@Sace @Laughterhp @TheAromaofBooks I finished this fun #lmpbc book!
If you like love triangles that include ghosts, talking smart ass cats, strong women vs the pits of hell this might be the book for you.
I will mail it back by Wed!

Chrissyreadit @Sace @TheAromaofBooks @Laughterhp how does The Blue Castle sound? I will read and send along in the same order? I really enjoyed this round so much!

The Blue Castle

Laughterhp The Blue Castle sounds good! 4y

TheAromaofBooks The Blue Castle is one of my all-time favorites, so I'm always up for reading it again & would love to share thoughts with all of you!! @Sace @Laughterhp 4y

Chrissyreadit @TheAromaofBooks you crack me up!!!! I need to find some books you have not read! Although you really do seem ok with re reads. 4y

TheAromaofBooks If it's a book I enjoy, I love rereads. It's like visiting old friends for me. The tension of needing to know WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT isn't there, so I'm able to relax and enjoy the story a lot more. I'm one of those weird people who usually doesn't mind spoilers! 😂 4y

Chrissyreadit @TheAromaofBooks I love spoilers! I do not like unhappy or unresolved endings. And I‘m more likely to read a book if I know the story because I‘m more about the characters than the plot. 4y

TheAromaofBooks I'm the same way. I don't usually look up spoilers for things like thrillers or mysteries, but ironically books that many people wouldn't consider suspenseful, like romance or literary fiction, I frequently check the ending to make sure things turn out “right“ - I'm especially that way if the story is about a married couple having a rough patch. I don't like reading books that end in divorce so I don't want to read it they aren't happy in the end! 4y

Chrissyreadit @TheAromaofBooks I am exactly the same way! Unless it‘s about breaking away from a bad relationship I want a happy ending in my fiction! 4y

This is the time of the month where I realize I am running out of month!! 😂 #WeeklyForecast - reading the tagged book (#LMPBC) & also NEED to read Nine (due for review by 9/25) & Beach Read (also #LMPBC). Virtual Unicorn is due at the library by the end of the week as well. Thankfully all 4 are also on #BookSpinBingo ... although none will actually give me a bingo!! Ah well, there is always next month!
@Cinfhen

Allylu I feel like I am running out of month, too - but then I realized it‘s only the 20th! I will be doing good to get my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin read. 4y

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I definitely feel like the end of the month is closing in much faster than I‘m prepared for. 😅 I had high ambitions for September, but at this point I‘m just hoping to finish my current read by the end of the month. 🤦‍♀️ 4y

Cinfhen Where are the days going???? 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Ideally the are 5 books I want to read plus 2 short stories to finish. I might have to push some to October & November. How is it the 20th already? 4y

so-so

Book 4 finished for #AwesomeAugust Readathon

To be honest, I read this book as fast as possible to get through it. The writing was really clunky and I found a lot of issues with it. The men bickering and fighting were really annoying. The storyline itself was interesting and I liked all the creatures that showed up.

Not saying anything more so our #LMPBC group can enjoy it. (Hopefully more than me).

Chrissyreadit, Sace, TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks I just started your book yesterday!!! 4y

Sace I can't wait to see your comments! I think I ended up liking it, but I am a pretty forgiving reader. But yeah, there was some clunk to the style that it took a while for me to get used to. 4y

I'm about to hit the post office! #LMPBC @Laughterhp 😁

Laughterhp Yay! Sounds good 4y

Sace @Laughterhp hope you enjoy. It's really simple mailing. Just the book and that's it. Hope that's OK. I may have over taped it 😏🙄 4y

Sace @Laughterhp Oh! It should be there by Monday. 4y

Laughterhp Haha no worries. I only expect a book ☺️ 4y

Sace @Laughterhp if I weren't so nervous about germs I'd go get goodies 😂 4y

Laughterhp Got it in the mail Saturday! It really was just the book so taped together 😂 4y

Sace @Laughterhp Glad you got it! I feel awful about the simple mailing but I thought better to get it mailed on time. (Learned that book only technique from my Paperback Swap days 😂) 4y

⭐⭐⭐
There was a little patch in the reading where I was a smidge cranky but ultimately I ended up liking this and being very entertained by it.

@Laughterhp I'll be sending this off to you on Wednesday!

Laughterhp Awesome! Looking forward to it! 4y

Getting started on my book for #lmpbc #Round9.

Is it OK if I claim black ink for my notes? @Chrissyreadit @Laughterhp @TheAromaofBooks

Chrissyreadit Sure! I‘m using shades of blue- ok @TheAromaofBooks @Laughterhp ? 4y

Laughterhp Sounds good! I‘ll probably try to use purple or red, who knows! @Chrissyreadit @Sace @TheAromaofBooks 4y

Sace @Chrissyreadit @Laughterhp okie dokie! 4y

TheAromaofBooks Sounds good!! I usually just wait until I get the book and then pick a color that no one else has used yet haha @Chrissyreadit @Laughterhp 4y

#lmpbc @Chrissyreadit @TheAromaofBooks @Laughterhp

Here are four possibilities. I can't say I have a clear preference for any one book. I'll tag the rest in the comments.

Sace Snow

Snow

Sace The Storyteller's Daughter

The Storyteller's Daughter: A Retelling of "The Arabian Nights"

Laughterhp Honestly, any of these sound good. I haven‘t read Tanya Huff in like 8 years! I used to love her Vampire series. Snow also sounds really good or the Terry Pratchett one. 5y

Sace @Laughterhp I can't tell you how long ago I bought these books. I've been meaning to read them for way too long. I think all of them are meant for younger audiences. Hope that's OK. 5y

Laughterhp That‘s okay. I only get annoyed when they are “too YA” and none of these sound like they will be. The Storytellers Daughter sounds a lot like The Wrath and the Dawn, so I don‘t know if I would like that one.

The Wrath & the Dawn

TheAromaofBooks Any of these are good with me!!! I think I may have read The Storyteller's Daughter many moons ago, but don't really remember it, or even if I liked it haha 5y

Sace @Laughterhp you've got me thinking... Maybe I will remove The Storyteller's Daughter from the running since The Wrath and the Dawn does exist and is probably the better retelling option as I think it might be more #ownvoices? 5y

Laughterhp Maybe... I know nothing of Cameron Dokey though.. 😬😬 5y

Sace @Laughterhp https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Dokey 5y

Sace @Laughterhp I guess my worry is that the book is almost 20 years old so I don't know how well it will hold up to scrutiny? I mean, reading on my own is fine but I'll be passing it on to others and don't want to spread anything negative and/or be judged 😂 5y

Laughterhp Haha I totally understand! I am always super hesitant about the books I recommend to people and pass on. 😂 5y

Chrissyreadit Ahhh! I never received a notification for this! So sorry. Sometimes litsy notifications are off. 5y

Sace @Chrissyreadit no worries. Honestly I miss notifications a lot too. The android app doesn't separate "likes" from tags and comments. 5y

For today's #octphotochallenge the question is #FantasyorScifi and my answer is YES! I like my scifi w/a little fantasy and my fantasy w/a little scifi and I read voraciously in both categories. Bonus if there's a cat. 😸
@LibrarianRyan

bmsddk What are some of your other recommended taste-of-both books/series? 8y

JustTrish Good question, @bmsddk A lot of my faves are YA, Many if Heinlein's books are as well as China Mieville Then there's

Witch World

JustTrish There are tons of Witch World books 8y

Summon the Keeper has such a Pratchettesque absurdity about it. I didn't think I'd dislike it, but I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I do. It's clever and funny and if you enjoy Discworld with its weirdness and magic and quirkiness than this should be right up your alley.

"Had she fallen getting out of the shower? Did that sort of thing happen to the semimythical?"

lostinagoodbk I don't know why this made me smile so much. It's a delightfully absurd book. 8y
