said out loud, "Hi, you!" ?? Boots has the best lines!
#PisforPincess

SABOTAGED BY A CLIFFHANGER!!!!! War is declared for the sake of the Nibblers who saved Queen Luxa as the crew interpret a prophecy hidden in a popular Regalian song. Yet another prophecy is left for Gregor to find but it seems to end badly, so nobody wants to talk to Gregor about it. To be continued...

#Audiocrocheting and learning the star stitch while I'm listening to the last disk of this. We're not gearing up to a happy ending but I'm hopeful because there's one last book! 🤞🤞🤞

🍄 I do not
🥑 Funny enough, I found out there is a sequel to The Devil's Detective! Lol
🍯 I read print magazines..
☕ In the bathroom! Lol, we have bathroom books like Stupid History and the Uncle John's books.
📖 A local preschool has a LFL but I've never stopped by.

Anyone been taking advantage of Amazon Dollar Deals? If you delay shipping slightly on an item, like one day, you'll be eligible for $1 digital credit! I have $2 burning a hole in my digital pocket and saw this! I've never read Ahlborn but I've heard nothing but great things!! #booksale #yesplease

Had to go old school for the next installment of the Underland Chronicles! On disk 3 already and it's going at a pretty good clip.

I was swooning over Brad Pitt while watching Legends of the Fall on tv, waiting for @timg138 to get home from a Mets game, and thought, "This would probably be an awesome book. I wonder if the movie came from a novel." ???

The rest is history...

I teetered between so-so and a pick but it's a crazy story. Ellen Boehm murders her son, takes out $100,000 in life insurance policies on her 2 remaining children and attempts to electrocute her daughter and successfully murders her remaining son, all for money! A deeply disturbed woman and compulsive liar, this true crime story will get your blood boiling!

I totally forgot that #ThereThere was my #IndigenousAuthor for #Booked2019 #Spring!!! 3 down, 3 to go!!! I'm still working on my #HappyPlace book from #winter but I'll get there... LOL

Today's non-reading adventure! Thanks to @LaraReads, I brought extra tissues! #Endgame #ZeroSpoilers

I ran out of audio books on hold because, like a total moron, I went backwards in the alphabet on Grafton instead of forward 😖 so I tried out one of the #1001Books I had on my list... say a prayer for me. #25hours #alreadyterrified

No spoilers but DAMMIT... that ending made me so angry!!! I thought this was a necessary story but I got bogged down with a couple of superfluous characters. I loved living the lives of Opal and Jacquie and just needed a bit less from Edwin and the drummer who I can't remember...Tommy? I also understood the necessity of Manny & David but there wasn't enough development. The quality of writing was great but a little more editing was needed.

I feel like every person in Oakland is a Native American... a little under 2 hours left and I just want it to be done. I'm a 1st and 3rd generation American so all the guilt heaped upon the reader of this is making me uncomfortable. Like John Lennon said it's Christmas and what have I done.

Even though I read this recently, I started reading it aloud to my daughter last night and she's already asking for extra chapters! Not to mention that I saw Ann M. Martin is going to be at BookCon!!! 😍

Been reading this true crime novel and decided to look up info on Ellen Boehm. In my Google search, I found a website called supernaught.com which happens to sell TRUE CRIME MEMORABILIA. 😳 I feel like I got stuck in a Gillian Flynn-esque black hole for about 15 minutes!!! @Kaye @Reviewsbylola I immediately thought of you guys!!! 😂

Impulse supermarket buy! Lol, both kids enjoyed this story about Ada who hates ballet but finds her groove in karate! Short & sweet, great for K or 1 readers.
#kidlit #picturebooks #impulsebuy

AND NOW... for something completely different.... 😂😂😂

I'm done... I didn't like anybody in this book, the was so much superfluous information and the reveal was total crap. I expected so much more and I just don't care about anything. I'm angry that I wasted more time than necessary on these idiots.
#unpopularopinion #IreallyHATEchicklit

I thought this was an interesting take on the traditional Batman/Joker dynamic. The Joker gets assaulted by Batman who stuffs him full of antipsychotics and Jack Napier takes over. Napier shows Gotham that Batman is a true menace and shakes up the GCPD into acknowledging the threat. Of course, that's not the whole story. Great for casual Batman fans with a good storyline, even if it wrapped up a bit quickly.

I absolutely do NOT get stereotypical catty women relationships and this book is FULL of them! Lol, stories like these make me happy I grew up with brothers... so far Esme is mad at Darby for trying to get along with Stella. I want to smack them all... 👊

Oy vey... real chick lit this, huh?

Gregor's mom gets tired of her kids disappearing and goes with him and Boots to follow up on the Prophecy of Blood. Unfortunately, she gets the Plague and Gregor ventures out with a crew to find the cure! Family secrets, old friends and new dangers await...
I bid Gregor adieu until I can get the books because we don't have the last 2 digital books but I absolutely love this series!!! #middlegrade #raisingreaders

#AudioCrocheting while finishing the tagged book. Sadly, my library doesn't have the next 2 digital audiobooks 😱😭😭😭 so I requested the cds from another library but they might be too slow for me! Lol, not to mention that 2 other holds came in within the last 2 days! 😖

🚚 I'm definitely traveling with Joel!
🏚 I wrote a story once about the derelict hotel in the woods! I'd love to see that!
☠ In the book, any room with Amy in it! In the general literary world, probably Panem. Lol

Thanks for the tag, @MrBook, and thanks for putting this together, @DannyHattan! #WhatWouldYouDo

The Crawlers snatch Boots from Central Park for the Underlanders, believing she is in danger according to the Prophecy of Bane. Chaos ensues! An incredible sequel featuring the value of teamwork, not jumping to conclusions and singing songs to toddlers in order to get what you need! 😍 On to book 3!

Boots is the hero we didn't know we needed...
😍😍😍

*DISCLAIMER* This is a stock photo of a kid I think resembles Boots... not one of my hellions... 😂
