So far so VERY good 🤓
“The spider‘s web is a home and a trap”🕷

(Bonus Points for a character referencing another favorite author, Louise Erdrich)

So, in total I currently have 11 books checked out of the library. What am I currently reading? This one from my own shelves! 🙄

My latest library haul! 📚❤️🤓

This one is VERY good so far ...

What an amazing and unique tale. There are two distinct narratives and when they intersect it is completely unexpected and stunning. Masterpiece! 🤓

Loving the tagged book, what a great voice this author has ...

“The longer I live, Burke, the more I have come to understand that extraordinary people are eroded by their worries while the useless are carried forward by their delusions”

(BTW, Burke is a camel 🤓)

1️⃣ The Overstory by Richard Powers. I just need to read it already!!!
2️⃣ Chocolat by Joanne Harris. The woman is so good she makes the Wind a character and she made me love the tropes of the precocious child and quirky villagers.
3️⃣ In the words of Buzz Lightyear ... To infinity and Beyond!!! 💫
4️⃣ Maid by Stephanie Land and apparently I'm in good company - it made Obama's summer reading list
5️⃣ BookBabe; Lynnsoprano; booksandsympathy

And MORE library holds! 🤓

Oh boy, is this one good. I‘m not sure why, but I crave a good western every so often. I‘ve recently rewatched 3:10 to Yuma (the Russell Crowe version) and the Cohen brothers remake of True Grit. I really need to FINALLY read Lonesome Dove, right?!? 🤓

Picked up some Library Holds 📚 ❤️🤓

Small Spoiler: Just after this passage we meet a hero who helps this hurting child whose parents have died start to heal and that hero is the head librarian ... oh my heart 💔

This book is breaking my heart! 💔

Hi Litsy Friends, I‘m curious...how many Library holds do you currently have?? I have 13!!! 🤓

(FYI: You do know they‘ll all come in at once, right?!? 🤣)

“...and Wynn posited that these were the mother birds with hatchlings who had refused to leave their nests until just before the flames. That was heartbreaking if you thought about it.”

After having read and loved CELINE and hearing Anne Bogel aka Modern Mrs Darcy rave about this one I thought I‘d give it a try and oh boy, I am IN !!! 🔥 🌲 ⛺️ 🛶 🎣

Wow. This book was perfect. It will stay with me and I urge everyone to read it.

Just starting this one. Am I the only ill informed person who thought The Underground Railroad was his debut?? This one is actually Colson Whitehead‘s NINTH Book! After just a few chapters I‘m kicking myself I haven‘t read him before🤓

If I kept quiet, she might tell a story. But she had to work up to it, like a wave you can see coming from far out. First, she said, she had to find her story breath, which wasn‘t the same as her living one.

Book Lights are the BEST!!! 💡

Four months ago I had surgery to repair my broken leg. Yesterday I finally was able to move back into my own home. I‘ve still got more recovery ahead-I‘m walking with a cane and wearing a knee brace-and am told it will be another six months before my leg is back to ”normal”. Emotionally I‘m all over the place, but grateful to be back in my cozy environment with all my books again. This title is just what I‘m needing, a fairytale escape!

Proud of my son every day, but especially when he‘s photographed saving a 🐶

♥️⚽️🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆⚽️♥️

Thank You All for your kind messages-you‘re encouragement is excellent medicine!!! 💗💕💗

I‘d appreciate all the thoughts, prayers, good vibes and positive mojo you can send my way dear Litsy friends! I‘m just home from the hospital following surgery. I fractured my tibia plateau in two places while out hiking. Lots of challenges ahead and for right now I can‘t even read, keep falling asleep because of the painkillers and muscle relaxers I have to take for the next few days. Thank You 🤕

Yes, please, I‘d like to visit Paris. And yes, I‘d like my room of my own to be inside a bookshop .....

Let the cover envy begin!

I ordered this because it sounded intriguing then was blown away by the gorgeousness!!🤓

Enjoying my current read! 📖

So, this is interesting, I ordered a book called Old Baggage, but this is what I received 🤔 The inside is The Tattooist of Auschwitz too! What really bothers me is that if the incorrect title hadn‘t been embossed on the outside I might not have noticed the inside pages were wrong - makes me want to check all my unread books!

Living up to the hype...🤓

A 25% off New Year sale at Malaprops in Asheville NC + a generous gift card from my son and his wife = a fantastic book haul!!!🤓

OMG, this is amazing!!!📚🌿🤓

Started tonight and already drawn into this narrative and it‘s seemingly unreliable protagonist...

I‘m thankful for all of you!!!🤓

And probably really enjoyed it —and the sequels too— but I recently DNF‘d it. What‘s your most recent DNF???

Damn, this is GOOD!!!🤓

Today is a perfect fall day meant for reading on the back porch, with temps around 60 here in NC and a delightfully light breeze.🍁🍂🍁

I haven‘t been around much lately, how the heck are ya??🤓

Victorian novels are full of social criticism, and the themes the Victorians examine, from class struggles to industrialisation, from religion to women‘s position in society, always fascinate me. Besides, no one writes love stories quite like the Victorians.

Is anyone else participating in #victober over on Booktube?!? My first read is Jane Eyre - I thought I‘d start the month off right with a reread of a favorite. I know @SharonGoforth and @shawnmooney are participating-anyone else? Here‘s a link to a video by the founder of the event if you‘d like to join in the fun 🤓

What a lovely lady @annebogel turned out to be - warm, kind and funny too!🤓

Anyone else attending this book signing with Anne Bogel at Malaprops in Asheville NC tonight?!?📚❤️🤓

I decided to start this one this evening and see that @Liberty is also reading it, so I‘m in good company 🧜‍♀️
