I really wanted to like this end of life story, but the writing style was so distracting that I found it hard to stay in the story.

dabbe @TheBookgeekFrau Wowza! Is he an architect or something? I've never seen such straight lines! 🤩😂🤩 22h
TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe lol He's a design engineer. For decades was a tool and die maker, and designed packaging (he inherited his father's plastics company) so everything he dealt with had to be precise to smallest Nth measurement 😵‍💫🤯 He's quite handy to have around 😂 21h

It's a good, solid Jill Shalvis story complete with likable characters, humor, banter, and found family. However, I found myself getting impatient with "the formula" plot. Time for a break. I did get a #BookSpinBingo though, so woohoo!

The Wizard of Oz
King Kong
The Shining

Honorable mention to my number one scary movie: Terminator

#ThreeListThursdsy #TLT

This horse's story was so touching and inspiring, but the writing was repetitive and dull. Only the story and history kept me from DNFing. However, the long buried horse-girl in me is glad I read it 😊🐴

Such a gorgeous Sunday! Hiked 2.7 miles this morning; of which the Grand did 2.2 before wanting her stroller--super impressed💞

And now I'm going to sit outside and start my #DoubleSpin before the fam comes for dinner.

🤯 The man gives the most interesting information and draws connections between the seemingly most unrelated things ever! The delivery, however, didn't feel as smooth and seamless as in his past books. It felt more podcasty, and I wonder if the audiobook would've been smoother🤷🏻‍♀️ Still, a very worthy read.

Awesome find at the library book sale tonight!!

If I can't have the hardcover edition my mother got rid of (I will never not be mad about that), I'm happy to settle for a first Pocket Books printing from November 1979 for only $0.60 😁 Couldn't believe a room full of booksellers scooping up everything in sight passed this by 🤣

Thank you @dabbe for the tag 💞

I did worse on this week's 13% BUT it was interesting to see how many movies were remakes decades later.

Faves:
Mighty Joe Young (I miss monster movie Sundays)
Nightmare on Elm Street
The Karate Kid (I want Mr Myiagi's backyard)

#ThreeListThursday #TLT

dabbe Our scary movies aired on late Saturday nights after 12 PM. Nightmare on Elm Street still scares the beejesus out of me! LOVE The Karate Kid. Thanks for playing and sharing! 🖤🧡🖤 3w
TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe Same with my scary movies! But monster movies (King Kong, Godzilla etc) were on Sundays and holidays 👹🧡 3w
dabbe @TheBookgeekFrau Excellent distinction! Thanks! And you are so right--we also had monster movies, but those were usually the Saturday TV matinee or after. I remember watching THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON on a Saturday, and I was scared for months! 🤩 3w
TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe The only horror movie I remember from my single digit years was The Blob and being terrified more bc my father used to tell the jelly monster would come if I stayed up too late 🙄🤣 Godzilla would make me sad and worried for him! I didn't quite understand that when he went back into the ocean he was going home. I'd cry myself to sleep for days; until I worried about the jelly monster again😂😂 3w
dabbe @TheBookgeekFrau I think the idea of monsters in literature and movies stays with us more than the heroes do sometimes! 😂 3w
