#RIP
blurb
Fortifiedbybooks
post image

Here are my #CastTheDie books! They're all #RIP worthy ebooks I've had on my TBR for far too long, and they're also on my #BookSpin list. I started Beyond the Count today, but only read the introduction (I was on my lunch break). I'm hoping to get to all three of them before Halloween.

Mehso-so

My #BookSpin for September is a short Middle-Grade Horror/Mystery. It was only OK, but a decent and easy audiobook to start off #RIP and all things Fall.

#RIP begins in September and #SciFiSummer doesn't end until the 20th. I'm also moving towards the end of the month, so this month's #BookSpin list is a mix of Horror and Science Fiction ebooks from my TBR and library books I have checked out.

TheAromaofBooks Thank you for guiding us through this one!! This is my second George Eliot book and I am here to say that it will also be my last 😂 What even was the point of this. 5mo
dabbe The ending infuriated me. All the pages ... on and on ... such descriptions ... blah blah blah ... then BAM! Dead in one chapter. The end. #wtf? 😳 And what kind of marriage will Lucy and Stephen have. I'd always think that his true love was Maggie. What kind of marriage can come from that? At least MIDDLEMARCH had a happy ending! 5mo
mcctrish @dabbe I am so mad!!! Maggie is smarter than her father, smarter than her brother, Philip is her intellectual match but he‘s a cripple so that‘s a no, Stephen is a lightweight and her cousin‘s choice so that‘s a no, let‘s kill her off cuz that‘s the fitting thing to do #knowyourplacegirls ENRAGED I am 5mo
KAO Stunned! It actually crossed my mind that the author was tired of this story or didn‘t know how to end it—so, ta daa! A dangerous flood occurs to shut it all down with fatal consequences! The End. Argh! Ah well, thanks for leading us through this one, @BarkingMadRead! 5mo
Ruthiella Thank you @BarkingMadRead for once again leading us through the breach! I likely would have not read this otherwise. I‘m glad to have it under my belt, even though it was a frustrating read at times. 5mo
eeclayton Joining the #wtf club. It was interesting to realize that out of the 3 times we saw Maggie in a boat, the only time she was safe was when she was threatened by the flood, floating with no male companion in the vessel. But the I still don't understand why the siblings had to be killed off like this.
Thanks @barkingmadread for leading us through another difficult read that I would probably have given up on without our lovely group 💕

dabbe All hail @BarkingMadRead, the hostess with the mostest! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Thanks for leading us yet again through a challenging read with an unbelievable #wtf ending. On to Ms. Gaskell! Love this #hashtagbrigade! 😍 5mo
Clare-Dragonfly Bleh! All the flooding and drowning was definitely foreshadowed effectively… but bleh! Thanks for leading us @TheAromaofBooks 😘 5mo
AllDebooks Wow, what a cop out of an ending. Thank you @BarkingMadRead for keeping us sane and amused through yet another chunker 😊 5mo
Leftcoastzen Thank you @BarkingMadRead all that for that ending ?😡🤬 5mo
BarkingMadRead @Leftcoastzen @AllDebooks @dabbe that ending was garbage 🙄 5mo
julieclair @AllDebooks I agree 💯. So disappointing after aaaalllllll those pages. @BarkingMadRead You are the best leader ever! 5mo
BarkingMadRead @julieclair thank you!! 5mo
kwmg40 I feel the same way as everyone else about that ending. Thank you @BarkingMadRead for hosting! I'm sorry I didn't contribute much to the discussion but I did enjoy following along with the #hashtagbrigade. 4mo

In memory of @sharread I will be listening to the tagged book. She had the first one of the Murderbot series on her TBR. I think she would have liked it.

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly I‘m so relieved 😰 10mo
mcctrish Well that was action packed @Clare-Dragonfly they also don‘t read or finish thoughts or ever let us know what‘s going on! Emily is haunted by papers she burned and didn‘t read except for a few words which she won‘t recount to us 😡 10mo
Bookwormjillk This book is almost over and I feel like we‘re still in the introduction. 10mo
eeclayton @mcctrish I also really want to know what she saw behind that veil in the castle of Udolpho 😡 10mo
mcctrish @eeclayton is this the mystery of udolpho? Unfinished thoughts? Things not described? Conversations not had? Things we missed cuz we fainted ? it‘s certainly not tears not shed #rivershavebeencried #lakeshavebeenfilled 10mo
dabbe Your picture says EVERYTHING about this book that I simply could not finish. Absolute kudos to all of you who could! You are my inspiration! 💙❄️💙 10mo
AllDebooks @mcctrish 😅🤣🤣 I actually feel cheated. This is supposed to be one of the most iconic, ground-breaking gothic novels and it's pure melodrama eeked out forrrrreeeevvvvvvver #teenagevoiceandeyeroll 👀🙄 Where all the ghosts and mysteries at? 10mo
AllDebooks If you use the analogy of a walk in the park for the twists and turns of actual plot alongside all the flimflam melodrama that padded it out, we actually just walked every bloody peak in the Pyrenees. 10mo
mcctrish @AllDebooks yay I got my steps in this week/month 10mo

This weekend is the start of my major reading season, and my and the boyfriend's anniversary (11 years and we haven't killed each other...yet)! #SciFiSummer is going strong until the Autumnal Equinox, but #RIP starts on the 1st, which is also #BackToHogwarts day. I also signed up for the #WhatTheDickens #BuddyRead of David Copperfield. My goal is simple: read when I can and as much as I can #ForTheLoveofBooks #readathon hosted by @TheSpineView

TheSpineView Great goal! Good luck!💜📖 14mo

September for me means a combination of #SummerSciFi and #RIP, so I tried to reflect that in my #BookSpin list for the month.

Here is my #BookSpin list for August. Since I'm already nearing the Time Lord level of my #SciFiSummer reading challenge, this list is a mix of SciFi, music, and other books I've been wanting to read before #RIP begins in September.

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1y
