Okay, not book related. I‘m listening to the tagged while working my mini farm though! We are having 3 ducks for thanksgiving this year. These are the untouchables! Left to right: Speedy, Not Dinner (who almost was 😱),Lucky (who also almost was), Nelly, and Plucky. 💛

I had to stop reading this because of all the times it made me cringe. The children in the foster system have a lot on their plates. That pain is very real, and how they deal with it can many times not be in healthy ways. I‘m not saying this is a good or bad book. I‘m just saying I personally can‘t read anymore because of the depressing material within it. This is for #YABuddyReads and #BookSpinBingo in November

4✨ This is a historic event I remember hearing about, but lost in my memory. I really liked the storyline all be it pretty sad. A group of various individuals find themselves traveling together to escape the war. Some make it out, and the others sadly do not.

5✨ I love this series. It has more depth than just a kids comic book. This one has elements of Charles Dickens “Tale of Two Cities” and Million Dollar Man references. We have a new cloned character and an improvement to a previous villain.

3✨ I‘m not sure what to say on this one. It was nothing I read before. My family is from Ohio so I‘m familiar with Amish culture, but like Bailey I still have a lot to learn. There was a lot of people with motives so it kept me on my toes. I did not end up figuring out who did if. However, the ending was very good getting to the ending had hard emotions to battle through. Overall, I‘m interested in continuing the series. #LMPBC #GroupM

2✨ Okay I am not the biggest fan of Jessica. She started dating a player who she was madly in love with. Changing herself to suit him was uncharacteristic of her as a character. Then she continues to use others. Still going to keep reading because I like Elizabeth.

Yay! I love this so much. I can decorate more of my shelves and the puzzle definitely fits me very well! Thank you @rather_be_reading for hosting, and thank you @Karisa for picking out the perfect puzzle. 🥰💛

5✨This was one of my most anticipated this month, and it did not disappoint! The mystery was solid and well thought out. I was dancing around a few potentials and there was reason the non-killers were shady too! Dude! So glad I was able to binge read this today. 🤩🥰💛 #onceuponabookclub

When Callie needs attention. 😹

3✨ What the heck?! I could not put this down because I needed to know what happened. This was set with a reverse timeline with a ten year time jump as well throughout. Along with 2 missing girls. When I got to the end I was trying to process what happened still. It was clearly spelled out by that time, but wow.

3✨ The story of Marlee from the selection. She was the countries favorite until she was caught with a guard! She was such a sweet character so I‘m really glad I got to read more about her. Forgot to mention this was my November #DoubleBookSpin @TheAromaofBooks

Whew… this is confusing. What happened?! I must know. 🤓

2✨ The first chapter was hard to read. After that it had sprinklings of sexuality that I felt wasn‘t needed at all. Like we could say she was maturing without what was stated. The story was pretty good, and I wanted Beth to get a real win. I just had a hard time liking this book as a whole. The series follows the book really well so I didn‘t see much more depth that I was hoping to find.

3✨ I don‘t completely understand why there was the secret. This is why I didn‘t rate it higher. This is the type of story that needs to be told. Sometimes it seems that history is being erased because it offends someone. In reality it should offend you because it was wrong and that‘s why change was sought. I think I heard about the horrid injustice before, but didn‘t remember until it was explained in this book. Read for #MGBuddyReads @megnews

Opened and super excited! Don‘t want to spoil what it is just in case you are more patient than me. 🤩🥰

Yay me! 🥰

4✨ I am sad this is over. I had so much fun in the world Glass created. The characters find peace as their stories end. Many of the stories concluded with relatively happy ends. The battles throughout the story prove deadly for a few. Excited to talk about it more with friends.

Yay! My library is now properly festive. 🥮🌾🍂🍁

@Karisa the packages did come the past couple of days. I‘m excited to see what you found for me. 😍 @rather_be_reading

My latest books I‘m cataloging into my library app. Trying to clean up my library while doing laundry so I can decorate for thanksgiving. I‘m also audiobooking after this to hopefully finish Mother of All today.

Thank you for the tag @wanderinglynn 1.) I‘m reading/audio booking the tagged book as well as physically reading “Winter in Ireland” for one of my LMPBC groups. 2.) I like Goodreads and I also have a photo journal to keep track of the series‘ I‘m reading. 3.) Well, I normally don‘t Google books, but on Amazon I checked out Star Trek “River of Blood” Please tag yourself if you want to play. 🥰

2✨ Well, not my favorite beauty and the beast retelling. This version gives us the princes perspective. I wish the prince/beast was given a name like the book before this one did. It showed more of the transformation of the prince as he became the beast we see. The story felt forced and was pretty uninteresting. It had some twisty parts of how the beast was pretty much losing his mind, but it didn‘t talk about that much it was just there.

Too fun not to share! 🤣

A little late, but I did send out my #puzzleswap Thank you @rather_be_reading for hosting. 🥰💛

Three days down and doing good!

Not as happy with this chapter, but feeling confident that this story is coming together. 🤩

I‘d say I had a great first day! I set up a skeleton plan to focus my thoughts for each chapter. I‘m intending to write this month a total of 30 chapters. Hopefully, that will give me 50,000 words.

Halloween with the Paw Patrol and Mayor Humdinger. We had a blast at our church carnival. 🥰💛

Using my journal from a #onceuponabookclub box to plan my novel for #Nanowrimo who else is going to try writing a book this coming month? Mine is a mystery cozy. I‘m almost halfway through my skeleton plan. 😍🥰💛

So I reallly wanted to read the next Dogman since I put in on my #bookspin and #bookspinbingo list twice so I‘ll pick a random romance that‘s been collecting dust. I‘m going to try to finish one more book before the end of tomorrow so hopefully something else will go there. @TheAromaofBooks

5✨ Such a funny series! It has “Flip-o-Rama‘s” that my partner chuckled at me while seeing me reading. The animation is simple, the story wording is childlike, and I just love that it incorporated other stories and child games such as: Flat Stanley and Rock,Paper, Scissors. Plus it‘s so SHINY! Read for #roaringwolf (Just for Fun) Green on the cover. Plus I got a bingo with this one. #bookspinbingo

3✨This took me a long time to get into, but it was cute just like the original series. I love the idea that the candy witch from Hansel and Gretal had a daughter that wants a cooking show. A great lesson in being yourself and happiness can only be gained by doing so.

I had to DIY my costume. They don‘t make Rocky from Paw Patrol in adult sizes. “Green means Go!” 😍🥰💛

I absolutely LOVE everything! The bag says:”The hardest part about a zombie apocalypse is pretending I‘m not excited” 🤣 I haven‘t read and don‘t own any of the books. The zombie socks are going to pair nicely with my costume tomorrow. Thank you sooo much @Lauranahe ! Also thank you @wanderinglynn for hosting. 😍🥰💛

I have been seeing all the scareathon posts so am excited to participate this time in #wintergames2021 with @StayCurious and @Clwojick I‘m excited to find out what it‘s all about and cheer my team on. 😃🤩

4✨ The biggest challenge in writing a review for a beast of a book is where to start. There is 3 books in this 1000+ page read. The first is set to talk about a super flu that wipes out just about everyone. Some characters are in the story long enough for King to state: “No great loss.” I mean wow to be written in just to get that brush off? In book 2 we see there is two sides the God side and the Flagg side who is basically the dark one.⬇️

Eek! Sorry everyone @Littlewolf1 and I meant to post your #roaringwolf challenges sooner. I hope you enjoy #nauticalnovember If you want to join in just tag both of us with the hashtag(s) to have entries for our monthly and yearly drawing. 💛

Sorry I‘m a little MIA I‘ve been reading the tagged beast! Not even halfway there. 😅

5✨By far my favorite in the series so far! I laughed out loud so many times I lost count. Greg and his family go on a road trip… mom‘s idea of course. Naturally, pretty much everything goes wrong. It reminded me of The National Lampoon Vacations. Hilarious! Read in one day for wolf frenzy (just for fun) #roaringwolf @Littlewolf1

Thank you for the tag @SeaToSkyes 1.)I keep several journals: 1 for each kid to tell them how they grow, a devotional journal, a work journal on what works and what doesn‘t for the following year, one for my book stuff, and a general journal. 2.)So far so good! 3.)I am grateful my formal evaluation is done! @Eggs Do you want to play @Littlewolf1 ? Anyone else want to join who is still in Wednesday.

I got it @wanderinglynn 🥰 To the hiding place it goes. 💛 Thank you @Lauranahe 🥰💛🎃👻🧟‍♀️

3✨ I really enjoyed the fairy gardens mentioned. There was a lot of potentials for the killer so it kept me guessing. I was not a fan of the dialogue throughout the book. The whimsy of the plot was what kept me going since I wasn‘t invested in the characters. If they continue the series I‘m not going to continue. Here is the fairy garden I made while I was listening. 🥰💛

3✨This is the end of this comic series and man… I don‘t know what to say. It wasn‘t a bad ending. It was just really strange. While it made sense because it explained what happened it didn‘t feel like a good ending in my eyes. Oh well, still a good series. 😊

Going to make a fairy garden while I listen to the tagged book. 🥰😍

Hey Group F. I‘m really excited about this and as I mentioned I‘m not normally a romance reader, but I had 2 of these in my TBR (one I own) and the other two I‘m pretty excited to read too! Warning that Winter in Ireland is book 5, but they do not appear to be linked. Please double check before selecting it. @Littlewolf1 @suvata @DGRachel @BethM

Saw this on Facebook and had to share. 🤣

4✨ Another really good book this month! Dee had the tragic experience of watching her best friend Sibby abducted and was almost taken herself. Ten years later she is hosting a podcast to find people that went missing, but hides behind a voice modifier and code name. When she gets a tip about Sibby things get intense. I felt while this was really good it wasn‘t that realistic in situations and outcomes. Still made a great story though! #YABuddyRead

Hello #GroupM #LMPBC here is what I have on hand. If none of these look good let me know. Being open with you that the middle two are labeled as Christian if that is something you don‘t read. @suvata @Jadams1776 @Jerdencon @Kangaj1

They are filling up fast! If you want to participate in winter romance there is still 2 spots. Check out @suvata page for details.

This looks like fun! Read details on @rather_be_reading page.
