I had an appointment this morning and spent most of the afternoon working on a puzzle, so I‘m a little late to #two4tuesday

1. No, but I realized that I need to revamp my wishlist.
2. Maybe? I ordered a book for my brother-in-law but haven‘t heard from the bookstore. I‘d rather get it from them than from the big company.

TheSpineView Thanks for playing 2y

The List of my Desires | Gregoire Delacourt
post image

I find that for quite a few years now I can't listen to a lot of Lennon's songs. This is one of them. There's an underlined dark tone to some of them that makes me so uncomfortable as a woman. YMMV
Desires, jealousy often go hand in hand so I chose this really popular book that I didn't really enjoyed in its original French language. #marchintothe70s @Cinfhen @Lizpixie

There are 76 books on my Goodreads #wishlist.

There are a lot of items on that mental #wishlist I've been compiling for years. Some things I'll never get, like a fully functioning time turner, but I'm still allowed to dream of getting one, right?

Still reading in French. I'm reading past bestsellers that were very popular with the patrons at my library. I bought at least 10 copies of Delacourt's novel back in 2013. I read in the original version if possible of a book. That's my preference. Translated english books in French are usually pretty awful. Delacourt's book didn't live up the hype. I found it boring. Short and boring. Onward to the next one.#readinginfrench

I ❤️ the idea by @julesG and I have cleaned up my TBR list (at least the first 100 books or so!) to include only books I don't own. My Amazon wish list is another good place to check. But feel free to surprise me too!! #summersantagoespostal Background photo from our beautiful backyard at the lake. Was a lovely surprise when we got there this weekend.

erzascarletbookgasm What flowers/plant is that? I've never seen it in my country. 8y
Texreader @erzascarletbookgasm I don't know! We just recently bought the house and it is so much fun watching the flowers bloom in our backyard. The gold is pollin and the hummingbirds love this plant. As do I. Litsy gardeners: can you identify this flower?? 8y
julesG How's the sorting going? 8y

elkeOriginal Ah, yes - cleaning my Litsy TBR was my first task too when I realized my match would look and not know I owned many of them! 8y
ApoptyGina69 We had that plant/shrub at my mom's house in the '70s. She called it bottle brush. 8y
elkeOriginal @erzascarletbookgasm My mother the gardener says it is a Bottlebrush. She has one trained to be a tree, but it can be a bush too. 8y
Texreader @ApoptyGina69 @elkeo Thank you for identifying this flower in my yard. We have a row of them but only a couple are blooming and the one in the photo is the most photogenic! I did notice hummingbirds love it. Thanks again. Now I know what I have! 8y
erzascarletbookgasm Thank u @elkeo and mommy for the identity of the flower :) 8y

Dear #SummerSantaGoesPostal stalker, I will spend some time today, to update my Goodreads lists, so you can see, which books on my TBR I already own. 😉

Martta This seems to be going around. I just cleaned up my TBR list on Litsy. 😁 8y
Wife For now, I think I will take books I own off of my Litsy TBR. It's probably easier for me than most Littens, because for the most part, I rely on library books. Just hope to make this easier for my match. 🌹 8y
julesG @Martta It something I should have done ages ago, the goodreads lists. But I will not attack "the Litsy list of doom" today. ;))) 8y
See All 11 Comments
julesG @Wife That's also a good idea. Still, see above. ;) 8y
Martta I think it's wise to do this in stages. The most important things in life must be thought over with care. 😁 8y
scripturient How do I delete titles from my Litsy TBR list? I can only change then to reading or have read. 😕🤔 8y
Wife @scripturient When the TBR is bolded, just tap and it will un-bold. (edited) 8y
scripturient @Wife Aaaaaaah! 😃 Thank you!! So easy and yet so difficult to find. 😂 8y
Texreader Love this idea! 8y
Gissy That's a good idea! I wish my litten friend could do the same! It's always excited and scary to know what books the person will like. And I should do it to help the person who I'm her/his litten. 8y
julesG @Gissy I found it well worth the effort. And it made me realise how many books I still have to read. ;) 8y

What would you do if you won the lottery? A 47-yr old housewife/business owner suddenly finds she wins the jackpot lottery of 18 million euros; but before cashing it, she tells no one and begins to evaluate her life. Does she wants her life to change? A well written novella that makes you think about dreams and fears; happiness and lies. Melancholy and easy to relate to, I came away with mixed emotions.

This was an odd, short read. It was not what I expected from the blurb, however I did really enjoy it. The stream of consciousness style writing worked really well here. And despite it not being a literary read, it had some powerful things to say about contentment, joy, wealth, and love.

I really enjoyed this book. It would make for a great beach read. It's small but surprisingly had me talking about it at length with my husband. I think it would make for a great book club discussion.

anwade88 I have this on hold at the library! Excited to get it! 9y
BellaBookNook @anwade88 Let me know what you think. I never heard of this book but I am glad I found it. I still keep talking about it so it packs a punch. 9y

"Being rich means seeing all that's ugly and having the arrogance to think you can change things. All you have to do is pay for it." This little boom is surprising me with little gems of wisdom that never occurred to me when I daydream about winning the lottery,
