The Comics of Charles Schulz: The Good Grief of Modern Life | Jared Gardner, Ian Gordon

Got to check out the Charles Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa with my sweet sister @Ireadkidlit her kids and my son and had a ball! Highly recommend if you are ever in the area!

Ruthiella Do you know this museum @dabbe ? 10mo

dabbe @Ruthiella Oh, yes, I do! I've never been there though but hope to someday! Was it as incredible as I hope it is? 🤩🤩🤩 10mo

Thanks for the tags, @TheSpineView and @Eggs! 🤗

1. I have three horrendous shelves. They are rundown and not pretty. I would love to have bright white ones from floor to ceiling. #someday
2. Whenever I “clean“ the shelves, I put them in groupings by genre. That lasts about 1 month and then they're all messed up all over again.
Notice no pictures! 🤣😀🤗

TheSpineView You're welcome and thanks for playing!🌞📚📚 2y

Eggs ❤️❤️❤️ 2y

Bklover Sounds like my shelves. I did dedicate one whole bookcase to my Stephen King books, but otherwise it‘s just look til you find it. I‘ve decided that can be fun though, as then I see books I forgot I have!💛 2y

dabbe @Bklover Too true! I can count on more than one hand the times I have purchased a book only to find that I already had it! Yikes! 🤣🤩😍 2y

Trust Exercise: A Novel | Susan Choi

so-so

Meh. After DNFing this book (twice) I was told that it was in two parts and to give it 10 pages past the break. Well, it was intriguing enough to finish, but that‘s about it. #Tob20 #ToB

Hooked_on_books I found it pointless. I‘ll never understand why it won the NBA. 5y

Cinfhen It‘s on my physical TBR #Someday 5y

cariashley I was impressed by the writing voodoo but can‘t say I loved the story overall - something felt lacking. I‘m also surprised it won. 5y

All the Light We Cannot See: A Novel | Anthony Doerr

Just a tad behind the rest of the world on this one... #nowreading

Insightsintobooks It's okay, I still have to read it too. I'm hoping the kindle version goes on sale soon. 6y

Reviewsbylola I‘m even further behind. I own it so I assume I‘ll read it some day. 😂 6y

Commencement | J Courtney Sullivan

pick

I loved most of this book with the exception of the April storyline and its ending. That almost ruined it for me. The rest was a wonderful depiction of college friendship and life as a 20-something. I graduated college a year before the women in this book so the time they were living in felt very familiar and relatable. Plus my sister-in-law is a Smithie so I was familiar with the campus and the traditions. #booked2018 #friendship

Cinfhen Nice photo and great review 💚I‘m putting this book on my #someday pile 7y

Call Me by Your Name: A Novel | Andr� Aciman

pick

I was not prepared for such sensuous writing! WOW 🤩Aciman so beautifully describes how it feels to be completely mesmerized by another individual ~ to physically ache and hunger for a shared touch or passing glance. I found parts of the story repetitive and the plot is very thin but the lush, stark writing wins you over. It‘s a pick but I didn‘t love this book like so many others. #Later 😉

Christy2318, Blaire, CarolynM, emilyhaldi, TrishB, BarbaraBB

TrishB I won‘t say I just thought it was boring then! I‘m the least romantic person in the world though..... 7y

emilyhaldi Glad you liked it!! I am excited to give it a whirl... sounds like something I will like ☺️ 7y

Redwritinghood @TrishB You may have competition in me. I couldn‘t finish this one, was also bored. (edited) 7y

Christy2318 It was repetitive in some parts & I can totally see why some people didn‘t like it. What I loved about it was what you said about how it captured the feeling of being mesmerized by another person - the intensity & depth of that 1st infatuation & love & how strong those feelings still were 25 years later. 7y

saresmoore @emilyhaldi I do think you will like this one. In my unpopular opinion, Enigma Variations was better, though. 😏 7y

TrishB @Redwritinghood 😁👍🏻 7y

Reggie How funny, I totally would have bet on @TrishB liking it and @Cinfhen very much not liking it. Lol, just goes to show, you never really know. 7y

emilyhaldi Oh good! @saresmoore I have Enigma in my tbr stacks currently 😉 7y

TrishB @Reggie the fun of books 😁👍🏻 7y

Cinfhen Who saw the film? I‘m guessing not you @trishb !?? How about you @Reggie ? @Christy2318 @saresmoore ? How does this book compare to

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

TrishB I loved Simon!! 💕Not seen film but son has and loved it! 7y

saresmoore I didn‘t see the film, but have heard good things. 7y

Reggie I haven‘t seen the movies but read both books and loved them both. I refuse to see Call Me By Your Name cause I was devastated by the book. 7y

CarolynM I agree it was all about the writing. I had a problem with the Oliver character which made it less of an emotional experience for me. The film was all about the scenery and Timothee Chalamet, same problem. Comparing this with Simon is apples and oranges. It's pointless. This is serious and elegiac, Simon is light and fun (although it does have a serious message) and all about right now. (edited) 7y

Christy2318 I really liked the movie too! I can‘t comment on Simon. 7y

Cinfhen Thanks guys, I guess I wanted to know if Simon was overly wrought and sort of that angsty YA teenage mellow drama @TrishB @CarolynM @Reggie !?! But since you all loved it, I‘m putting it on my #someday list 💋 7y

britt_brooke @Cinfhen It should come as no surprise that I hated this one. 🙅🏼‍♀️🍑 @emilyhaldi Will be curious to see what you think. 7y

britt_brooke I did love Simon, though! ❤️ 7y

emilyhaldi Lol @britt_brooke some things are more predictable than others apparently! 7y

britt_brooke @emilyhaldi 😆 7y
