Thought the book was ok. If I were 9 or 10, I probably would enjoy it more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #bookstagram #bookreview

Think I‘ll finally get to read this chapter since yesterday was such a disappointment reading wise. #mondaymotivation

Am reading this today. Unable to put up a photo from my phone as the app on my iPhone isn‘t working.

Later: able to post.

Got my nails done today.

It was enjoyable. It wasn‘t as good as the first book in the trilogy, but it wasn‘t awful. If you have read the previous books in the series, you will likely enjoy this one. Don‘s interpretation of the traditional 13th wedding anniversary gift was pretty good. Recommended. 4⭐️ #bookstagram #bookreviews

Arrived safe and sound. #bookmail

It was ok. There were a few parts that were humorous. 4⭐️ #bookstagram #bookreview

Time for an #eveningread #bookclub

Still working on this. Can‘t seem to get it done (reading other books...). Also it‘s kinda meh at this point, but I‘ve gotten about halfway through it

I can‘t find the library copy I signed out. I think I brought it back to another library system that has a reciprocal relationship with my primary public library about 2 weeks ago. So I purchased the book so I can finish it. I wanted to read it today. The other book is Washington Black, if you‘re interested.

I quite enjoyed the book. There were times I felt that the chapters were a little long , but overall it was a good read. #ebook #fiction #bookreview #bookstagram

I‘m not a big fan of Trump. I quite enjoyed this read. Reilly was funny and told some great stories of how golf explains the Trumpster. 5⭐️ #litsyatoz #listsyatoz2019 #letterc #c #bookstagram #bookreview

This is what legitimate presidents do.

I laughed out loud when I saw that.

‪Some light #reading b4 bed‬

How old do you think I look? I‘m just wondering. If you know, please don‘t say.

Really enjoyed the book. Well written and characters well drawn. 4.25⭐️#bookstagram #bookreviews My full review is here: http://jaynesbooks.blogspot.com/2019/06/eternally-artemisia-melissa-muldoon.html

Forgot I signed up for a #booktour on this one. Eek 😬 A #latenightreading session is ahead of me.

Starting off my #summerreads with this hopefully delightful tome #fridayreads

Thanks to @Krystle13 for the lovely gifts. I‘m sure to love this. Thanks to @BookishMarginalia for organizing this once again. #summersantagoespostal #summersolsticebookexchange

“Having met the Kaiser....was another version of the petulant Emperor.” I am starting to get the impression that Churchill was very astute in his impression of Hitler in the mid- to late 1930‘s.

And he put his money where his mouth was.

He was a rare bird in his class that he wasn‘t anti-Semitic.

Added to my holds. Looking forward to it. I wish the Trudeau government would‘ve stopped the Trans-Mountain Pipeline expansion. #stoptmx

His views on oratory are quite astute.

3.75 ⭐️ This was definitely a better read than The Revolutionist. Thought that the author could have tied the two books together and that there was more of Burton discovering his paternal family a bit more than the intrigue that surrounded his father‘s company.

Finally it arrived!😎😊#summersantagoespostal #summersolsticebookexchange #bookmail It was quite heavy. I so want to open right now.

Reading a bit of this before bed. #ebook

I liked the book but didn‘t exactly love it. While the premise was interesting, I thought that it could have had a more cohesive story than it did. 3.75 ⭐️#bookstagram #litsyatz2019 #litsyatoz #letterp #p

I‘m glad her publisher has dropped her. There are consequences to such actions. https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/central-park-five-linda-fairstein-prosecutor-dr....

I suppose there was a side benefit... Every time Churchill is quoted, I can hear John Lithgow‘s voice.

I feel sad for him, but then he likely spent little time with his own children as well.

Thought this paragraph was amusing

I‘ve started it. He was quite the troublemaker as a kid.

Time for a little #nighttimereading (watching The Last Word with Lawrence O‘Donnell, if you‘re curious; and yes I can read while I‘m listening to music, podcasts, watching TV; I have a way of filtering out “distractions” while reading)

3.75⭐️ Read this for a #booktour. There were some great moments in the book, but I felt that the author took some turns in the book that didn‘t make any sense at all. By the end of the book, I thought it was a pretty decent book. #bookreview #bookstagram #ebook

*I was unable to find the author for this title, so I just used the title.

4.5 ⭐️ This was a reread for me for my #bookclub meeting this past weekend. While I really enjoyed it the first time I read the book, this time I felt claustrophobic while Ma and Jack were in the shed. Still a really excellent book. #bookreview #bookstagram #r #litsyatoz #litsyatoz2019

#bookwormbingo I‘ve also gotten 2 library books damaged from water and got chilli on another library book.

My stats for 2019 as of June 4. According to Goodreads, I‘m about 4 books ahead of schedule. I‘m planning on reading about 56 books this year.

I sent it out on Monday afternoon. Should arrive at the latest on June 14. #summersantabookexchange #summersolsticebookexchange

Just about to send out, minus a few unwrapped gifts. Will send out on Monday on its way out east as the postal carrier doesn‘t have delivery on the weekends and it would just sit in a warehouse. #summersantagoespostal #summersolsticebookexchange

New book. Going to start this soon #historicalfiction

I quite enjoyed it, but not as much as the first book in the #outlander series. While there were moments of Claire & Jamie goodness, there wasn‘t nearly as much. Overall a great edition to the series 4 ⭐️ #letterd #d #litsyatoz2019 #litsy2019 #2019 #bookstagram #outlanderseries #bookreview

Started this today #fridayreads

I enjoyed this modern retelling of this classic. I would have to do a side by side reading of this translation and the Fagles translation to find out which version I liked more and see what the differences are between the two. #2019 #litsyatoz #litsyatoz2019 #lettero #o

#booknlunch I‘m having a quarter pounder with cheese, if you‘re wondering.

Watching Downton to decompress for a bit.
