Welcome to Litsy!

1. I already took my "summer vacation" back in March, when I went to the Philippines. That pretty much used up my vacation time and PTO for 2023. I do hope to take a mini vacation in October for my 60th birthday.
2. Tagged! I'm not a seasonal reader, but I do tend to read lighter, more upbeat books in the summer.
#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

This book was a good adventure. I really didn‘t think much of it. It was one of those waiting in line at the library and just grabbed it kind of thing but loved it.

I. I am not sure? I‘ve not read one intentionally knowing it was from a fellow Litten.
II. Nope 😊 this is it!
III. I was originally thinking Children of Blood and Bone, but I believe that is already in the works, so the tagged, Summerland! I think it would be an interesting imaginative movie to see. Would love to see the interpretation.

Thanks for the tag @Eggs !!

Good fantastical adventure of changes, dealing with the inevitable loss and sadness of life, and saving the end of the Worlds from the grips of Coyote. Made me tear up a few times and brought smiles of hope and love to my heart. I really enjoyed this 💚 #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

1. My kids do not have school till April 13. My work is essential employees only and work from home if you are essential (me 😒) until tbd. My husband‘s small business will surely take a hit. We‘re thinking about driving cross country to my mom‘s.
2. Questionable
3. Nah... all the parades cancelled
4. Summerland, and audio-Malcolm Nance, Defeating ISIS
5. Last night we watched the 2019 Jumanji. It‘s alright. #randosurvey @laurenslibrary

This is one of my oldest sister's favorites. She gave it as a gift to my NOS when he was an “appropriate age.“ I like fantasy, including children's/YA. This is an adequate/decent representative of the genre—nothing extraordinary. The writing didn't create the excitement level it should have in relation to the plot.

I have two books up for grabs. I have no one to pass these on to. Both are hard cover and in excellant condition. I am sure some Litten would like them. Maybe for a classroom or children. If you would like 1 or both email me at lisa@thespineview.com. First come, first served!

Repost for @Andrew65 :
To celebrate Summer we are having a special #24B4Monday Readathon the last weekend in Aug, & this time it will run the extra day to give even more time to clock up those hours & minutes. As an added theme let‘s read some books on a Summer theme - beach reads, books set in Summer, Summer in the title, books that make you happy like a Summer‘s day, etc😂If in the Southern Hemisphere feel free to read Summer or Winter books.

It's here, it's time, it's the summer #24in48! This is our favorite weekend, and you're our favorite people to spend it with. Head over to 24in48.com to get all the info you need to start things off right, find everything you're looking for, and fill out the intro survey so we know where to find you and where you're reading from this weekend! Now, settle in, crack those spines, and start those timers. We'll check in with y'all in a few hours!
