This year has been a pretty good year for me, reading wise. I am almost to 150 which is a personal record. Some of that is probably due to Litsy and the recommendations I‘ve seen! Also, with my husband losing his job reading has a been a good escape.

But I am so grateful for this community!! ❤️ you guys are amazing!

I went to go visit BookPeople in Austin on Tuesday as part of a pre-birthday celebration with my husband and I wrote this haiku for their poetry wall. 😜🎂 #PoetryMatters #Fear

CarolynM Yeah, 30 felt really significant to me too. The next 2 decade birthdays haven't felt like that though😂 (edited) 6y
slategreyskies 30 was very very hard for me. So much so that I remember waiting up the evening before my birthday and then leaving the house at around quarter til midnight. I went out walking down this tiny country road with no street lights and just the light of the stars to guide me. I remember I was crying. When midnight came, I was on a one lane road in the middle of farmland, the stars brilliant above me. I survived it after all. ❤️ 6y

MatchlessMarie @CarolynM So many of my friends are telling me their 30s were better than their 20s! 😄🤞 6y
MatchlessMarie @slategreyskies Aww I can identify with that feeling of being lost. I‘m glad you made it through 💙 6y
MatchlessMarie Thanks to everyone else for the birthday well wishes. Just now catching up on Litsy notifications. It‘s already almost December, but I feel like I‘m still stuck somewhere in October. Wild. 😅 @erzascarletbookgasm @squirrelbrain @ephemeralwaltz @JoScho @CocoReads @LauraBeth @Librarybelle @julesG @AmyG @Kaye @JessClark78 @CaroPi @LazyDays @Ddzmini @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @mrp27 @RowReads1 @Elma @dragondrool 6y

Had lovely time meeting some local littens today! Great conversation with super cool bookish folk. I also acquired some fab new books (more on that later). Looking forward to more meet ups. 😁

Thanks @Soubhiville for coordinating!

BookPeople (not pictured) may be the #indiebookstore I go to the most frequently, but my city is host to quite a few great indie bookstores! I visited almost all of them last August when I was doing a bit of hometown #bookstoretourism - good times! 😃 #aprilbookshowers

Suet624 How wonderful that you have so many to choose from. Where is this?? 8y
Suet624 Oh, Austin? 8y
Eyelit @Suet624 yup! 😃 8y

StellarDoc Are you doing the Austin Book Crawl today? 8y
Eyelit @StellarDoc I just found out about it yesterday - so it's not in the cards this year (but I'm so going to plan for it next year!). Are you in town and participating? 8y
StellarDoc @Eyelit Not this year. I'm participating in a panel at the Dallas Book Festival. I hope to do the Bookstore Crawl next Hesse 8y
StellarDoc (Whoops!) next year, though. 8y
Eyelit @StellarDoc good luck with the panel! If you want a litsy partner in crime for next year's book crawl let me know 😄 8y
StellarDoc @Eyelit I absolutely will! 8y
Zelma Ooh, a friend recently asked me to do a "nerdy girls trip". We were going to hit up a book festival, but store hopping in Austin might be just as good. ? 8y
Eyelit @Zelma indeed! It would be super fun 😃 8y
