BurningBride

I have the first book - Hearts and Bones. I‘m pretty sure Rosina Lippi recommended it. The #burningbride is third in the trilogy. Has anyone read it? The closest song I could think of is Goldrush Brides by 10,000 Maniacs. I could have tagged Women‘s Diaries Of The Westward Journey too.... #nofemmeber

Cinfhen, Billypar

Billypar Sounds like a good whodunnit with an interesting 19th century backdrop! 🕵️ 6y

Cinfhen Not familiar with the book or the song but if u want you can check out the Spotify playlist under NoFemmeber. I‘m gonna try to find the link and share it 6y

Chrissyreadit @Cinfhen I have to type the address to the playlist in- I‘m soooo lazy! 6y

Fallingwater: The Building of Frank Lloyd Wright's Masterpiece | Marc Harshman, Anna Egan Smucker

This is a beautiful children‘s book about fallingwater and we hope to visit sometime in the next year, but after reading “Loving Frank,” all I can think of is (and it seems quite macabre) Mamah his #burningbride #NoFemmeber Hope that‘s not too much of a spoiler. 😬

Cinfhen, Billypar

Crazeedi I lived 45 minute from there for many years, beautiful 6y

CarolynM Another of my bucket list destinations❤️ 6y

Billypar I had to sneak a look at Wikipedia, and oh my....never heard of that before in connection to FLW! A story that is in stark contrast to the peaceful nature of his work like Fallingwater. 6y

Cinfhen Here I go again, I‘ve been meaning to read tagged book but #SoManyBooksSoLittleTime

Loving Frank: A Novel

JennyM @Cinfhen me too. I hope to get to this very soon (she says for the millionth time 🙃) 6y

Cinfhen Truth @JennyM 6y

Blaire @Crazeedi were not too far away either and my in-laws live in Morgantown so it‘s a doable trip. @CarolynM 6y

Blaire @Cinfhen @jennym I would never have gotten to it if it hadn‘t been a book club pick. My tbr is almost 1000 books long (and those are ones I‘ve actually put on a goodreads list). 😂😂😂 6y

Blaire @Billypar yes, it‘s shocking! 6y

Flow: The Cultural Story of Menstruation | Susan Kim, Elissa Stein

I‘ve posted about this book before, but it is a favorite of mine. If you liked Unmentionable, check this book out!

Zonite would definitely be the perfect product to turn you into a #burningbride. One of the ingredients was sodium hypochlorite, so essentially you would be douching with bleach. 😬🤷🏼‍♀️

Hollie Ouch!! 6y

CarolynM 😱😱😱 6y

Billypar The salesmanship of the article is something else. I was nodding to the title question, 'Sure, her information should absolutely be complete and correct'. But the 'and therefore...' part sure came out of nowhere! 6y

Cinfhen 🤯😳 6y

Mdargusch Ouch! 6y

Married to a Bedouin | Marguerite van Geldermalsen

pick

#nofemmeber #burningbride

Here‘s a book I read a few years ago that fits. Becoming a #bride in a place that‘s #burning hot! Marguerite is a NZ woman who married a Bedouin man and lived in a cave raising a family. It‘s a fascinating book about learning to fit into a new culture/community, managing life away from modern conveniences, with some adventures before chronicling how their community was forced away from their traditional caves.

Cinfhen, Billypar

Cinfhen This sounds super fascinating... 6y

Centique @Cinfhen it was - and a very easy read. I‘ll keep my eye out for a copy of it. I doubt you can find it outside of NZ or Aus! 😘 6y

Cinfhen Ha!!! I was thinking finding this book might not be that easy 😘 6y

Cathythoughts Very clever choosing here ... sounds really good too 👍🏻❤️ 6y

LeahBergen I have this waiting on my shelf! 👍🏻 6y

Billypar Great synopsis! 😃 6y

Centique @Cathythoughts thanks Cathy and Vinny! @Billypar 6y

Centique @LeahBergen yay! It‘s quite upbeat so a nice one in between your heavier reading maybe? 💕 6y

A Burnable Book: A Novel | Bruce Holsinger

#burningbride #NoFemmeber
No burning brides....but some books 📚 which is always bad!
Not usually a big fan of historical mysteries but I enjoyed this one.

Cinfhen, Billypar

Cinfhen Actually sounds interesting 🤓 6y

Melissa_J Have you read the sequel yet? I haven‘t. 6y

TrishB @Cinfhen it is 👍🏻 6y

TrishB @melissa_j no 😱 usual, too many books etc... 6y

Cinfhen Low Litsy rating 🤔 6y

TrishB @Cinfhen very mixed 🤷‍♀️ 6y

Melissa_J @Cinfhen I liked it, too, if that helps. Trish and my seal of approval should take precedence over Litsy ratings 😂 6y

Cinfhen Absolutely @Melissa_J 🙌🏻💕 6y

Billypar I feel like that happens a decent amount where I love a book, and am all set to review it, only to find it has a crazy low rating 😯. But to each her/his own! 6y

TrishB @Cinfhen @Melissa_J some people‘s reviews will always be more convincing as I know we like similar stuff! 😁 6y

TrishB @Billypar it‘s the joy of reading 👍🏻 6y

Wide Sargasso Sea | Jean Rhys

#NoFemmeber #BurningBride
I think I've probably gone for an obvious choice in Bertha Mason as the mad woman in the attic Mr rochester's first wife who in this book is allowed a life beyond the demented images of the victorian gothic illustration i managed to find.

BarbaraBB Well chosen! 6y

Billypar Good one! ☺️👍 6y

batsy Great pick! 6y

Cinfhen Clever 6y

The Princess Bride: An Illustrated Edition of S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure | William Goldman

One foot wrong in that fire swamp, and it could've been Buttercup!

#BurningBride #NoFemmeber @Billypar @Cinfhen

Cinfhen Oh no!! Not buttercup 😂😂😂 6y

Centique Perfect choice! 6y

Billypar Very true! You would think the RUS's would have found a better home- how many of them must be victims of the fires? 😹 6y

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes: And Other Lessons from the Crematory | Caitlin Doughty

DAY 4: For #BurningBride, I‘m going with the “corpse is on fire” lyric. This book opened my eyes to how messed up and money-hungry the US funeral industry is. And it solidified my desire to be cremated. 🔥

Tex2Flo Absolutely loved this book! Learned a lot and made a distinct change in my end-of-life plans. (edited) 6y

Cathythoughts I don‘t know this... but it looks great 👍🏻 6y

britt_brooke @Tex I learned so much from this book. I‘ve lost 2 grandparents since reading it and, at both funerals, I couldn‘t help but think about the process behind the scenes. I know that‘s morbid, but so is the process. Its such a weird industry. 6y

britt_brooke @Cathythoughts It‘s a pretty weird read, but really informative. I definitely recommend it! 6y

erzascarletbookgasm From the blurb, sounds interesting! 6y

Cinfhen Another great choice for #NonFictionNovember and what a fascinating concept for a book. 6y

SkeletonKey Just finished this book yesterday, can‘t believe it took so long for me to pick it up. 6y

Kappadeemom Is it gross? Will I have to cover my eyes? 6y

britt_brooke @erzascarletbookgasm It‘s an interesting one for sure! 6y

britt_brooke @Cinfhen Thanks! It‘s a really interesting read. 6y

britt_brooke @SkeletonKey It‘s such an weird and fascinating read. Have to read her other book? I liked this one more, but it‘s an interesting look into other customs. 6y

britt_brooke @Kappadeemom Some parts are a bit cringeworthy, but not too gross. 6y

Billypar I feel like this could be a companion read with Mary Roach's Stiff- one I've put on hold and then chickened out on when it became available 😳 6y

JennyM I bet this is fascinating!!! 6y

SkeletonKey @britt_brooke - I‘m starting her other one next. 6y

britt_brooke @Billypar I read them back to back! 😆 But, once Mary Roach started talking about maggots, I started skimming. 🤢 6y

britt_brooke @JennyM It really is! And it‘s oddly entertaining, too. Doughty‘s an interesting personality. It‘s a great read! 6y

britt_brooke @SkeletonKey Oh good - hope you enjoy! 6y

Billypar @britt_brooke Ha- that's too funny--a morbid double feature to say the least! Yeah, not sure how I'll do with the maggots 🤢 6y

vivastory This was very informative, fascinating & to echo others in the thread, it made me finalize my funeral arrangements (also cremated). 6y

britt_brooke @vivastory I really appreciated Doughty‘s candor. Our funeral industry and normal customs creep me out. I don‘t need anyone pinning my dead eyelids closed. Holy hell. (edited) 6y

vivastory There should be an emoji for that 😬😂 6y

britt_brooke @vivastory 😆 6y

Elvis Presley | Bobbie Ann Mason

This is Elvis Presley wearing his “burning love” jumpsuit. Bear with me. I have not read the tagged book, but I have been to Graceland! Today‘s challenge for #nofemmeber #burningbride brought the classic Burning Love song to mind! I have to suppose that there had to be some burning love with a burning bride! 😀
“Hunk, hunka, burning love”

Cinfhen, Billypar

Cathythoughts Love this post !! Elvis 🕺🏾❤️ 6y

Cinfhen Hahaha “Hunka Hunka “ 🙌🏻❤️😂😂 6y

BarbaraBB Elvis ❤️❤️. And I have been crying in Graceland too 😉 6y

Billypar If I were going to be an Elvis impersonator, I might try the red jumpsuit- not a bad look for him 🤔😋 6y

DivineDiana @Billypar I think you should rock this next Halloween! 😉 6y
