This was a beautiful fairy tale. It has magic and witches and a bog monster that loves poetry and a "simply enormous" dragon. Yes, it is a children's book but meant for all to enjoy. And if you like audio books, this narrator did a wonderful job! Sounds like grandma telling me a bedtime story with voices and all ?????

I have never cared about programming... but this quote has me intrigued...

I know most of the world laughs at LA when we get rain and complain, but our infrastructure is not built for any weather conditions. Well, after a LONG 25 mile, 90 minute drive home, I still wanted to stop for my library holds to hunker down with... now I hide until tomorrow and hope the hubby-to-be makes it home soon.

WTF doesn't begin to describe this. Honestly, I was getting annoyed at how "Gone Girl"-ish it was getting. Crazy woman being crazy. My initial thought is I disliked it with that ending, but thought differently as I realized that for something to illicit that shock and make my face do this has to make it a pick. I just wish I had friends that read this so I can discuss!!

I am currently reading this on my kindle and am loving every moment of it!! 😊🌝❤️ I am a total re-listener of stories, and this highly praised piece of magic had to be mine when I saw this and knew I had to share with you wonderful people! Link in the comment👇👇

I haven't picked up a book of poetry since The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy almost 10 years ago (closest thing to poetry at least)... but I was at the store and picked this up to see what the fuss was about. This was the first page I turned to and I was sold.

I splurged a bit today... I feel the need for a good cry, thinking one of these will get me there. The cupcakes are to help me after #agoodcryisgoodforthesoul

Got this in the mail... not sure how, but was super excited! Probably a @bookriot giveaway since I sign up for all of them. But with comparisons to Hitchcock and so much talk of an insane ending, I had to make this my next read (sorry TBR pile!) Thanks @flatironbooks - super excited to dive in!!

I loved this so much! A sci-fi thriller with a very strong (and sappy) heart at the center. Damn. If it weren't for these reading challenges I would start rereading it immediately!

People don't generally gift me books because I just buy them all the time... but my sister rocked this one! (With a little Nightmare Before Christmas love mixed in!)
And Unicorgi will often make an appearance with my posts... at least until I have my genuine #petsoflitsy, he will have to suffice.

Just got my #botm title yesterday so here is my contribution to the #giftideas contest I was just able to post over on Instagram. I live in a tiny place hence no real #petsoflitsy or big tree... but I love how the pic turned out!!
Happy Holidays you lovely Litsians!! I ❤ this community!!

Fellow Litsians! Can you help me find all of the popular reading challenges for 2017 please! I have the PDF for the Book Riot Read Harder list (and working on my list from my huge TBR pile)... But want to try to get in on others everyone is doing. Thanks for your help! 📖🍺🎭😍

FINALLY settling in to read this! Few months since I got this signature... but stupid (in that it kept me from reading for pleasure) school kept me from this, so hope it is worth the EXTRA wait 😆

I am one of the guilty ones that thought the word "feminist" as an ugly word. And this beautiful piece made me realize how incredibly jaded my sensibility was. I am so grateful I made this my first read after a very long semester... so damn powerful.

2 of my favorite signatures I have for #signedSundays! I have a few Christopher Moore signatures, but Lamb is the first of his I ever read and fell in love with. Then getting to meet Sydney Padua at San Diego Comic Con this year was an absolute highlight (and she drew me a kitten so I had to share with my fellow Littens!!)

I am back in school (doing this in your 30s is hard!) and while I do all my learning for the next 15 weeks my funsie reading has to go to the side while I learn about business stuff and tax avoidance. My hope at the end of all this learning? Opening a bookstore... Going to be awhile, but damn it is nice to have a goal. I will continue to chime in on your posts, but I don't think I will post much. See you after finals!!

So, I took a picture of my mini vacation drink choice in my very fancy glasses for facebook and realized the glasses went so well with my latest library selection. Now I am wondering if @MrBook approves of this drink selection with this book.

This was a quote I saved last year and was reminded of today... 11 years of book selling saw a whole lot of these interactions... Oh how I miss working in a bookstore! (for realsies, no sarcasm, I loved these interactions because they amused me!)

If there are books in a bar, I am going to look at them. This one had an old note with lyrics making it even more amazing.

Not sure how many comic book fans are out there - but this is my all time favorite series so throwing it out there for #recommendsday! I dare you to NOT have a literary crush on Bigby Wolf or Snow White or the badass that is Cinderella! I wasn't huge into comic books until I started this series so I highly recommend if you are looking to try comics out (and the original series is complete!)

Happy #NationalBookLoverDay fellow Litsy peeps! I hope you were able to spend at least a part of it doing what we all love!

Oh man - I don't often listen or read much in the way of Science Fiction and I LOVED this story & audiobook. The main character is an absolute ass who thinks he knows better than everyone else (and usually does) - and of course I absolutely loved him. This had me laughing and worrying and saddened and then laughing again! Highly recommend this!!!

And now for something a little different from what I normally consume...

This new Harry Potter installment left me feeling the same as every other story when it ended in this series - missing these characters and craving more. And oh my, that Scorpious kid is friggin' adorable and a new favorite!!

I couldn't wait for my delivery until Tuesday so got the Kindle version too... Happy Birthday to the always amazing J.K. Rowling and thank you for a new Harry Potter story on your (and his) day!

This was SO good! Great summer read - just don't read before you get on a plane... Or during your plane ride. Really, this shouldn't be sold at airports. If you have plans to go on one of those luxury small aircrafts sometime soon, with say, a media mogul and his family, just wait until after the trip to read this book.

Interesting and some hateful characters. Great writing. Insight into almost all the players in the story. 👍🏻🌟🛩🌊🏊

Finally had time to go through my San Diego Comic Con goodies from last weekend. Too bad the 24 hour reading challenge wasn't this weekend! Lots of generous publishers handed out free books and even more generous authors stuck around to sign if they were there. Super excited to dive into all of these! This is reminding me of my book selling days (oh how I miss those!!) #SDCC

Well, I was excited to see a crazy straw in my Book of the Month box yesterday! Score!

Really enjoyed this being read by the always amazing Kate Mulgrew. She did a fabulous job with acting out the fantastic characters! Story was excellent and kept me on the edge of my seat at so many points! Highly recommend this fun summer read (or listen)!!

A tragedy turned comedy in this latest Ryan North choose-your-own-path Shakespeare adaptation. My first read through led to becoming a pirate, so I was sold instantly. Really fun quick reads (unless you choose to go the traditional path). The Nurse doesn't get all the funny bits this time! ❤️👍🏻

Getting ready to settle in and finally read the @Liberty recommendation for Book of the Month in June!
