Hi #booksky I’m looking for some book recs for my son
📚💙

Age 6 - He loves the Amulet and 5 Worlds graphic novels & will read w/o help. He loses interest in books w/ no pictures but could handle a higher text:pic ratio.

He did not care for Neil Gaiman’s children’s novels much to my disappointment!

Took a little break from social media recently and went to Mexico. I finished reading #EastofEden for the first time and started on a Django Wexler book next as something lighter.

I had what I *thought * was going to be a celebratory trip planned which will now include 20% more alcohol!

I did early voting on Thursday!

I’m in a medium one and had my 6yo with me and they gave us an extra for him.

Got the same one I’m putting it on my purse so it lasts longer. My husband got the cute puppy one for our little girl 🥰

Woman holding up a Michigan “I voted” sticker of a built werewolf ripping off his shirt while howling in front of an American flag.

Happy #electionday to all Americans! Please please please vote. If you are in Michigan you can get this sweet #werewolf sticker!

I really enjoyed “Normal Women” by Phillipa Gregory

Chart of the books I’ve read this month: “The Mysteries of Udolpho” “Something Wicked this way Comes” “Selected works of Edgar Allen Poe” “Slewfoot” “Strega” “How to Age Disgracefully” “Lights Out” “Haunting Adeline” - did not finish at 40% 5 different Peter Swanson murder mysteries “A Trace of Hares” These are mainly horror/murder type Books with the exception of How to Age Disgracefully which was for my book club

My #Octoberwrapupcor books this month. I tried to give 2 dark romance books a shot for spooky season but it is #notforme.

Strega would be an amazing horror film.

Gorgeous day in Traverse City #Michigan.

Small box of pink Nerds candies with political sticker stating “Vote Trombley” on it

Last night my kid got a political ad on their #halloween candy. Should have passed out bigger ones! 😅

Day 9

My daughter would love the Elsa vibes on the bottom 2!

Got the famous Michigan sticker!!

Pink rose with 2 buds

Happy #rosewednesday 🌱💙

This is on my TBR might need to move it up!

This was real feedback provided to me from a fitness app based the foods I logged:

Although I love me some Queen and Bowie, I think it’d be more accurate to say I am “Get Low” years old.

I haven’t been tempted to buy any dumb beauty and or children’s products either!

This was the first “dark” fantasy book I read as a teen and I loved all 3!

Come to Ann Arbor!

Reading East of Eden for the first time. Way better than Of Mice and Men which is the only Steinbeck they teach in high school here! (Probably bc it’s a short read 🙄)

Book cover “Sabriel” by Garth Nix. A white woman with black hair blowing in the wind is wearing a blue and silver tunic with a leather sash covered in different size bells. She holds a sword in one hand and the smallest bell in the other. Behind her is a monster in shadows with yellow squinty eyes and black claw like hands reaching out for her.

Day 8

Just read the first 2 to my 6 year old!

I live in Michigan and my mom is a reformed Trump voter. It can happen!

I can’t wait I’m gonna bring my kids.

It’s a challenge a lot of people on Booksky are doing right now I did not choose the number. The fact that it’s supposed to be random order makes me feel less guilty about leaving out many gems!
