Brother, I'm Dying | Edwidge Danticat

The #bigbadwolf sale ended yesterday. It's a big deal for local readers, and for good reason--you can find excellent bargains. I tried not to lose my shit this year and attempted to practise restraint. Not only is my book buying completely out of hand, I'm running out of space. This is my modest #bookhaul. Er ... part 1 of 2 🙈

Ms_T ‘Modest‘ 😂😂😂 7y

Cinfhen Yay for not losing your 💩!!! 7y

Lacythebookworm The Book of Strange New Things 😍😍😍 I‘m eager to hear your thoughts on it! 7y

batsy Totally did, @Cinfhen @callielafleur 😂 #pleasesendhelp 7y

batsy @Lacythebookworm It does sound so good, plus that cover! I'm embarrassed to admit it'll probably take me awhile to get to it 😆 7y

Lacythebookworm That is the best cover! It‘s chunky, but the prose is not difficult at all. 😊 7y

Redwritinghood You got some great stuff there! 7y

Kalalalatja Yes! H. C. Andersen 👏👏👏👏 7y

HardcoverHearts The End of the Affair is a heartbreaker of a book!! ❤️💔 7y

batsy @Redwritinghood Thank you 😊 7y

batsy @Kalalalatja So happy to find this bio! 7y

batsy @HardcoverHearts The movie was so sad! I've only read one book by him so far and want to read more, so grabbed this one. 7y

HardcoverHearts I thought the movie did a good job but to book is so poignant and incredibly well crafted and written. 7y

saresmoore I think you did some excellent work here. 7y

Leftcoastzen Wow I looked up that event online, looks super cool! 7y

LeahBergen I‘ll be reading The End of the Affair pretty soon. 👏🏻 7y

whimsy OMG this is a dream! (and it's doable hmmmmmmmm 🤔) How huge a discount would you say you got all in all? 7y

batsy @saresmoore The best kind of work, Sara 💪😘 7y

batsy @Leftcoastzen It's super fun! And I'm glad we have it. #bookssssss 7y

batsy @LeahBergen Nice! I would say I'd join you but I decided to do two big challenges next year and need to check my reading schedule 😂😂 7y

batsy @whimsy So math is not my strong suit 😆 But it's about an average of 10 ringgit per book. Some paperbacks for less, and some hardbacks or special editions for slightly more. 7y

whimsy @batsy I just converted that and 😱 what a steal! Worth a plane trip! 😁😁😁 7y

batsy @whimsy Yes! 😂 It's easier for people in Thailand and Singapore who travel in by bus, but if you could snap up an Air Asia deal... 😉 7y

The Wind off the Small Isles | Mary Stewart

#Bookmail from Book Depository ? Looking forward to my December reading. Early December is a cousin's wedding, and a whole gaggle of relatives from abroad will be around. I would like to be the kind of person for whom nonstop socialising is "fun", but yikes. ?

So I'm counting on a peaceful Christmas where I read my cozies and pretend it's "winter" over here ?❌

TheKidUpstairs 😍😍😍😍 Those are gorgeous. Best of luck getting through all the socializing! I feel you, I get overwhelmed very easily by that many people and that much smiling, happy talk. Knowing you've got some good books to escape to when it's done should help! 7y

Kalalalatja I feel you! Just the thought of all the social activities over the next few months make my eye twitch 😳 7y

batsy @TheKidUpstairs Yes, overwhelmed is exactly how I feel. Thank you, I will definitely escape into reading any chance I get 😆 7y

batsy @Kalalalatja Right? I hope you're able to let off steam on Litsy and that it helps. Hahaha, my eye twitches in solidarity 👊 7y

erzascarletbookgasm You received your books! They look good. Hope you‘ll be able to enjoy them and get some me-time amidst all the socialising. 7y

batsy @erzascarletbookgasm Oh, I'm embarrassed to say ... This was a later order 😳 The ones from September are still not here. Do I need to go on a book buying ban? ... Yes #PleaseSendHelp 😆😆 7y

LauraBrook Yikes indeed! These look like two excellent books to help you recover from all of that forced extroverting! No matter how much you love your family, other people can be so draining. 💗 7y

erzascarletbookgasm @batsy book buying ban? What medieval instrument of torture is that? #proudenabler 7y

batsy @LauraBrook So true ❤️ The tagged book is a total #blameitonlitsy purchase... @rubyslippersreads and @LeahBergen, in fact 😄 It sounds lovely. 7y

batsy @erzascarletbookgasm Knew I could count on Littens 😁 7y

Ms_T Sounds like a fun month. Enjoy! 7y

laurieluna I'm the same! Was at a Christening yesterday and all I wanted to do was sneak off to a corner of the function room and read the book I'd put in my bag. It's not that I don't like my relatives, I just find conversation awkward as I have so little in common with them. 7y

rubyslippersreads Glad I could encourage you to buy more books! 😄 7y

rubyslippersreads @batsy I think a book buying ban would be too stressful along with all the socializing you'll have to do. 😂 7y

RohitSawant Yikes is my reaction as well when it comes to family gatherings. 😱 7y

MayJasper Best wishes. 7y

LeahBergen I love the cover on the Stewart. It‘s a fun little old-fashioned read. And now I‘m off to read more about the other one. 😆 7y

LeahBergen It‘s so weird - I‘m tagged in this and yet have no notification. Hmmm... 7y

drokka Oh another British Library Crime Classic. They're my version of an Easter Egg hunt. 7y

drokka @LeahBergen Maybe because of the comma? Though I wouldn't have thought so. (edited) 7y

LeahBergen @drokka Ahh, I bet you that‘s it. It shows up in blue here, though. 🤔 And yes, I‘m always hunting these eggs, too. 😆 7y

batsy @Ms_T Thank you! I'm sure I will enjoy parts of it 😁 7y

batsy @miralunasbooknook That's exactly it! Even if I like (most 😁) of my extended relations, it's the nonstop engagement with others that can be quite taxing. 7y

batsy @rohit-sawant 😂👊 7y

batsy @MayJasper Thanks ☺️ 7y

batsy @rubyslippersreads You're right, what was I thinking 😂 7y

batsy @LeahBergen I'm having the same issue lately, where I've been tagged but don't get a notification. @drokka Interesting about the punctuation, I usually punctuate right after the tagged names and it still highlights as blue. 🤔 As for the BL Crime Classics, now I want to collect them all 😀 7y

drokka I wonder if it has something to do with the changes that had to be made because of the iOS updates. @LeahBergen 7y

batsy @drokka Maybe? Though I'm using Android ☺️ 7y

Sace Socializing is not fun. Ever. With anyone. It's taxing and exhausting. I hope you survive it! 7y

batsy @RestlessFickleBookSlut Thank you! It's comforting to have so many people here understand ❤️ 7y

The Girl with a Clock for a Heart: A Novel | Peter Swanson

Ok soooo... I already slipped up today, why not just compound the problem? 🙈

This one has mixed reviews but I enjoyed Peter Swanson's other books (fast paced, brain candy type thrillers - The Kind Worth Killing and Her Every Fear) and I figure it's definitely worth the $1.99 to check this out! #ebookdeals #bookaddict #ihaveaproblem #cantstopbuying #pleasesendhelp #actuallymaybedont #sorrynotsorry

vivastory I picked this up too. Hard to say no to Kindle deal 7y

erzascarletbookgasm I liked The Kind Worth Killing. Is Her Every Fear as good? Am curious about this too as I've read mixed reviews. 7y

swishandflick @erzascarletbookgasm I enjoyed it! Though not quite as much as The Kind Worth Killing, the twists didn't have as much oomph. But a quick, entertaining read nonetheless, I thought 😄 7y
