We have a Magpie rhyme called 'One for Sorrow' in the UK, apparently it dates back to the 16th century. When you see magpies, the number relates to the thing in the rhyme, eg: Two for Joy, so you can expect joy in your life soon. I think it's like an old wives tale but most British people will know it and say it when we see magpies. 😆🐦

I have a tattoo of a pair of magpies for this reason. Can’t just have one!

[@ReadingWryly]

Very cool.

Your face when you say "full of female rage" 😂👌🙌🔥

I've got Full Immersion on my shelf so I am even more excited to read that now. And I agree, the audiobook of Fantasticland was amazing!

[@ReadingWryly]

FantasticLand is seriously one of THE BEST audiobooks. So good. I hope you enjoy Full Immersion!

I'm currently reading The Husbands, and yes... I'm definitely going to ask for more help from mine! Also we're not obsessed with magpies as such, there are a lot in England but its more to do with the old nursery rhyme/prophecy, so depending on how many you see when you're out you follow the below One for sorrow, Two for joy, Three for a girl, Four for a boy, Five for silver, Six for gold, Seven for a secret, Never to be told. Eight for a wish, Nine for a kiss, Ten a surprise you should be careful not to miss, Eleven for health, Twelve for wealth, Thirteen beware, it’s the devil himself.

Funny that I only know that rhyme because of Ruth Ware’s The Death of Mrs. Westaway. 😅

[@ReadingWryly]

Ahh! Omg that’s terrifying! I’d never heard that. Thank you! ❤️🙌🏻

[@ReadingWryly]

Oh!!! It’s been so long since I’ve read that, but it is my favorite Ruth Ware.

[@nazhopkins5825]

@@Zangerstein adding that my tbr. Have not read enough Ruth Ware!

[@Zangerstein]

@@nazhopkins5825 I think it was Ruth Ware’s best (from what I’ve read). I hope you’ll like it 😊

[@michaelmyerslovesbooks]

Wait, what?!??? The Power is a show, starring the queen, T Collette?!! 🤯 I starting it tonight!! Thank you for the info. I've been meaning to start the Power the book, but now I'm gonna do them in reverse.

[@ReadingWryly]

Omg, yes! Amazon Prime. You get to binge it because season one is finished! ❤️🙌🏻

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Maeve Fly sounds so interesting…

[@ReadingWryly]

Agreed! I hope I like it. 🤞

[@brooklinslibrary]

I hope you like Rouge! I read it back in June (got the arc form netgalley). Cant wait to hear your thoughts! I'm reading Mary now! Only on 30ish % and loving it!

[@ReadingWryly]

Ooh yay! I hope you enjoy Mary!

[@MlleGhoul]

Gahhh so many thoughts! Maeve Fly was probably my favorite book so far this year! And UGH, how have I still not read Mary? AND Nat Cassidy's got a new one coming out soon, too, right? ALSO have you read Victor LaValle's Lone Women yet? That one definitely made me cry (but I was also very raw from watching the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie, parts of which ripped my heart to shreds and omg how did Disney greenlight that movie?!) And thank you so much for mentioning The Art of Darkness, what a thrill! Did you know that Alex Eckman-Lawn did the cover for Carmen Maria Machado's In The Dream House, too? Sorry if I already mentioned that, but I just remember getting so excited when she announced the cover, like HEY I KNOW THAT ART!

[@ReadingWryly]

Well, shit. If you loved Maeve Fly, I definitely need to get to it soon! I haven’t heard about a new one yet from Nat Cassidy, but that’s exciting! I’ve still not seen the new Guardians or read alone Women. Adding to the list. And no, I didn’t realize In The Dream House was the same artist. How cool! Loved that one. ❤️🙌🏻

[@marzipan9]

I am currently reading Cutting Teeth by Chandler Baker and OBSESSED. I just can't believe these parents just going along with the whole blood thing. I'm just like...what? WHAT? You have some great books on this list, and I also cannot WAIT for Rouge. I have loved every single one of Mona Awad's books and she's just so much fun to follow on instagram. She also came and talked with a bookclub I'm in when we read All's Well and she is just so nice, too.

[@ReadingWryly]

😂 on Cutting Teeth. That is so awesome that Mona Awad came to your book club!!

[@tammyripp998]

The Force of Such Beauty is a great book that has been under the radar for too long, thanks for featuring and being "verbose" about it! 😉😍

[@ReadingWryly]

I actually started reading it a couple of days ago. It’s not what I expected so far but if it’s going where I think it’s going…👀 Thanks for watching as always, Tammy! 🙌🏻❤️

[@AnnaRak423]

Lessons in Chemistry was a huge surprise for me this year. Loved it! My favourite of the year so far!! I will definitely look into the Stephen King series as a few people have mentioned Mr. Mercedes to me. Thanks for the video!

[@ReadingWryly]

Awesome! Thanks for watching. ❤️

[@mikalareads]

Omg I loved your review of "the husbands"!!! This one sounds right up my alley as well as "full immersion" is totally a 5 star prediction for me 🫢👏💯💕🫶 NO WAY I love that you are having Kayla come on in October that's amazing Elizabeth!!! I can't wait to hear yall discuss rouge I will be there! I can't wait to get a copy of rouge and annotate it up, SO EXCITED!!!

[@ReadingWryly]

Yes! Both of those sound like books you would enjoy! 🤞❤️ Thank you! I can’t believe she said yes! Not me fangirling. Can’t wait for Rouge!
