Char - The Literary Word

I love books dealing with the oceans and those that dwell within. I think this one just made my wishlist!

Life in Hot Water: Wildlife at the Bottom of the Ocean|Hardcover A dramatic overview of the deep-sea extremophiles that thrive in scalding water and permanent darkness at the bottom of the oceanThe scalding-hot water gushing from vents at the bottom of the ocean is...

You’ve got this!

Migraine day here but I’m attempting to wrangle my kindle content into some form of organization (mainly clicking download) while reading Ultra Processed People by Chris Van Tulleken.

I decided to try taking a chunk out of my TBR. I’m working my way through my books on the food industry. Hearts represent ones I’ve read so far. Repeat are because I have multiple formats for some.

I’m absolutely in the “all is lost” realm. I add far more than I manage to read. I feel like my only option is to haunt my home for a few centuries. 🤣

Life certainly has a way of killing the best intentions. I’ve been reading as much as I can but a family emergency disrupted things. I need to catch up on everyone’s’ bookish posts. I’ll be updating later, including upcoming releases I’m excited about!

My August TBR. I’ll be throwing in some fiction but these 4 Non- Fiction I really want to get to this month. I’m especially interested in the Blizzard title. Die hard fan of Diablo since the 90s. What’s on your TBR?

August so far. I’m catching up after some health issues so please forgive the flood.
These 4 are my favourites so far this month along with “Surly Tim” A Lancashire Story. I also enjoyed Home is Where the Bodies are which I devoured in a few hours.

July was good to me. I read 11 titles and I just posted my top 4. I’m absolutely hooked on the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. August is off to a good start too. Richard Wright’s A Black Boy was challenging emotionally but definitely worth it. Also enjoyed A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World.

July was a crazy reading month for me. My top 4 are a good mix. I don’t typically listen to Audiobooks but hubby has me hooked on Dungeon Crawler Carl. I started the e-book but switched to audio. Jeff Hayes is an excellent performer.

Just a few of my reads from June: I liked them but The Bookshop of Secrets fell a little short and only got ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ stars. It’s Kind of a Funny story was my ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read.

I haven’t had a chance to read this yet, in spite of having the ARC for a while. I’ll be reading it this week. I feel this could be a promising read and it’s releasing today (August 12th). I’ll post my thoughts after I finish it.

This arrived with me at the start of the week and due to an awful week, I’m only just posting it. I actually squealed when I opened it on Monday. Isn’t the cover just stunning? I’m so blessed to be reading this novel by Erin Nieto. ❤️

Well, finally getting around to it.
I’ll be following it up with Brave New World Revisited.

Seeking the most helpful books on facing and surviving cancer.

I’ve got a few but I’d like to get my head buried in a few more.

Thank you for any recommendations

I was at a bookstore again yesterday. 🙄
I was mistaken for staff. Twice. lol
Got a few new to me picks which I’ve shared in a nest post. Take a peek ❤️

Current read.

Recently gifted to me by a loved one. I’d been meaning to buy it for so long, especially as I had previously enjoyed ‘We Have Always Lived in the Castle’.

Right? I remember how popular it was but at that time I was super busy and not reading as much. Even in the second big wave I didn’t get to it (I was reviewing/blogging and personal picks weren’t a priority). I’m so glad I got to it though.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I read this in 2006 as part of a Bookcrossing Bookray. It lingered with me for so long and I finally grabbed my own copy a month or so ago. It’s just as powerful as I recalled.

I enjoyed it. A darker read but I do like contemplative writing and the prose was quite eloquent and beautiful. I’d love to revisit it in a decade or so.

I’m so close to the end. 🥰

I really enjoyed How to Keep House While Drowning. It’s been a few years but I found it interesting.

Still reading this one. Migraines have been making it difficult to get reading time in.

I did some more of my book cataloging today too though.
