Movie night! 😍
Couldn‘t resist had to finish tonight. Good pick #hashtagbrigade
I‘ve read this before, but reading it a chapter a day made it feel more menacing.

I've been meaning to reread this for ages, so I'm glad that the #pemberlittens #hashtagparade finally motivated to do so. It certainly hits differently as a adult than it did when I was a high schooler. 😅
Interesting to see what I'd forgotten (what a timid wet noodle our narrator is for so much of the book; how much she lives in her head; how many problems would've been avoided with some good old communication) and what stuck. Still loved it!

Mr Grumps! Also love the “you fool” in the proposal! (My husband proposed to me by making me stand outside in the snow on a balcony in the middle of taking off my scrubs and told me I looked “funny” in my thermals I wore under the scrubs before asking me to marry him). #awkwardMen

I hope I can keep up. I didn't even add #BookedinTime because I haven't even finished March's read yet. But of course I found time to make this l'il collage. 😅
Thanks for the tag, @read4life

Just the first couple chapters in, but the main character is very nostalgic.

#Treasure (BM)
My choice is a bit out there, but ... the lyrics state “I know that you don't know it
but you're fine“--just like the narrator thinks of herself in REBECCA. And Maxim de Winter finally tells her “Treasure, that is what you are; honey, you're my golden star,“ in so many words. So, hence my choice. 😍
It had an extremely slow start and the slow pace carried through the book. The novel has a lovely writing style with lush long descriptions and an intriguing plot told by an unnamed narrator. I loved the suspense and mystery, though a main thing was predictable, the reasoning and events weren't. I really enjoyed the way this novel played out, though at times I found all characters to be unlikeable, it was a good story with a sudden dramatic ending
I am super excited about these #roll100 choices! I almost picked up Rebecca last week, and the other two print choices are very tempting, too. 😎 Fear and Loathing would tick the box of classics I‘m trying to read. Looking forward to March! Plus it‘s my birthday month. 🎉🥳

Well that was GREAT! Eerie is the best word for it; I feel like I've felt so many emotions reading this, especially because of all the twists that I just wasn't expecting! I'm still on the edge of my seat and I've finished it, crikey
I was so invested in the heroine too and I loved how it got me thinking about themes like perception, time etc

It's my birthday! Check out this entirely yellow outfit I bought for myself!😂💛
Thought I'd do a little update (#BFC2022 #WinterCosy #NYWD22 @wanderinglynn @PuddleJumper @dariazeoli @monalyisha):
- To get back on track with Blogilates, I plan on doing it most days for the rest of Jan👌
- A for H - Have done most of that calendar so far!
- Yoga has also been a consistent practice - including 2 yoga classes!
- And I plan to v soon finish Rebecca!
What a WEEK! I thought I might have Covid so trekked 2 hours for a pcr test...turns out I do not have Covid but the whole shebang has left me v v tired😂 Anywho this weekend I shall be getting to page 200 of Rebecca, watch this space

Yesterday's A For H was to get moving (ideally outdoors) - I've been doing loads of Blogilates/Yoga, so I thought I'd go on a walk too - here's a blurry photo from that😂 Today's is to thank people I'm grateful for - thank you to all of you on here for being gems!💎
I'm getting through Rebecca more slowly than I'd like so tonight I want to get to at least p100!
#BFC2022 #NYWD22 #WinterCosy
Blogilates was SO much fun today!! And I'm excited for the 'Nourish' yoga session later😊 Today's Action for Happiness was to say positive things to the people I meet & my conversations have been filled with loveliness which has been nice😁 Rebecca is quite different to the books I've read recently so it took a bit to get my eye in - I'm now really enjoying it though!
All of these challenges are proving great for my health - thanks for running guys!! Tonight I typically would've worked later than I should have done but didn't because I was excited to do more for #BFC2022 #NYWD22 and #WinterCosy 😍
I've worked out and read more of Rebecca (aiming for page 50 today)! Later I plan on a yoga session & today's Action for Happiness is to take 5 min to sit still and just breathe which I'll do afterwards😊
What a phenomenal book. I‘m shocked at how much I loved this book as I usually find the classics to be a bit boring. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
After trick or treating last night I retreated to my room and finished this audiobook. It was a really good choice to finish up spooky season for me. I‘ve read it before but really appreciated the subtle background noise and music in this audio version. #20in4 book 4/6 #scarathlon #teamslaughter #littenlisten
I went to reference something in Rebecca a few days ago and realized I couldn't find my copy so I got on Thrift books to order one, found a hard cover (yay!) And it came today and LOOK how tiny it is 😍😍😍

Saying goodbye to Rebecca as we end June. It sounds like list everyone liked this one.
What are your final thoughts?
