My plans for this rainy night.
I‘m a few chapters into this book and just realized the main character is based on a real person.
There was never any doubt in her mind, even after all these dust-streaked mortal years, that Dacre would one day come for her.

Finally starting this one.
The foot would not fit in my briefcase, so I wrapped it in cloth and wrestled it into an old knapsack I sometimes carry with me on expeditions.

No idea what I‘m getting into with this book, but I like the dedication.
Ugh, so close!! I‘m using the same goal in 2024.
I finally made it to the top of the library hold list for this one. 48 hours long and 21 day loan, eek!
Thank you @JessieKB !! I‘ve been eyeing this book for ages and I‘m so excited to have it. Time to ignore the holiday stuff to read and snack on chocolate. Thanks again and happy holidays!
@MaleficentBookDragon #jolabokaflod is the best swap!
@julieclair Thank you so much for this great #jolabokaflod package. The wrapping was beautiful! I‘m excited for this book and all the chocolates.
Happy holidays!
@MaleficentBookDragon thanks for a great swap.
Two #jolabokaflod packages headed to the post office!
@MaleficentBookDragon packages scheduled to arrive Tuesday
Listening to this one while running errands and this quiet book feels like the perfect counterpoint to all the holiday craziness.
Not sure starting out the week with a sad-ish book is a good idea, but here goes.
Up next, this seems like a good way to kick off holiday reads.
Next up, another book I bought the week i it came out and never started.
I re-read the book last month in anticipation of this, now let‘s see how closely the musical will follow.
@Gissy I love it! I‘ve only read one book by this author and I‘m excited to give these both a try. Thank you so much for all the extras! The book sleeve is perfect and I can‘t wait to start snacking.
Happy Halloween!

@Gissy This wrapping is so fantastic it deserves it‘s own post! I‘m excited to open this #AllHallowsReadSwap
Stay tuned for the “after” pictures.

Thanks so much @BookNAround ! This #HauntedHollowSwap package is amazing and I feel so spoiled! I can‘t wait to dive into the books and I think my favorite is the little ghost in a jar. It‘s the cutest thing ever! With the tote bag and the book sleeve and books I‘m totally in the season.
Thanks so much and Happy Halloween!
@wanderinglynn Thanks so much for coordinating a great swap.

Rachel Smythe did a book stamping event at Comic Con last week.
A sneak peek inside the #HauntedHallowSwap package, already headed west and scheduled to arrive on Tuesday.

After a very rainy day, I arrived home to two slightly soggy book swap packages. The kid opened them, confirmed everything inside was still dry (hooray!) and packed them away so I‘m not tempted to sneak a peek.

Light and fluffy with a crown-wearing frog? I‘m in.
I read this book last year and remember feeling annoyed that I didn‘t predict the ending. I‘m giving it a reread, this time on audio, to see how it feels now that I understand where it‘s going.
This is the longest book I‘ve read on Serial Reader. 150 episodes means I started somewhere in April. Phew!
Up next. Went with the audio book on this one just to listen to Meryl Streep‘s narration.
Up next. Just released in paperback, I decided to pull the hard copy from the bottom of my tbr pile.
“All of them?”

I‘m stepping back into the world of Inspector Gamache and Three Pines.
Curtis McCoy was early for his ten o‘clock meeting so he carried his coffee to a table by the window, where he could feel the watery April sun.

I liked the murder in the midst of a reality baking show story, but something about the ending just didn‘t work for me.
“ I must confess that I did not witness the ship strike the rocks or the crew tie up the captain.”

I haven‘t read an Oprah pick in ages, but this multi generational saga seems to be just what I was in the mood for. His writing is beautiful and I don‘t want it to end.
