Ok friends. My friend is building my staircase landing library and laughed when I said I would need space for a ladder rail. “You know you can reach the top shelf” to which I replied “you will never understand” Can we all agree that having a ladder is one of the most important parts about having a home library?

Aims42 Yes!!! I agree with you 💯 🙌🏻 3y
squirrelbrain Those shelves are gorgeous! And, yes, you DEFINITELY need a ladder! 3y
BookBabe Lol, I totally get it 😄 2y

Thanks to the Well Read podcast for this recommendation. Going backpacking this weekend and I think this on audio will be a great distraction for when I‘m huffing and puffing up the hills.

Powered_By_Plants Half way through this and loving it 😍 3y
Powered_By_Plants Enjoy your backpacking! ☀️ 🏔 3y

Thinking about this book- it seemed like not very much happened but I LOVED being back in this world. Great setup for the next in the series.

Ok I kind of wish I had read this instead of audio. I felt a bit lost going back and forth between characters. I loved being back in Seoul though.

Cathythoughts I really enjoyed this one 👍🏻❤️ 3y

I liked this except for the side story about the detective. Maybe it was the audio but I hated the language he used. Not in a way that I was offended- I thought it was annoying. I thought it might be an issue of a female author trying to sound like how she thinks men talk to each other? anyone else think that? Am I just getting old???

A sweet little red book for lunch today. Delicious.

Is this my greatest accomplishment? Finally done with this brick. Chose the audio version which was great but I only ended up liking the first half- so the remaining 20 plus hours were a slog. Didn‘t find it very scary. Anybody else?

TheCuriousHousecat Wasn‘t keen on the movie. I was going to try “the stand” but it‘s too long. 5y

britt_brooke @LouLouLane I finished it this afternoon, but still can‘t decide what to think. There are things I loved about it; the weird details, the dark humor. But I‘m not sure I liked the actual story much. Idk. It‘s a pick, though, for sure! 6y

Read this lovely novel about Florida down in South Florida while in one of my favorite coffee shops. I first started this about five years ago when I was walking the Florida trail but my reading was a little all over the place on that trip. Loved it this time through!
