Cuilin @Bookwormjillk a season I‘d watch with popcorn!! 23h

mcctrish I‘m behind because of my obsession with Fourth wing/Iron Flame and then I read this chapter - opening with a death roll, poor choices, pig wash theft ( I don‘t even know what it is but for shame), then spousal abuse and a forerunner for todays political arena where if you yell lies loud and long enough people believe them #goodgrief 4h

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I‘m reading Iron Flame right now, although I‘m not getting through it as fast as I‘d like! 4h

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead I read Fourth Wing basically in a day with a break for sleeping - I‘m taking longer with this one and I‘m almost at the end and now I have slowed down because I‘m afraid of a cliff hanger. I grabbed Onyx Storm from Costco but I have ACOTAR to start and irl book club too so I have to push OS out 4h

Cruelest Month | Louise Penny

Dear Libby, You‘ve been saying “available soon” for 2 whole days. Waiting is torture… 😅

So hard to wait for the next book in the series sometimes! Would it be awful to load up the next 10 in my holds? 😂 Might be asking for trouble if they all come in at once or out of order… 🤔 #BookNerdProblems

Ruthiella Those ebook/audio book holds are tricky! 😅 4mo

Karisa @Ruthiella Right?! If it had said 10 weeks, I probably would‘ve broken down and paid for it by now. 😂 So spoiled by easy access to books😅 4mo

ImperfectCJ If you put the next several on hold, you can always postpone delivery if the holds come in too soon/out of order. 4mo

Susanita It will become available as soon as you start reading another book. 😏 4mo

DogMomIrene @ImperfectCJ Deliver Later has become my favorite Libby feature😂 3mo

Well, I culled over 100 books off my shelf (left photo) . . . but then there were all these holes on my shelves. 🤷🏼‍♀️ so I *had* to fill at least some of the holes (right photo). Right? 😆

#booknerdproblems

Suet624 Oh gosh. This epitomizes my struggle. 9mo

TheBookHippie 🤣🎉 my life. 9mo

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage The worst part about cleaning out books are the holes they leave, for sure 📚🫤 9mo

TheBookgeekFrau This struggle is just so real! 9mo

Ruthiella It‘s a never ending see-saw! But look at all those new books! So exciting! 🤩 9mo

wanderinglynn @Suet624 @TheBookHippie the struggle is real. 😆 (edited) 9mo

wanderinglynn @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage exactly! 😉 9mo

wanderinglynn @TheBookgeekFrau it‘s a daily struggle 😉 9mo

wanderinglynn @Ruthiella right?! So exciting! 😁 9mo

Crazeedi Where did you find the courage?? I have a "few" more books just sent for, and already piles on floor that I don't have room for. I need to do what you've done!! 9mo

wanderinglynn @Crazeedi I heard about PangoBooks & thought I‘d sell a few OwlCrate editions. I started with a handful—a few I had read & wasn‘t crazy about & a few that have been on my shelf forever that I finally admitted I was never going to read. Once I started with those, I realized my bookshelf looked better, & so I pulled a few more. Then I sold a few on Pango. And then I pulled a few more. And I really felt better after culling. 9mo

dabbe The eternal book struggle. 🤩😂😀 9mo

Rome753 I try to periodically go through my books to clear out books that I'll either never read or have read, but don't have much interest in. I usually donate them, or occasionally give to someone who will read them. But I frequently end up buying more. Just bought several today at a book sale going on at a local library. 9mo

wanderinglynn @Rome753 🙌🏻 the struggle is real. 9mo

Rome753 @wanderinglynn definitely 9mo

Hooked_on_books It wouldn‘t make sense to leave gaps. You were only doing what was right. 9mo

The Marriage Sabbatical: A Novel | Lian Dolan

I brought a huge stack with me for a long weekend in Jersey 🤣 I finished Taste tonight, and I‘m partway through the tagged book, plus Beyond the Wand. I gave a few good options, plus three ARCs I need to read in the next two weeks 🤣 #booknerdproblems

Leftcoastzen You can never bring too many books ! 📚 👏🥰😂 9mo

BarkingMadRead @Leftcoastzen my hubs always complains about it, but I feel like you can never be too prepared 🤷🏻‍♀️ 9mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig This is where I lose any sympathy I had for Jan. It doesn't matter Max is a murderer, what's important is HE DIDN'T LOVE REBECCA! She becomes a bit like Rebecca in that she doesn't care about anything except what she wants. I could see her going over the edge in later years and murderibg Max because she thinks he doesn't love her enough. 10mo

BarkingMadRead @Crinoline_Laphroaig that‘s a really good point, it shows just how much she hasn‘t grown up! 10mo

julieclair Whoa! Didn‘t see that one coming! And Jan… she‘s a woman obsessed… it‘s like the knowledge that Max didn‘t love Rebecca is pulling her back from tipping over the edge of madness. 10mo

Clare-Dragonfly Augh… I was afraid she was going to try to protect him. I hope she fails. Will they find the bullet in the ship? It must be somewhere, so it‘s either in her body or in the cottage. But her body has decomposed (I think the cop said it was skeletal), so the bullet could have fallen somewhere they can‘t find it… (edited) 10mo

5feet.of.fury Yeah this is wild, she gets on board with the cover up wayyyy too quickly 10mo

IndoorDame How is having someone else‘s baby the one thing about living with her that tips it over the edge!!!!??? That would seriously NOT be my biggest problem if she were my wife! 10mo

ElizaMarie I had thought Rebecca was a cheater when they talked about these long nights in the cottage. Am I the only one that‘s okay with murder!? Ha. I mean. Not to say murder is super okay, but she did back him into a corner. And —- she was evil and… you are “allowed” to kill the antichrist. Right!? #NoItsJustMe 10mo

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie #imnotmadaboutit 🤷🏻‍♀️ 10mo

Roary47 @IndoorDame I agree, why is this the straw for him. I‘m thinking it was the delivery. @ElizaMarie I‘m with you. More a take down would have been more preferred, but your right he was backed into a corner with pure evil. If he wasn‘t backed into a corner I see that he could have showed her true colors. Exposed her infidelity. Something. 10mo

Ruthiella All I can say is keep reading folks! I have my own ideas about Rebecca‘s motivations. I also noted Jan‘s primary focus now of being truly loved and I think I would have had the same blind obsession at 21 or 22. (edited) 10mo

ElizaMarie @Roary47 Yes. like the question: “Would you go back in time and kill baby Hitler?“ I am guessing, yes.

But I agree. If she wasn't so cocky with her evilness. I am sure Max would have had no choice but to get divorced from her eventually. But, she was slipping up so much, it was going to all come out what type of person she was eventually. 10mo

Bookwormjillk This is my 3rd time reading and for some reason I remembered this as the end of the book, but we still have a ways to go. So hard to stop today. 10mo

willaful @IndoorDame It's because the baby would inherit Manderley. It's all about the property. 10mo

willaful @ElizaMarie That seemed implausible to me too. I'm sure Max could've found evidence 10mo

dabbe @Ruthiella Rebecca truly egged him on; it seemed as if she wanted to get as big a rise out of him as she could. As you so eloquently said, #keepreadingfolks! 🤩 10mo

dabbe @willaful Agree 💯. Maxim loves Manderley more than anyone--even the narrator. His de Winter pride is at stake. 10mo

This spicy little novella had me laughing outload while Christmas shopping. Angel and Loca had a side romance in book one, and this is there full blown romance. Funny, smutty, and ultimately heartwarming! #WinterGames #GangstaWrappers @Clwojick @StayCurious @bookwormjillk
*I have no idea about word search points bc I listened to the audio mostly on the move #booknerdproblems

Assistant to the Villain | Hannah Nicole Maehrer

Anyone else somewhat obsessively check the shipping status of book orders? I‘m currently waiting somewhat patiently for 2, including the tagged, to arrive.

This book is effed up!! It has some serious Gone Girl vibes.

Cinfhen Ohhhhh!! Now I‘m curious AF 2y

janeycanuck @Cinfhen I think it's the closest comp I've read in a long time. 2y

Cinfhen Do u think it would work well on audio?? 2y

See All 6 Comments

janeycanuck @Cinfhen Yes, I think so. I just listened to a sample and the narrator was quite good. As long as you like a thriller on audio, you should be good! (edited) 2y

Cinfhen I saw lots of mixed reviews for the audio so now I‘m back to considering print #BookNerdProblems 2y

janeycanuck @Cinfhen They are the best kind of problems to have 😁 2y

Bookstacks | Bucksport, ME (Bookstore)

My current library loans, with as many again on hold. I live in terror of them all coming in at once. 😅
Also, I'm close to the max number of renewals on some of these, whereas others are new and popular and likely to be quickly requested by others. A conundrum. 😆

#BookNerdProblems

marleed I feel this beautiful stress! And look you, proving the value in public libraries! …And my game since tax dollars support libraries - I mentally subtract $15 (new book) $10 (old book) from my own tax bill with each book I borrow! In years I owe taxes, it really does help my head make peace with that bill. 2y

squirrelbrain The struggle is real! 😬 2y

Hooked_on_books I thought The Memory of Animals wasn‘t out until June. Or maybe that‘s just here. Awesome stack regardless. 2y
