Out on may 21st! North American edition will be using imperial measurements, British edition will be using metric. Photo from Frida Ramstedt's instagram @ trendenser. I'm loving the swedish edition, it's such a great complement to The Interior Design Handbook.

Homemade Arepas filled with Carne Mechada, black beans, and cheese for #FoodAndLit #Venezuela
These were delicious! But we did make the arepas a bit too thin, so they were very hard to cut to fill. We will likely make these again though and keep in mind that they need to be slightly thicker!
I‘m joining @Andrew65 for the #AwesomeApril Readathon.
I‘m going to finish up two current reads in April and then on to May and some books I‘m really looking forward to reading.
Didn‘t see this in the database, but it‘s available for free on Audible with my membership, so I thought why not give it a listen. Indeed, some of the best known poems are included, but there were also some I hadn‘t heard/read before. I‘m not a huge poetry girl but this was enjoyable!
#pop24 - a collection of at least 24 poems

I could have written down a few more things, it was an interesting week.
#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii
1) Coffee
2j Great Thai food/dinner with a friend
3) While I don‘t agree with all their choices, I am thrilled I only have 1 to read before the winner is announced.
4) The trip down memory lane that #TuesdayTunes has started me on
5) A quiet house but the anticipation of seeing my husband back tomorrow.
Bonus: Really loving the time #5JoysFriday is giving me to reflect on my week.

I understand needing the joy, @DebinHawaii
What I discovered while putting this together was that even though it was a very difficult and challenging week, I have so much to be joyful and thankful for.
Want to play @julesG @Andrew65 @KadaGul
I used to buy books rarely, almost exclusively getting them from the library, but during the pandemic I started buying them, and now it's getting out of hand. I mentioned this to my spouse, who noted that I've been getting books from the library again. "You're not buying them anymore, right? You just have the ones we own to pare down?"
All I can say is that I must be giving books away fairly well, if he hasn't noticed that we keep getting more.

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.

#ThisorThat #ReaderEdition
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 🎶
#WhatsNewWednesday @Read4life @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TieDyeDude
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.
