Pickpick

Soft pick, since I think I'm way too much into feminist thinking to really enjoy this story from... 1998? But it had some good moments and some really strong King vibes. Especially how he works with sound through text. That was very well made. I also liked the dog and think that King enjoys writing about dogs 😁 🐶

It‘s time for this month‘s #BookishMonopoly! I rolled a nine again and landed on “Read By Candlelight.” Not sure where I found this prompt! 🤓📖🕯️I thought I‘d go with more wisdom from Jim Henson and The Muppets. It‘s been on my TBR for awhile. Thanks again to @AkashaVampie for inspiring me to take on this challenge and to fellow player @Jari-chan
Now I need to search around for some candles!

AkashaVampie Oh fun... and u are so welcome. I love to inspire people to read. Also, let me know what scent u use for the candle. Hope it smells wonderful. 5d
Jari-chan What a lovely prompt! Let us know how it's going 😀❤️🕯️ 5d
UwannaPublishme @AkashaVampie I just found one with a gardenia scent. I may start with that and then maybe try some different ones. 5d
UwannaPublishme @Jari-chan Thx! Will keep you posted. Maybe I should have picked a dusty old classic written before there was electricity. 🤓✒️📜 5d
Jari-chan @UwannaPublishme Oh, that would've been so fitting! 🤭 5d

On to my next. #BookishMonopoly roll (almost went to book jail ?). My task is "continue a series" and I want to continue the Dark Tower series. Since it's such a short book, I also chose to read Bear Head by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

@AkashaVampie

AkashaVampie Yay! Hope u get that series done with #BookishMonopoly 1w
Jari-chan @AkashaVampie I sure will! 💪 1w
UwannaPublishme Woo hoo! Sounds like a cool series! How does Go to Book Jail work? I didn‘t include it on my board, but I‘m curious. @AkashaVampie 5d

AkashaVampie @UwannaPublishme honestly its whatever u want to do for it. For me, I did that I have to do an extra roll (which really isnt a punishment... haha). Some people I have seen do where they dont get to read a book... or They have to read a book from an author they dont like. Its really what u want to do. 5d
Jari-chan @UwannaPublishme For me it's up to the situation. Either I'm not allowed to buy a book or maybe it's something else. Like when I meet with a friend I have to buy them a book, instead one for myself 🤭 5d
UwannaPublishme @AkashaVampie @Jari-chan Thanks for explaining. You two are the best! I love that‘s it‘s all up to us. I‘d go with an extra roll or maybe try not to buy any new books. But reading an author I don‘t like? No way! 😁 5d
Jari-chan @UwannaPublishme That's what I love about this game too. You can really make it work for you 😁 5d

Der falsche Spiegel: Roman | Sergej Lukianenko

Mehso-so

It's been quite a while since I've read the first part, but I remembered enough to read this volume. It's a typical Lukianenko, so my rating only shows that my reading taste has changed. I'm not the same I used to be, so the way females are shown, or rather not shown, here bothered me a lot. But that's only me. A few years ago I would've enjoyed it quite a lot.

Here‘s an adorable picture book about a boy who is resistant to any change in his routine…until he sees how much fun a little diversion can be! This is my #FavoriteAuthor Anne Tyler‘s 2nd children‘s book. It also marks the completion of my longtime quest to read all of Anne‘s books: 24 novels, 2 kid‘s books and 2 short stories made into ebooks. What a joy ride! Now I‘m ready for Anne to publish a new one!🤓📖

Hey Littens! Guess What? I have finished more books for My #BookishMonopoly.

I enjoyed all of these.... I think I really vibed with Splintered. Loved the Alice In Wonderland theme.

As always, feel free to join in with me on my #BookishMonopoly Journey. Everyone is welcome at anytime. I don't do mine month to month. Its just when I feel like playing/reading.

UwannaPublishme Wow! You‘re really crushing your #BookishMonopoly reading challenge! 🙌🏻 2w
AkashaVampie @UwannaPublishme thanks. I'm trying. I'm almost to my goal. I think I'm on 44th book of 52 2w
