Work has been hectic, I'm still reading Payback's a Witch for #GroupP. I'm going to try to send it out this Friday or Saturday along with my pick for #GroupA #Round13 @bibliobard @WanderingBookaneer @IndoorDame @LibrarianRyan

I am 50 pages away from finishing Like A Love Story, and then I will write down all of my reactions and thoughts on the book and final thoughts in the journal. I'm going to send the book back to @Soubhiville this week, and I'll be offically done with Round 12 for LMPBC for GroupP #lmpbc #round12 #GroupP @WanderingBookaneer @bibliobard

Hit the halfway mark for this book. There is a lot happening in this story that really pulls at my heart, and everyone's annotations adds a depth to the story--I can feel the emotion of the other readers from #GroupP who've read the book #Round12 @Soubhiville @bibliobard @WanderingBookaneer

I've been in a funk with reading lately, and I will be late in sending this pick back @Soubiville I am enjoying Like A Love Story though. I might not write as many comments in the book, but I will keep posting my progress. I have my bubble mailer ready! #lmpbc #round12 #lgbtq

Thank you (again!) @MatchlessMarie I was suprised to see so many goodies in the package. Also, the alteration to the book is killer for A Good Girl's Guide to Murder #ANS

Thank you @Chrissyreadit I love everything, and it was so sweet that you gave me an extra book😭. The coffee really made my day--Holy Cannoli, a phrase I will use for the rest of the year #AllHallowsReadSwap

Thank you so much @MatchlessMarie Everything was so beautifully wrapped, and I loved everything in the box! The candy is amazing #HHS

I enjoyed this graphic novel. I loved the story's setting and remembering the time when I read a lot of Chicana and Chicano authors. Also, it made me feel nostalgic for rock songs I haven't listened to in a long time and the time I spent with my grandfather. #yagraphicnovels #queerbooks #music

Oh Hello Again @MatchlessMarie Thank you for the HHS box! I'm really excited to see what's in it; the little witch sticker is upping the temptation to open the box. Must resist #HHS @wanderinglynn

Jumping into the last book for LMPBC, I've read about 10 pages so far, and it's cracking me up #lmpbc #GroupP @Soubhiville @WanderingBookaneer @bibliobard

I loved this story in verse. Each entry was so beautiful, it made me cry--it reminded me of the many things my family and I have experienced, what we learned about each other, and understanding what home means to each of us. The annotations for #groupU felt personal and supportive. Coco thank you so much for sharing this book @TheBookKeepers @WanderingBookaneer @SamAnne #poetry #lmpbc

Read and annotated yesterday, and then I got to a point of the book where I started crying, and couldn't stop crying all day. I've had a book do that to me in a long time, and the annotations adds more to the book 😭 #poetry #lmpbc #groupU @TheBookKeepers @WanderingBookaneer @SamAnne

Guess who's coming back in 2022...😲😲😲😢😭😆😆😆 I've provided a link to the article Diamond Distributors published on when the 55th issue of Saga will be published, and what Vaughn and Staples has in store for readers of the series. Link:https://diamondbookdistributors.org/brian-k-vaughan-fiona-staples-saga-returns/ #comics

1)Home is Not a Country
I am loving it, its made ne cry, feel heartache, and longing
2)Ace of Spades
Mindblowing novel
3)My Heart is a Chainsaw
I love homage to horror from the 70s, even classic horror films

@Andrew65 #OutstandingOctober

Sent out all of my swaps today, and they should arrive by Monday to all of my swapees. It was fun looking for the books and some items; my area started selling Halloween stuff very late. Don't get me started on shipping. My swapees provided helpful details on their preferences of books and various items. I am really nervous about my ANS design, I'm hoping my swapee will like it @wanderinglynn @LibrarianRyan @MaleficentBookDragon #HHS #AHS #ANS

I'm at a crossroads of which book to pick for lmpbc Round 13 they all look really good, and the page count is different for each one. I'll tag the books in the comments #GroupP @bibliobard @WanderingBookaneer @IndoorDame

I've picked out these for #lmpbc #Round13. I'm really set on reading Garlic and the Vampire--I'm not entirely sure what draws me into to reading frightening books that involve food @LibrarianRyan @WanderingBookaneer @IndoorDame @suvata

After Round 12, I was going to take a break from lmpbc, but I've had so much fun reading everyone's comments, annotating, and pushing myself to read daily, I decided to participate again. I'm going to jump into Group A and stick with Group P for this round #LMPBC #Round13 @suvata

I recieved my swap box yesterday! @Chrissyreadit is this for the Altered Nightmare Swap?

@Soubhiville Sent out the lmpbc today for #GroupP, it should arrive on October 12th. @WanderingBookaneer @bibliobard @suvata #lmpbc #Group12

I've been waiting for this to go on a discount as an ebook, and I found out this debut series is not even in ebook form--I'm trying not to buy physical copies of manga til I have a new box for my manga...but I've been eyeballing this series ever since it came out. Oh well!😆
I don't read Omegaverse stories, but I decided to give it a shot--I think the paranormal aspect is what drew me in, and the cover for volume 1 gave off vampire vibes #manga

@TheBookKeepers I sent out the lmpbc pick today, it should arrive in about 5-7 days (maybe earlier). I'll keep ya posted on the date #lmpbc #GroupU @SamAnne @WanderingBookaneer

1) I am not participating in #Scarathon2021 this year sadly. Too many things going on for work, which eats up my reading time. But I'm excited to see what spooky reads each team will read.
2)Looking forward to readin':
*My Heart is a Chainsaw
* Harrow County (which is really hard to find now)
*Something is Killing the Children (which I've already started 👿)
*Gwendy's Magic Feather
There's more of course...
@TheSpineView #October2021 #Two4Tuesday

Almost hit page 200 yesterday, I've been reading as much as I can, and I'll continue reading Ace of Spades today. I know it'll be a bit late sending out, but I'll do my best to send it out by the deadline. I'm enjoying it a lot! #lmpbc #GroupP @WanderingBookaneer @Soubhiville @bibliobard

Starting Ace of Spades; reels ya into the story quickly and cut throat. Hoping to finish this by the end of next week #lmpbc #GroupP @WanderingBookaneer @bibliobard @Soubhiville

This urban fantasy graphic novel set in the Philippines is strong with mythological rrpresentation, but okay with writing style and visual sequence of the story. With the first few stories, the writing and story sequence was jumbled, some chapters, character spotlight, and cases felt rushed. Alexandra Trese seemed flat in this volume. The last 2 stories grasped my attention and centered on a theme. I'll read volume 2 to see how the story develops.

I loved this collection; Diaz's poems are provocative, moving, and familiar. I was struck with nostgalia when it came to her poems about her and her brother-reminded me of my own brother. Her provocative poems gave off vibes of Sor Juana Ines, and Diaz makes readers think about language and nature beyond what we understand of it. #lmpbc #groupU #poetry @WanderingBookaneer @SamAnne @TheBookKeepers

Working on finishing my lmpbc for #GroupU by the end of this week, I'm enjoying the imagery throughout this collection #lmpbc @TheBookKeepers @WanderingBookaneer @SamAnne

1) I think it depends on the genre. Also, with the fluctuation of small presses and independent publishing options, these factors have changed books too
2)Sometimes I can figure out twists

I think I went overboard on the Halloween Swaps....NOT! Tis that magical season of frights and delights, I adore Halloween. Thank you so @MaleficentBookDragon for creating this swap and thank you to @wanderinglynn for sharing the post on the swap #allhallowsreadswap 👻

@LibrarianRyan You had me Nightmare Swap. I'm slowly trying to find my art sets to get myself prepared for the alteration I'll make to the swap I'll be assigned. I'm excited and curious about this one #nightmareswap #AlteredNightmareSwap👿

Signed up for the Huanted Hollow Swap hosted by @wanderinglynn! I really enjoyed it, and I found it to be a lot of fun creating a swap box for the person I was matched with. Also, I loved the items in my swap box. A definite event to participate in fans of Fall and Halloween season #HauntedHollowSwap

I will be sending this out by Friday. I finished it awhile back, but things have been hectic for me on the last 2 weeks. #lmpbc #groupu @TheBookKeepers @SamAnne @WanderingBookaneer

Squeezing in the last 160 pages of the book for #lmpbc (I'm cutting it down to the wire sending these picks out 😥) I'm really enjoying it though #GroupP @WanderingBookaneer @Soubhiville @bibliobard
