A quick post, after a big distance trip, to show a second hand #BookHaul
Found these delights at Bookshop Bivar in Lisbon, and if you're in Portugal and looking for second hand books in English, this is the bookstore to go. They also send by post to other places in Portugal.
I definitely read the entire thing in a southern accent! Something I really enjoy is seeing authors compare different types of love in their books; love that isn't really sincere or healthy vs. love that's more genuine and true, and this book does that. Though, I will say this book won't be everyone's cup of tea...
I was at Ollie's yesterday with my wife and I stumbled into finding the third omnibus of the Batman: Knightfall story, also referred to as "Knights End."
It was $5. I thought about it for a moment, then remembered that I had a gift card that I had not used from Christmas from Amazon, so I could just pick up Volumes 1 and 2 easily.
So, looks like I'm re-reading Knightfall for the first time since I was about 10.

I don't think there was anything in particular I didn't love about this book. The characters are absolutely endearing and have a way of making you smile with their cute little quirks. I also really enjoyed seeing Viv open up and forge friendships with others who were generally known to be disliked, or awkward...
When you start reading this book, you are immediately drawn in by the question of “What on earth happened between Sloan and Lucian that they hate each other so much”? The book doesn’t really tell you their history until quite later on, but it sprinkles in clues of it throughout to keep the reader really engaged and wondering what happened. I could NOT put this book down.
As I said, I'm really struggling with this week's assignment because I read more romance than erotica but here is one I fell into because I can't start a series and not finish it. Nikita and Jaxson were cute. @JalessaReads#BookTok#blackTookTok#Bookstagram #RomanceReads#BlackRomance#29DaysOfBR Day 9
I rarely jump into book stack challenges I find online, however, over on Instagram there is a "Manga or Book User Name" stack challenge from users heygingermaenga, dragonballzowie, and mainly.manga. So, I decided to try it out.
The issue I had was that it was really hard to find an R book.
So, here is how I laid out MDMRN.
M - My Father is a Unicorn
D - Donald Duck Visits Japan
M - My Broken Mariko
R - Return of the Jedi (Pop-Up Book)
N - (The) Nightmare Before Christmas
This was a fun challenge and thanks to the three of you for putting this out there.
Hello, I'm Elora Alderwood. I'm in the process of writing my first book. Heatwave, an erotic romance, will hopefully be published later this year. Social media is not my strength but I'm working on it 😅 I'm hoping to connect with other writers from all genres as well as readers and look forward to contributing to this community. I follow back all writers and readers. No politics please #writersofmastodon#booksworthreading#bookstagram#bookstodon#authors#readingcommunity#writingcommunity

Leituras que se fazem com uma mão no teclado e outra no livro.
Há aquele meme dos informáticos que, quando queres aprender a programar algo, vais ver vídeos de random indian guys no YouTube. Mas eu sou literato. Prefiro ler o livro dos random indian guys.
É também a minha primeira experiência consciente a comprar livros POD. Espero que aguente o teste do tempo.
While my third novel is in the read-through and editing process, I’ll be working on my book review for ‘The End of All Skies’ by Vincent Sales this weekend. It’s been a while since I’ve done this.
AUTHOR TAKEOVER coming this Monday, Jan 15, 2024!
Where I'll introduce my new novel, ANYWHERE BUT SCHUYLKILL, and you can ask me questions about the book, the historical context in which it takes place, my research, the characters, and other related questions. AND I’ll be giving away FREE copies of my novel!!!
About ANYWHERE BUT SCHUYLKILL: In 1877, twenty Irish coal miners hanged for a terrorist conspiracy that never occurred. Anywhere But Schuylkill is the story of one who escaped, Mike Doyle, a teenager trying to keep his family alive during the worst depression the nation has ever faced. Banks and railroads are going under. Children are dying of hunger. The Reading Railroad has slashed wages and hired Pinkerton spies to infiltrate the miners’ union. And there is a sectarian war between rival gangs. But none of this compares with the threat at home.

"When I speak of liberation, it is not to foment yet another social justice project, it is an inclusive and fervent agitation against domination and exploitation of existence, for the liberation of Mother Earth is liberation of all existence."—Klee Benally
We're excited to have copies of "No Spiritual Surrender: Indigenous Anarchy in Defense of the Sacred," an essay collection by Diné artist and Indigenous Action Media founder Klee Benally. Grounded in his experiences as an agitator and media maker, informed by family histories and cultural teachings, Benally offers a searing rebuke to settler colonialism, including its progressive and Left-wing manifestations. This is a wide-ranging volume that beautifully weaves together movement history, memoir, hard-won lessons, and (anti-)political provocations!
