#readyourkindle #readyourebooks @CBee

I may have heavily padded my TBR list with xmas books so it is nice to see one fantasy book snuck it's way in.

blurb

The Poppy War | R.F. Kuang

It's here & just in time for my bookclub reread. Considered one of Time Magazine's 100 best fantasy books OF ALL TIME & definitely one of my favorites from the last several years. I can't wait to dive into this illustrated edition. Be warned, the book itself is definitely not for the faint of heart.

1 is technically a reread (I cheated & but book club books on my list since I do own them digitally) & 1 I put on there solely in hopes that I could finally remove it from my kindle. Definitely an odd mix this month. 🤔

#readyourkindle #readyourebooks @CBee

CBee No cheating! Just kidding 😂 1mo
jackilynn @CBee I mean technically it has been sitting unread on my kindle for years because I read a physical copy before 😜😂 1mo

For November I am introducing my fantasy book club to Hadrian & Royce and I won't lie I am pretty nervous. I love these characters so much and some of the people in my book club are pretty critical. 😬🤞

I have been on the hunt for this book ever since I read it a few years ago. I fell in love with this quirky little read and knew I needed it in my collection. The glow in the dark aspect is even better in person.

Alright my fellow library people I have a question for you because it has become a debate at my library.

Do you add 40+ year old books to your collection or do you only add newer materials?

Keep in mind we are a small library with limited space & odds are these books were once in the collection already and have been weeded due to lack of check outs.

Purpleness There‘d have to be a really, really good reason; at a small town public library I used to work at, we had a local history collection, and would maybe add, say, a memoir of a local figure, even if it was old, but I can‘t think of any other reasons. 3mo
jackilynn @Purpleness these weren't local authors and had nothing to do with local history. I could definitely see adding them if that was the case. 3mo
CoverToCoverGirl I‘m not a librarian but I have been at a used bookstore for twenty years. We/I take books based on what we think will sell. We also don‘t have an age restriction on our books. Our inventory stands at about 25,000. You know your audience/readers, if you think there could be a renewed interest in a select number of older books I would say go for it. Share older books with younger readers. Trust your instincts and knowledge, that‘s how I roll. 🙂 3mo

Let's just say I am really going to miss going back to work full time. July was a great reading month for me. My Storygraph numbers are slightly off because I forgot to add a few hence why I included the Bookmory calendar.

I went a little heavy on the romance for August but I will be heading back to work full time and the first few weeks are always exhausting so I am going to want more fluff less brain power lol.

2.5ish weeks before I go back to work full time (aka school is back in session) & I am trying my hardest to knock as many books of my TBR as I can!!

Currently about 50% through Amina (my fantasy book club pick for July) & just starting Heartless Hunter.

House work done so my plans today consist of soaking up as much Vitamin D as I can while it is semi decent outside (as opposed to hiding out in the AC).

Our true crime book club meets Sunday & I am barely halfway through the book. I think the audiobook just isn't working for me on this one. Time to switch it up. I couldn't get a physical copy in time but thankfully Everand has the ebook available. Don't mind me while I read at work.

blurb

Night of the Witch | Sara Raasch, Beth Revis

Storm hit and the power went out. Guess I am reading by booklight & candlelight tonight. It has been out for a few hrs at this point. The lack of AC and/or air movement is what's really going to do me in though.

The Black Bird Oracle | Deborah Harkness

My personal copy wont arrive at my house until after release day but the library had it ready for me to cover today. Do you know how much will power it took for me not to just forget about work & instead hide in the basement all day reading this?

Since all of my is out of town/state for the 4th and the people I usually spend the day with made different plans this year guess now is as good of time as any pick up the last book in this trilogy. Let's see how far I can get.

Books by 3 of my favorite authors (Tessa Bailey, Alexandra Bracken, & Christina Lauren) and a book I have been meaning to read for years...July looks like it could end up being a great reading montn.

I have really enjoyed these books so I am excited to see how they play out on the small screen. Plus, Gilford is played by the same actor who played Marcus in Discovery of Witches 😍. I know what I'm bingeing this weekend!!

The Dark Half | Stephen King

For some reason the summer always screams Stephen King to me so I figured now was the perfect time to pick up the next book in my journey to read his entire backlist.

jackilynn @JenReadsAlot I prefer the grapefruit one but this one isn't horrible lol 6mo

For some reason summer for me has always meant (well at least the last several years) that I read

1. A Stephen King book
2. The next Outlander book
3. An epic fantasy (usually the next in whichever series I am working)

Now as I work to finish my current reads I need to decide which one I want to tackle first 🤔😬📚

The poem that started it all and introduced the world to The Man in Black aka Randall Flagg. I need this to add to my collection (along with the Secretary of Dreams volumes) but they are impossible to find for a decent price anymore.

A little late but here's my May Wrap up.

May started of pretty slumpy for me (by the last week in May I had only read 4 books) but I think I finally bounced back & made it to the other side to finish strong. I only got 2 of my #readyourkindle books read for May but 2 is better than nothing (technically I also finished one of last months picks as well).

Fingers crossed I can keep up the momentum!

Thinking my next read (after I finish my current line up) I will tackle this. I figured this was a less intimidating tandem read than Empire Storms/Tower of Dawn. 🤔😂

If anyone needs me this summer I will be at job number 2 a little bit more. I still plan to enjoy my summer break but I still have bills to pay as well. I am hoping I can use my break to knock a good dent into my TBR pile but I have found working at a library tends to make my TBR pile bigger not smaller 🤔 #teacheroffduty #libraryclerk

It's like I knew the new Stephen King book would arrive at work today & planned accordingly. Don't mind me. I will be in the basement "covering" the new books ??

vivastory I haven't bought the last couple King books (although I plan on reading them) but I do 100% plan on buying this. A King story collection is cause for celebration. 7mo

Was MIA for a bit. My sisters and I treated my mom to a 5 day girls trip to Seattle. It was quite the city. We saw so much (including this Massive library). Back to reality I go though. I am really not ready to go back to work today.
