The Trial of Lizzie Borden | Cara Robertson

so-so

I am not one for legal books, fiction or non-fiction, but I joined in on the #SundsyBuddyRead. This is very thorough, giving us some background about the Borden family and the aftermath of those vicious murders. We move to details of the court case, with day by day descriptions of the case and includes black & white photos of the crime scenes, and closes with the verdict and a brief aftermath. This is DENSE. Well researched, but lots of names ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick start to blend together. I'm glad I read it, but wish we knew what really happened that day. 4y

Lisey's Story: A Novel | Stephen Book

pan

Mare Winningham's audio narration was FANTASTIC but I'm glad this smucking book is over! Listening to Lisey's Story for 19 hours on CD over the last two weeks means I had a lot of time to think about this. It was too long. Parts of this book felt unimportant to the ultimate story and others were repetitive to the point where I was hoping for some clown to emerge from the sewer in an unexpected crossover to take out every last one of them. ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Lisey is boring. Her sisters are boring. Zero scares, and the most thrilling part was a scene with a can opener! And worst of all, there were so many words and phrases that are like inside jokes/family phrases that are supposed to take you into their specific story but really just grated my nerves into a parmesan-like substance. Among the grating are smucking (in lieu of it's rhyming F word), bool (still couldn't 100% explain WTF it is), ⬇️ 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick parents referred to as Goodma & Dandy, and most annoying, is this famous writer can't call the blanket an afghan, but an African. The only vaguely supernatural thing about this is the place Lisey's husband has taken her at times, a bit like The Upside-Down of you're a Stranger Things fan, called Booya Moon. I'm just not sentimental enough for this sort of self-indulgent story. At least there are beaucoup team points for this one. ⬇️ 4y

HOOOOOOLY SMOKES! 😱😅🤓 It honestly took me two hours and 40% of my phone battery to calculate my points for the TWENTY-TWO different readathons that I was juggling in week 1 of #Scarathlon. But I‘d say my time and battery was well worth it, since I brought in a total of 10,533 points to #TeamSlaughter.

And, yes, I am laughter at my past self... thinking that the Readathon points would simplify things. Man oh man... how I love a good challenge.

StayCurious

Yuki_Onna 10533 points? 22 readathons? Holy crap! Are you superhuman? 👏 4y

Clwojick @Yuki_Onna I‘m a bit of a tryhard when it‘s comes to readathons. 😂😅 I get way too much joy out of weirdly nerdy challenges. 4y

Velvetfur What....what did I just read....?!?! 😱 4y

See All 40 Comments

Yuki_Onna I love nerdy challenges, too, but I could never achieve THIS, no matter how hard I tried!!! 😖 😂 You rock (in case you didn't know yet... 😋) 🤘 4y

Bookwormjillk @Clwojick I‘m a dummy who forgot to bring my tally sheets when I left to go camping this weekend. Can I give them to you Monday night or give you two weeks next week? 4y

Clwojick @Bookwormjillk No worries. Whenever you can get it to me is fine 4y

Clwojick @Yuki_Onna Thanks @Velvetfur 😋🤓😏😉 (edited) 4y

Lizpixie I‘ve added my points and it comes to 7,810🎉🎉🎉 4y

Clwojick @Lizpixie Way to go!!!! I‘m sure it would‘ve taken you a while to calculate as well 😅 4y

Moony @Clwojick Oh I have to send you my pounts two, but here in germany it's sunday 13 pm so I though I'll send you my time, when I go to bed. Should I send you my points until the 10 october? 4y

Clwojick @Moony yes please. Include the points up until the 10th. 4y

alisiakae I am LOVING all the #scarathlon posts, but this right here reinforces why I am observing this year instead of participating 😜🤣 More power to you! 👻 4y

Yuki_Onna @Clwojick My humble figures for the last week for #Team Slaughter #Scarathlon2020: 750 points total
(ridiculous, I feel... And I was so proud of myself before reading your post today... 😋) ⬇
4y

Yuki_Onna @Clwojick (continued) Thats: 80 p. for #TeamSlaughter (buddyread The Good Daughter Completed + 2 theme books)
90 p. (9h) for #October8in2 @lindsays_books
230 p. each (=23h each) for #Screamathon @4thhouseontheleft and #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
50 p. (5h) for #October20in4 @bookgoil
+ 5p. for 5 theme posts+ 25p. for TBR post + 40 p. for eight creepy TV films/episodes watched = 750 total 😎 (edited) 4y

Clwojick @4thhouseontheleft some people are smarter than me... just casually reading. I however, went HAMM. 😂 (edited) 4y

Clwojick @Yuki_Onna You should be proud of yourself! You‘re killing it!!!! 🎉🔥 That‘s 750 points towards CRUSHING #TeamHarkness! We can do this!!!! Go #TeamSlaughter 💪🏻👏🏻🤓🖤😜🎉 4y

alisiakae @Clwojick not smarter, just more time restricted! 😬😆 4y

Clwojick @4thhouseontheleft that is definitely true! I‘m super grateful that I‘m able to listen to my audiobooks at work. 🖤 4y

Sleepswithbooks Holy Goblin Breath @Clwojick !!!!! Leading by example Point Master!! So we give you points up to midnight Saturday night and start a new count Sunday‘s at midnight 0001am? 4y

Clwojick @Stacypatrice Exactly! Whenever you have a chance today. 😋 Then once everyone‘s points are in we will reveal the #TeamSlaughter vs #TeamHarkness week 1 totals (edited) 4y

Charityann Yay #teamslaughter 🎃😁🎉 4y

Sleepswithbooks @Clwojick - First week is a total of 1,105 points. Work gets in the way of my fun. I‘m going to read my heart out today to start the new week of points out 😃 4y

Clwojick @Stacypatrice way to go! #TeamSlaughter for the win! 😋🔪🎃🤓 4y

kezzlou85 @Clwojick oh wow thats insane go you. My score for the first week is only 611 seems like hardly anything compared to yours. You are crushing this. 🎃🔪 4y

Clwojick Thanks @kezzlou85 You did amazing! 🎃🖤🔥 4y

kezzlou85 @Clwojick aww thank you. I love playing along with this 4y

Bookgoil Haha I thought I joined a lot but I said I wouldn‘t overdo it with work and taking a course so wow go you! I am upping my game starting this weekend and moving on and not sure how I‘ll keep up 😂 (edited) 4y

Graciouswarriorprincess Wow! You are amazing! 4y

veritysalter Wow! 🖤☠️🖤 send some of your energy my way. Your doing fab team captain 🖤 4y

Andrew65 Do we do a separate post for our points or put them on here? Also are there Readathon points for taking part in #Scarathlon2020 or #Screamathon and is there a difference I‘ve missed between #Screamathon or #Scarathlon? I‘ve had to set up a Google sheets spreadsheet to calculate my points but only part way through it. Without the month long readathons currently up to 2002 points but a lot still missing. My big point scoring will be in the last week (edited) 4y

Andrew65 👆 on holiday. Thanks @Clwojick and by the way you are a legend! 👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌😱😱😱🥰🥰🥰🥰🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾❤️ 4y

Andrew65 @Lizpixie You and @Clwojick are legends. If I was the manager or coach you‘d be the first on the teamsheets! 👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳❤️ 4y

Andrew65 @Yuki_Onna Yes she is! 🤣 4y

Clwojick @Andrew65 There are hourly points for #screamathon which is hosted by @4thhouseontheleft for the whole month. This was a huge point grabber for me since there‘s no set prompts, just read any thing you think is spooky or in the season and tag her in it! 😉 and you can post your points on here or make your own post for another participation point. Whatever you want. 4y

Andrew65 @Clwojick Thanks, got my head confused on that one. As away from home tonight will post points I have collated so far but some readathons I‘ll carry them over to next week‘s total. (edited) 4y

Clwojick @Bookgoil I‘m hoping to increase my reading for the next two weeks since my husband will be out of town, so hopefully I‘ll be able to keep up with the readathons too 🎉🤓 4y

Clwojick @Graciouswarriorprincess @veritysalter thanks! ♥️👻🖤 4y

Clwojick @Andrew65 sounds good! 4y

BarkingMadRead Holy heck! I had 965 lol 4y

Clwojick @BarkingMadRun awesome! Way to go! 4y

I‘m late in posting this — there was a cider incident with the #bujo 😱 — but here are my tallies for #cyoreadathon and #october8in2! Not nearly as many hours as I meant to read, but I had fun starting the spooky reads with my kids!

So here are my first points for #scarathlon2020: +61 for this post. I‘m tallying the books separately so I can keep it all straight.

Thanks to all you fabulous hosts! I love October readathons. #teamslaughter 🎃👻🖤

Clwojick, Sace

Clwojick Yay! Way to go! 4y
