Selkies Are a Girl's Best Friend: A Mystic Bayou Novel Book 3 | Molly Harper

#MOvember #catchup
How do you #ExpressYourself ? I consider cooking my favorite form of expression. When I‘ve had a long, tiring week, a little #audiosouping time with a fun & funny book, then taking pictures of it looking pretty, eating the result of my labors & posting it on my blog are my relaxation & creative expression. This is the beginnings of Spinach, Coconut & Chickpea Fish Stew from a cookbook I‘m reviewing. Finished pics coming later.

Cinfhen 🎶You don't need diamond rings or eighteen karat gold
Fancy cars that go very fast, you know they never last no, no
What you need is a big strong hand
To lift you to your higher ground
Make you feel like a queen on a throne
Make him love you 'til you can't come down🎶 5y

writerlibrarian @Cinfhen How much do I love this month music 🎶 challenge.. this much 😍😍 5y

Cinfhen Hahahahah😘😘 5y

The Sisters: The Saga of the Mitford Family | Mary S. Lovell

David and Sydney Mitford raised their 6 daughters and one son with an emphasis on being unique and always appreciated their differences. And were they ever different! This account of their lives includes scandal, political intrigue, and a whole lot of sibling rivalry.

Money | Martin Amis

#expressyourself #MOvember
Apparently John Self expresses himself by making a movie about money, while "living money, talking money, and spending money on all the excesses 20th-century culture has to offer: drink, dope, sex, fast food, and love."
On my TBR shelf but from that description...sounds like a terrible novel! On the other hand, Amis hasn't let me down yet, and this is probably his most famous, so I can't not read it ?‍♂️
@Cinfhen

Leftcoastzen I haven‘t read that one either. He‘s excellent though. 5y

BarbaraBB I had a hard time finishing this one. 5y

batsy Read it for a uni class maaaany years ago and thoroughly enjoyed reading about a character I absolutely loathed, so I'm not sure what that says about me 😅 5y

Cinfhen Some books just aren‘t for me....this is probably one of them 😬 5y

Billypar @Leftcoastzen Yeah, he's a favorite of mine- it's been awhile since I read one of his though. 5y

Billypar @BarbaraBB @batsy @Cinfhen I was more attracted to this kind of narrative in college- @batsy like you mentioned, I hated the characters like Self, but I think I hoped they'd have a quiet epiphany by the end or something like that. 5y

Liz_M I loved this book! As an added incentive some of it takes place in the seedy NYC of yesteryear. 😁 5y

Billypar @Liz_M Good to hear! Seedy NYC is so interesting to see in old books and films - hard to believe the change in just a few decades. 5y

Gross Anatomy: A Field Guide to Loving Your Body, Warts and All | Mara Altman

DAY 8 #ExpressYourself | For this prompt, I had to go with some of the best memoirs I‘ve read this year. I love reading about other people‘s experiences. These folks put themselves out there, and for that, I‘m grateful.

britt_brooke @ljuliel Hmmm, that‘s tough. A few were 5 stars, but for totally different reasons: Gross Anatomy, Becoming, Life Will be the Death of Me, All Over but the Shoutin‘. 5y

Pride and Prejudice | Austen Jane

“Don't go for second best baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know, you've got to
Make him express how he feels
And maybe then you'll know your love is real
#ExpressYourself
You‘ve got to make him express himself”

And did Lizzie make Darcy work hard for her love!

#Movember @Cinfhen

Cinfhen Of course Madonna was channeling some JANE Austen 😜 5y
