Bailedbailed

This was my first #readyourkindle book and unfortunately I had to bail 5% in. Not an auspicious start. 😆 I think the author was trying to create a sympathetic main character, but she only succeeded in annoying me. She lost her parents and went to live with an aunt and uncle she barely knew. She immediately despises her aunt (and yes, she‘s not a peach), starts making eyes at a footman and bribes her maid for gossip. I‘m just not interested.

TheAromaofBooks I've been trying to read one number from the #readyourkindle challenge each month, and so far I'm 4/4 bails 😂 at least I'm getting them checked off!! 2w
robinb @TheAromaofBooks That‘s what I‘m going with too! 5% is a bit soon, but when you know you know. 😂😂🤷🏻‍♀️ And TBH, my other three picks don‘t sound all that promising…what was I thinking?? #impulsebuy 2w

robinb @TheAromaofBooks They lure me in every. single. time. 😩 2w
CBee Hey friend - keeping you in my thoughts with this weather - please let me know you‘re okay ♥️♥️ @robinb 2w
robinb @CBee Sorry I‘m just now seeing this, Cydney. We‘ve had tornadoes very close to us but no direct damage to us (some in town though I think). Expecting Round 2 around 3 am. Probably not much sleep tonight. I think maybe things have stayed north of you tonight? But looks like you might get some after us in the next round. Stay safe and thank you so much for asking! 😘 2w
CBee @robinb glad all is well! It didn‘t come our way thank goodness 😅 2w
robinb @CBee Glad you were spared! Our last round was 4:30 am and fortunately not as bad. Trees down in our neighborhood and no power since 10 pm but am thankful to be writing this. 🙏 2w
CBee @robinb yes! Just had a big storm come through here but it‘s dissipating now. Might get more later but it isn‘t supposed to be severe 🤞🏻🤞🏻 2w
robinb @CBee We were without power for 18 hours. There were places here hit harder than we were so I‘m glad they worked on theirs first. Utility workers are unsung heroes. 🩵 2w
CBee @robinb wow! Yep, definitely unsung heroes - I never get irritated with them if it‘s taking longer - I know they‘re trying their best ♥️ 2w

My before bed start for tonight. New series (& possibly the author as well, not sure tbh) to me & totally out of sequence. Another #ImpulseBuy sans GR referencing beforehand🤦🏻‍♀️ This is #10 & will yay or nay whether I hunt the series down to start from the beginning, or not.

TheSpineView Enjoy 9mo

DieAReader @Monica5 I will for sure! If it helps, I Did a deep dive through my ‘Read‘ GR folder & although it‘s not marked, I believe I read & enjoyed #2. Likely one of the reasons this one was bought (name familiarity usually. = 🤗💸📚)🤣🤷🏻‍♀️. Authors I like stick in my head and often add to #MountTBR like that lol.🤫🤓 9mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 9mo

Let‘s see if this is the week I FINALLY listen 🎧 to Troublemaker 😈 and Symphony 🎻I‘ve already started to listen to Everything‘s Fine and I‘m hooked. It‘s gotten a strong backlash on GoodReads but I feel like I‘m missing something 🤷🏼‍♀️ Quitter‘s is an #ARC so I probably should prioritize 😜 Happy Father‘s Day to all who fit the bill ♥️

BarbaraBB The Eden Test! Very curious about it. 11mo
Cinfhen Same @BarbaraBB it was a TOTAL #ImpulseBuy 11mo

Bk8 of #JumpStart2023 & Bk4 of #JoyousJanuary #readathon is done. This was brilliant! Had no clue what it was about, saw it on Waterstones cheap & loved the cover so I preordered it. Glad I did. It‘s a YA(sort of)thriller/horror about a group that meet online & decide to meet irl to play a “game”. Trust me, it‘s really good. #BookspinBingo #Booked2023 #WeirderThanExpected #WickedWords #ISpyBingo #Pantone2023 #BeetrootPurple #NoBuyBingo #ImpulseBuy

Clwojick I love the cover too! 🕯🧨 1y
Reggie @Cinfhen it‘s weird for all the Ya I have ever read none of it is horror. Lol, weird right? Maybe I‘ll look this up. 1y
Cinfhen Yeah, YA horror isn‘t too typical @Reggie I‘ll be curious to hear what you think 1y

So…..
I went to Walmart to pick up a prescription and I came home with these.
I cracked and jumped on the Taylor Jenkins Reid bandwagon.
And I 😍 cheesecake.

First I‘m not sure how to describe this book. It‘s a story within a story within a story. Got it? Yeah neither did I until I started to read it. I have to say all the storylines held my attention but it was difficult to read at times. Read the notes on the book page. Or read the page and then the notes. Yeah I switched back and forth. J.J. Abrams wrote it…so…it‘s going to be different. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #springread #impulsebuy

lumbricuslibri I've had this since 2014 but still haven't read it. I find it daunting, don't know how to start. 2y
KristiAhlers @lumbricuslibri I finally settled on reading the “story” and then reading the side notes. As a lot of those address the “story”. But it took me a chapter or so to settle on a routine of that. 2y
