#TomeTopple Update! I finished my second tome almost three hours ago with my reading buddy on Twitter. #OrangeTheCompleteCollection Volume 2 was pretty good! I really enjoyed the story told in #Orange. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! 😄❤ . . . . I do wish we could have been told more about the changed future for Naho, Suwa, Kakeru, Azu, Taka, and Hagita. But I'll still give this story four stars. 😊⭐⭐⭐⭐❤ . . . . After Orange, there was a short story called #HaruiroAstronaut. It was rather confusing, as two of the guys were drawn such that they looked almost exactly like Kakeru and Suwa! And the main characters - twins, Chiki and Mami - looked like a cross between Naho and Azu! And not all of the characters could tell the twins apart, so there was confusion there, too. I'd give this story maybe 3.5 stars, but the whole book is going to get four stars. 😊❤ . . . . I'm also still reading For a Few Demons More by Kim Harrison. You can see it in Photo Two! I didn't read much yesterday, and I've read even less today, but I'm going to read more now, while my Max sleeps beside me. 😍❤😍 . . . . #TomeTopple7 Stats to Date: ~1,046 pages read (plus 102 in For a Few Demons More), 2 books completed, 3 reading challenges DONE! 😄🎉📚❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #IchigoTakano #KimHarrison #books #OrangeVolume2 #ForaFewDemonsMore #series #OrangeManga #TheHollows https://www.instagram.com/p/BqeFKT4DeMq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=akx31kef0q4o

This is November 19th's post for the #TomeTopple #TomeToppleChallenge - #PreviouslyToppledTomes - and #jayjaysbookishbirthday - #AllPlannedOut - AND #bookscoasttocoastnov - #SquadGoals! 😄😍❤ . . . . For today's daily #TomeTopple7 challenge, my Previously Toppled Tomes that I both own and still have from the library are on the right. They're stacked in order from most recently read to first read, top to bottom. 😄😍❤ . . . . On top is the tome I finished just last night: #OrangeTheCompleteCollection Volume 1 by #IchigoTakano! Then we have #HarryPotterSeries books seven through Four, which were read in #TomeTopple6. And on the bottom we have #CrimsonDeath by #LaurellKHamilton and #TheNameoftheWind by #PatrickRothfuss , which were read in August of 2017's Tome Topple, my first. 😊😍❤ . . . . The only two of these editions that I've actually read are the first volume of Orange: The Complete Collection and Crimson Death. The others were all purchased after the Tome Topples in which I read them. 😊❤ . . . . For #jayjaysbookishbirthday All Planned Out task, I present to you my Plan for Reading #Orange! I read Volume 1 over three days - one Part per day - and I'm tentatively planning to read Volume 2 the same way! If my buddy read partner agrees. 😊❤ . . . . And for #bookscoasttocoastnov Squad Goals task, I present to you the two squads in my #CurrentReads! In Orange, Volume 2, the friendship between Naho, Kakeru, Suwa, Hagita, Azu, and Taka is fabulous! I especially loved how they all contributed to a special message to give to Kakeru in the relay race. 😍❤ . . . . And in #ForaFewDemonsMore by #KimHarrison, I would love to count Rachel Morgan, Ivy Tamwood, and Jenks among my friends. Their friendship is #GOALS, too! 😄😍❤ . . . . Lastly, it's now technically 12:10a on November 20th. I apologize for posting my November 19th post late, but I was participating in a reading sprint and it only ended at 11:45p. And I'm not the fastest typer on my phone's tiny keyboard. 😕 . . . . I was reading For a Few Demons More by Kim Harrison in the sprint, though, and I made it to page 66! Now to finish Chapter Five and then I can go to sleep. Good night! 😄😴 https://www.instagram.com/p/BqZK2CCHaf8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lnsl6oyv5ncw

#TomeTopple Update! I finished my non-tome book at about 9:20a on Sunday, November 18th! I read some of it - much of Book One and part of Book Two - and listened to the rest. I think I listened to it more than I read it. 😊😍❤ . . . . This audio edition performed by Frank Muller was EXCELLENT. I give his performance five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐❤ . . . . The story gets just four stars from me. I never laughed or cried while reading it, so even with Mr. Muller's excellent narration, I only really - REALLY - enjoyed this story. But that's an improvement on my three-star ratings for books one and two! 😄⭐⭐⭐⭐❤ . . . . Max is in the second and third photos. These pictures have already been shared on here, but they show the physical book, so I'm sharing them again. 😍❤😍 . . . . It's now after 10:15a and since I stayed up all night and into the morning to finish this book, I'm going to sleep. Good night! Or rather, Good Day! I'm gonna sleep! 😄❤😴😴😴 . . . . Just so's you know, I did read Letters 7 and 8 in Orange: The Complete Collection, Volume 1 last night. I finished the 17th's allotment at about 11:30p on the 17th. I'll finish this book when I'm again awake. For now... Sleep! 😴😴😴😴😴😴 . . . . #DogsofInstagram #TomeTopple7 #bookstagram #StephenKing #FrankMuller #books #TheWasteLands #series #TheDarkTower #TheDarkTowerSeries https://www.instagram.com/p/BqVHf4GHWCb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16em39hg3pnhv

This post is also for #jayjaysbookishbirthday - #TravellingBook - and #bookscoasttocoastnov - #bookcrown - AND the #TomeToppleChallenge - #ReadingSpot! 😄😍❤ . . . . I am reading The Waste Lands by Stephen King - and also Orange: The Complete Collection, Volume 1 by Ichigo Takano (not pictured) - on the couch in the living room. My legs are covered by two blankets because it gets chilly this close to the window. 😄❤ . . . . My #bookcrown is rather awkward, don't you think? But it hopefully work. I used the illustrated pages in this book to make the low dips and the pages between the illustrations are the spires. 😍❤ . . . . The book in this photo is, of course, my #CurrentRead, #TheWasteLands by #StephenKing! It's my #TravellingBook for Jay's challenge! Because in this book, Roland, Susannah, Eddie, and Jake (!!!) are travelling to the Dark Tower. On foot no less! Turn to Photo Two to see the cover of The Waste Lands with my Max. 😄😍❤ . . . . Did I tell you that I finished Book One - Jake last night? I finished it at just before 7:00p on November 16th. That put me beyond the halfway point! How did I accomplish this miracle of reading 157 pages in this book in one day? Why, by getting the audiobook from @audible! 😄❤ . . . . Listening while reading along greatly helped me make progress in this story. 😊❤ . . . . Last night I also read the first four of 12 Letters in #OrangeTheCompleteCollection Volume 1! In other words, I am a third of the way done with the first compendium of Orange! I reached this goal at 10:15p on the 16th. 😄❤ . . . . Tonight I'd love to finish The Waste Lands, but probably I'll still be reading it come tomorrow. I'm also hoping to read Letters 7 and 8 in Orange, having read Letters 5 and 6 earlier this afternoon. Then I'll be on target to finish my first tome for #TomeTopple7 tomorrow! 😄❤ . . . . Since it's now 6:53p here, I'd best get to reading! 😄📚🎉❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #TomeTopple #CurrentlyReading #ReadingWithDogs #bookstagram #books #series #TheDarkTower #TheDarkTowerSeries https://www.instagram.com/p/BqTc9rNHh63/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x32bmrkhqt3c

Today's November 16th photo serves THREE purposes! #JayJaysbookishbirthday - #FantasyFun - and #bookscoasttocoastnov - #FlatlayFriday - AND the #TomeToppleChallenge - #TomeToppleTBR! 😄😍❤ . . . . #TomeTopple7 started almost 20 hours ago for me, at midnight on November 16th! It runs through 11:59p on November 29th. And these times are for you, too, in whatever time zone you're in! 😄❤ . . . . The books in the first photo are what I'm mostly hoping to read in this round of #TomeTopple. #TheWasteLands by #StephenKing is NOT a tome in this edition (422 pages), but I'm still reading it, so that's why it's in this #TBR Photo. Earlier today I made it past the halfway point! Tomorrow I'll start Book Two on page 219. 😄😍❤ . . . . I stopped reading The Waste Lands at dinnertime so as to start my first tome, #OrangeTheCompleteCollection: Volume 1, by #IchigoTakano! I'm hoping to finish this book no later than Sunday so that I can start Volume 2 on Monday! 😄😍❤ . . . . I'm also planning on reading the next three Hollows series books by #KimHarrison during this two-week 'thon. #ForaFewDemonsMore (512pp), #TheOutlawDemonWails (496pp), and #WhiteWitchBlackCurse (549pp) aren't all +500-page books, but The Outlaw Demon Wails is close and since together the three books add up to 1,557 pages, I'm going to count all three as Tome Topple reads! 😄😍❤ . . . . Lastly, #It by Stephen King is in this photo, too. I'm still on page 251 in it, having read NOTHING since November 4th. 🙈😕 I'd kinda like to finish it this month, so a Tome Topple read it might be. 🤔 . . . . For #FantasyFun, all but one of these books are fantastical in some way. Do you know all of their genres? 🤔😄😍❤ . . . . And for #FlatlayFriday, it should be obvious that I laid the books flat on my bed for this photo! 😄😍❤ . . . . Turn to Photo Two if you'd like to see my Max looking at me! I had to pretend to fall forward onto the bed to get this shot. 🤣😍❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #books #series #CurrentRead #TheDarkTower #TheDarkTowerSeries #CurrentlyReading #Orange #OrangeSeries #TheHollows #TheHollowsSeries https://www.instagram.com/p/BqRBn1nHJbN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rvchm8gm6dj5
