NoSpendJanuary

Good Evening Mrs. Craven: The Wartime Stories of Mollie Panter-Downes | Mollie Panter-Downes, Gregory Lestage

“All autumn, Mrs Parmenter had run out between the showers and picked the asters, saying brightly that an old woman must be allowed to do something around the house. Opposition would hardly have been hysterical if she had offered to make the beds, but her tastes appeared to be floral." ?

I think I‘m going to enjoy this one after reading a few of its sharp quotes. A favorite seller was offering these up at a steal, so much for #nospendjanuary...

rubyslippersreads Those bookends! 😍📚😍 7y

Jess_Read_This @rubyslippersreads I saw them at a boutique type shop when my husband and I hadn‘t been dating long and fell In love with them. He surprised me with them for my birthday. That was when I figured he would be fairly supportive of my reading habits.. 😂 He didn‘t know then what he was getting into. 7y

Leftcoastzen Absolutely love those bookends! Is it the ultimate irony that most Littens don‘t need them as our shelves are packed , double and triple parked? 7y

Mdargusch I need those bookends! And you‘re right @Leftcoastzen - I have bookends and can‘t use them. There‘s no room! 7y

kspenmoll Those bookends! 7y

Jess_Read_This @Leftcoastzen @Mdargusch Isn‘t that the truth! I own two sets of bookends and they are for show with certain book sets bc all my other books are double stacked on my shelves! #bookishproblems (edited) 7y

Jess_Read_This @kspenmoll I just love them! They are pretty solid too! 7y

SilversReviews Love the bookends!! 7y

The Marriage Test | Betina M. Krahn

I wish I could figure out how to read while keeping my arms under the blanket! Thankfully, we‘re not getting the same bomb cyclone effects that the seaboard is getting, but it‘s still cold! Grateful to be able to be snuggled up and safe. #themarriagetest #betinakrahn

A Study in Charlotte | Brittany Cavallaro

pick

My last read in 2017. I was fortunate enough to finish with a thoroughly entertaining mystery. I rather guessed at the ending but not all the nuances of the plot. If you enjoy Holmes adaptations and YA plot-lines (which I do) I think you‘d enjoy this one. I wasn‘t sure about Holmes‘ intentions most of the book and was quickly drawn into the story. Recommend. 4⭐️
I‘m quickly looking into the sequel details before #NoSpendJanuary hits me... 😉

actualdisneyprincess Loved it! (And I‘m also going to try really hard to work on not spending money, so heyyy we can do it!!! 🤜🏻) 7y

Jess_Read_This @actualdisneyprincess I really liked this book a lot too! My entire mid morning-now was spent on the couch reading. So good. This whole not spending money thing is going to be hard... glad I‘m not alone in the struggle! 🙌🏼 7y

Louise I was surprised at how well-written this book was. There were so many nice little references to the original Holmes stories woven throughout. I'm looking forward to the sequel! 7y

actualdisneyprincess @Jess_Read_This Charlotte is hilarious and I love her in all of her sullen, smartass glory. 😂 (I BELIEVE IN US.) 7y

Jess_Read_This @Louise Not that I‘m enabling or anything... @actualdisneyprincess don‘t read this. 😂The sequel in hardcover is only $6.36 on Amazon right now.... 7y

Jess_Read_This @Louise I LOVED how the original Holmes stories were woven into it too. And I agree- stellar writing! 7y

actualdisneyprincess @Jess_Read_This it‘s okay I already have it 😂😂😂 7y

Jess_Read_This @actualdisneyprincess She‘s the best. I loved when she showed up dressed for the dance and Watson was clueless. Then realizes at the dance she wanted to go! 7y

Jess_Read_This @actualdisneyprincess 😂Perfect! I‘ll be better tomorrow when no spend January officially starts! 7y

actualdisneyprincess @Jess_Read_This RIGHT LIKE HOW CUTE except perish the thought that Charlotte Holmes would ever do something cute. 😐 7y

Louise @Jess_Read_This That's a great deal, but I'd like the softcover to match the first one, alas! 7y

actualdisneyprincess @Jess_Read_This it‘s fine, it‘s still December for another few hours ;) 7y

Jess_Read_This @Louise I completely understand and feel similarly in my series collecting. 7y

Jess_Read_This @actualdisneyprincess Right?! Not Charlotte. Everything is cool, logical, and done with a single minded methodical purpose in deduction. 7y

Izai.Amorim Happy New Year! 7y

Jess_Read_This @Izai.Amorim Happy New Year!! May 2018 bring you only the best reads! ❤️📖❤️ 7y
