The Slowworm's Song | Andrew Miller

Popped to the library today to pick up 4 books I had on reserve, and may have spotted 4 more too…. This adds to the 7 other books I borrowed last week…

They‘re mainly Booker Longlist potentials, with Our Wives Under The Sea being for #camplitsy and The Measure bing a complete #blameitoncindy @Cinfhen !

I‘ll start with the tagged as someone else already has it reserved so I can‘t renew.

EvieBee Slowworm sounds so good! Going to check my library. 2y

BookwormM Woo hoo I am doing the same thing 🤣🤣 so far I have 7 of my 13 predictions decided 2y

squirrelbrain Ooh, what have you picked so far? @BookwormM Mine are more suggestions that I‘ve seen from other people (that I‘m borrowing ahead of time, just in case!) 2y

squirrelbrain @EvieBee - I‘ve only read a couple of chapters,but so far it‘s really good! 2y

Cinfhen Woohoo!!!! What a gorgeous stack of reads!!! Your library rocks 🥳😻 2y

Megabooks Just finished the measure. It was a bit sappy at the end, but I really enjoyed it! 2y

Hooked_on_books Nice stack! 2y

BarbaraBB Such a great stack! 2y

BookwormM The ones that I have read are
1) Things They Lost by Okwiri Oduor
2) Lapvona by Otessa Moshfegh
3) Crossroads by Jonathan Franzen
4) To Paradise by Hanya Yanagihara
5) The Kingdom of Sand by Andrew Holleran
6) Oh William by Elizabeth Strout
2y

squirrelbrain I‘ve read Crossroads, To Paradise and Oh William. I have Things They Lost, borrowed from the library. What did you think of the Holleran? I really want to read it, but I think it might have to be on Audible as that‘s the only way I can get hold of it at the moment. @bookwormm 2y

BookwormM Really enjoyed the Holleran and loved Things They Lost currently listening to another potential Devotion enjoying it but not sure it‘s a Booker book 2y

squirrelbrain I have Devotion on order from the library too @bookwormm 2y

Early Morning Riser | Katherine Heiny

#12BooksOf2021 My favorite from August
This book was gifted to me by the lovely @DivineDiana 💓💓💓 and it just gave me #AllTheFeels
Quiet & quirky
Would work for #FoundFamily #pop22

Bookwormjillk Considering I read your post at 4:58 am I must stack this 😁 3y

CoffeeAndABook Happy New Year Cindy 💫🙌🏼 Right now I‘m in the process of deciding which will be my first read of the new year. I literally finished reading one book last night and can now start a brand new one on New Year‘s Day. Suddenly I‘m feeling all this pressure 🤪 and cannot decide!!! 3y

Itchyfeetreader I liked this one 3y

Cinfhen Hahaha @Bookwormjillk You certainly qualify for Early Morning Riser 😉 3y

Cinfhen Something about this book got under my skin @Itchyfeetreader 3y

Cinfhen Happy 2022 @CoffeeAndABook 😘😘how‘s the pup??? I bet it‘s hard to read when you‘re so distracted. Wishing you all good things in the coming year 3y

DivineDiana Glad you loved the book! Love the collage! May the New Year be filled with fantastic books! ❤️📚😘 3y

CoffeeAndABook @Cinfhen Hi 🙋🏼‍♀️ the pup‘s doing great, she‘s such an impressive brave little soul and sharp as a nail! We‘re all learning a lot and you‘re right - my reading has been sporadic at best 😅 but Zelda‘s coming round to snuggling & gently snoring while I read so my pace is picking up 🙌🏼 do you have a 🐾 🐾 ? I saw some posts with a cute fuzzy darling called Herzl but was under the impression he lives in the US?! 3y

Cinfhen Thanks so much @DivineDiana miss you 😘 Looking forward to our next meet-up, hopefully sooner than later. 3y

Cinfhen Herzl is my daughter‘s pup @CoffeeAndABook so I don‘t get to see him much 😢unless you count the daily FaceTime calls 😜Zelda sounds like she‘s acclimating beautifully. She‘s found the right home to nurture and love her 💕💕💕Nice to hear from you xx swing by anytime for a chat 🥰 3y

Cinfhen Have you settled on a book, Chrissy??? @CoffeeAndABook 3y

CoffeeAndABook @Cinfhen Yes 😃 I have!!! It‘s a book by Katherine Heiny 😉 so #blameitonCindy!! The one you had tagged is pretty expensive in Germany so I‘ll wait till it comes down in price. But I found an earlier book, Standard Deviation, and am totally enjoying it 🙌🏼 I tend to get so dramatic on Jan 1st, I want to vision board, start the year with an inspirational book, pray and meditate… 3y

CoffeeAndABook ⬆️… none of this ever happens, of course. my siblings both have their birthdays on Dec 31st and Jan 2nd so I end up traveling back and forth instead of quietly slipping into the new year 😂 and the book I found is pretty funny and entertaining - so perfect 👌🏼 also I always enjoy NYC as a setting 🏙😜 3y

Cinfhen Yay!! I haven‘t read that book @CoffeeAndABook so maybe it‘ll be a #BlameItOnChrissy read for me 😉

Standard Deviation

CoffeeAndABook @Cinfhen Yessss 🙌🏼😂😘 3y

Megabooks Awesome! Can‘t wait to read your thoughts too. 4y

TravelsWithBooks I went to high school with a girl with the same name, spelling and everything! I had to google to see if it was her. It was not. Lol. 4y

BarbaraBB That is extremely fast! Looking forward to your thoughts! I‘ll start it later this year too. 4y

squirrelbrain How funny @TravelsWithBooks ! 4y

Hooked_on_books I have this one, too! We‘re all book twins. 🤗 4y

squirrelbrain @Hooked_on_books - I think we need to be book twins for some of these more ‘obscure‘ countries...😁 4y

rockpools My real-life library has a real-life print copy that I can reserve. I‘m ridiculously excited about the whole thing! (It‘s been a long year!) 4y

squirrelbrain I love how we all get excited about library books @rockpools ! 4y

Drop in the Ocean | Jenni Ogden

Thanks for the tag @Cinfhen !

1️⃣ Took the buzzfeed test & am water 🌊 I‘m happy with that but would have spontaneously answered air... 💭

2️⃣ the tagged book I‘m reading right now! I‘ve been buddy reading a lot of Fantasy lately and fun as that Is, the tagged book is satisfying a deep yearning ... for change, for opening up, traveling far, lots of nature...

3️⃣ MAYBE YOU SHOULD TALK TO SOMEONE by Lori Gottlieb!!

#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

Cinfhen Yay for water sign 👙🧜🏽‍♀️I loved

CoffeeAndABook @Cinfhen So far DROP IN THE OCEAN is wonderful 🙌🏼 the perfect book for us water folk 🌊🧜🏻‍♀️🐢 I‘m pretty sure that the Gottlieb book first came to my attention thanks to your rave review 😘 #blameitoncindy 😉 5y

#BOTM What a great month of choices!
First time I‘ve ever picked 3!
#blameitonCindy for all three! @Cinfhen 😘

britt_brooke @Leftcoastzen Truly! 😆🙅🏼‍♀️🍋 6y

Leftcoastzen Yeah, I remember @Cinfhen ripped it a new one as well.sometimes I wonder how some books manage to get published.I mean , someone at the publisher is pushing for the book , other people at the table are there to talk them out of it.😂 6y

britt_brooke @Leftcoastzen Yes, @Cinfhen is the reason I requested if from NetGalley and I‘ll never forgive her. 😆😙😙 6y

The Bishop's Pawn | Steve Berry

Ok, SORRY for the creepy pic, but I had to show my mask I am using for tonight‘s #bathandbook. It‘s an emerald green peel off mask with glitter!!!! Hands down the prettiest mask I‘ve ever used. 😂

I started a new book today that‘s 100% #blameitoncindy. It is the 13th book in a series about a Justice Department operative who somehow has some type of connection to the MLK assassination. @Cinfhen

Kappadeemom I used to live in St Augustine FL and the author got his hair cut at my salon. I never got to meet him though :) 6y

Cinfhen My hubby is the Steve Berry guy... I‘ve only read one or two. Hope this one delivers 🤞🏼cool mask 💚 6y

bookishkai I haven‘t read this one yet, but I fell hard for his first book,

The Romanov Prophecy

Reecaspieces I love The Amber Room. Highly recommend

All Who Go Do Not Return: A Memoir | Shulem Deen

Shulem Deen was a member of the Skverers, one of the most Hasidic sects in the US. His religion taught him that questions were not permitted and that he should #layallyourloveonme (me being his faith ✡️... stick with me here). But after being married and having 5 children he beings to question his religious beliefs and is shunned from his community as a heretic. I‘m 60 pages into this memoir and I‘m hooked!!
#ABBAinAugust

Cinfhen, Reviewsbylola, Mdargusch, Meredith3

emilyhaldi Also my #booked2018 choice for #blameitonlitsy or in this case #blameitoncindy 😉 6y

Meredith3 Has Jaime read this? Also this reminds me of a fun Amish murderer... 6y

Insightsintobooks ...being able to question is one thing I Love about Judaism. The sages having questions is all over the Talmud. Sad that he was thrown out of his community for something that should be encouraged. I haven't read this, but it is on my TBR. 6y

See All 13 Comments

Reviewsbylola I can‘t imagine the idea of not questioning faith? 6y

Cinfhen I‘m sooo glad you‘re loving this book!!! It‘s really an eye opener 😢I don‘t want to say too much until you‘re done. 6y

Cinfhen @Insightsintobooks you have to read this book! Unfortunately , It‘s NOT surprising how his community reacts. In their eyes his actions are transgressions. It made me sooooo mad 😡😡 6y

emilyhaldi @Insightsintobooks @Cinfhen Have you seen the Netflix documentary One Of Us?? It follows 3 people who have decided to leave the Hasidic community and the retaliation is shocking. They are threatened, harassed, etc. Its a very interesting doc if you‘re interested. 6y

Insightsintobooks @Cinfhen I've put it at the top of my TBR. @emilyhaldi No, I haven't, I'll have to watch it. 6y

Cinfhen My hubby watched @emilyhaldi @Insightsintobooks he said it was pretty horrifying. It‘s sad how extreme some people take their religious beliefs and turn it into something else completely. I‘m pretty sure God never intended for any of this militant approach to religion. 6y

Centique @Cinfhen amen to that Cindy. I totally agree. I think every religion has its share of people who go too far - especially when they hurt and isolate others 😨 Great choice @emilyhaldi stacked! 6y

Insightsintobooks @Cinfhen I agree, I am very interested in reading this book. 6y

Cinfhen Thanks @Centique @Insightsintobooks 💕💕💕 6y

Mdargusch Sounds fascinating! 6y
