My goal this year was to dedicate myself to reading down my unread books and not buy any books for the first half of the year. I didn‘t quite keep from buying books but 39 books off my TBR is really an accomplishment! Plus it‘s made me use the library even mor3 (which is always good). I‘m going to keep going to the end of the year. My new goal is 80 books from my TBR for 2024.
Future books from LeVar Burton!! Someone sign me up for these 2026 and 2028 pubs - especially the inspirational memoir 😍
😂😂 LeVar Burton is a national treasure.

“This summer, The New York Times sent photographers to beaches, parks, courtyards and cafes across the country to document our intrepid tradition of enjoying words and nature at the same time. Their pictures are a reminder of the magnificence and magic of this combination.”
❤️☀️❤️☀️❤️☀️
I just love the library so much!
When they ask me why I‘m not doing and work today this is how I‘ll explain. Lol
Instead of catching up on reviews 😬, I‘m taking an awkward, headless #selfie of my newest #bookishtee. 📖🌈🤩
Oooh I want to take advantage of this and I don‘t have any kids!
Preach!
Loving my new shirt!! (Ordered from Teepublic... they have so many cool designs! And can get in shirt, mug, or sticker form)

So cool!! I love LeVar!
I just wanted to share how much I love the Star Trek: TNG/Reading Rainbow crossover episode during TNG month. This link is bloopers from the season one episode Symbiosis, which is actually about drug addiction. 🤷🏻♀️

LeVar also showed how they made transporter beams (glitter in water) & some models from When the Bough Breaks in other parts of the RR episode.
Look for #StarTrekSummerJune prompts this weekend! 🖖🏻

My latest podcast obsession. It‘s also put several short story collections on my TBR

Had a pretty dismal February. Just not in the mood. Currently reading the Belles. I‘m enjoying it but also annoyed by it. But I think I finally hit the part that will keep my attention.
1. Two grey kitties ash and Goku yes my husband loves anime
2. Reading with a side of reading
3. Singing, listening to music
4. Colorado, New York and kansas (my bestie is there)
5. What would do if you won the lotto? Get a bigger home so I could build a library and a recording studio and get take out all day plus share with friends and family

Some of my earliest and fondest memories of reading are from this show. Now I can't sleep and have the theme song stuck in my head.
My niece was a huge Reading Rainbow fan. I was listening to a podcast and heard LeVar mention Skybrary so called to tell my niece about it. Guess who‘s ear got screamed in? 🤔 She‘s already created an account for her boys.

Love this !!
Holy Cow! How did I just discover this! He‘s amazing, but you don‘t have to take my word for it (I couldn‘t resist!). Anyone else listening?
So if this is on Goodreads I can count it as an #audioread, right? LeVar Burton can totally add to my read shelf!
We haven‘t had any rain, but we got a rainbow! My husband said “If you follow it to the end there‘s a Little Free Library.” 😂
Everyone always knows I‘m in for a readathon! #8intwo
😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #LitsyHumor
So I think I'm going to do this, or at least try. I do work this weekend and tomorrow I also have book club, so I'm going to count my time today (which means 4 days not 3 but I'll be in bed long before midnight). Let's get reading!

Between packing and looking for a new apartment, and then just being dead tired, I haven't really read yet this weekend. But I have been catching up on some episodes of the LeVar Burton Reads podcast. (Loved "Unassigned Territory" by Stephanie Powell Watts.) As an old Reading Rainbow fan, I get a little choked up when he signs off with "I'll see you next time. But you don't have to take my word for it." ??
Ok Last post for now 😁😁. Thanks for the tag @Jess7 ! 😘
1. Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell
2. Harry Potter. Can you believe it?!
3. City of Saints and Madmen (Vandermeer)
4. Litsy and LibraryThing (ROOTs group)
5. Robert Jackson Bennett (author); Carlos Ruiz Zafon (author); Night Film; The Fold; Slade House; Bone Gap; Tearling series; Jonas Karlsson (author)
🌈 #RecommendationRainbow
I will tag:
It's possible that I'm late to the party on this one, but is anyone else listening to the LeVar Burton Reads podcast? His voice is so soothing that I don't even really care what kind of short story he's reading to me.
Yep
Exciting Update! 💕 you Litsy and Friends!
Lol. Between working this weekend and the nasty cold I got yesterday. This is all the reading I got done. Next time, I‘ll be sure to take some PTO and maybe get myself a nice hotel room with no distractions. #24in48 #readathon
1)Anywhere.
2)Bookmark, usually. But if I don‘t have one I will use scrap paper. I will never bend pages! 😱
3)I can just stop.
4)Yes. Very often, I have a cup of tea while I read. I like popcorn as a reading snack.
5)Not unless my husband is watching something while I read.
6)One at a time. Or one on audio and one print.
7)EVERYWHERE!
8)Silently.
9)No.
10)I try to keep them looking nice.
11)Very rarely.

My TBR shelf is looking thinner than I‘ve seen it in a while. I don‘t know whether to be proud that I‘ve been reading more and buying less or frustrated that I haven‘t read more.
My reading goal for the year is an average of two books a month including four that are more than 500 pages.
