I did that thing where I mistook plans for another Saturday for today. My afternoon just opened up! MOAR READING. Next up for #Icepocalypse2017: a short story collection centered on Alaska. 🤘❄

8little_paws Another top floor Litten! Your view looks much like mine, only no ice here. 8y
LindsayReads @8little_paws Top floor is the only way to go! 8y

#Icepocalypse2017 continues, allowing me to tear through this audio. For some reason, I was not expecting this to be as funny as it was. Not that it was just one hilarious romp after another, but he balanced the harsher realities of South African history and culture quite nicely with so many humorous stories. So glad the publisher went with him as the reader on the audio--his delivery is essential and spectacular.

As a non-believer who also loves Islam, I connected with much of Power's POV. While she came to the lessons with Sheik Akram with a decent foundation and curiosity, she was willing to call herself out on moments of her own ignorance and privilege. I loved the Sheik's lessons most of all and sussing out the many shades of conservative Islam. By the end, I got a little weepy, and I can't wait to read the progressive, feminist writers referenced.

It's official: we've moved into the tea-and-fresh-baked-cookies portion of the ice storm. And moved on from comics to a middle grade novel for #icestormreadathon book 3. #Icepocalypse2017

Moving on to #icestormreadathon book 2. I borrowed the first few issues of this from a coworker ages ago and remember liking them well enough. #Icepocalypse2017

I think I'm going to do the thing where you alternate chapters between books. Noah's been talking a lot about the impact of Christianity on South Africa, which might be an interesting juxtaposition to If the Oceans Were Ink. #Icepocalypse2017

A'ight ice storm. Do your worst.*
Book 1 of my #icestormreadathon #Icepocalypse2017

*But please don't knock out power to my house cause it's hard to read in the dark.

LindsayReads Ooooh, I almost bought this the other day at SC because it has stayed with me. Macbeth is on audio through Hoopla, too! (I listened to it right after reading T&T.) Can't wait to hear what you think! 8y
Keyoung @LindsayReads I loved it!! Sometimes the action/magic got a little confusing or unclear, but Macbeth was my first Shakespeare and has always been my favorite. I still have the 👁✋🏽🔪 soliloquy memorized (had to perform it in high school) and I loved the twist on it here 8y
LindsayReads Yayayay!!!! I loved the essays at the end, too. Did you see the movie that came out about a year and a half ago? I thought it was really well done. 8y
Keyoung @LindsayReads The Fassbender one? I haven't seen it yet. 8y
LindsayReads Yeah! That's the one. It also has an interesting interpretation of the Weird Sisters. 8y

I started this one month ago to the day, December 13th. I have about 100 pages left. #Icepocalypse2017 is coating the ground already; I've got on my comfy clothes; cats in place; pillows, blankets, snacks at the ready. LET'S DO THIS.

The library is closed tomorrow in anticipation of the icepocalypse that's due to hit St. Louis. Stocked the pantry, in my jammies, and hunkering down with the #GetBooked podcast and ready for my own personal readathon. 🤓🤓🤓⛸⛸⛸📚📚📚

(Not my photo, but that's what the store looked like tonight!)

sammisho We are hunkered down here in KC too! 8y
LindsayReads Best of luck, @sammisho! I hope you are able to stay indoors with lots of good books! 8y
Grrlbrarian Wishing you uninterrupted power, delicious hot chocolate, and even better reads during Icepocalypse! 8y

Keyoung I am SO READY for this ice storm. I have so many book and so much tea. 8y
LindsayReads @Keyoung 😂😂😂😂 Me, too! Knowing that I don't have to drive anywhere, that I've got a ton of my fave snacks, and books galore makes me excited for an ice storm! 8y
annkuch13 I'm actually in St. Louis right now, too! Here for a family thing and hoping we'll still be able to fly out tomorrow. 8y
LindsayReads @annkuch13 Hello!! I hope you can see me waving!! 👋👋👋 Best of luck to you! 8y
