Van Gogh's Ear: The True Story | 
My #tuesdaytunes selections this week are picked from a relatively new spotify feature (capitalizing on the success of their year end wrap up): On Repeat. Linked below are four of on my current On Repeat that I have yet to get tired of:
*Phoebe Bridgers' Funeral
https://open.spotify.com/track/3rJDsZjIaCfJQSqRUvl0BM?si=93493112cc754fec
*Band of Horses: No One's Gonna Love You

Political post - fingers crossed for Wisconsin 🤞
#StartASpark

Hello My Lovely Littens. Happy 1st of April and #StartASpark day. Today we will be talking about adaptations. I love finding out that something I have watched/ am watching has been written in book form. I try to make note of it so I can go look into later. These 6 books were turned into tv shows. I tried to find ones that aren't talked about a lot.
What are some of your favorite show adaptations? What do you wish was turned into a show?

#ClearMyShelves
I‘m happy with the books (audio, e, physical) I‘ve been able to clear off of my #Roll100 lists YTD.
There were so many positive comments left on my post last night that I think it‘s worth making this official.
This is very low key—no tag list, so feel free to participate how often you would like. I am reading one nonfiction a month that looks beyond the history found in schools.
If you would like to participate, post your book and thoughts each month, using #RealHistory and/or #HonestHistory . I‘ll make a bibliography for those interested.
It's April and this year is flying by!
Here's my April #Bookspin list ready to go.
Since I finished my chunky book yesterday, I am a bit behind but welcome another couple of books to my TBR Cart!

I wasn't very consistent this month, I either read nothing or loads.
It wasn't a great month physically, emotionally or mentally. I think I read a bit more to cope with that and since I have now time when I was ill

My list for April's #ReadYourKindle
Read 1 from March's list & it turned out to be quite a good read.
@CBee
One outstanding book this month and several meh books
I hit my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin and at least one #Roll100 pick
I owned everything except Running Close to the Wind which was a library book and I donated the Heroes of Olympus books
I did buy the Trials of Apollo series but that will likely also be donated when I read it. My library doesn‘t have the entire series

April is National Poetry Month and #QueerBC has voted to read the works of Ocean Vuong!
A Vietnamese American poet, essayist, and novelist, his poems often explore transformation, desire, and violent loss
We also voted on several individual poems. The two favourite poems…
I only just now noticed the two orange covers and two green covers from my reads this week. #bookreport but no #weeklyforecast
Sunday evening chores are done early, and Zeke and the others are resting, so I can sneak in a #hyggehour tonight. Reading this month‘s #LiteraryCrew title—I know, discussion is tomorrow and I barely put a dent into the book! Current candle is Yankee Candle Black Cherry. My mood is exhausted and stressed; hopefully my weighted blanket will help (and I may have to take a nap).

It was wonderful to take some time and plan out my April #BookSpinBingo list. Hopefully, I can tackle it! The last two months have not been good for sticking to reading lists…

Love this short clip about in justice.
Justice is not justice unless it is for all human beings. Every creed, every color, every religion, every gender, every sexual orientation…Every.Single.Person.
The #Bookfair in #Leipzig was absolutely massive this weekend - they got a new record with 300.000 visitors! The lines at the popular Romance & Fantasy sections were huge, and it was extremely crowded. I definitely won‘t visit again on Saturday, there is just too much noise and people. Still, a fun experience!
My husband hung up my newly framed prints along with the Pride & Prejudice poster that was my “design inspiration” for my home office/library 🥰 (Please don‘t look too closely at how level they are. Our house is older and the walls are not square, we did our best 😆)
I've been having a Hygge kinda day, celebrating Mother‘s Day with my teens. 🍾
I'm not sure what I'll be reading tonight but I will definitely be continuing the hygge mood for our #HyggeHour Readathon.
Happy Mother's Day 💐
