1stbookof2018

I still have books on the go from 2017, but these will be my #FirstReadoftheYear. I knew I'd like Rupi Kaur's poetry, but Bridget Jones? It's not the sort of thing I usually go for. I'm trying to read outside my go-to genres though, so why not? Much to my surprise, I've started enjoying it; even lol'd once. I doubt it'll make my list of all-time faves, but I'm not hating it so far, so yay! #1stBookof2018 #NewYearReads #JaninBooks18

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I really want the two Rupi Kaur books!! 📚😌 7y

writerlibrarian Rupi Kaur's poetry is wonderful and emotional. Bridget I read in zigzag a long time ago. I rather read the inspiration aka Austen. Bridget is funny but a bit too hysterical for my taste. 7y

St. Nick: A Christmas Cop Novel | Alan Russell

so-so

This one is my first finished audiobook #1stBookOf2018- #NewYearReads @bookloo @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Though after listening, I think I should have saved it for next Christmas! It was a bit corny and clicked in a too-predictable way, but it was light and fun for #AudioColoring

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I love owls!! 🦉 so cute!! 7y

TorieStorieS @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thanks!!! They are one of my favorite kinds of birds, too!!! 7y

Texreader Yay!! It‘s wonderful!!! 7y

Bklover It‘s amazing. It‘s in my top five all time favorites. It‘s not like reading a book- it‘s like going for a visit. 7y

Texreader @Bklover You Called That one right! I just finished it two days ago and struggling to move on to another book. It was so good. Immediately moved to my top ten. 7y

Bostonmomx2 I bought this at my UBS a few weeks ago but think I have to get it on Kindle instead. Mass market paperback printing is too small anymore 😩 7y

Sydsavvy I loved that so many people are picking this up! The stars have aligned. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 7y

AmyG It‘s THAT good. 7y

Joanielovesbooks @AmyG it is that good! 7y

Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen

Infinite Jest is a carry over so I guess it‘s technically Pride and Prejudice for #1stbookof2018 #newyearreads

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks It looks beautiful! I‘m ashamed 🤭I‘ve never read it!! 7y

Not My Father's Son: A Family Memoir | Alan Cumming

This is my #1STBOOKOF2018 - I should finish it tonight - I‘m liking it so far, but not quite as much as I thought I would. #NewYearReads 😊

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks, bookloo

bookishlyblessed Just finished it today. I really enjoyed it, but I had Alan Cumming reading it on audio which helps. 7y

Christine11 @bookishlyblessed I just finished it today too ! I liked it quite a lot but think I would have liked the audio even more as I think with memoirs it really adds to it if you hear the author narrate it ! I‘m glad you liked it 💕😊 7y

bookishlyblessed Oh I totally agree, plus his accent is divine. 7y

Christine11 @bookishlyblessed I think so as well ! But I‘m Scottish too so probably a bit biased ! 🤣 7y

bookishlyblessed So your accent is divine as well. I'm boring old American. I don't think our accent is a thing of beauty. Lol. 7y

Reecaspieces Great book!, 7y

Christine11 @bookishlyblessed mine isn‘t as obviously Scottish as his as I‘m from Edinburgh but people always still know where I‘m from ! I‘m sure your American accent is equally divine ! 😊 7y

Christine11 @Reecaspieces It is great 😊 very emotional! 7y

Reecaspieces @Christine11 agreed 7y

This Will End in Tears: The Miserabilist Guide to Music | Adam Brent Houghtaling

#newyearreads #1stbookof2018 This has been on my TBR since I bought it years ago. I have even used it for several Litsy prompts and haven‘t read it yet.One of main resolutions is to read what I already have.All of us have books in the permanent library, but I am drowning in books I mean to read and may not keep.Time to get busy and read these puppies!

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks, bookloo

tomes4gnomes Oh yeah, this book sounds right up my alley. Regarding drowning in TBR piles at home, I just went through all of my shelves and culled 45 titles that I‘ve had for so long, I‘m not even interested in reading them anymore. It felt liberating. And it means there is room for the new! 7y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I‘m drowning too!! Are we hoarders are collectors?!?! 🤣😂🤣😂 7y

Leftcoastzen @tomes4gnomes @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I am about to do a cull.Will trade some , pass some on to friends , donate and hopefully be surprised by a title or two I‘m looking for.🤣😀 7y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Good idea!!! 7y
