1. Dead Silence and Shiver
2. You Suck
3. Checked out Cultish and haven't had a chance to start it. I'll probably just check it our another time :(

Andrew and I are listening to this now. Main character is Not Like Other Girls and very insufferable 😫

Three bingos! 🎉

1. In between a lot of stuff right now 🥴
2. I think Goodreads is the easiest. Litsy I just use for fun.
3. Shiver by Allie Reynolds

I didn't think October was a good reading month, but now that I'm looking at it I don't think it was that bad 🤷🏻‍♀️

Been reading these with Andrew (finished You Suck a couple days ago, started Bite Me yesterday). He's really enjoying them. I am enjoying them, though slightly less. They're fine...but they definitely read like a man wrote them in the early 2000's, if that makes sense? But I am enjoying reading together, and it's hard to find books that he's interested in, so I'll take it 😂

It took a very very long time to figure out how to stream this audio book to both mine and my husband's bluetooth ear buds at the same time 🥴

Something spoOoky for October 👻 Now I need to check Hoopla for vol. 2!

1. Discovering Scarfolk
2. The only book I've finished so far this month was only so-so 👀 But I'm enjoying the above book and also have some other fun stuff lined up.
3. Anything by Grady Hendrix, but Horrorstor is my favorite!

#WeekendReads @rachelsbrittain @Blueberry

Finished the book, but I think Scully wasn't ready for me to get up quite yet 🤔
@Blueberry

September wrap up! I did pretty good this month! Now I'm gonna read some spookier stuff for October 👻
@Blueberry

An actual Amazon review of The Lesser Key of Solomon 😂

Listening to this for bookclub! It's definitely not the type of book I normally reach for (YA, fantasy, orphanage and/or school vaguely resembling the X-Mansion) but I'll give it a shot.

I ordered this from Book Depository last week after drinking too much wine 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 The good news is this totally looks like something I would read without wine as well 😛 Lots of crazy images inside. This is going to be fun!

I recently finished reading Long Division & WOW. Where to even begin. It really did have a bit of everything. Humor, love, time travel...what more could you need 😛 I'm still trying to wrap my head around the ending. But in the meantime I had to do my nails so figured why not paint them to match? I'm quite pleased with how closely I was able to match the colors! 🌈 I posted this on my nail IG & the author commented & shared it, I'm so flattered 🤩

Just finished this on audio! So crazy! Hidden Bodies is COMPLETELY different than S2 of You! I will eventually read the 3rd book (You Love Me) but I need a little break from Joe...👀

1. Apple cider or hot cocoa ☕
2. Last week I found cookies and cream M&M's and they were called Cookies and SCREEEEAMS which I thought was cute lol.
3. A lot of my regular decor is stuff I bought around Halloween 😅😂 But in October we also get pumpkins & mums.
4. I agree with @Blueberry , something by Grady Hendrix!
5. Candles, apple cider donuts, Halloween cards
6. All my spooky books 👻

I've recently gotten into the podcast Welcome to Night Vale! It's so weird and fun. I had heard of it before, but didn't actually give it a listen until I stumbled upon a used copy of this at the store. It has transcripts of the first year of episodes and some other fun bonus content. So far my favorite episodes are "A Story About You," and all the episodes with the Glow Cloud. I guess the cover inspired this weeks mani ?

Phew, I survived 😅

I love these boxes that The Story (aka Zola) shipped in 😂

Reading in my backyard. It's SO nice outside. Finally cooling down 😊

1. Fall. Still not too cold and the added fun of Spooky Season 👻
2. Anything Halloween related EXCEPT haunted houses and the like 👀
3. The Literary Man Hotel, in Portugal. But more realistically...Strand, or Powells lol.
4. Vienna sausage was on sale at Shopper's today 😂

@Blueberry @Eggs #WonderousWednesday

Yay! 🥳

1. Not especially, though some authors are a little predictable 😅 But I try not to over think it, I like letting the story progress naturally.
2. Series of Unfortunate Events!
3. Not really a trope, but I like books written in unconventional formats!
4. Today I am grateful for library cards and coworkers that show up on time 👀

Thanks @Eggs ❤ Your turn @Blueberry 💙 #WonderousWednesday

When a new Chuck Palahniuk book comes out I always want to give it a chance ... but deep down I know he hasn't written a good book since 2007 🥲

Some late night manga reading on the porch🌛 My husband got me a bunch of Excel Saga mangas for my birthday last month!

Now that the secret's out...😂 I had pre-ordered this book to gift to @blueberry for her birthday when she came to visit. But it arrived earlier than I thought it would so I sneakily read it before giving it to her 😅 I really enjoyed it and I hope she does too 🔪 👀

Last year I got really into the show Big Little Lies, starring Nicole Kidman! After finishing Big Little Lies I learned it was based on a book by Liane Moriarty. I put it on my TBR. Last month I saw a commercial for the show Nine Perfect Strangers, also starring Nicole Kidman! It seemed interesting & vaguely ominous. I looked it up & it's ALSO based on a book by Liane Moriarty! The show comes out in August, so this time I'll read the book first.

For June bookclub we picked a LGBTQ+ book for Pride month! I ended up finishing it way early...my hold from the library came quicker than expected, and it was just an easy book to get though! The audio is read by Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, In the Heights) and he did a great job. I love that they picked a reader not only of the same ethnicity as the characters, but a strong advocate of the LGBTQ+ community.

1. Still working through Grady Hendrix's Satan Loves You. I keep reading some & then setting it aside to read other stuff 👀 It's not as good as his newer books.
2. I finally want to start reading S.! I finished my book club book (mentioned in #3) super early so I think this is a good time.
3. For book club we're reading Aristotle & Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, in honor of Pride month!

I was really looking forward to this month's book club pick, because Circe has been on my TBR for awhile, simply because I'm always seeing it mentioned everywhere! So I expected to enjoy it! However I thought it was pretty boring, and despite covering a lot of ground it didn't manage to have a plot. Didn't hate it but wouldn't recommend it to anyone, either. @Blueberry

Who's looking for a job?

Owl! at the Library is one of my favorite Twitter accounts 🐸

I'm really into Schitt's Creek right now 😂

🧟‍♀️🧟🧟‍♂️

@Blueberry

Romantic reading date at the Jiffy Lube 😅
Husband is reading the newest Dresden Files book!

@Blueberry

1. Cherry by Nico Walker 🍒
2. Mrs. March by Virginia Feito
3. Either coffee or tea ☕🍵

Amazon has a selection of free books to download and keep for World Book Day :) I don't think you even need a Prime account, you just need a base Amazon account to claim them, and a Kindle account to read them.

Someone on Reddit made Joe's basement in Animal Crossing 😂😂😂

1. Actually just finished a book so nothing right now 😳
2. Peony in Love by Lisa See...has flora in the name, too! Double whammy!
3. Honestly I so rarely rate books 5 stars...I'm not sure what the last one was 😂 Maybe the last volume of Saga?

@Blueberry @rachelsbrittain #weekendreads

Character limit here, so I wrote a longer review on goodreads which I'll link below if you're curious BUT in short: I like the idea, I like the theme, but I don't think I liked the actual story or Calvino's writing style. Maybe skip this book & listen to SYGNYL: A General Mystification instead (which is what my bookmark is from 👀) https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3899661623

1. Yes, A Series of Unfortunate Events and Regarding the Fountain. 👀

2. Usually not unless I find a cover REALLY unsettling lol.

3. The Giving Tree 🌳

@Blueberry @MoonWitch94 #thoughtfulthursday

Finished the book club book two weeks early 🙈 Had a lot of fun reading this and trying to piece it all together!

1. Bay Area, California 🌞
2. Anne Arundal County, Maryland 🦀
3. Two brothers 🙋🏻
4. Maybe something Berenstain Bears? Or Boom Chicka Boom Boom lol. 🐻 🌴

Rainy night porch reading 🌜

"...then from the very first page you realize that the novel you are holding has nothing to do with the one you were reading yesterday."

Sorry for the poor formatting, this was for my IG story but I wanted to share it here, too! Everything I read in March. I didn't finish If on a Winter's Night yet because I took a break to finally finish the Rachel Bloom book I started in February.

@Blueberry

1. The only answer for this is Frog & Toad.
2. Lately it's been two. One is whatever I'm reading for book club & the other is something to read when I don't feel like reading the book for book club 😅
3. I don't know the main setting (like, country or state) but I can say so far we've spent a lot of time in a bookstore lol.

@Eggs @Blueberry #wonderouswednesday

1. If on a Winter's Night a Traveler (WEIRD)
2. The newest Susanna Clark book...forgetting the name?!
3. None right now! But I need to order my next bookclub book soon.

Woke up to a surprise ARC of Shoulder Season from @StMartinsPress ! Can't wait to dive in!
