It's a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there.  What I Did: Going back to work after a week off is never fun. I did get to work at our 2nd much much much slower location for 2 days so that was a nice change of pace. Tuesday was DnD day, not much happened as our group needed to meet the new character of the guy who's character died during our last session - lots of the characters chatting around a fire which was still fun. Thursday, I only worked a half day due to working on Saturday so I was super produc...

First Line Friday & Friday 56: Play Nice by Rachel Harrison

Image
  Welcome to First Line Friday! This is a weekly feature hosted by Carrie at  Reading Is My Superpower . The idea is very simple: you just share the first line (or lines) of the book you are currently reading.  "We're coming up on midnight. The room is loud, everyone champagne drunk, ignorant of volume, and, wow, the air in here is intense, all hot breath and designer perfume." Friday56 is hosted by  HeadFullOfBooks RULES: * Grab a book, any book * Turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader  (If you want to improvise, go ahead!) * Find a snippet, but no spoilers! * Post it  to your blog and add your url to the Linky.

Down The TBR Hole #7

Image
   Down The TBR Hole is a meme created by  Lost in a Story , but she has permitted  I’m Into Books  to adopt it since she is no longer blogging. I always see  Confessions of a YA Reader  do this and I have been wanting to give it a shot myself as my Goodreads to-read shelf has 667 books on it.  Go to your goodreads to-read shelf. Order on ascending date added. Take the first 5 (or 10 (or even more!) if you’re feeling adventurous) books. Of course, if you do this weekly, you start where you left off the last time. Read the synopses of the books Decide: keep it or should it go This weeks books: Beguiled by Cyla Panin The Drown Our Daugthers by Katrina Monroe * A Song of Silver and Gold by Melissa Karibian Lute by Jennifer Throne * Even Though I Knew The End by C.L Polk Keeping: This wasn't the best group to do this with as I own copies of They Drown Our Daughters and Lute so they were automatically going to stay. New To Read Shelf Total: 666 *indica...

Review: The Seven Year Slip

Image
TWs: Suicide of a loved one After watching one of @amandas.reading.nook (on tiktok and instagram) TikTok where she talked about Ashley Poston's writing and her most recent release, I decided that I needed to give her a shot and I'm so glad that I did because I LOVED this book.  This book is about a magical apartment that will randomly send it's residents seven years into the past. I liked Clementine and her struggle with grieving her aunt- Grief is a powerful thing that we all experience a little differently and the way Poston wrote it had me in my feels. I liked meeting Iwan in the past and the present. I really liked Clementines struggle as her meetings with him were all happening around the same time, so she had to grapple with how he had changed over the course of seven years when it had only been months for her. I also enjoyed the lack of explanation on why the apartment is the way it is - just the idea of this random spot of magic existing was so whimsical and lovely....

Tell Me Something Tuesday: The Lottery

  That's What I'm Talking About 's Tell Me Something Tuesday   is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general.  September 16th: What would you do if you won the lottery? Thinking about winning the lottery isn't something I often do as I never actually participate in the lottery but to do this post, I am going to think about it as if I've won a few million dollars. I would pay off my car and buy a house - I would turn one of the rooms in my house into my dream library and I would buy enough books to stock most of it (got to save room for books that aren't out yet). I would definitely give money to my siblings to make their lives easier. I would donate some money to my local library system as I love them and want them to be able to do all the things to continue to provide to my community in the way that they do. I would also donate some to my local humane society in honor of the senior dog that ...
