Not that I am a good sleeper any other day, but Daylight Savings really throws me off.
#InsomniaAndBooks

#Chloe is very chatty about Kvothe's newest adventure and wants to know if they catch the bandits or not! 😊😉

Cathythoughts That‘s an amazing pic ❤️ 7y
LaLecture It‘s so weird that daylight savings (which is stupid anyway :D) in the US is two weeks earlier than in Europe 😂. I hate daylight savings in spring. One hour less to sleep :(. 7y
Crystalblu Do you read with a headlamp too?! 7y

The Wife Between Us | Sarah Pekkanen, Greer Hendricks
Pickpick

This book is between a pick and a so-so for me, more towards a pick. It was fast paced, interesting, well written and had me intrigued from the first page. However, I found it very predictable. Still good, but very predictable. I liked the dark undertones of the story. I would say this is Girl on the Train-esque. I think I would recommend this book... 🤓

🌟🌟🌟1/2

Bostonmomx2 Sorry it wasn‘t better for you. This is actually the first review I‘ve seen that wasn‘t glowing and gushing. I HATED girl on the train so I hope this is better (for me). I‘m waiting for my Library hold to come in next month I guess. 7y
MinDea @Bostonmomx2 I hope you love it! I did enjoy it but the predictability for me made me knock it down from a pick. 7y
Reviewsbylola Totally agree! 7y

Hoping to read a chapter or two tonight but #Chloe has different ideas; pets and snuggles. 😻 These cats I tell yeah, not the best helpers when you are trying to do something! 😆

JamieArc @MinDea That quote - seems like good companion reading to The Hate U Give (especially since Noah is a comedian and can lighten it up). It reminds me that I finished THUG right after Born a Crime. (edited) 7y
MinDea @JamieArc I am reading it after THUG. It is so good. 7y
MinDea @Jess7 I couldn't put it down last night. Only a few more chapters left! 7y
TricksyTails Look at those little ears! 😽 7y

TricksyTails 😻♥️ Sweet face! I've finished The Shining but have been following along with your challenge because it's been fun seeing everyone's reaction to the book and I love The Shining. Wish I had joined Litsy sooner! I'm failing my October tbr in the worst way, though. No focus whatsoever! 7y
TheBookStacker I had a bachelor party this weekend will catch up tomorrow!!!! 7y
PurpleyPumpkin And who could resist that face!😻 7y
ScorpioBookDreams Already finished as it's one of my fave books! 🙈 7y
CoffeeCatsBooks And how could you resist that adorable face? Too cute! 😻 7y
Crystalblu I'm a bit behind, but I'm loving every minute of it! 7y
EllieDottie I'm a little behind, but I'm getting through! I'm liking it!!! 7y

Starting this tonight for #BookToScreen

I have seen the movie several times but never read the book. I hope it explains some of the really weird and out there scenes in the movie. I heard #StephenKing did not like the movie. So maybe the book is very different?

#Chloe in the background #InsomniaAndBooks #CatsOfLitsy

Crystalblu That is what I hear. There are a few litsy people doing an October read with this one. I will be starting soon! 7y
MinDea @Crystalblu, I think they are doing #BookToScreen buddy read that I host each month!? Do you plan to join? I post questions at the end of the month, no reading schedule. 7y
Cathythoughts Lovely shot 💜 7y

TrishB Book is different in some key areas. 7y
Ashley_Nicoletto It is different in some ways. It's also terrifying. 😂😂 This book forced me step away from it for a while in the middle. I also do some weird stuff since I read it. #lifetimephobias 7y
TheNextBook Might be my favorite book of all time. With that being said I get nightmares everytime I read it. 7y
Velvetsun Not my favorite King, but a must read. The book is quite different from the movie. Mostly in little ways. 7y
Crystalblu 😂😂 Yep, and you were the one who invented me! 7y
Scurvygirl King felt Kubrick didn't follow the vision of the book at all. So he did his own miniseries that I thought was a bit cheesy. I think the movie is brilliant as is the book, each in their own way. 7y
Rachellynnwright I love this book! I also love the movie! Can‘t go wrong either way. Movie adaptations don‘t always have to perfectly match the book, in my opinion. Each is it‘s own experience:) 7y
TricksyTails While the movie is not the same as the book, you can thoroughly enjoy them as separate works. They both stick with you. It had been a while since I've read The Shining and when I did a reread, I kept expecting things to happen that actually happened in the movie. Love them both. 7y
MinDea @Velvetsun what is your favorite King book? @tricksytails do you have one? 7y
TricksyTails @MinDea Ooh this is a difficult question for me because he has written so many good ones. I love most of his early works: Carrie, 'Salem's Lot, The Shining. IT gave me the worst nightmares but I love it. Joyland. The Bill Hodges series. Misery. Pet Sematary. Dark Tower. I'm usually awful at reading short stories but he has several great collections that gave us a few good movies: Night Shift, Different Seasons. It's impossible! I'm no help, am I? 7y
Velvetsun @MinDea My fave is Salem's Lot. Also 11/22/63. 😊 7y

Good as Gone | Amy Gentry
Pickpick

I just finished #GoodAsGone and I am so glad I finally picked it up off my #botm shelf for my #TBRBingo. This story had me hooked at the first chapter. I enjoyed how the story unfolded and the writing (for the most part). I was guessing right up til the end what really happened to Julie. Very good. Would definitely recommend. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great pick @Liberty!

Jess7 Hey @MinDea do you want to co-host a buddy read with me for this one? #TheHateUGiveBuddyRead 7y
WhatDeeReads BOTM selections are usually pretty good reads. I haven‘t had one yet that I didn‘t enjoy. 7y

The many stages of #Shadow sleeping on my lap tonight...what a little snuggler this cat is! 😻💗💖😻
I have not been able to sleep these last couple of weeks and he has been very happy to snuggle with me while I read or watch TV.

Sace Aw! It's so nice to have a snuggly cat. Mine are little standoffish little jerks. 😂 7y
MinDea @RestlessFickleBookSlut It is nice having a cat that snuggles. My other cat is like yours...standoff little jerk! Pets are on her say, play time is either alone or when she allows it and absolutely no hugs or kisses! 😄 Also your name always makes me laugh when I see it. 😃 It's the best. 7y

Zelma So flipping cute! 😻 (Skippy is currently kneading my lap with razor-sharp claws. He claims it's out of love, though.) (edited) 7y
MinDea @Zelma don't they always claim the rude things they do is out of love?! Shadow was trying to get in the garbage the other day and tried to act like he was helping me out because I was taking too long getting him dinner! 😄🤣 7y
Zelma @MinDea ack, the garbage. Need to get one with a lock because Toby has started digging out trash and making messes. I've swept up old coffee grounds a few times this week. 🙄 7y
MinDea @Zelma,cats can be rude jerks😏 7y
Zelma @MinDea absolutely! 😆 we always tell Radar that he's the only good kitty in the house. 7y
Sace Thanks! 7y
