These are books I #readinonesitting and re-read from time to time. I don‘t have a copy of the tagged book, seems I always talk it up to someone then give away my copy to them.😂 #GratefulReads

#menwhomatter If I had to downsize my book collection, books by and about these guys would be among the keepers.

#likeaprayer Love that Madonna song by the way!Singing along to it as I write this!When I have struggled with an unquiet mind using this type of “quote a day “ book from different practices helps me find some perspective and balance!Or you can just #movember to a Madonna tune! A little dance therapy anyone?

Well, we all do what we can.don‘t think I‘ve even got to 10 hours in a #24b4monday still, hanging out on Litsy ,checking everybody‘s progress & snacks , nothing bad about that! Finished 2 books. #MrBook1inamillion

“Why is it so hard to be serious,so easy to be too serious?”The title comes from Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Omega point:the maximum level of complexity & conscious towards which the universe appears to be evolving. A short bk w/ a retired war advisor & a young film maker ,who wants to make a film about him.In conversation in a remote retreat in the desert,their talks made me ponder if we are missing life in the endless static of our modern world.

Some more snacks #MrBook1inamillion #24b4monday Some dills and Kalamata Olives . Even though I was aware of most of the things in the book it‘s mind boggling the amount of duplicity & disgusting behavior within these pages & I‘m only about half way through. #litsypartyofone #readathon @MrBook

It‘s just so damn depressing.To see it sitting there sad,so dry , so much material blacked out.I might find it online and dip into it again, but enough for now.
Life is too short.

Snack time! #MrBook1inamillion #24b4monday Back to massive 🦆🦆#readathon #litsypartyofone
Tillamook extra sharp cheddar with Trader Joe‘s crackers. @MrBook

I was swamped with guests and did not finish in time for #NYRBbookclub discussion,I just finished last night.Gothic & Atmospheric,I kept trying to figure out is it good twin /evil twin or something else all together?I also wanted the adults to pay attention to the children,maybe they wouldn‘t be so weird!

From a library sale today.Most were a buck , one was 50 cents.Shout out to @emilyhaldi the Stephen King is a first edition, sadly no dust jacket , plucked from in front of a scanner person.No barcode on this one , even if it was dust jacketed.😃👍

#MrBook1inamillion #24b4monday Snacks for the #readathon I put the extra Halloween candy away since I‘ve been eating too much of it since Halloween!
#litsypartyofone Maybe some pickles and Kalamata olives too! Not all at once though.🤢 @MrBook

#MrBook1inaMillion #24b4monday I‘m terrible, trying to #readathon ,only a half hour in .worse yet , I‘m in the #NYRBBookclub haven‘t finished last months book and am supposed to be co-hosting this month‘s book!🤦‍♀️Coffee, please☕️☕️☕️#litsypartyofone
@MrBook

Hey @MrBook congrats on that huge milestone!

Not sure I‘m ready to get as angry as this book will probably make me.

Time Flies ? How about things change. I saw on a friends of the library shelf.☹️😡

#favoritebookishitem #gratefulreads I had to post two.My Virginia mug is pretty old ,from the Quality Paperback Bookclub .The Atwood bookmark is the most recent bookmark I purchased.Do I need it ?No.But I couldn‘t resist!

1.F.Scott Fitzgerald,Jack Kerouac,& Virginia Woolf
2.For Fitz & Kerouac where did the magic go? Why did it all end in drink & cynicism?(as if that‘s answerable)with Woolf , let‘s have tea & see where the conversation goes.
3.my guess is about 2500 , if I count, I‘ll post it.Always changing though,I buy, gift , trade, & donate.
Thanks @Eggs #wonderouswednesday

Silva never disappoints.In this the 5th in the series, there are twists and turns a plenty.We also learn more about Gabriel‘s personal life.His books are more than thrillers ,they make you think about art , history, and the complexity of international relations.

What happens when you ask Siri random questions when you first wake up.She also told me I should have chocolate for breakfast.

#music I remember really loving this book!Sad songs can move us like nothing else , there are examples in this book that will remind you of your failed relationships ,general angst,& bad breakups.Some dark humor for added value.#Movember

Had a lot to say about contemporary dating, ambition, feminism,divorce, and kids.These are not struggling people , they have made it, so to speak, funny at times but begs the question, what if everything you wanted is not really what you wanted.

#sundaystack 🎞 #bookstofilms

Saw this book at my local indie.The horrors of war are obvious but the cultural ramifications ripple out in infinite ways.I can‘t wait to read it.

Happy Birthday, Anne Tyler!

Hey @LeahBergen #bookplate of the day . Thrifted a poetry book by Edna St.Vincent-Millay .Inside , this beautiful bookplate! In the lower corner , details reveal it is from 1927 and looks like it was from the stationary department of Bullocks department store.

One of the best things in life! When you go to a bookstore you shopped years ago ..before you moved away...still the same owner, still the same carefully curated selection of wonderful books! Chopin‘s 1st book ,#virago , and a Grace Lumpkin !😻😻📚📚
Happy dance!

Thrift store find Of the day ! Hardcover Beverly Cleary!Hardcover ,1951 second printing,1952😊

Who says a horror cover can‘t be pretty?
Sorry to be not posting, busier than I want to be.🙄

#AutumnLeaves #ScreamathonPhotoChallenge
Just can‘t get rid of a book like this , such a wonderful reference .

#horrorcovercrush day 6
First published in 1979 , the series kept its popularity with young teens (and adults)way into the 80s .V.C.Andrews wrote the first 4 before her death from breast cancer .It was a closely guarded secret for years that the books were ghost written after that .

Share your scary covers ! Had to put a skull one in!☠️

A nice thrift store find! 25 cents! I always heard a story that wife Tabitha encouraged Stephen to pull the first 3 pages of Carrie out of the 🗑 expand it from a short story to a novel .Thanks ,Tabitha!

@Come-read-with-me posted some of her childhood favorites so I thought I would do the same since she asked in her post about my favorite finds .I always think I can let them go , but I can‘t.

#horrorcovercrush day 3
Have any horror covers to share? 🧛‍♂️🧟‍♀️👻👿

https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2019/10/04/new-york-city-map-of-women
Pretty cool!

This is what happens when you get a gut feeling you‘re not done in the bookstore .Virago had a deal with Dial Press ,these black spines leap out at me as do the greens.Dystopian & set in the 24th century.When published in 1947,many passages cut by the censor.Author is pseudonym for Marjorie Barnard & Flora Eldershaw , Australian novelists. I‘m just typing what‘s on the back of the book, maybe some Aussies could chime in?Excited to have it.(1983)

Full of coffee , full of apple cinnamon scone , Full Throttle is coming home with me!

#horrorcovercrush day 2
It‘s October,anybody can join in with their scary covers.😱👻☠️🦇🕷

Over 800 pages! In most cases, I can say I read the book before the movie/series, not this time.Didn‘t have HBO but starting watching GOT on DVD in 2017 .Got HBO just to watch the last season , & am rewatching it again.Excellent book,hope to get to the other books ...soon.Great characters ,great adventure,where is that last book Mr. Martin?🤔

When I need a break from lines and lines of type too close together,Giant Days is a good place to go.Sharing the college adventures of this cast of characters is always entertaining and fun.
