I tweet about my reading, whimsy, and politics and myself. I am a big fan of libraries. My link shows you books I’ve read and more. Pronouns: she/her

1001 BYMRBYD = 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die edited by Peter Boxall (2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2018) I am going to pick books across the 5 editions and try for 1001. Track my progress on @LibraryThing and each book is tagged with this book's title.

Ha! I’ll get deactivated soon X!

To all my 64 #followers, I am gone. Follow me to #BlueSky. I’m deleting here and set up there as the same whimsically named lady. I’m a #reader, a #poet, and love #baseball.

Here on 4/30, I will do an update. This is my @BookRiot Read Harder Challenge 2024 and I am lacking 6 books to complete it.

[Janet @JEHReader]

Here’s a feed cleanser. These are my Sesame Street Muppets of my childhood. No Elmo and no fairy either. I would add Telly, Big Bird, & Snuffy.

[Janet @JEHReader]

Well folks, it’s April 2024 now and I have hit 177 books from the 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die list. I’m about to read book 178 with The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison.

[Janet @JEHReader]

My present BYMRBYD list total is 172. I ended up not reading The Marriage Plot last year though I did read Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. This year, Im hoping to get to the total of 177.

[Janet @JEHReader]

I’ll finish One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez. The other books are The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen, and Ada by Vladimir Nabokov.

I’ve finished it! @michaelharriot I adore your Uncle Rob and you have written a great history book. It opened my eyes to the real history of this country. I’m now reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez.

Hello @michaelharriot. I’ve started Black AF History. This book is a page turner. I want to go back to Jamestown and focus on the exhibits thanks to that first chapter. If you would like to join Bluesky, just let me know. I have invite codes. I’m trying to have authors to follow.

This is another reading challenge I’m doing!

[Janet @JEHReader]

This is my new Reading Challenge for the New Year. I’m reading One Hundred Years of Solitude for January.

[Janet @JEHReader]

I failed to finish the @POPSUGAR 2023 Reading Challenge with 5 books to spare. I got the @BWBooks and @BookRiot Reading Challenge 2023 done though.

[Janet @JEHReader]

I got sick. Basically right with the onset of Christmas, I got so sick I didn’t do much reading. It’s a nasty cough now and I’m trying to read the last @BookRiot Read Harder Challenge 2023.

[Janet @JEHReader]

I finished Cry, The Beloved Country by Alan Paton for the @POPSUGAR Reading Challenge. I’m still working on To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. My current 1001 BYMRBYD list count is 171. I’m expecting to end the year with 173. Rebecca & The Marriage Plot will close out the year.

[Janet @JEHReader]

I’ve done some editing on my reading challenges after I realized that there’s no way I can read 20 odd books before the end of the year. So, I’m not reading Pachinko this year, I’ve put Half of Man Is Woman down for its challenge. There’s a shorter book for another challenge.

[Janet @JEHReader]

That’s the two changes I made to the @BookRiot Read Harder Challenge. I only have 3 left now. They are all on my TBR pile. I’ve edited the @POPSUGAR list so that I have nine books left to read. I’m working on two books with Beautiful Bastard & Rebecca for that reading challenge.

Hello @X 65 followers of myself. I am on @bluesky after getting an invite. I’m JEHReader there, same as here with the same interest in books, whimsy, etc. I’m here until you have to pay money. @praetor1983 FYI. These two apps will have different posts.

[Janet @JEHReader]

@praetor1983 I would have been there if I hadn’t been sick!
