Litsy

Y‘all I‘ve gotten so much reading done over my vacation but so much was dropped on my plate the moment I got back. I‘ll be posted a bunch of reviews in the next week because I‘m more than half way through the Throne of Glass series since starting it this month and I also have a bunch of manga I need to read before my loans are due at the library! So much to do and so little time!

Strange the Dreamer | Laini Taylor

Too much work, not enough Litsy the last few days! But #ImHere and I managed to #audiocook this vegan mushroom risotto with spinach for dinner tonight. I'm not generally a pictures-of-food person but I was real proud of myself 😆.
So far I'm enjoying the tagged audiobook. Been reading a lot of heavy books lately, needed something fun.

tracey38 Looks good. And I am with you... too much work, not as much time for Litsy or reading with my new job. Hope to catch up on both over the weekend. 6y

readordierachel @tracey38 Why does adulting always have to get in the way? I hope you're liking your new job! And that you can find a good balance of working and reading/Litsy time. 6y

Where Goldfish Go: A Novel | Claude CATTAERT

#ImHere, wondering why I bought this book at a thrift shop this past weekend. 😂😂

Actually, I was most definitely influenced by the garish 1960s cover and that blurb.

#MusicalNewYear

Cinfhen, vivastory

Christine I‘m looking at it and thinking “How could you NOT buy it??” Everything about that cover is perfection, and the blurb takes it over the top. 6y

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage You'll have to let us know where the goldfish went 😂 6y

readordierachel How can you resist a book that had "all of Paris chuckling"??? ? 6y

ferskner I wouldn't be able to pass up that blurb either. 6y

CarolynM It's certainly got my attention. Where did they go? 6y

Tanisha_A Agreeing with @readordierachel! 😉 6y

Tanisha_A And the cover certainly. 😍 6y

Tamra Totally can see why. 6y

emilyhaldi Quite the blurb!! 6y

Cinfhen Sophisticated novel with goldfish in the title!!! Perfect 6y

merelybookish How can you not want to know what had Paris chuckling?! 6y

batsy I agree, you had to buy it! 😁 6y

Tonton Great cover! 6y

saresmoore That‘s an A+ blurb. 6y

MicheleinPhilly Spoiler alert: Down the toilet. 6y

rubyslippersreads @MicheleinPhilly 😹😹😹 6y

rubyslippersreads I wouldn‘t have been able to resist! 😄 6y

Chrissyreadit I‘m chuckling over the comments here- how could you go wrong??? 6y

LauraBeth I would have bought that for sure! 6y

DivineDiana I too could not have resisted! 😀 6y

AlaMich That‘s a whole lotta orange right there! 🧡🧡🧡 6y

LeahBergen @BookHoarder32 @CarolynM See @MicheleinPhilly ‘s comment above for the best answer to your question! 😂😂😂 6y

#MusicalNewYear

It‘s 5:30am in Aus and #ImHere with my latest book (really good - bout asbestos mining, doctors and Western Australia) waiting for the kids to wake up. It‘s first day back to school after the long Xmas holidays (they‘ve been off since November 😬), so I‘m fully caffeinated and ready for the drop-and-run-to-work routine of normal life again.

Cinfhen, vivastory

Cinfhen Wow!!!! First day back at school!! Is it like a whole new term??? Meaning the kids are entering new grades??? 6y

JennyM @Cinfhen yep, this is the start of their school year. So I am now the proud owner of a grade 4 and grade 1!!! 6y

Cathythoughts Good luck with it all. We all know, I think ... that they secretly love the return to school. ... their friends & routine ... hope you are well & ye slip into it all easily XXXX ♥️ 6y

JennyM @Cathythoughts thanks Cathy. They‘ve woken up happy, so that‘s always a good start 😊 6y

BarbaraBB They have been free since November? Almost three months? Wow... 6y

TrishB Hope it all goes well!‘ 6y

JennyM @BarbaraBB was the end of November... 9 looong weeks of summer 😬 6y

JennyM @TrishB thanks Trish. 😘 6y

Cinfhen Mr 6 is starting first grade!!! How exciting 😍😍😍😍😍 6y

vivastory Hope everything goes well! 6y

JennyM @Cinfhen he is, and he toddled off all happy. Thanks @vivastory 😊 6y

BarbaraBB Nine weeks! Great for the kids, though 😉. Good to hear they were both looking forward to it. Yet another phase 💜 6y

Cinfhen Wonderful ❣️❤️ 6y

Shirley | Charlotte Bront�

#imhere at home on a snowy day with a sick kid. 😕
I was inspired by @saresmoore to read the intro to my copy of Shirley. This book has not fared well critically, mostly because it's about society and departs from CB's usual exploration of the interior landscape.
So will we be disappointed disparagers or embrace it as an underappreciated gem? In hopes we will become its champions, the official hashtag...🥁 #shirlitesunite 🙂

saresmoore I love it! Not the sick kiddo part, though. Best wishes for quick healing! 6y

merelybookish @saresmoore Oh thanks! I'm in that dilemma about whether to take him in for a strep test or just wait and see. 🤷 6y

merelybookish @LeahBergen Glad you approve! 👍 6y

SamAnne Am only 25 pages in. I‘m on a Bronte kick. Just finished Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Are you a member of the Goodreads classics group perchance? 6y

merelybookish @SamAnne No, I'm not very active on GR. This is a casual Litsy buddy read. We are reading Shirley in February and posting out thoughts as we go along. You're welcome to join in. Just tag any spoilers and is the #shirlitesunite hashtag. 🙂 6y

SamAnne Wonderful! Might join. 6y

saresmoore Boo! I‘m sorry to hear that. Motherhood dilemmas are intense and never ending. I always hesitate, too, for the sake of whatever potential germs lie in wait for the weakened immune system at the doctor‘s office. 6y

merelybookish @saresmoore There's no fever so leaning towards waiting. Sometimes you wait and wish you'd gone. Sometimes you go and then feel it was a waste. So it goes! 6y

Blaire Looking forward to starting. Got all the bronte on my kindle for .99. Hope the sickness passes and you don‘t need to take kiddo to the doctor. 6y

merelybookish @Blaire Thanks! I think he's okay. Barky coughs just always sound so bad! 6y

batsy I have the older Penguin edition, too. Is your intro by Andrew and Judith Hook? I'm nervous about this one because of the reviews, as well, but I'm #Charlotte4Life so I think I'll be happy to read it all the same :) Hope your son's feeling better? 6y

erzascarletbookgasm Hope your son‘s feeling better and there‘s no need for the doctor. I‘ll be reading from Serial Reader, most probably, unless I can get a physical copy soon. 6y

merelybookish @batsy That's the edition I have. And I'm not too worried. I figure even bad CB will probably be pretty good. Even if the plot is wacko or dull, the power of her phrasing and expression will make up for it. But I am also #charlotte4life. 🙂 (And thanks re: Ned. He was well enough to go to school today.) 6y

merelybookish @erzascarletbookgasm Thank you! And good to know it's on Serial! 6y

ephemeralwaltz I'm really sorry but I realized this week that I have a lot of reading to do for work this month and I can't commit to a read as long as Shirley... So I won't be joining all of you in the #buddyread :( I've loved seeing your posts but I'll have to join in another time. So sorry again! Happy reading! Hope you all meet Shirley soon 😂 6y

merelybookish @ephemeralwaltz No need to apologize! We've all had that happen with our reading! 6y

Here I Am | Sonia Sanchez, Patti Kim

pick

#MusicalNewYear Day 29: The young boy in this wordless story has just moved to a new place with his family. The art depicts this sense of being uprooted, the chaos, and how everything appears incomprehensible. Even the signs seem like a meaningless jumble of letters. His journey to finally declaring #ImHere or “Here I Am” is deeply moving, credible and masterfully woven. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-ciM

Cinfhen, vivastory

vivastory Wonderful illustrations 6y
