📚 That 5-STAR TRIPLE BAR READ ☝BBD "EVERYTHING IS MENTAL" the Very Fly Story of BELL BIV DEVOE told by Jai Davis👑 Amazon & Over the Edge Books "The best bio I've read since Rick James dropped his" -Tray D #bellbivdevoe #neweditionmovie #happymonday #books #biography #memoirs #bestseller #goodread #lit
Hosted by Goodreads Indonesia at Pasar Festival, Kuningan. Great event, me, Nulisbuku.com and other writers + book lovers are having a great time!
so, i love to read. i read like, three books at a time, at least. i read quickly and i like to keep books instead of trading them in for something different. i've stolen at least one book from a library in three states. i pick up free local magazines and cut out pieces to make magnets with. and these are how i spend my nights. being a book nerd.
and the sad part? i am missing at least twenty books from this picture. i am too nice and i loan books out to people who never seem to give them back. so, next time? we're trading. that way either way, i don't lose a book.

Got a cat condo last week. Great deal on ebay, less than 1/3rd of retail price, which is good because the more you spend on a cat the less they use it. So since I didn't spend much, they adore it. =) 1 point for cat staff, zip for cats.

In this remarkable memoir, a young lady confronts her autism and reconciles her world with the world at large, to become a "somebody somewhere," to define autism and not let it define her. My Goodreads review:

Nature Of Alexander -- "The acclaimed biography of Alexander the Great." -- from www.goodreads.com
I enjoyed reading and learning more about Alexander. Renault's style can be a little long winded and this book was incredibly dense -- a great deal of information was compacted into a relatively short book -- which made it a little overwhelming to read. Her sympathy for Alexander was obvious and, at times, made it seem more as if she were talking about a high school crush rather than an ancient military/political leader. Despite her bias, the book was well researched and full of interesting information.

Dancer From Atlantis -- "An experiment in the future gone awry...and Duncan Reid, American architect of the 20th century, came out of unconciousness to find himself hopelessly marooned in the far distant past.
Bound to him were three of the strangest humans he had ever encountered... a medieval Russian, and a fourth-century Hun, and a sacred priestess who worshiped him as a god. And all shared the same fate--pulled through a hole in time to a present which was ancient history. Together the quartet formed a strange alliance which none dared break. For not only were their own futures at stake... but the very future of the world they had found..." -- from www.goodreads.com
I stumbled on this book by accident during an internet search about ancient greece, and I am very glad that I did. It was an interesting book, well-written and a different sort of story that I had assumed it would be. Most time travel stories seem to follow a formula of awkward out-of-time protagonist desperately searching for a way back to his/her own time. Whereas in this story, the out-of-place characters became very involved in the time period they landed in, giving the sense that they were meant to be there. An excellent book.

...With the last red berries
And the first white snows.
With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.
The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring.”

Goodreads Description - After Paul Stutzman lost his wife to breast cancer, he sensed a tug on his heart--the call to a challenge, the call to pursue a dream. Paul left his stable career, traveled to Georgia, and took his first steps on the Appalachian Trail. What he learned during the next four and a half months changed his life--and will change readers' lives as well.
In "Hiking Through," readers will join Paul on his remarkable 2,176-mile hike through fourteen states in search of peace and a renewed sense of purpose, meeting fascinating and funny people along the way. They'll discover that every choice we make along the path has consequences for the journey and will come away with a new understanding of God's grace and guidance. Nature-lovers, armchair adventurers, and those grieving a loss may not be able to hike the AT themselves, but they can go on this spiritual pilgrimage with a truly humble and sympathetic guide
*****************************************************************************************************************
My review - Wow...Despite the obvious religious overtones of the book I really loved it. I understood what the author was doing, what he was saying, and it was wonderful. I hated for the book to end, I just wanted to keep hanging on to his every word. Paul was funny, insightful, and a great speaker. I felt like I was right out there with him on the trail. I'm happy he was able to find what he was looking for on the trail.
“A waiting person is a patient person. The word patience means the willingness to stay where we are and live the situation out to the full in the belief that something hidden there will manifest itself to us.”

Goodreads Description - Thousands of impoverished Northern European immigrants were promised that the prairie offered "land, freedom, and hope." The disastrous blizzard of 1888 revealed that their free homestead was not a paradise but a hard, unforgiving place governed by natural forces they neither understood nor controlled, and America's heartland would never be the same.
*****************************************************************************************************************
My Review - This is one of the saddest books I have ever encountered. I could not imagine what these people went through during that blizzard in 1888. I cried when reading parts of it. This is definatly a must read if you are intrested in Amaerican history. The only reason I gave it 3 stars was because several chapters talked about meterology. I thought that without some sort of flow chart or map it's very hard to understand the conditions in how the blizzard started unless you are a student of meterology. It was a lot of information to try and understand.

FBI Story, snagged from my regular coffee shop, which is selling its paperbacks for fifty cents. Twice the cover price, but I think I got a deal.
This thing is wonderfully, insanely, beautifully, propaganda for the FBI and the good ol' US of A, with just a touch of smut to make it gold.
I am in love with this cover, PS.
Fiction Week! Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okarafor From GoodReads (CN: rape, genocide): An award-winning literary author presents her first foray into supernatural fantasy with a novel of post- apocalyptic Africa. In a far future, post-nuclear-holocaust Africa, genocide plagues one region. The aggressors, the Nuru, have decided to follow the Great Book and exterminate the Okeke. But when the only surviving member of a slain Okeke village is brutally raped, she manages to escape, wandering farther into the desert. She gives birth to a baby girl with hair and skin the color of sand and instinctively knows that her daughter is different. She names her daughter Onyesonwu, which means “Who Fears Death?” in an ancient African tongue. Reared under the tutelage of a mysterious and traditional shaman, Onyesonwu discovers her magical destiny-to end the genocide of her people. The journey to fulfill her destiny will force her to grapple with nature, tradition, history, true love, the spiritual mysteries of her culture-and eventually death itself.
