Monday Meme #32


I am reviving this little feature after eight years. You might see a couple recycled from when I did this in 2016, but they were funny then and they are still funny now. Occasionally they will be more introspective or comforting. No matter what, they will be about reading and books.


Soooooooo relaxing. Even more relaxing when you are crying over real people and places in history. Do you know how many times I have thought about everything lost when the Library at Alexandria was repeatedly destroyed. *Sigh*

Happy Reading!

Tackling the TBR | Weeks 9 & 10 | Mar 1 - Mar 14, 2024

    

Here we go!

This is year FIVE of Tackling the TBR and I finally have things sort-of under control. My ultimate goal is to get under 500 books, but I also have to be realistic - just think of all the books not even written yet that I will want to read. When I started this mess  I was at well over 5,000 books on the TBR, so to be where I am now is pretty incredible.

I will post on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and last day of the month.

Prevous Week's TBR Total: 2,092

Currently Reading

I'm posting all my ARCs in the hope it will shame me publicly so I stop getting books from the library and read these instead. Odds are 50/50 that it will actually work.

First Line Friday #172


First Line Friday is a weekly feature and simple to do - grab the book nearest you and post the first line. Carrie hosts this over on her blog Reading is my Superpower.


On 4 July, 1378, a bead maker, Simon Wylde de Estland, robbed a haberdasher's shop in London.
