My library had a giveaway for Star Wars Day, and I won! 😁
1. Probably 2 stars so far hahah.
2. Welcome to Night Vale (also reread Station Eleven, so obviously that was good, but I think picking that is cheating a bit)
3. Libraries (even though mine does not have an adult summer reading program, which I am bitter about)
@Blueberry @Eggs #wondrouswednesday
pickCute book 😊 Haven't read Kate DiCamillo in a long time but she's still just as charming. Buddy read with @Blueberry 😁
1. Welcome to Night Vale AND just started The Beatryce Prophecy to #buddyread with @Blueberry
2. 🤔
3. Played some games with my husband and brother. Back at work now 😅
#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain
1. Dead Silence 👀
2. You Suck 🧛♀️
3. I Can't Remember the Title but the Cover is Blue 😂
@Blueberry @rachelsbrittain #weekendreads
1. Dead Silence (put it on pause for awhile, back at it now).
2. More audio books with Andrew.
3. Haven't finished anything yet but have been reading both Dead Silence and Solaris (which are actually kind of similar...)

Look at this cute library I found in The Lavender Beds! Is anyone else playing ffxiv right now?
#ffxiv #finalfantasy #finalfantasyonline
"You meet at the annual talent show, but then you get stuck in a time loop." Oh geeze ? Hahah your turn @Blueberry
panI hated this book SO much. I don't think I've hated a book this much since reading The Book of Strange New Things in 2015. I hate this book.
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 :(
#WeekendReads @rachelsbrittain @Blueberry
Andrew and I are listening to this now. Main character is Not Like Other Girls and very insufferable 😫
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 🥴
pickSomething 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
September wrap up! I did pretty good this month! Now I'm gonna read some spookier stuff for October 👻
@Blueberry
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!
pickI 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 🤩
so-soJust 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 👻

pickI'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 ?
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
panWhen 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!
pickNow 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.
pickFor 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!
#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain @Blueberry
so-soI 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 😂
