Page 2... I Made it all the way up to page 2 before shedding a tear.

So far I‘ve read about one chapter but this book has got me hooked. In a constant state of awe and sadness. The Classical music in the background makes it even more emotional.

A book like this should be mandatory, would definitely recommend it 📚❤️

Who knew...! I share a common passion with the amazing Stephen Fry 😍
This book about greek mythology blows my mind! It‘s funny, impressive.. so well written!

As a bonus, i‘m listening to the audiobook as well (read by the author)
I‘ve died and are now resting in the Elysian fields 😉😉❤️❤️📘📘🌹🌹

Lucky for me, the audio/e-book service Storytel also had this book by Jeff Guinn. Although some patterns are similar to Manson‘s, mostly a very different approach. The whole socialism thing worked so well for Jones. If only it stayed that way.. power and adoration can be so venomous..

Pick Pick Pick! So fascinating to read about Manson‘s life and how/why things turned out the way they did..

The part about Sharon Tate was truely heartbreaking 😓

Just started this audiobook on Storytel ❤️
Dan Stevens‘ voice is so soothing ☺️

My local bookstore (Apeldoorn, the Netherlands), used to be a bank 😍😍😍 so beautiful ❤️

Birthday gift 😍 YES!

This book is so funny 😆 i‘m stil sore from laughing at the clips, need to watch the full movie sometime..

The way Greg discribes the filming process is hilarious!

So happy with this.. Storytel has the complete series on audiobook 😍 read by the amazing Stephen Fry

Gotta love this ❤️

Imagine someone cutting in line at the supermarket.. and you‘re standing there shouting: “I‘ll swash your swizzle!” 😆 the world would be a better place 🧐😆

Bought this book a few days back, I‘ve always wanted to write down my life‘s story...So much to tell ☺️

my huge (mixed raced) family alone gives me enough to fill 5 books 😆 Add to the mix some health issues, depressions, lots of love and an enormous bag of laughs..

Hmmm.. Maybe stick to reading for now 😆
P.s. Added blue subtitles for my English speaking Littens

Using my copy of “The Darkroom of Damocles” to stop the reflections of light (from the building across my house) from ruining my afternoon nap.. the irony is not lost on me 😆

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Bought this a while back, but vowed to shelf it until I finishes something else... bad girl 🙈🙈 can‘t help myself ☺️ it‘s SK! 📚❤️

Yeah!!!!! So excited! Can‘t wait to DM this 😍 we‘re almost done playing “The Lost Mines of Phandelver”, so I better start reading this now 😍

omg be stil my gothic loving heart ❤️📚

Ended up buying a book too 😍❤️ I love it when stores wrap their books like this ☺️📚❤️

A perfect moment ☺️ waiting on my love to finish his meeting..

A booklover always finds a sanctuary ❤️📚

So very tempting Pennywise... so tempting ? but nah.. I'll just wait it out thanks ?

Anyone else bummed out about the "new Rick & Morty episodes" wait? Especially after that tease.. 1 episode.. anyway.. in the meantime I'll buy a copy of IT to reread I guess ?

Thank you sweet sweet mr. Postman! ????

(My dad: "Well, don't you have enough books yet?" Me: *chuckles awkwardly* (but on the inside: dying)

I loved every second of this book! Apt pupil blew my mind! Read it, everyone, seriously, read this! ❤️

Booklover problems: moving to another city, 5 boxes already filled with books (half of the box or they'll get too heavy😳😓) and still not nearly enough! In comparison.. my clothes and shoes will probably fit in 2 boxes 😆

That's what you get for moving on 😆 but I'm ecxited to start over ❤️

Am loving this tracking app, Bookout ?
This is a chart from last week, this week I'm reading "Judas", by the sister of the notorious criminal Willem Holleeder, one of the men responsible for kidnapping mr. Heineken.. I've read a lot of gruesome fiction, but knowing this is real makes my blood boil..

Hi Littens! I've missed you guys! I'm baaaaaack finally, after three months of fresh air, hiking, intensive training and a minimal amount of reading (😓) Switzerland was awesome, but I'm glad to be back home (back with my books 😍📚) by the way, bought these beauties @ Schiphol airport Amsterdam 😍😍

How are you all? What did I miss!? Omg so much I'm sure..

❤️

Even if I'm far away, I always bring my friend SK 😁

Yes super corny, but it works for me 😉 less homesick when reading a gem like this 😍

#switzerland

Putting this sign on my door, so the nurses know to knock first 😅 please knock.. I'm reading! ❤️📚

I'm a shameless serial reader (at the moment 3 at a time), but this one lightens my mood everytime! Thanks to @Noonnie ❤️

It's my birthday! In lovely Switzerland ❤️ my co-patients made my day a happy one! They decorated the entire hallway, my door and my place at the table 😍😍😍

"A day without learning, is a day not lived" is my life motto! Even when recoupering here in the mountains! But.. maybe I should put English aside for a while and refreshen my German ??

This story however, is perfect for #scaretober !

Making this space my own ❤️ feels good to have a piece of home with me ❤️📚

#Switzerland #Davos #scaretober

I'm sorry I've been so absent for #scaretober these last few days! But it's been so hectic, packing and organizing, but I'm finally here! Beautiful Switzerland ❤️ what a view ? should have bought a copy of "The Shining" ?? would have been appropriate for #scaretober in the mountains ?

Had to say goodbye to my bookbestie @Noonnie yesterday! We'll be bookshopping again next year, hope time flies! She bought me these amazing parting gifts! #litsyconfessions yes I'm a Rarity fan and apparently (according to some test) belong to Slytherin.. Read: Evil bitch 😝😝

Counting down.. just two more nights at home.. getting very anxious now 😓😄😱😍

Good news for me! My first selection of books to bring to Switzerland weighs only 6 kilograms 😍 after I'm done packing I'll probably stuff in more wherever I can! (If needed leave many unnecessary things, likes shoes and whatever behind! 😝😝) Shampoo and stuff I'll just buy there

My family and friends (except @Noonnie who helped me pick a selection) think I'm crazy! Some even told me to get a Kindle.. not my thing though..

166 years ago, Edgar Allan Poe left this earth. Yet his stories are loved still. This is one of my most precious items ever ❤️ perfect for #scaretober ! Thank you Mr. Poe for your precious gift to the world ❤️

Watching "Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children" starts off my changing Olive into Emma and vice versa. Not necessarily a bad thing I guess.. can't wait to see the rest of this!

Welcome all Littens brave enough, to #Scaretober!

Hope you will all enjoy this month, and get plenty of goosebumps! Did you know dead people can get goosebumps too? But only when a demon is near one of their loved ones.. 👹 no just kidding, it can appear like they have goosebumps, because the hair follicles contract. That's also why it can appear like their hair has grown..

Happy readings everyone 👻 and sweet dreams...

Less than 15 hours 'till #Scaretober! (CET) So excited to get started! For all of you lovely Littens joining me, please comment which book you will read to start of #Scaretober with a big bang!

When posting #Scaretober blurbs, can you please tag me 😍😄👍🏼 can't wait to see all those creepy tales 😍😍 however I must ask, to not post very scary pictures.. I needs to be fun for all of us 😉❤️

Good luck preparing ❤️💪🏼 don't forget to tag me 😘

My bf's grandmother lend me this book, and it's breaking my heart ? The things this young girl has seen, how much can a human endure? Can we imagine? Giving up our phones, houses, family and friends, our books? And what for? For a religion or race? Before I go to sleep everyday, I try to be grateful for all our blessings, we all nag a lot "his whatever is better than mine" etc. We are so blessed my lovely Littens ❤️

Because luckily for me.. Arnhem loves English books too! ❤️📚 yesterday with twinnie 👯 @Noonnie !

Went shopping in Arnhem today with my book bestie @Noonnie ! Stopped by this great bookstore with new and secondhand books, this is my haul 😱😍 so happy! And plenty of material for #Scaretober ! Also this adorable bookbag to set the mood 😍😍😍😍

Shopping in Arnhem with @Noonnie ! Preparing for Switzerland 😄 and look what we found! Next stop, bookstore 😍😍😍😍

A few minutes ago, I received the phone call I've been waiting for for months! My health insurance gave me the green light to go to Switzerland! I will be staying for three months, so I'll have to check in an additional suitcase ? they can't expect me to "just take three books"! Maybe I should buy some snow related horrors.. getting in the mood for #Scaretober !

I nearly died when I read this intro to "Blockade Billy" ????? To be able to say that about yourself, is proof of true greatness! Should be a genre in itself, imagine walking in a library or bookstore: "drama, sciencefiction, YA, thriller, detective, Stephen King, non-fiction, true crime" ??

And I'll take that blade on any day of the week SK ?

Counting down 'till #Scaretober ! ❤️👻👹☠️👽

There are so many great quotes, I couldn't choose! Was especially looking at Poe, but decided to go with what I feel right now. And right now, I need to have faith. I need to see that there's always a silver lining. So I chose this gem ? "Whatever causes night in our souls, may leave stars" ❤️

Remember that my sweet Litsy family?

#somethingforsept #greatquote

Universe willing.. this will be my view in two weeks! If my health insurance doesn't give me crap, I'll be staying in Switserland for three months! I chose this picture for #somethingforsept #outdoorreading because it's so stunning and I'm getting mentally prepared to be away from home.. thank goodness I've got my Litsy family, one thumb away 😉

I'm so pleased that many of you Littens like my idea of #Scaretober ! Before I went to bed, this happened! A sign? A sign so big they added an extra 6? 😝😝 beware all, #Scaretober is coming... 😉

I really like the initiatives that littens come up with, so I decided to coin one of my own! How 'bout we make October all about scary stories? #scaretober !

Really anxious to hear what you all think of this! 😱❤️📚😄💪🏼

So.. I started to learn Spanish on Duolingo..
I'm not afraid of spiders but.. ???? made me go: "ay ay ay, dios mio!" (Is that correct?)

My bookcase is filled with scary stories, simply because I live for them ? but for today's #somethingforsept #scarybooks I would like to single out "Revival" by Stephen King. Only those #littens who've read this book from cover to cover will know why.. it's all in the ending baby! All of you scary book lovers who haven't read it yet, please do ?❤️ and let me know what you thought of it! ?❤️

Sweet dreams.. *beep beep*

Something a little bit different for today's #septphotochallenge #blameitonlitsy although my Litsy family has introduced me to so many great books, my biggest revelation was audiobooks! They made me so happy when I couldn't read for a while (vertigo, headaches) So thank you @Litsy for making this app and thank you lovely #littens for being awesome and supportive ❤️❤️📚🍀🍀🎉
