Miss Benson's Beetle | Rachel Joyce

Pick

This was such a fun read! The audiobook was so entertaining! Two quirky ladies brought together by circumstance embark on a wild adventure across the world in search of a mysterious beetle that may or may not exist. Ridiculous chaos ensues wherever they go. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hello Litsy! It‘s been a long time! Here it is: paperback, HP, real books, borrow but I also love to buy!, read in bed, read alone, library because it‘s cheap but who doesn‘t love a bookstore💗, fiction is my weakness, always audio when it‘s available!!!, new books, old books all the books!!!

Magic Library: A Jacob's Ladder for Book Lovers | Chronicle Books Staff

Over the last 3 yrs I‘ve been recommending every audiobook I‘ve wanted to my library that they didn‘t own. Since the pandemic they decided to build up their collection. Because I must have been 1st to recommend most of them I was put 1st on hold for them. This is only from the first & 2nd waves. I‘m now still up at over 400 after much sorting, delaying & deleting ones I‘ve already listened to. I guess I have a lot more to go! 🤷‍♀️ Insanity! 🤪

j.rye That‘s amazing! I can‘t even see books my library doesn‘t own in Libby. 5y

Schnoebs 😂😂😂 what a struggle to have lol 5y

ReadingRover @j.rye my library has Libby too but I still prefer overdrive. I also use hoopla but usually I can only take out 5 books a month. They‘ve extended it to 10 because of the apocalypse though which is nice. 5y

ReadingRover @Schnoebs I know right! First world problems! Woe is me and all my books. 😰 5y

Chrissyreadit I was just cleaning out my box of cards and bookmarks and reread your note from the surprise package you sent for HEA. Wanted to say hi! And hope to see you on litsy soon. 5y

ReadingRover @Chrissyreadit Hey! Everything is ok. It was pretty crazy for a while. I‘m not working but trying to keep busy. How about you? Email me if you want msa3179@aol.com 5y

Smrloomis 🤯😅 That is a LOT of holds 😂 I get stressed out when I get 3 or 4 at the same time. Good luck sorting through those! 5y

ReadingRover @Smrloomis I know right! And it just keeps fluctuating between 303 and 312 as I read and more dribble in. It‘s insane! 🤪 5y

@BookNAround I cannot thank you enough for this package. Not only is it one of the most fabulous, thoughtful & carefully curated boxes I‘ve ever received but it came when I really needed something good in my life. All the books are ones off my list! There‘s so much great Alice swag & the choc is even the one I like. Thank you again! I can‘t tell you how much this box truly means to me right now. (The Alice bookmark is my fav!) #whiterabbitswap

Quarantined | Joe Mckinney

Quarantine got me down. My dad is pretty sick and it‘s kind of scary. Really hating being stuck in the house. Plague was not the dystopian fantasy I had always hoped for🙄 I would have preferred to have been a chosen one or even zombies. Ugh where‘s the rabbit hole I‘ve been waiting for my whole life! #wheresmyrabbithole #quarantinegotmedown #latefornomoredates

wordslinger42 I'm so sorry to hear about your dad 💜 I'll be praying he recovers soon!! I'm so thankful for the Litsy community in all this mess! (Also, I love your Alice cups, especially the one on the right!!) 5y

ReadingRover Thanks @wordslinger42 @TrishB @Kalalalatja @SW-T @wanderinglynn @LibrarianRyan @jas16 I appreciate it. He‘s in the hospital with COVID19 and bilateral pneumonia. He has COPD so that complicates things. Right now he‘s just on oxygen. Hopefully he won‘t need to be put on a ventilator. Thanks again. I just kinda needed to vent a little. 5y

Into the Light | Aleatha Romig

Cults, cults, cults! Everywhere! I‘m equally baffled and fascinated. I can‘t fathom how someone can be so easily sucked in & I‘m intrigued by the creepy inner workings. So many false prophets manipulating vulnerable people who are looking for something to believe in under the guise of community, love, religion & true sense of purpose. But one false move & the consequences can be as extreme as your life.

ReadingRover @MrBook ya know what I‘m sayin! 😂 6y

Patchshank I've been following what's going on with nxivm. It's scary shit. I'd heard of nxivm, but I didnt really know what they got up to. Just awful. 6y

ReadingRover @Patchshank omg I just read up on all of that and it‘s insane!!! They‘re freaking nuts. That‘s some R Kelly shit! 😳 6y

Patchshank @ReadingRover yeah it's messed up. If you find cults interesting though there is a podcast I like called cults. They take an in-depth look into several cults. It's interesting. 6y

ReadingRover @Patchshank yes! I‘ll definitely check it out. You should read this book. It‘s fiction and it‘s a duology but it‘s sooo good. I just got the second one. I can‘t wait to start it. 6y

Alister in Wonderland | Kurokoneko Kamen

If anyone is interested in a totally unique and fun genderbent Wizard of Oz retelling then this is for you. I just finished Theodore Gale in Oz and really liked it. It‘s definitely not your typical Oz story but that‘s why I enjoyed it. (Actual book not found to be tagged) #kuroKonekoKamen #TheodoreGaleinOZ #WizardofOz #retellings

tagged users icon

JenlovesJT47 Sounds intriguing! 😁 6y

LibrarianRyan Is that sis posed to be Raggedy Ann? 6y

ReadingRover @LibrarianRyan Yes! She‘s the scarecrow. The characters are all gender swapped and the whole story is tweaked so it‘s not a straight retelling which is why I liked it. It‘s not the best thing I‘ve read but it‘s a fun guilty pleasure kind of read. Kind of outrageous but it ends up working. @JenlovesJT47 just a heads up there‘s a bunch of sex thrown in so be forewarned. It‘s not an erotic novel but it‘s there. The other books don‘t have as much. ⤵️ (edited) 6y

ReadingRover But in this one the main character is a Kansas cowboy 🤠 playboy so he basically gets a hard on for all the girls. 😆 the more I‘m explaining it the more ridiculous it sounds but it‘s a fun book. Though I do prefer the wonderland one I listened to over this one. It was more character driven. 6y

ReadingRover @RadicalReader I actually used to never even eat chocolate. Also I have no self control so when I discovered this I ate a ton of it. I had a physical a few weeks later & they did bloodwork. They said I had to come back &be retested b/c I had a very high magnesium level. They didn‘t understand why. It turned out to be the freakin chocolate!!! Dark chocolate is super high in magnesium! Now I have to limit myself! 😝 6y

ReadingRover @Chrissyreadit thank you and I‘m the wort JB slacker. I want to do it I just never do. I have so many cards and so much stationary but I‘m one of those people who feel like I can‘t just write something quick and need a lot of time so I procrastinate. 😝 when I get back from vacation I took an extra few days so I‘m hoping to start sending some stuff out. 6y

BookBabe So glad you enjoyed your birthday! 😊❤️ 6y

BookBabe And have fun in Sedona! I‘ve been there, it‘s gorgeous. 😍 6y

#HEAS @ReadingsByTheC thank you so much! This is one of the most intuitive & well thought out boxes I‘ve received in a swap! Well stalked my friend! Well stalked! Everything is so on point! Green tea w/almond! Drinking it now out of my new mug. Love the bead kit! I can‘t believe you not only got the SnowQueen FTT dvd but it has the best episodes on it!!! I totally loved Thumbalina! I will be starting the Navigator‘s Tale ASAP. Basset bookmark🔖💗

ReadingRover @LibrarianRyan see that dvd!!! It has 4 episodes of FTT on it & one of them is The Nightingale starring Mick Jagger! 👏 👏 👏 @ReadingsByTheC picked the best dvd! It has The Emperor‘s New Clothes w/Alan Arkin, The Nightingale, The Snow Queen (my fav) and Thumbelina w/Carrie Fisher!!! (a close second) 6y

LibrarianRyan @ReadingRover that‘s the one he is in! Yeah. He‘s not a great actor but it‘s a valiant effort. 6y

ReadingsByTheC I am so glad you liked everything. It was lots of fun to shop for you. I was so excited someone else remembered FTT! Also, typing "Baba Yaga gifts" in a search engine takes you down a really weird rabbit hole! ? 6y

Alice I Have Been: A Novel | Melanie Benjamin

I don‘t think it‘s too big a secret that my participation in the #jb group has been an epic fail so far. By no means is this intentional. I have a lot of anxiety & it tends to get in the way of many of my good intentions. I‘m weird & I‘m really sorry. But I just want to thank all of you for not giving up on me. Today I want to thank @Jas16 in particular because I received this. It was so thoughtful, kind & unexpected. I appreciate it so much.

ReadingRover @Jas16 oh no!!! I‘m so sorry. I thought that maybe you just weren‘t on Litsy much based on that other profile. I tried to search by the name and i couldn‘t find you. I‘m so sorry. Thank you so much it was so kind of you. I was actually just thinking about it and was going to send an email because I thought maybe you just weren‘t active on Litsy and I didn‘t want you to think I didn‘t appreciate it. 6y

Untitled | Unknown

Ugh I can‘t find this in the database & I‘m not one to go off app wherever that may be so Untitled it is. Anyway! This audiobook seemed like something I would like & I ended up loving it! Dystopian girl living on a garbage island in a dystopian world gets herself on a reality tv show to win herself a trip to Mars. It‘s freaking fantastic! Funny, fast paced, action packed w/ great characters & plot. Awesome audiobook! #RobDircks #YoureGoingToMars

Texreader Was this a choice this month? It sounds great but it‘s not one of my options 6y

ReadingRover No I found out about it through a Goodreads group that I‘m a part of. I loved it. If you‘re not sure if you will like it, what I do is I look for the kindle version and then see if the audible add on is cheaper than just getting the audiobook. Sometimes you can get them both together for a lot less. 6y

Chasing Arizona: One Man�s Yearlong Obsession with the Grand Canyon State | Ken Lamberton

In March a friend & I will be going on a little vacation to Arizona. We‘ll be in Phoenix for a bit, then in Sedona for the most part. I was wondering which wonderful Littens live in Arizona & if any of you can recommend any cool places or things to do. I love kitschy weird stuff. Also if anyone is actually in those immediate areas maybe we could actually meet up. Let me know! #sedona #arizona #r&r #finallysomefun #firstrealvacationinforever

Kaye Have a wonderful time. 6y

NatalieR I took the same vacation in September! Sedona is fabulous!! Lots of great shops and hiking. I recommend visiting the vortexes;Bell Rock is my favorite. All of the locals are friendly and happy to make recommendations. Have a great trip! 6y

Peddler410 Take a Pink Jeep tour in Sedona. You won‘t regret it! And stop by Hole-in-Rock 😊 6y

See All 22 Comments

ReadingRover @kaye Thanks! @NatalieR i was looking into the vortex tours. I‘ll check out Bell Rock. @Peddler410 I‘m totally doing the Pink Jeep tour. You‘re the second person to recommend it. And I will definitely check out Hole-In-Rock! 6y

ReadingRover @kaye This will be my first vacation in at least 5 years that‘s longer than 2 nights and doesn‘t involve some type of work involved. I‘m so excited! 6y

monalyisha Ah! I just went to Arizona with my husband! One of the best things we did was kayaking in Mesa on the river & taking in SO MUCH nature — especially the wild horses! I‘ll find the link & leave it for you! 6y

monalyisha What inspired us: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/salt-river-wild-horses Practical link: https://www.saguarolakeranch.com/activities/kayaking/ 6y

ReadingRover @monalyisha That‘s awesome! Thanks so much. Kayaking is on our list so that would be great. I really appreciate it. 6y

monalyisha Also, check out Flagstaff (especially if you like stars & beer). Our favorite was Dark Sky Brewing Co. 6y

monalyisha And if you need any AirBnB recs, we stayed at a couple of gems. 6y

ReadingRover @monalyisha Airbnb refs would be great. And I love the dark sky stuff. We‘re going on a tour in Sedona. 6y

monalyisha This place is in Prescott. There‘s not much around it but it‘s worth staying just to enjoy their space (& art, & beautiful pool, & homemade scones!). We stayed for one night & wish we stayed for more. https://abnb.me/Al0ESoZAvT 6y

monalyisha This one‘s in Flagstaff. You have to drive a little bit to get into town (not far, though). There‘s a hot tub, the bed is comfy, & the host is SUPER chill. https://abnb.me/0Omr0alCvT 6y

monalyisha Where we stayed in Phoenix. The bed‘s not *that* comfortable (it‘s okay) but it‘s a lot of fun if you‘re into music! There‘s a fairly extensive record collection available for your use: https://abnb.me/dqJJiZrCvT 6y

monalyisha Have fun!!! 6y

monalyisha Also... BEWARE OF SPIDERS. I don‘t even want to talk about the size of the buggers I encountered. 💀 6y

ReadingRover @monalyisha OMG thank you so much for all your suggestions and help!!! This is great!!! 6y

ReadingRover @monalyisha 😂 I‘m ok with spiders as long as they don‘t sneak up on me 😝 6y

Avanders So fun!! (Yes Sedona is gorgeous) 6y

ferskner I'm from Arizona! Sadly, I've only been to Sedona once, but Prescott and Jerome are both old mining towns that have turned into little art colonies. They're great! In Phoenix, I'd recommend a hike in Papago Park (it's where Hole in the Rock is), or going up South Mountain at dusk to see the entire Valley light up. Scottsdale has a bookstore called the Poisoned Pen, my home of Tempe has Changing Hands, and Mesa has Bookman's. All three are AWESOME. 6y

ferskner I think a lot of weird older stuff in Phoenix has been torn down, unfortunately, but I'll try to think of some interesting corners that might still exist. I haven't lived there in 12 years though, so I'm not sure what will still be around. I'll give it some thought! 6y

ReadingRover @ferskner Awesome thanks!!! I think we‘re going to check out Jerome one day. There are a lot of haunted tours and stuff like that there. I‘ll definitely check out the bookstores! I‘m super excited for the night sky 🌌 over that way!!! I booked us a stargazer tour. I can‘t wait to see the world sans light pollution 😝 I‘ve been crazy obsessed with astronomy lately! 6y

ReadingRover @tpixie Yes definitely bring a rolling suitcase to keep in baggage to stash your books when you come off the floor then you can keep going back to collect some more.

Gissy I saw you had a lot of retellings in your tbr so I thought there is a girl inside her, that is why I chose the topic of Narnia for the art print and the coasters. The tote bag and the mug are just related with winter. 6y

ReadingRover @Gissy The coasters are sooo pretty! I‘m already using them. They‘re out for Christmas! I also love the nutcracker with his tiny working jaw. My grandma used to work at a factory that made wooden ornaments and decorations. It reminds me of those. I used to collect all different ones. Gave me such a warm feeling! (edited) 6y
