The 8:55 to Baghdad: From London to Iraq on the Trail of Agatha Christie and theOrient Express | Andrew Eames

Why, yes. I am using #Bailey as a book rest. If she‘s going to use the entirety of my lap as a pillow, it seems fair that I put her to work. 😆

Karkar I do the same! ❤️📚🐶 5y

The Complete Maus | Art Spiegelman

#SaturdaySnuggles with #Bailey

I should finish this today. It feels wrong to say I‘m enjoying this graphic novel, considering the subject matter.

GingerAntics I remember that feeling from reading this. It‘s hard to describe the feeling of this book. 5y

DGRachel @GingerAntics Yes and even harder to know how to review it! 5y

GingerAntics Exactly! It‘s really great at what is does, and it presents the war in a much different way. It‘s definitely not a dry textbook. In that deserves many stars. 5y

More Beer: A Kayankaya Thriller (2) | Jakob Arjouni

pick

This is a narrow pick. I enjoyed most of this short hard-boiled PI tale, but the conclusion was completely dissatisfying and the misogyny was almost unbearable. For a book written in the 1980s, it has all the disdain for women that you read in a Chandler or Hammett novel. I own the rest of the series, so I‘m sure I‘ll finish it, but I think it‘s going to be awhile before I pick up book 3. #Bailey kept me company while I finished. 💖

Aru Shah and the Tree of Wishes | Roshani Chokshi

I love my mom. 💖 It‘s bedtime. We‘re on opposite sides of the house. She came and grabbed Aru Shah off the far stack so I didn‘t lose my spot on my queen size bed. I‘m ridiculous, she‘s awesome, and #Bailey is a brat. 🤣🤣

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego What book is your blanket? 5y

DGRachel @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego This one is Persuasion. I have another one, but for the life of me, I can‘t remember the book. I think it might be 20,000 League Under the Sea, but I‘m not positive. 5y

American Staffordshire Terriers | Anna Katherine Nicholas

Turns out you can‘t escape your *kids* even in a reading retreat. Apparently Miss #Bailey decided to whine nonstop after I came in here to read, so Mom made her come in with me. I made her grab a blankie, because my girl is never happy without a blankie. 🤣🤣

The Red Sphinx: A Sequel to the Three Musketeers | Dumas Alexandre

So...my MRI results weren‘t the “absolutely nothing to worry about” that I expected, more of the “something‘s going on but will require further, possibly painful, testing” so I took the day off to wallow. #Bailey is keeping me company while I read and try not to panic, since panicking just triggers migraines, as I was reminded last night. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤕

Redwritinghood Keeping my fingers crossed for you. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 5y

DGRachel @Redwritinghood Thanks! I‘m oddly hopeful something shows up in the blood work, because if it doesn‘t then the next step is a spinal tap and the thought of that terrifies me. 5y

Mollyanna Sending best wishes. Hopefully the blood work shows something. I‘ll keep my fingers crossed. 5y

Pride of Eden: A Novel | Taylor Brown

I really want to read outside in the fresh air, instead of inside with the furnace air, but it‘s much too cold. So, I‘m going to settle for snuggling with #Bailey and reading about the great outdoors. Taylor Brown does an incredible job at describing settings so well that you are transported to those places. His writing is just gorgeous.

#saturdaysnuggles #netgalley #arc

ljuliel I‘m with you. Can‘t wait til it‘s warm enough to sit outside to read. I don‘t know why, but I always pictured Taylor Brown as being a female ! I‘m not sure why I thought it.... maybe because one of my cousins had a girl they named Taylor. 5y

DGRachel @ljuliel I met him at a book signing two years ago, on his book tour for Gods of Howl Mountain the night before I had to put Pilot to sleep (sorry, the grief is strong today). He‘s a really nice guy. I bought his backlist that night, too, and he signed all of them for me. 5y

ljuliel Since I read mostly ebooks and audio, I often don‘t see a picture of the author .It sounds like he was very nice. I need to read something of his. I‘m very sorry about your pet ( dog or cat )?That‘s probably one of the reasons I don‘t have pets. The part where you lose them would be one of the hardest things. I guess you can at least know that you gave them the best life possible while they were with you and hopefully had many good years together 5y

This is how I‘m spending my afternoon: #Bailey snuggles, reading in bed, and a snack that matches my book cover. I hope you all have a lovely, relaxing Sunday!

The Luminous Dead: A Novel | Caitlin Starling

I reached my page goal for the week in The Three Musketeers, so I decided to start another Book Riot #MyTBR book from this quarter. It has a strong Annihilation vibe so far. I‘m definitely intrigued, but also exhausted, so I will be joining #Bailey in dream land shortly and will pick this back up tomorrow. 😴
#dogsoflitsy #pibble #pitbullsoflitsy #amstaff #readingbuddy

Bklover Bailey is adorable and I really liked Annihilation so I‘ll be interested to hear what you think of this one. Sleep well! 5y

vivastory This sounds fantastic! 5y

LauraJ What a sweet picture 🖤 5y

batsy Oooh! I'll be interested to see what you think. Bailey 😍 5y

Cathythoughts I loved Annihilation.... will look forward to your thoughts 👍🏻❤️ 5y
