Arctic Fury | Greer Macallister

I‘m really enjoying this HF #WrittenByALitten @theladygreer and it‘s sort of kismet that my bookmark, that of the Sierra Nevada Mountains is highlighted in this book☺️

Cathythoughts Nice coincidence 👯‍♀️ 4y

TrishB Love it when that happens ❤️ 4y

Cinfhen Thank you my fellow #BookNerds for recognizing the joy of a #BookishCoincidence @TrishB @Cathythoughts (edited) 4y

theladygreer Ooh, love it! 4y

Cinfhen It took me awhile to make the connection between The Very Bad Thing and the Sierras @theladygreer I loved that added twist and I‘m happy it wasn‘t mentioned in any review I read 4y

theladygreer @cinfhen There are a couple of Goodreads reviews that give it away but I‘m glad none of the major ones have! 4y

#BookishCoincidence 🧡I LOVE when they occur and this book is really good!!! I can‘t wait to dive into the rest of Elin Hilderbrand‘s backlist🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗#PopSummer2020 #SummerInTheTitle

TrishB So, this is 99p on kindle today 😁 4y

Cinfhen BUY IT @TrishB !!!!!!! 4y

TrishB I have done 😁 I‘ve always avoided these as they look very lightweight, but you have persuaded me! 4y

squirrelbrain Oh @TrishB you *are* naughty.... heads off to Amazon to spend more money....! 4y

TrishB @squirrelbrain who can resist a book for 99p 😁 (definitely not me!). 4y

squirrelbrain Me either @TrishB ! Although, I‘m very surprised.... according to my spreadsheet I‘ve only bought 17 99p Kindle books this year - I expected it to be a lot more! #spreadsheetgeek 4y

Cinfhen #SorryNotSorry @TrishB @squirrelbrain (edited) 4y

TrishB @squirrelbrain @Cinfhen I foolishly went away and counted and have brought 113 #99ponkindle books this year! But that‘s not bad in 7 months she says. 4y

Cinfhen Hahahahaha HILARIOUS @TrishB 😂🙌🏻❤️ 4y

Cinfhen Do I dare go count...I‘m definitely more than @squirrelbrain but less than @TrishB 4y

squirrelbrain @TrishB 😲 although in my defence I have been trying *not* to buy any books! Eagerly awaiting the results from @Cinfhen 🤣 4y

Cinfhen 34 #KindleDailyDeals since January 1, 2020 @TrishB @squirrelbrain not too bad but I probably bought another 20 #AudibleDailyDeals 🙈 4y

Cinfhen Still.... no where as close to @TrishB !!!!!! 4y

TrishB I excuse myself by saying it‘s less than a posh coffee a day (which I don‘t drink!) 😁😁 4y

squirrelbrain I don‘t drink coffee either @TrishB so that‘s a poor excuse! 🤣 4y

squirrelbrain @Cinfhen - we‘re definitely not as bad as @TrishB ! 4y

Cinfhen I do like the posh coffee @TrishB @squirrelbrain but I haven‘t had one since Coronavirus outbreak 😝 4y

The History of the Hobbit | John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, John D. Rateliff

Strangely enough, my Hobbit footnotes tonight are overlapping with yet another of my current buddy reads #ShakespeareReadAlong‘s The Winter Tale. It‘s a small world, even literature-ly

Bradleygirl I was listening to the NoHoldsBard podcast on the Winter's Tale today--they also brought up the bear and how it was likely a real one from the concurrent bear-baiting spectacles 😬 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Bradleygirl Not scary for the actors at all! 😱 6y

Improvement | Joan Silber

A couple of weeks ago I read Improvement where one of the characters, Monika, does provenance research, trying to figure out which art was stolen, usually by the Nazis. She had no idea before her mother had her, her mother spent a summer in Turkey stealing and swindling artifacts to sell to museums. In Our Short History, the MC‘s grandparents are captured by the Nazis in Hungary but her dad escapes. Later on at a museum they find a family 👇🏼

Reggie Portrait on display at a museum in NYC that no one knows how it got there. And now @Wellread-neck has reviewed a book and I‘ll give you one chance to guess what it‘s about. Art has always been about what I see, I‘ve never given thought to the history. I have to read it. What are the book gods trying to tell me? Or is this just a #bookishcoincidence? (edited) 7y

Cinfhen I'm fascinated and a bit obsessed about the Nazi looting of art...excellent memoir I recently read was

The Orpheus Clock: The Search for My Family�s Art Treasures Stolen by the Nazis

Cinfhen No such thing as a #bookishcoincidence #ReadingGodsSendingSigns 7y

Reggie @Cinfhen it keeps coming up. I stacked The Orpheus Clock. 7y

Well-ReadNeck @Reggie This is AWESOME! I love getting on little kicks like this. Stacking all of these!!! Thanks!! @Cinfhen 7y

Cinfhen Guess what you guys...I was reading an article this morning, listing the National Book Critics finalists and guess what book is on the short list for top fiction @Well-ReadNeck @Reggie !?!?...

Improvement

Reggie @Cinfhen Heyyyyy!!!!!! Alright, she deserves it. I think about that book a lot and the name is obvious but there‘s many different ways it plays out in the book. 7y

Cinfhen I love when my #booklife collides with #reallife ...super psyched to read this book....considering before yesterday I didn‘t know it existed 😁 7y

ValerieAndBooks Ahh, my TBR list just grew by three books! 😄 @Reggie @Cinfhen @Well-ReadNeck !! I find the lives of artists and art history to be just as interesting as the art itself. 7y

Labyrinth Lost | Zoraida Cordova

I couldn't decide which book was next so read a chapter of each to try to decide.
Funny #bookishcoincidence: both MCs have a sister named Rose. Huh.

Giants: The Dwarfs of Auschwitz | Eilat Negev, Yehuda Koren

The Lilliput Troupe (an all-dwarf Jewish family) was a successful vaudeville act in the 1930's until Hitler came into power. Somehow, they all survived Auschwitz AND Mengele's experiments. #Inspiring or what? #PhotoADayNov16 #NonfictionNovember
