theoctunnumi

Sitting outside for a short moment. It's not cold, but windy.

#GhostCat doesn't mind the wind, as long as she can sleep on me.

Book is #TheOctunnumi. I bought it months ago. It's not in the system. Doesn't have an ISBN either.
ETA: it has an ISBN 9781913234010

No green kindle this time, @jenniferw88. But I have rugs with green stripes. 😁😉

julesG #SuperSeptember #readathon @EadieB and @Andrew65 3y

EadieB @JulesG I looked this book up on Goodreads. It seems to be about a made up world and a reviewer said that the author took too much time making up the world but not enough time on the story. Sci-fi is not my genre. Good for you to give it a try! Great first day for readathon! 3y

julesG @EadieB I've read some of the 1 and 2 star reviews. I knew I'd be buying something that might be an optical illusion: nice cover and interior + no substance. At 10 pages in, I'm annoyed with the names and invented words. And I can't yet say whether it's sci-fi or fantasy. 3y

EadieB @JulesG Fantasy Is not my genre either. I love mystery/thriller. I hope you enjoy the rest of the book and if not dnf it and find one you will enjoy! No harm done! (edited) 3y

julesG @EadieB Mystery and Thriller - can you recommend one/a few where I won't know who did it or see the big twist coming from a mile away? 3y

EadieB @julesG Start with Ann Cleeves as she is very good at the craft of mystery and her books are hard to figure out.

Raven Black: Book One of the Shetland Island Quartet

julesG @EadieB Thanks!! 3y

EadieB @julesG You‘re welcome! 3y

Matisse on Art | Henri Matisse, Jack D. Flam

I finished #theoctunnumi (which I loved) and now this is my current read. I‘m currently taking an Art History course in my Graphic Design program, and this book was quoted several times in my textbook, so I just had to find it.

Leftcoastzen Love to see art books on Litsy! 3y

Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids: How to Stop Yelling and Start Connecting | Laura Markham

I‘m still currently reading #theoctunnumi but this is my next nonfiction read. It‘s been on my shelf for a while, and after the year we‘ve had I think we could all benefit from me reading it finally lol.

You can‘t tell from the photo, but it was thundering. We haven‘t had thunderstorms that much which is so unusual for FL this time of year. So it was refreshing to open my windows wide and enjoy it for a bit. Thunderstorms and #theoctunnumi

Pruzy Wow, the page decorations on that book are detailed! 4y

jen_the_scribe @Pruzy If you look at my other posts you can see the cover, it‘s absolutely the most gorgeous book I‘ve ever had my hands on. I was tempted to not read it because it‘s so beautiful, but was too intrigued not to. It demanded to be read. 4y

The Most Beautiful Book in the World: 8 Novellas | Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt

Has anyone here read Octunnumi? I can‘t find it in the search cache. I bought this simply because it was so striking and so intriguing. The aligned website is gorgeous and even the packaging was a treat. I haven‘t dared to read because I‘m afraid of marring its beauty!!

DrexEdit Wow! That is a nifty cover! 😍 4y

The_Literary_Jedi Legend says if you talk about it, gnomes will come to your house at night and steal all your left shoes. 😈 (and it IS a pretty book & website) 4y

Headinherbooks_27 Got this book too! It's so beautiful. 4y

Sweetkokoro They closed orders for this and I‘m so sad as I finally got the money for it. Hopefully it‘s everything it‘s cracked up to be. 4y

Palimpsest I saw this recently on an Instagram post and was initially intrigued by the name and typeface, but I couldn‘t even find out what it is about. 🤷‍♀️ I felt the Goodreads description was sort of vague. Still intrigued by whatever fantasy this is. 4y

Clare-Dragonfly Hmm… somebody I follow was reading this. Maybe @Branwen ? 4y

Books88 I have this book too! Have not gotten a chance to read it yet though. 4y

Branwen @Clare-Dragonfly @Readergrrl Yes! It was me! I'm about halfway through it and absolutely LOVE it! It's confusing, wacky, strange, beautiful, and utterly unlike anything I've ever read before! 😍📚💕 #theoctunnumi 4y

LibrarianRyan Did you unbox this on TikTok? I think I saw it. I am horrible at names and screen names so I probably didn't connect the two. 4y

Readergrrl @LibrarianRyan No, that wasn‘t me! But I sure would have loved to have seen someone else‘s reaction!! 4y

Suet624 So beautiful! 4y

Arrived quicker than expected. Bit frightened of ruining the packaging. Hope its not a case of style over substance.

After seeing a few people here on Litsy post about this one, I just had to get my hands on it! I'll probably read this one next after my current read, I'm too excited to put it at the bottom of my TBR pile.

Branwen HUZZAH! Isn't it so beautiful?! 😍 #theoctunnumi 4y

jen_the_scribe @Branwen It's gorgeous! So excited 😁 4y

Heideschrampf What is this?? Looks lovely, though at first i read ‘octomom‘^^ 4y

julesG @Heideschrampf It's the big secret. Might have bought the cat in the bag. 😁😁😁 The only info I have - because I haven't opened my book yet - is what was on the website https://www.the-octunnumi.com 4y

Cathythoughts Exciting stuff 🥳❤️ 4y

Karkar Yes a # for sure. I have not been able to start either. 4y

MrT @julesG Damn you! 🤣 there goes my book buying ban..again...for 2021. Just ordered the book based in this one post (4-6 weeks waiting/delivery time in UK) Reminds me very much like the immersive novels House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski and S. By J J Abrams. (edited) 4y

julesG @MrT #SorryNotSorry 😬 My Mine arrived in less than 4 weeks. But, I'm in Germany and it was sent off from Poland, not the UK. 4y

MrT @julesG we need a spoiler free review when you‘re done with being sorry not sorry 🤓 4y

julesG @MrT Well, yes, of course. 4y

Heideschrampf Well if that aint great marketing 😂 4y

julesG @Heideschrampf My thoughts precisely. 😂😂 4y

emz711 Have you started?! What's it like? 4y
