Yep, I read for almost five minutes today! Plus whatever time I got on my audiobook (no idea, less than an hour though). #24B4Monday is not happening for me this weekend. Maybe tomorrow will go better. On the upside, yesterday I made a nusskuchen (only okay unfortunately) and today I made 203 pierogi and a loaf of Bohemian black bread, plus a small batch of noodles for tomorrow‘s lunch.

@Andrew65 @SumisBooks @jb72

Andrew65 Well done on the food preparations. Good luck for today. 😊 5y

I remembered the #ThrowbackReadathon just before I went to bed last night so I pulled some books from the shelves in my reading nook for it, then crashed for the night. Woke up this morning and found an unintentional #bookrainbow on my bedside table. 📚🌈

Not sure how much reading I‘ll actually get done this weekend but damnit if I don‘t have a great stack to pull from without even going to my attic bookcases where most of my old books are!

Clwojick, monalyisha

Eggs Good luck 👍🏻 7y

monalyisha I LOVE Tuck Everlasting! So, so, so much. I‘ve read it recently. Still perfect. 7y

This has delighted me both times I've read it; short and sweet with a feel-good message. Perfect for fans of L. M. Montgomery or Frances Hodgkin Burnett. #jfic #juniorfiction #fairytale

The Ordinary Princess is #thebookthatmademesmile. Not a broad smile that can hardly suppress a laugh, but a gentle one on the corner of the mouth.

It's a warm tale I love to cuddle with in the cold night. ☺️ #augustofpages #augustphotochallenge

pppooraikul @intothehallofbooks @Ebooksandcooks Thanks! ;) 9y

pppooraikul @kaysreadinglife I never read her mysteries before! Do you have any suggestions? I'd really like to try her other works. 😁 9y

[DELETED] 2232195534 @pppooraikul All of her mysteries are 'Death in...' somewhere. It's been a long time, but I remember one set in Kashmir and one in Zanzibar. Her husband was military, I believe, and they were stationed in many locations. She set her mysteries in some of them. And, of course, there is The Far Pavilions, her big, big book. It was very popular years ago. 😀 9y

pppooraikul @kaysreadinglife That's great! I'll start there. Thanks so much. ;) 9y

Mayread I love princess amy! Best fairy curse ever. 9y

pppooraikul @Skiles Agree. 😁 9y

LeahBergen I didn't know about this one, either! I read The Far Pavilions years ago. 9y

Laalaleighh My grandmother used to sing me that song at night 😊 9y

pppooraikul @LeahBergen Is it good? I'd like to try that 9y

pppooraikul @Laalaleighh Woah. Wonder what it's like. 👍 9y

Laalaleighh It's on the Cinderella soundtrack https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5ubbQ8jYLWM 9y

LeahBergen I remember that it was a bit slow in parts (it's a really BIG book) but I ended up liking it. 😀 9y

When a grouchy fairy gives Princess Amethyst the gift of "being ordinary," a charming story is born. • Read my full review: http://bit.ly/2alFGlN

I loved this book! It's about a princess who gets cursed to be "ordinary" by a fairy godmother on her christening day. Hmmm, a blessing and a curse? Could be. No one will marry her, so she runs away from her kingdom and has adventures. And of course, there's got to be a happy ending, right?

Texreader MM Kaye does young fiction? I had no idea!! 9y

TheLondonBookworm I'm curious- what does she mean by ordinary? 9y

[DELETED] 2232195534 I loved M. M. Kaye's mysteries. Didn't know she wrote for kids. 9y

Readaholics @TheLondonBookworm RE: Ordinary is described as mousy brown hair, average features, not unattractive but not attractive either. The rest of her family is portrayer as "classically" beautiful ( blonde, gorgeous, tall, slender, graceful etc). She doesn't make ordinary bad, but extraordinary later on. 9y
