Started this last night as my βreading myself to sleepβ book. Only a chapter in but I am already enjoying it! There is something very Dr. Who about the takers and the way they are only aware of you when you are aware of them, cousins to the Silence and Weeping Angels maybe with sensory input/output being an important factor for all three βmonstersβ... Just thinking out loud...
βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ I really enjoyed this βjust the factsβ non-fictionalized telling of the Salem Witch Trials! It doesn't matter how many books I read on the subject, (and I have read a lot!) I always learn at Least one new thing in each book!
pickβοΈ βοΈ βοΈβοΈβοΈ LOVED this second installment in the trilogy! I can really relate well to all of characters; the story line is fresh and imaginative, being, in my opinion, a perfect blend of reality and fantasy; the romantic tension is just right for me, I am not big on romance in stories but Holmberg got it right in this series! Cannot wait to read the final book!
My library has a WINTER READING CLUB!! ππ»π. I had no idea, and am super excited! My girlies and I will be signing up for sure!!π₯°
Started this sequel to The Paper Magician this morning; I fell in love with Ceony and Emery in the first book and am really looking forward to reading more about them!
pickI almost didn‘t read this book because I so intensely loathed the television adaptation.
I am so glad I took the advice of @WhatThePuck & @MaleficentBookDragon and read it anyway because I LOVED IT and am looking forward to the rest of the series!!
My house is small and my sacred space doubles as a bedroom for my 3 year old and 1 year old granddaughters. Since I store all of my spiritual books in this space, I keep all of their spiritual books in there as well ... these are three of my favorites!
One of my favorite things: Reading this book with my Noodle! I know I have posted this book before, but it is just such an awesome book for little goddesses-in-training; emphasizing in simple language what every little girl needs to know to be a Warrior Goddess!πβ€οΈπ
@BookwormAHN The 3rd book from #lmpbc #groupc #round3 is on it‘s way. I will be starting your personal book this weekend and will get it back to you as soon as possible; I am really excited about this one!! πππ». Again, I am so sorry for this huge delay! πβ€οΈ
Started this on audio today, although I am a bit unsure about this choice. I LOVE vampire tales and I normally LOVE Del Toro, however, I didn‘t make it past the first season of the TV series before I abandoned it with much disappointment. Time will tell...
ππ The only other Maberry book I have read is Beneath the Skin, and I enjoyed that one. LULLABY, however, gets two thumbs down for stealing 32 minutes of my life that I will never get back! I am a fan of the short story, but this one was aptly titled; had I not been driving it totally would have put me to sleep!
...when you have 42 minutes left in your audiobook and your break at work is only 30 minutes long ... the struggle is real!ππ€£π€
OMG! @Maewyn You are the BEST! I am in total witch heaven!! ππ€ The books are both PERFECT (πwe got each other the same book!π€), the coffins are adorable, GUYS THE CAT COFFIN HAS MUTICOLORED LIGHTS!! This is the most awesome book sleeve EVER; & the button on the closure is FANTASTIC! You made me weepy with the owl & your note stating you made it for me since I don‘t have a familiar!!π. Her name is Athena, & we have already bonded!
I needed a new lighter, and since I just started reading The Paper Magician I couldn‘t pass up this one with the paper birds on it! Synchronicity!π€
@Maewyn It is all boxed up and off to post in the morning! I had so much fun shopping all the local witchy shops, my mom even came along and we made a whole day of it! I hope you enjoy it all as much as I enjoyed finding it all!ππ€π. #witchpleaseswap
pickI am LOVING this series! This one started strong, started to lose my interest a bit getting a wee bit hokey in the middle, but pulled out of the hokiness and sucked me right back in! I NEED MORE!π€π€£π€

I had sooo much fun shopping for this swap today! I usually do all my swap shopping online, as I hate going to the store. But I love going to the witchy stores and hit up two of them today!!
And the last estate sale haul pic: A pair of old Freemason manuals. The one on the left is copyright 1934, the one on the right 1945....the one on the right is also almost entirely in code! π€
And this beautiful book was only $2! I am not interested in pristine antiques, I much prefer a book that looks it‘s age! I have a thing for those Grimm boys, and am thrilled to have found this!
Another estate sale find, this one for $0.50!! This is my first ever graphic novel, I am excited to read it! I just re-read the original last month, so this was perfect timing!
OMG!! π³ @Jadams1776 you have TOTALLY spoiled me!! Everything is DEAD ON! (Pun totally intended). I actually opened early this morning before leaving on an 8 hour estate sale extravaganza, and I ate all the Dove‘s while out and about, so they didnt make the photo shoot! THANK YOU!! I am in HEAVEN!! #itstrulycriminalswap
OMG!! I cannot believe you cross stitched for me! I LOVE IT & timing is perfect, I am getting ready to redecorate our rarely used guest bedroom so it can double as my girl-cave! I actually got a little weepy when I saw the stitched artwork, I am so grateful for this handmade beauty! The books & bookmarks are PERFECT, & I am pretty sure we got each other the same candle!π€£ THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!πHope you enjoy your opening! #tolkieniteswap
@wordslinger42 Your #tolkieniteswap box is going to the post office tomorrow, thanks to my Noodle who helped me pack it up all safe and sound!! π Not sure if Saturday counts as a shipping day or not but it should arrive no later than Tuesday. Sorry for cutting so close!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed shopping for it!π
This will soon be on its way to you @Jadams1776 I have now added the books you will find in this box to my own TBR! π€£π I hope you enjoy your box!! #itstrulycriminalswap
I just realized that i have not mailed my LMPBC book....I am sooo sorry! I am usually uber organized but this past month has been a whirlwind! I will get it in the mail tomorrow for two day delivery! Again sooo sorry!!!
On a related note, i have not yet received a book either...hopefully someone else is just a bit behind and it didn‘t get eaten by the postal service!
pickβοΈβοΈβοΈ So I LOVE the movie, it is one of my all time faves! I had never read the book .. i chose the audio version because Rob Reiner narrates it. I LOVE Rob Reiner and he was the director of the movie; i thought it should be a perfect match! I was wrong! ROB REINER IS A HORRIBLE NARRATOR!!! I need to read the physical version to get a true feel for the actual written story...
pickβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈAs good as the first!! I am really enjoying this series!!
pickβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ I last read this book when I was about 10 years old; it left an indelible impression on me and i was nervous to read it again for fear of doing damage to my intensely fond memories. My fear was completely unfounded, I loved it just as much, if not more, as an adult as I did as a child!
pickβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ Madeline Miller is AMAZING!! I read Circe a few weeks ago and simply loved it! Song of Achilles was equally as enthralling! I need more! I am lost between two worlds β the world of Miller‘s mythology and my own β my world is beautiful, but I want more of hers!!
I am reading this one very slowly and deliberately, in both audio and physical book, as it is one of those books that requires a lot of attention to detail to avoid missing subtle and important plot points. I am 19 chapters in to this massive 80 chapter read and am LOVING it!! This is my first Murakami, and I am sure it will not be my last!
pickβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ Finished this one yesterday, second in the series. This one wrapped up a little too easily and a little too suddenly, but to be honest, I read these cozies as pallet cleansers between more involved, intense, or darker books, and this one was very enjoyable, with likable characters and suited it‘s purpose very nicely! I will definitely continue the series!
It turns out that The Wish Granter is the 2nd book in a series, so I will go with the 1st book in the series instead: The Shadow Queen.
The Singing Bones does not really make a good fit for the whole markup/annotation thing. I pulled my copy off my TBR shelf and every other page is an art print & every other page is literally only one paragraph or less of text.

Any Scribd users out there?
I have an Audible subscription but run out of credits quickly and have been thinking of a Scribd subscription.
If you use Scribd can you share if you are happy with their selection and the service in general?
pickβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ I totally enjoyed this retelling of Peter Pan! It was darker than the original, a little bit steampunk, the characters were realistic/believable, and the storyline was almost too believable - I could totally see this happening! Listened to the audiobook and both the male and female narrators were amazing!!
I am on a Fairy Tale kick right now so my options are reflecting this:
1. Curioser and Curioser by Melanie Karsak
2. The Singing Bones by Shaun Tan
3. The Wish Granter by CJ Redwine
4. Queen of Hearts by Colleen Oakes

#uprootedbuddyread Chapters1-8 .. 1st #buddyread so I‘m not sure how this works ... OVERALL: I am enjoying this book; it isn‘t sucking me in like I expected it to, and I have to remind myself to pick it up, but I enjoy it while I am reading it. I feel like Nieshka changed from whiny, brat with no belief in herself to confident magician in training way to quickly and painlessy; and sometimes I feel like I have started a series in the middle β>
Count me in!! π€
We need two more peeps in Group C come join in the fun!!

Up next on audio...this one has been on my TBR for a while, so when it turned up as a freebie on audiobooksync.com I figured it was time to read it!ππ€
pickβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ Another free download from audiobooksync.com and to be honest I did NOT expect to like this one; I am not big on love stories & most βovercoming challengesβ stories are trite, sappy and overly βpreachyβ for me. This book however, was very well written with characters who had realistic and believable reaction and responses to events and the sarcasm and humor were spot on as a contrast to the serious issues being raised. LOVED IT!
pickβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈI am six books into this series and still get sucked in as if it is the first! While the rational side of my brain knows that all of the books are basically the same: Bad guy pisses off vampires, vampires retaliate and fail almost dying only to recoup, regroup and save the day β the characters are so lovable and real, the writing is so enjoyable and Tavia Gilbert narrates so brilliantly that I barely notice!!
For @LShelby ... here is the full wall ... 8 guitars: 2 electric, 1 dobro, 1 twelve string, 1 travel electric, 3 acoustic ... 1 concert ukulele, 1 soprano ukulele which still needs to be hung ... and an assortment of percussives, maracas, a washboard and straps! My bf plays the guitars, I play the ukes. πΌπΈπΆ
1. I scream for ice cream!
2. Beach, for sure....just went yesterday!!πππ»
3. Berries of any kind, lots and lots of berries!!
4. Stay home ... the Mississippi provides plenty of awesome islands with beautiful beaches and I prefer to travel in the spring or fall.
5. All of the above!π
