Even though it's a retelling of Jane Eyre I actually enjoyed it much more than the classic! Maybe it was Jane's tendency towards badassness that wone me over 😂

This book had such a great flow, I couldn't put it down! It sucked me in within the first few pages and so wish it was a full-blown novel. Get your hands on it if you can!

Loved this quote so much I replayed it on my audiobook three times!

"Little girls who make their mothers live grow up to be such powerful women."

I'm no reading fiend, no matter how much I love books my life is just too busy to get through as much as I want. However, this is my most productive year yet! Setting my goal to 65 books in 2017 😊 how much do you guys wanna read this year? I'd love to hear your goals!

maximoffs I decided on 150 🙈 I always try to up from what I read the year before 7y
Laura_Kaihoi @steverogers dang girl get it! 7y
maximoffs @Laura_Kaihoi I read a lot of comics too which GR counts as books too! So I feel like I'm faking a little but oh well. You're going to kill your goal! 7y
Laura_Kaihoi @steverogers Oooh good to know 😉 7y

Lucky You | Erika Carter
post image

When you have two book credits and can't wait to use them 😍😍😍 a little nervous about Lucky You since I haven't heard about it much, but that's pretty much what pulled me to it in the first place, plus so many people posted it as a #botm choice I had to go along with it! Also psyched for the Couple Next Door and All the Ugly, had my eyes on them for a while!!

Reviewsbylola Great box!! 7y

Lucky You | Erika Carter
post image

So i honestly am not super psyched about these books, maybe cause I don't know anything about them, and I HATE skipping the month! Any suggestions Littens??? #help #botm #whichwillitbe

Reviewsbylola Girls in the Moon held no interest for me and I am just not a short story fan, so Homesick was out. Of the last three, Lillian Boxfish seems the most promising. I love the cover and the book seems quirky. Lucky You is the biggest crap shoot because I literally could find only one review on it. The Most Dangerous Place made me the most nervous because the reviews are so mixes but after going through all the reviews on Litsy, I decided to go for it! 7y
Reviewsbylola Sorry for the novel. 😂 7y
Laura_Kaihoi @Reviewsbylola no that's good! I'm in the same spot!! So many people have been saying Lucky You so that might win... even though I couldn't really find anything on it either! It's the month for gambling I guess 😂 7y

I've never read Terry Tempest Williams before, but after this book I know she'll be a staple in my library. Her obvious zeal of the natural world and all that inhabit it scream from this book in beautifully written words. I had to stop for a while because it was so overwhelming, inspiring, saddening, and informative, but I can't recommend this book enough.

SeeJulieRead I just bought this book! What do you think so far? 8y
Laura_Kaihoi @SeeJulieRead I like it! I haven't had a ton of time to read, only on chapter two. But I've already underlined three quotes which I don't usually do, so I'm sure it's going to be fantastic! Good choice! 8y

I can't remember the last time it took me so long to read such an amazing book. This was so hard. So raw. So important to experience. This is definitely a story this world needs to know. I hope some day I can meet Colson Whitehead to thank him for his work, but for now I will just spread word of it and hope people learn from him.

"The negro's story may have started in this country with degradation, but triumph and prosperity would be his one day."

Sadly this has yet to be seen in many places in America. Thankfully we have a hope of a better future for everyone as awareness is being raised as never before, and ignorance is (hopefully) being removed from the majority's mindset.

Alright guys, which do I choose for my book of the month? Wangs vs. the World, or The Wonder???

Crysboehne I'm having the same struggle! I can't decide. 8y
BookishMarginalia I read The Wangs and really enjoyed it (I have The Wonder but haven't tackled it yet because the font in the NetGalley copy is very very tiny 😬) 8y

Once I heard Nathan Fillion was a narrator for this book I knew I had to listen.

Went to Haiti for this first time this May on a mission trip. I instantly fell in love with these people who have been through, and continue to live in, horrible conditions, yet are still the most joyful people I've ever met. Time to try to experience some of the hell their corrupt political history has filled out to them. #haitilove #ayiti
