WOW 🤩 This was absolutely amazing. Very intense with a satisfying ending. I was riveted throughout and could not get enough. I am so glad I did the audio version because Joanne Froggatt is AMAZING! I often forgot it was her I was so sucked into the story.

I love asides like this in comics 😆

Picked up another graphic novel haul from the library because this finally came in on reserve for me!

Matches my bedspread because I love beach/island/coastal color schemes 🏝 A bunch of friends on Goodreads have been raving about this one and it‘s been on my list a long time. Time to read it up!

My 3YO got the one on top at a book fair and I thought the dinosaur looked familiar. Sure enough, the first book is at the library. When I brought it home he immediately grabbed it and ran to compare it to the other book. He knew it was Penelope Rex! Both of these are wonderful and adorable. 👍 🥰🤩

Soooo spooky that I read this on THIS DATE RIGHT HERE

I checked this out forever ago and put off starting it because I knew I wouldn‘t be able to put it down. I‘m already halfway through it and making great progress on it this lazy weekend. 🤓

I‘m completely obsessed with Silk. I‘m so glad to find female superheroes that have their own identities and aren‘t just “the female version” of a male counterpart. She‘s the one I relate to the most so far ❤️ 🕷

I was nervous about getting into audiobooks but I have an hour commute and figured I could reach my reading goals faster if I start. I started with this one because it was short and was recommended by a friend. I‘m picky about readers on audiobooks and this one has two great readers for the two points of view. It‘s a harrowing, beautiful, true story. It heralds the virtue of perseverance and makes you appreciate what you have for sure!

The third in the Golden Arrow series. They‘re all super fun if you‘re in the mood for something exciting and heavily geared towards nerds which I enjoyed 🤓 I love the characters so much. Again, just fun and nerdy. 💜

Winding down from birthday party weekend with a good vampire book. I love having a day off during the week once in a while 🎃 #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix

Just the physical books on my #ScarathlonTBR because I have a ton more on my kindle I‘ve been saving for spooky season. I‘ve been waiting for this spree all year! #Scarathlon2021 #TeamHendrix

I‘m not crying you‘re crying 😭

Aw yiss, go get ‘em Superman!!!!!

A couple of scores from the Friends of the Library book sale ❤️

Frantically trying to read all the comics I checked out of the library on time. 🧟‍♀️

I heard about this book from a meme where the author tweeted a bad review and clapped back that he was sorry his book about vampires on a submarine wasn‘t “realistic enough” for him. I knew immediately I had to read this book. It‘s so crazy it works. A submarine WOULD be the perfect place for a vampire. But how on earth (or at sea) could the humans stand a chance against them? Read and find out. It was a satisfying ride!

This guy makes the best references 😂 Referring to the Spider-man ride at Universal Studios 🎢

I got a new job at the library!!! This is my first check-out with my staff card 👾 I‘ve been so excited to read this 🤓

Spider-Woman is my jam!

I wanted to read this book as a child but never got the chance. Reading it now as an adult I know I would have loved this book back then. It‘s an interesting survival narrative of a girl alone on an island that reminds me a bit of Hatchet, another childhood favorite of mine. It comforts me to know there are books like this with strong female protagonists for young girls to read.

I was heartbroken in elementary school when I didn‘t get put in the reading group for this book. Finally going to dive in after all these years!

Made 300 books read on Goodreads with this gem! It is exactly what it claims to be: a description of the way each famous writer sits down and gets it done. I read it during breaks at work and each chapter is the perfect length for that. It gives great insight as to what did and did not work for these authors. As a result, it can also serve as a look at what may or may not work for aspiring authors. I loved this book!

Learning about writers‘ work lives while baby boy naps :)

Reading Spider-Man while hubby plays the new Spider-Man game!

Started the book that‘s been on my Goodreads To Read shelf the longest and have already flown through Part One! I love the way he writes. I read the Kite Runner in high school so I guessed I would like this too and so far it is great!

I‘ve wanted to read this ever since I saw the movie. The movie is a cinematic masterpiece but it hinted that there was way more story to be found under there which I assumed could be found in the book. I was right! This story is gripping and spooky. The characters and the story are 100 times more fleshed out in the novel. I tried not to read it at night because it is very creepy and has different scares than the movie. 10/10 Great horror novel.

Just finished completely tearing through this book! It felt just like playing a video game. Super addictive and satisfying at the same time. I don‘t know if it would hold up well on a re-read but it sure was a fun ride on the first read.

Our latest library haul arranged tonally from light to dark

Just noticing that witch hunts seem to really get going in April. Just weird coincidence noticed after reading up on Salem so much.

So happy I'm finally getting to read this!!! Flying through it. I feel like I'm really on Mars when I open this book.

I use Harry Potter bookmarks when it's J. K. Rowling even when it's not Harry Potter. Finally starting this one!

Made it through one year of Salem Witch Trials. Happy new year!

I call her Little Abby!

The intro really sucked me into the world of Salem at this time. I'm hoping this will be good research for The Crucible. So far so good. :)

Getting ready for auditions! #witches

Got this for Christmas after seeing the movie at Thanksgiving. Having time to let the movie sink in was good for the reading experience for sure. The movie hit me so fast with all this new information! The screenplay helped me sort out and organize it all much better in my head. J. K. does not disappoint and the expanding wizarding world is turning out wonderfully!

It makes me so happy that this little guy is on the cover :)

Definitely hooked enough to want to see how this series ends but I have a sinking feeling that this story didn't need to be stretched into a trilogy. Finally took a turn that I'm actually interested in following at the end so I am sticking around for book 3!

I'm starting to get picky when it comes to vampire stories and this one didn't disappoint. It wasn't what I was expecting which ended up being a good thing. The take on vampire mythology was unique but still familiar enough to satisfy the craving for a good vampire book. I'm definitely considering picking up one of the other books in the series when I look for my next vampire fix.

Always trying to read a vampire book during October. So far so good!
