pickThis third novelette in the series ties things up, but leaves the ends out. I don‘t think there needs to be another book, but I know I‘ll think about this family and wonder what they‘re doing and know that they‘re happy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#StartASpark
Hello Littens. This is the official start to a new adventure on here. I am starting the Hashtag #StartASpark to hopefully help myself and others figure out what to read. I will try to post anything and everything book related such as prompts, quizzes, actual books, articles, etc. Anything I can get my hands on to help. I love to help a fellow book lover out when I can. ⬇
#NationalLoveYourPetDay Really? I love them everyday ! Tom Tom , currently the oldest gentleman cat !
Hey there Littens. I have been thinking i need to be back on here more. I only post maybe once or twice a month. Also want to be able to help some of u if u are in a slump or dont know what to read. I know I already do #BookishMonopoly, but thought I could do some type of weekly prompt or something to spark a fuse to inspire someone to pick up a book. Would that be something u guys would want?? What day would be good to post?? What Hashtag??
You have until February 26 to download copies of your kindle books, after that Amazon will remove the ability to download books to files you can control yourself,Bezoes has already
deleted some banned books, also some digital books are being edited even on books that have been purchased, what does this mean for the future of ebooks when books can be changed on a whim I would worry history could be written differently! This is sickening 🤬
I love the new bag design! 😊

National Poetry Month is April in the USA and October in the UK
I wanted to do an extra poetry focused thing for #QueerBC. I could do 2 but I'm also concerned that October often has #Scarathlon and other reading challenges. It could be a bit much!
So, April, October, or both?
pickI didn‘t see this one in the database. We‘re supposed to get snow today in NC so I wanted to start my morning with a fun Frozen audiobook! 😁
In case you didn't see it already #Kindle users have until the 26th https://www.theverge.com/news/612898/amazon-removing-kindle-book-download-transf...
About one to four million books are born in the USA each year, depending if self-published books are counted.
I learned this last week during an interesting conversation.
Feel like I should have been curious enough to research about this fact years ago.
Has me contemplating some things...🧐🤔💫📚💝.
Just over halfway through February, I've finally posted about my January reading! (And also about my cats.)

I met a friend for lunch today, and we then went to the local Barnes and Noble after. I‘ve not been inside my local store since before 2020, so was amazed by the transformation (so much better layout) and the number of people shopping. Books are powerful!
I splurged heavy—book therapy is a thing—and walked away with these gems plus another copy of the Constitution, because it‘s good to have on hand. Free tote too with my membership!
I was cranking along through books but stalled out to go away for a weekend race with friends so not as many books the past two weeks as I‘d anticipated. #bookreport #weeklyforecast And yes, I‘m a day late again. 😂

TODAY‘S PROMPT: GALENTINE‘S DAY
Do you have a best girlfriend?
I love the StoryGraph and the stats are the best. However, I really hate this stat. I wish I could turn it off. (It looks ok now but by December the number will be much higher.)
I saw this trend going around and decided to join in! Looks like pinterest knows me pretty well! 😏
#literallymycharacter @TheBookHippie
Fellow Littens!
Talk to me about StoryGraph. Do I need it? What even is it?
I never liked that other one...good reads? can't remember (peri-brain!!!)
#FeelinTheLove
Day 12. Crazy love
#CrazyLove
I think I got 11 & 12 switched around on accident. Oops! 😅
Watched the first SNL anniversary special, so tonight watching the second during #hyggehour with hubby & our cats.
#QueerBC March author is Bushra Rehman with over 50% of the votes!
Drop recommendations or comments below. This is a new author for me so looking forward to seeing what people read and what they think
How are you all getting on with February's author Akwaeke Emezi?
I've created a SG book club for anyone interested - https://app.thestorygraph.com/book_clubs/ec1d5a86-5de9-4315-a128-fcab4d27c31d
How could I restist? 😆 I think Pinterest really got me. And yeah, me eating ice cream all year round is a thing. Love the third one 😉

First I walk around looking at my bookshelves and sigh dramatically. Then I pick up a few books, read a few pages and lounge on the couch consumed by ennui. Sometimes I‘ll scroll through Litsy looking for inspiration. Or I‘ll avoid looking at my bookshelves because I feel guilty. I‘ll look over my TBR and wonder what the purpose of it even is anymore. And then finally some book appeals and I‘m reading again.
You won‘t want to miss this week of bookish posts.
Hope you can drop by.

Couldn‘t resist checking out these three this morning at the library. The only one I didn‘t know about was ‘Burn‘. Hot list…appropriate for these times.
