Today was day 1 of my new job- ugh!!! Orientation and modules!!!! So far my peers are nice (quiet though) and it‘s going to be so vastly different from my previous job. ::fingers crossed:: I‘ll fit in. #NurseLife #NewJobWhoDis

#hyggehourreadathon
Started this # HyggeTime early, as I am watching the game and reading this book. I am trying to finish this before the movie (meaning I have to do at least 18 pgs a day - not hard)

Cuddling with 2 of the babies under the heated blanket. I start my new job tomorrow, so I'm not sure what I will do during the actual HyggeHour.

So, I am curious about StoryGraph. I had tried to sign up for Goodreads, but I couldn't really get into that website. I have been hearing a lot about Story Graph, and now, I am curious and want to explore - What should I join? Can I have friends?

My user name is eliza_chapa on it. I will continue to play there to see what's what.

It was okay. I like other AJ Pine's Audible Original Romance books a bit better, so I am gonna say so-so. Also, it's not very spicy, which is fine, but it might have made it slightly better?

Eh — way too much going on for a first book. This one just didn‘t speak to me

November #DoubleSpin - Antique Hunter's Guide to Murder

@TheAromaOfBooks

Love this tradition :) It started with my grandmother, who used to read this to me every December 1st when I was younger, and then she gifted me a couple of copies of it throughout the years. We had very little in common other than our love for reading. This reading from Hugh Grant was perfect! Also was able to get some work done around the house :)

EHH. So the MC was just horrible! Like JUST HORRIBLE, there was a bit towards the end that I had seriously considered #DNF because I couldn't read another one of “will he kill me“ monologues. But I slugged through. The ending was --- eh. I am gonna say it's a “no“ from me.

Lobster is NOT impressed.

My #ThematicCozies pick this month @julieclair

My December 1st tradition 🎄 this year I‘m gonna listen.

No bingos, but good reading! (Which is the most important thing :)
Read my #BookSpin - You'd Look Better Dead; but didn't get to my #DoubleSpin The Antique Hunter's Guide to Murder (didn't even start it, but maybe next month I will :)

Working on my #DecemberList (probably gonna be a bit of a mix between a traditional list and a #LoosyGoosyList

I gotta say “so-so”. Sure the writing is beautiful, but would I recommend it to anyone? No. It‘s too much. Even though the ending wasn‘t what I expected- it wasn‘t enough to encourage others to get there.

#LazloJustBecause

@BarkingMadRead thanks for hosting #HashtagBrigade book

Ugh I hate these people!!!

Another cute book in the Cheese Shop Mystery series :) Boy do I love love CHEESE! 🧀 But the characaters are also cute.

#ThematicCozies @JulieClare

Zoey Just because -- #PugLife #DogsOfLitsy

Found this one on Netflix; it looks interesting. We will see :) #BookToScreen

Never heard of the book, doesn't look like anyone on here has read it either... I

Not bad :) I hated most the characters though, but it held my interest. Finished this while waiting on my doc appointment - now twiddle my thumbs till they see me :(

#BookSpin (new purchase) @TheAromaofBooks

Finished Book 2 and already downloaded Book 3 —- I LOVE CHEESE 🧀

Anyway these are good #AudioCommute books :)

Continuation of my #ThematicCozies books @julieclair

At the car dealership reading this one :) some odd looks by the people in the waiting room - it‘s not even that dark of a book!

Anyway enjoying my snacks :)

Finished this #Audio early this morning. It was super quick. Finished it quickly while doing chores yesterday (I had been low-censused put on call), which I ALWAYS hate!

Anyway, the dynamic of the siblings was a bit disturbing - but believable. Families are complicated.

Pic of some of the bodies in my home :)

Finished my #ThematicCozies Theme Food book today! All the cheese! I am definitely a cheese 🧀 head :) 💚💛💚💛.

I‘m seeing a nutritionist who also told me how good cheese is for my diet :) so I‘m happy :)

Enjoyable book- I‘m going to pick up the next one soon :)

@julieclair

Are any of yall fellow #LosersClub members watching Welcome to Derry??? I am thoroughly enjoying it so far.

It was one of the books that I read way too young for my brain to fathom what was going on, but oh how i loved it! And then fell in love with horror and all things #StephenKing.

Curious to get others optinons on this adapation.

#BookToScreen

My #BookSpinBingo board for November

#BookSpin = Recent Purchase - I have a couple of books in my car that I bought not too long ago, now just to pick one of them ❤️

#DoubleSpin = Antique Hunter's Guide to Murder

My Favorite Month has come and gone. But... Every month has a little October in it! Read some great books. Not sure what/how I am going to do this next year, I don't think I am going to do the #ReCap the way I have been. I know its only November But I want to think ahead. Any suggestions?

#AudioBooks are so needed! I am fortunate to be able to engage in them! I recall that years ago, I had a particularly difficult time with them. And now --- perfect for:

#AudioCommute
#AudioChores
#AudioReSet

#OctoberReCap

#OctoberReCap

I read and listened to several books I own (I must admit, some I purchased this month, but I still own them).

#OffTheShelf @Librariana

My #October #BookSpinBingo Board :) As always, @TheAromaOfBooks I enjoy these bingos :)

I read both my books:
#BookSpin - Vera Wong's
#DoubleSpin - U is for Undertow (#NextInSeries)

Didn‘t read this one first but it was one I saw on Netflix that looked interesting #BookToScreen

#LosersClub #RunningMan #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader

Finished this one today on my errands. I always love #StephenKing, but again, this one hits so close to home in our messed-up world. Ugh! It's scary! Excited for this movie! #BookToScreen

@BarkingMadRead

This was a re-read for me. I love this book and it was perfect to enjoy this one with the #HashtagBrigade and @BarkingMadRead hosting :) Love this group! Can't wait for the next one!

I visited this one 7 years ago. But I figured I would listen to it for both the #LosersClub and for the upcoming movie. (Also, I needed a new #AudioCommute #AudioChore Book)

Finished this one the other day. I haven't been able to send it yet because (well, I lost my wallet, so I am waiting for all that to come in the mail - it's super annoying). Anyway probably by Wednesday. This one is between “so-so“ and a “pick“ because off the body stuff (you will see my point in the annotation)

This was a cute quick audible original that had a lot of nostalgia for me. I have been trying to better at staying away from doom scrolling - which a bit part of this book talked about how much life was simpler in 99. I agree!

Pick of a recent road trip :)

Enjoyed revisiting the Thursday Murder Club - some of my fav characters :)
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Zoey looking at 🍿

I enjoyed this #BookToScreen adaptation 🖤🖤🖤

I know this is an older series- but—- I just devoured it last week, and it was great! #BookToScreen

If y‘all have Netflix I definitely recommend.

Really enjoyed this one- picked it up because the Barnes and Nobel bookseller told me it was up my alley (based on our quick convo and other books I was purchasing) and boy was he right.

@Catsandbooks and @TheBookHippie thank y‘all for your review of this one! I had initially planned to skip September #RiseUpReads book as it didn‘t initially grip me (I‘m rarely a pirate person) but it was so so much more! 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Passed out 🐶

@catiewithac you are too kind! I‘m so excited to start this one today!!! Perfect plan for my birthday 🎂

Spent the day reading :) ❤️❤️

Another Kinsey! I love them! #NextInSeries #DoubleSpin @TheAromaOfBooks

I really enjoyed this one. I feel like I picked it up on a whim (I think it was in a used books bin), and well, I am glad I did. I really enjoyed the story and how it unfolded.

(picture is from some Dolls in the basement of our local bookstore)

Wine, bath, aromatherapy, chocolate, hair dye, and Audio :)

Finished this one today :) I really enjoyed it and will pick up the next one as soon as I go book shopping. I will send my copy out tomorrow or Monday (errand day) 💙💙
