so-soI didn't really know what to expect with this book, but I kept hearing good things about it. It has a slasher film feel to it, which isn't really my thing, but I did enjoy it for the most part. It's a nice little short book if that's what you're into. It's not super gorey, but there is some. I found it interesting, and I do hope there will be a sequel if there isn't already.
I just saw this on Facebook. Barnes and nobles is having a sale for educators. 🍎🍎🍎
Not book related, but it's Crookshanks' first birthday! 🐈🎂🎉
To make it book related I had him pose with my book of cat poems. I'm not a big fan of poetry, but some of the poems are nice.
I've been seeing a lot of Alice in Wonderland posts. My personal favorite is the 150th anniversary edition illustrated by Salvador Dali.
pickI can't recommend this book enough. The documentary is streaming on Hulu I think. They both pretty much say the same thing word for word.
It goes into detail on the death of "the American dream" and the concentration of wealth and power to the 1%. Chomsky discusses the 10 ways he thinks they maintain and gain more power by manipulating the masses into allowing their own suppression. It will make you angry, but I found the information important.

We send children‘s books to the International Space Station.
While in space, astronauts are videotaping themselves reading these books to the children of Earth.
I don't have kids, but I think it's nice.

Banned book week is making me a little homesick for my native Indianapolis. If anyone lives in that area visit the Kurt Vonnegut Memorial Library on my behalf, please. They usually have all sorts of stuff going on for banned book week.
First day of fall! (Where I live). This is going to be my first fall in a new location. I loved fall in the area I grew up, but now I live in a completely new climate. Interested to see the difference.
What sorts of books are you guys hoping to read this fall? I have a hand full of vampire and zombie books I'd like to get read as well as Halloween Party by Agatha Christie.
Litten Librarians, what are some weird items you've found in your books?

Neil Gaiman is doing an AMA on Reddit. I'm not sure if he's still answering questions*, but it's an interesting read none the less. He also provided a link to his best Porridge Recipe. Yum 😊

pickIt's an ARC, but I didn't get it until a few days after the book was out 😆 I got from a grab bag thing at a bookstore. It's not the kind of book I usually read, but I was seeing such good reviews of it on here I was curious about it.
I'm very glad I read it. I think it's a very important book. It's like a coming of age story for adults and it covers so many topics such as race, feminism, and the stigma of mental illness. It was a fanastic read.
They never do ☹️☹️☹️☹️

Seven of the biggest names in publishing filed a lawsuit against Audible on Friday, arguing that its recently announced AI-generated captions feature breaks copyright law.

Uh oh.
Personally I find the whole thing kind of pointless.
pickI didn't really enjoy The Cuckoo's Calling all that much, so I was a bit iffy on reading this one. Good thing I really enjoyed it. I'm excited to read the rest of the series.
Added to my ever growing TBR mountain at the Barnes and Noble book sale. Glad I showed restraint by only getting enough books for the free tote. Super excited about them though.

pickSaw this on Libby. I am a huge Bob's Burgers fan, so I knew I had to get it. No regrets. Poor guy has been through some very awkward and embarrassing moments in his life, but at least he can laugh at himself and invite his readers to laugh with him.
Stole from Reddit.

I wish litsy had a share type thing like Facebook does for moments like this.
I saw this on Facebook 😂
pickTook awhile and I had to renew the loan a few times, but I finally finished it.
It wasn't too different from the podcast. It had a few small changes here and there. I was hoping it would add more to the lore than it did. The audiobook is read by the same person who does the podcast, which made me happy.
Overall, it's just as good as the podcast. I enjoyed it.
I was hoping to be able to finish my ebook (tagged), but he tuckered himself out playing that cat fishing game for cats. I don't want to risk waking the beast.
Whenever I'm on my tablet he paws at it wanting to play with it. I've created a monster.
pickI just finished the Harry Potter Kindle in motion edition. I don't know why I'm such a sucker for Kindle in motion books.
I really enjoyed the artwork. I'm assuming it's the same artwork as in the illustrated editions. I hope the other books are made into Kindle in motion. In a way it's kind of nice since the pictures in the wizarding world move 😋
pickI really enjoyed this book. It might be one of my favorites. I'm excited to know a sequel is coming out in January and I have already pre-ordered it.
Kitty looked super sweet, but then moved when I tried to take a picture. Every time...
I love old books. I got this one from the library book sale.
Or sometimes longer 😩
pickI love this podcast and I really enjoyed the book. I was super excited to find the audiobook on Libby. I really wanted to listen to the audiobook because it's read by who else, but the Voice of Night Vale. Libby also has the second book, but not as an audiobook.
The good news is I've recently moved to a new location, so maybe the new library will have it. If not I will settle for reading it, but probably still in Cecil's voice.

I'm in the process of moving, so I haven't had the time to really play. I took a shower* walk yesterday and played it a little. I'm excited about it. I hope it's as fun as Pokemon Go.
#wizardsunite
*Lol. That's supposed to say short walk. I don't know why it autocorrected to shower. Treadmill in the shower? Portable shower? I think I'm onto something...
A new bookish app for iOS users. I guess an android version is in the works, so keep us posted iOS users! I'm curious about it.

Harry Potter and the Sacred Texts.
I haven't had the chance to listen to it yet. I might try to tonight at work. I guess it's two people who go through the Harry Potter series chapter by chapter and discuss it like it's a holy book or something along those lines. I think it sounds interesting. Just through I'd share in case anyone would be interested.
@aroc I'm sending the book to you. I'm moving at the end of the month, so I hurried up and read before things get too crazy. It will be there by the 10th.
@Lovesbooks87 Because of the move I might have to give you my new address depending on when you send the book. My lease is over on the 30th so I'll be moving then.
@EH2018
Thank you all. I've really enjoyed this. It was a lot of fun.

More short Wizarding World ebooks coming out next month. I enjoyed the last batch Pottermore released.

The benefit of having a library of unread books. Makes me feel a little better about all the unread books I have 😅

Does anyone use book catalogue apps to organize your library? Which do you think is the best one? Are there any that will link your Goodreads and Kindle books?
Another poem from Bo Burnham. I think we've all been there. 😆
This is the poem Magic from the tagged book. I found it amusing. I love Burnham's stand up. His poetry is proving to be equally goofy.

pickSuper excited about this cookbook. I love these games. I think the Morrowind game is free this week if anyone is interested.
1. I work nights so I will probably forget my lunch and eat it when I get home.
2. I just finished my book. I plan to start the tagged book tonight at work. It's the audiobook.
3. I'm hoping to get 10 books done to catch up on my lack of time this month. Need to play catch up so I can reach my Goodreads goal.
