I never understood why "Take a hike" was such a bad thing. Still plays out side and gets lost in books. herhighness.rbf.wtf/links

Catsandbooks @SmartSassery oh that's wonderful! My neighbor used to have 2 pits and they were so sweet! Everyone else was super intimidated by them but I never had any issues with them. They liked to escape their fenced yard a lot and I often would catch them. I would literally just call for them and they would come running and follow me. 😂 unfortunately I'm allergic and would break out into hives, but all their kisses were worth it! ❤️ 11mo
BookmarkTavern Oh he‘s a beauty! 11mo
SmartSassery @Catsandbooks I love dogs so much. I used to train them. That has to be hard to want to give them love but have to be itchy afterwards. You're very sweet for watching out for them. 11mo
Catsandbooks @SmartSassery That must have been so rewarding! And it is very hard! I absolutely love animals especially dogs and cats. I'm allergic to them, but I still have 3 cats and a dog 🤪 and I always will have pets, they are worth every stuffy nose. My allergies have gotten better as I've gotten older but some breeds affect me more than others. Give Dorian a big hug for me! 🩵 11mo
SmartSassery @Catsandbooks some breeds carry more dander than others. I have a friend that's the same way. lol I hear the shar pei is easy on the allergies, but that's secondhand information. Pets really are amazing! Give your lil tribe head scratches and big squeezes for me too please. 11mo

I don't know about this one. I loved the idea of the story. It started out slow, but it was interesting so that was ok, but it stayed slow. Then all of the sudden it just seemed to hurry up and end. Just felt like there should have been more. Maybe I just wanted there to be more. It wasn't a bad book. Just left a lot to be desired I guess. I always feel bad saying I didn't like someone's work.

This was a really cute book. Usually I can't tell what is coming but with this one the title kind of gave it away. That being said I didn't know exactly who it was until quite a ways into the read. I'm really enjoying this series. Some really good lessons on how society works for teen readers with some ideas on the type of person you might strive to be. Love the entire Miles family, blood and acquired.

My daughter and I absolutely loved this book. It's a really adorable story meshing together historical fiction and penny drealful feels. It's pretty light and fun with a touch of Victorian creep. We'll be finishing this series together for sure, as we've already started the next. We did not want to set it down, nor did we want it to end. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I wasn't expecting this book to be what it is. I expected more of the story and I should have read about it. I avoid summeries and reviews until I read and sometimes that comes back to bite me. This is just an add-on after thought. I'm a little sad right now. Time for the book hangover to officially set in on this series. I so wanted more. The trilogy was epic.

I am an avid hiker. Sometimes it's really hard to find trail information. I'm currently on vacation/home shopping in the Ozarks. I've been to visitors centers, I've searched online, and I've tried many apps to find the best trails. It wasn't until I stopped into Barnes & Noble that I happened to come across this book sitting on a table that I was able to find something helpful. This book is absolutely amazing. So many great details. What a find!

Reading this series with my daughter. I have to say it keeps my attention. I'm hooked on the series as well. It's such a cute book. So many great lessons for both girls and boys.

I really enjoyed this retelling. It was a bit slow to get going and a lot of time was spent on back story but one it got going it kept my head spinning. I love a story that keeps me guessing and I love a retelling from a different perspective. So this was an epic October read for me. 8 usually reread Frankenstein this time of year. I decided to change it up and I'm glad I did.

It's crazy. It's been so hard to focus on reading this year. I have manages to get almost 50 books in, but I wanted more. Hehehe. With all the surgery and physical therapy, there was just a lot of sleeping. Then the decision fatigue from this crazy as.. year. Did anyone else have the same issue getting through books? They were still an escape, lots of rereading this year for me. This design came to me over it all. 💜

CaliforniaCay Same here! I usually read about 30 a year. My goal this year was 50 but I'll be finishing at right around 20. Im a bit disappointed but I also had surgery earlier this year and have to keep reminding myself...this wasn't a normal year for anyone! 4y
