If you liked We Are Called to Rise as much as I did, then you might also buy this like I did!

I'm listening to this on audio now. Tim Curry does an AMAZING job narrating. The first audiobook I'm actually enjoying. Also my first time reading this story although I've seen countless movie adaptations of it.

BarbaraTheBibliophage Swoon! I love his voice. 😀 8y
GlitteryOtters I LOVE this edition! I have a long drive to & from my husband's family's Xmas get together on 12/24 & I am going to do my annual relisten during that drive. I am having a hard time waiting for it. I just want to listen *now*! 8y
underthebelljar @BarbaraTheBibliophage He does the different character voices so well! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage I am now thinking I'll have to snag this audio. #buyingunderthelitfluence 8y
underthebelljar @BarbaraTheBibliophage It was a good deal - I got it for $0.99 on audible by adding narration to the free kindle book. 8y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Done. That's the kind of deal I just can't pass up. Thanks! 😘 8y
underthebelljar @BarbaraTheBibliophage You're welcome! 😊 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @britt_brooke It's a bad / good habit, right? 😜 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @JPeterson @Handmade_Redhead Glad you picked it up! I recently read than any woman with education (who could read!) was considered a witch. That would be us, friends! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 8y

Belton Estate | Anthony Trollope

I am thinking of going to an estate sale this afternoon (mother of a former neighbor) because she said "lots of books $1 each" and I have $40 left won in a slot machine last week (yay found money!). What should I look for? Anyone else get books at estate sales?

BookishMarginalia No estate sales here in PR, but wishing you great book karma in this one! Keep us posted! 8y
minkyb I wish you luck and happy hunting. 8y

Carmilla | Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
post image
Pickpick

Before Dracula, there was Carmilla. Laura & her father witness a carriage crash outside their Austrian castle & agree to take in an injured young woman, Carmilla. Laura & Carmilla become fast friends, but Laura becomes rid with haunting nightmares & deteriorating health during Carmilla's stay. Carmilla is also increasingly secretive & moody. A dark, gothic lesbian tale of the vampire mythos, Le Fanu explores secrets, desire, & female agency. 🕯⚰️

BookishFeminist For my fellow Doctor Who fans out there, it's on audiobook in a full cast recording that includes David Tennant. 👀 You're welcome. 8y
SpecsyBeast I love the web series Carmilla! The novella is a good read too 8y

Trav I've been wanting to read this book for a while now after I watched a movie that was loosely based on Carmilla. 8y
Trav Glad you enjoyed it! 8y
Trav Wait. There's an audiobook with David Tennant? WHERE DO I FIND THIS PIECE OF MAGIC. 8y
BookishFeminist @SpecsyBeast I just heard about the web series & want to give it a try after enjoying this! 8y
BookishFeminist @Trav What movie?! This is such a good book. I think you'd like it a lot. Here's the audiobook with David Tennant: www.audible.com/pd/Fiction/Carmilla-Audiobook/B015RJL1Z6 😘😘 8y
Trav It was called Byzantium. The reviews weren't very favourable towards it by I didn't mind it. Oh great thanks for the link, I will go check it out. 8y
Laura317 @BookishFeminist Mmmmm. David Tennant. I was intrigued with the book description, but then you mentioned Tennant. Looking for this now! 8y
angrylilasian I was gonna get the book and then I saw "David Tennant" and now I have to get the audiobook too!! 8y

My Lady Jane | Jodi Meadows, Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand

Pickpick

One of the best books of the year is just $1.99 today! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015CYCHNQ On sale for Kindle and Nook.

It's a hysterically funny re-imagining of Lady Jane Grey's brief reign. It shouldn't work, but thanks to deft storytelling, witty dialogue, and clever subversion of history (and sexist norms), it does. The punny humor will have you in stitches!

PS, the physical book is also great; deckled edges + a fun detail on the spine.

MrBook Beautiful! 8y
BookishMarginalia That's a great buy! This is such a fun book! 8y

Laura317 I just bought two books today. So far. Nope. I bought three books apparently! 😂😂😂 8y
hollybally I adored this book too! I was so sure it wouldn't work for me but it did! I found myself snickering a lot as I read. Hilarious stuff. 8y
Chachic Thanks for the heads up, I'll grab a copy! 👍 8y
juliannebenford I have this on my TBR, must get to it soon! 8y
misswendyd @MrBook Thanks! 8y
misswendyd @juliannebenford You must! It's such s joy to read. 8y
misswendyd @hollybally Yesss I was giggling madly as I read it, too! Such a hard thing to pull off, but they did it. 8y
misswendyd @BookishMarginalia I'm so glad they put it on sale so more people will read it! I'm excited about the next two Jane books as well. 8y
misswendyd @Lucky_Ladee Heh. BUT YOU NEED THIS ONE. 8y
misswendyd @BarbaraTheBibliophage @chachic You're welcome! I rarely post twice about a book, but thought that was too good a deal not to share. (And I love it and want more people to love it, too. 😊) 8y
misswendyd @Laura317 Yay! I'm glad you sneaked this one in, too. It's so much fun. What else did you buy? 8y
Laura317 I bought A Man Called Ove and the 2nd illustrated Harry Potter. @misswendyd 8y
