Just shy of 2 weeks post op and the stitches are out. I was able to wash my hand today and it was so freaking fantastic! 😆 4-6 more weeks in the splint.

My toxic trait is I will often not use a bookmark and just expect that I will remember exactly what page I was on. I will actually just close my book and hope for the best. I‘ve never dog-earred a book before. I also have never tried annotating besides for school, and I‘m not even sure what I would write if I did try it. I love some ambience music in the background 🎶

I got a pedicure today. Purple toes again. 💜 🦶💅
Other than that nothing new.
💜I read both in the morning and at night. I usually read with my earholes in the morning and at work, and with my eyeballs in the evening/before bed.
💜Both
💜Bookmark. I just cannot dog-ear.
💜It depends on the day and my mood. 😂
💜Annotate. After receiving many of my grandfather's old books, I found I was able to get to know him better even after he was gone by seeing his underlines, marks, and notes in his books.
1) My Grandmas Hazel and my Aunt Linda (my dad‘s mom and sister)
2) My son and daughter
3) Little Women

Thank you for the tag, @Eggs 🌻
🌻 My parents. They loved unconditionally and were present. I knew they always had my back but let me be me and make my own decisions and choices. They still do.
🌻🌻 My husband and my two children along with my parents.
🌻🌻🌻 So many but I think I‘ll go with the Weasley family this time.

I‘ve taken over large print editing duties while a colleague is on leave… and there is just so much of it 🫣 I‘ve been drinking copious amounts of peppermint tea today to cope with the two teams meetings I‘ve had to attend. The first was fine, a survey for public libraries Victoria but the second was about the new timesheet system which would maybe look impressive if you hadn‘t interacted with any technology beyond Windows XP.

Last week I started thinking about when music made an impression and my first strong music memory. This is the song that jumped out. I don‘t recall music in my home until later but my best friend‘s mother had the best records and we would sing along and dance.

#WomensPrizeShortlist
Here are my picks in anticipation of tomorrow‘s shortlist announcement. I just started The Maiden and haven‘t read The Wren, The Wren or A Trace of Sun. I chose not to read Hangman and The Blue, Beautiful World.
Yes because we will read it … even if I‘m a 👻 I‘ll still be reading 📖
Meet Michael the Manatee.
Now to get back to reading and put up some reviews.

The past week has been unbearably stressful with several deaths in the family/extended family, some political upheaval overseas that affects my family profoundly, a major holiday dawning and some health issues… so it‘s no surprise that I‘m projecting my mind into next month in all the little ways possible, hoping that another week will make the world seem lighter. #bookspin #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks
Every time I go into a bookstore 📚📚🤦🏼♀️
I think I might have posted this here before but I just have to keep my dreams alive… I want to go here some day and just sit outside with a book and read all day 📚📖🙌🏽
Nothing makes me happier than gazing at the newly released MG/YA books at the library…🥰📚💝
Then I meander to the children‘s area to see all the newly released picture books 📚 And when the librarian is helping kids find books, I often help the littler ones find crayons, coloring pages etc…

Rumpel is such a good little helper! 😻 I'm training her to help me sort books! But of course she's more interested in getting a treat afterwards! 🤭💕📚 #catsoflitsy #littenkitten #rumpel
If you haven‘t read any of these books, check out the reviews below.
You most likely will be adding them to your TBR.

Hey Littens! Guess What? I have finished more books for My #BookishMonopoly.
I enjoyed all of these books. I think my heart loved Harley Quinn the most. I could say she's my spirit animal, but does that make me a villain??? haha
As always, feel free to join in with me on my #BookishMonopoly Journey. Everyone is welcome at anytime. I don't do mine month to month. Its just when I feel like playing/reading.
Back from taking hubby to the airport. A great day for peace and quiet to peruse the #CampLitsy longlist.

Combined #BookReport and #WeeklyForecast :
I completed two books last week - Mr. Churchill‘s Secretary was a reread for my IRL book club, and I found I did not enjoy it as much the second time through as I did the first. 🤷🏻♀️
This week, I‘ll continue to make my way through #buddyread titles and knock off some titles from my to read list.
