🎶A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired, unhappy🎶

#nosurprises #rocktober
This bit reminded me of Tearwater Tea from Owl at Home, which was one of my family's favorite stories when I was growing up. We still reference it from time to time, especially when we find very short pencils. 😆❤️😭

Centique Awww! I‘ve never read this. It sounds gorgeous! 😍 7y
BarbaraBB Wow 😍 7y
Natasha.C.Barnes @Centique It's THE BEST. The frog and toad family are generally lovely books for kids. 7y
Cinfhen Awww, need to find this❣️ 7y

#Rocktober #day12 #NoSurprises There should be no surprise that I've bought over 20 books in the last month. And I still have orders coming, not to mention my subscription boxes, plus a preorder of Bon Scotts new biography (AC/DC forever!🤘) Now I'm able to see the words on a page again, I should power through my TBR. Right? No bookdepository.com you cannot tempt me with your evil emails🙅🏼

TrishB Ohh that book will go on my pile to buy for hubby fir Christmas and fingers crossed he doesn't buy it first! 7y
Gayan I will have to have the Bon Scott book for sure and I've been very curious about The Sister Brothers. 7y
LeeRHarry Oh yeah book depository is the devil! 😏 7y

#nosurprises is one of my all time favorite songs and really calms my frazzled nerves when I want to escape all the daily stresses and retreat to a cabin in the woods like Thoreau.

Looking for Harvey Weinstein | Holly Yanez, Shirley Yanez

I thought there were #nosurprises when it came to the disgusting reality that is Harvey Weinstein‘s treatment of women.

That this book exists, though? I‘m surprised. Also worried.

I am glad that many are speaking out, but I‘m sad that there are SO MANY victims at his hands.

LauraJ Me too. Went thru the same thing when I was in my early 20s. So glad women are starting to band together and support each other. 7y
BarbaraBB That this book exists!! 7y
Cinfhen It's so sad/ upsetting and this book?!? Really???? Ugh 😑 7y
dariazeoli @LauraJ I‘m so sorry you went through that. ❤️ 7y
dariazeoli @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen Right? I know there are books for all occasions, but 😤 7y

Here's the other Night Stalker book I have read this year, it just happens to fit the #rocktober theme for today, as it very quickly (too quickly in my opinion) became abundantly clear who the killer was and there were definitely #nosurprises. Spilt the book to a large extent for me.

Bluebird Noooo! I was looking forward to reading this one! I missed the group read but hoped to read it later this month. It's no fun when a mystery is predictable. 😒 7y
Cinfhen That's the worse @Bluebird @Andrew65 I agree, it's no fun if there are #nosurprises 7y
Andrew65 @Bluebird Overall it was not a bad book, most people gave it 3.5 or 4 stars, but I just feel it took some of the shine off the book. I still plan to continue with the series but hope the killer is not so evident next time. The average was 3.67. 7y
Bluebird 👍thanks. I will let you know what I think. Perhaps I won't solve the mystery as quickly as you. 🤞 7y
Andrew65 @Bluebird I look forward to hearing what you think. 7y

Poor Kassandra suffered from #nosurprises She was given the gift of prophecy and could see the future BUT was cursed that no one would ever believe the true prophecies she spoke. This was one of my favourite Greek myths in high school. Even the Trojan horse was no surprise to Kassandra!

Reggie Have you ever seen that Woody Allen movie where everyone keeps telling each other, “Don‘t be such a Cassandra?” Because they‘re all being pessimists. So funny. 7y
Centique @Reggie oh I have to find that! I used to call one of my friends Cassandra too 😋 7y
