Welcome to Litsy!

Thursday flowers a la @Cinfhen 💕

Much needed this week. My step sister is in hospice and going through her last days. We weren‘t super close but I‘ve been visiting her a lot and cooking for her over the past three months. It was a gift to have that time in retrospect. She‘s in a coma now so I think she‘s out of pain - we‘re all in this waiting space. 🌸🌼🌻🌷🌹

1. An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir 😍
2. Marvel Powers of a Girl. The writing was terrible.
3. For my local book club we're reading Middlesex next. Also looking forward to Erin Morgenstern's next book due out in November!
4. My goal is 24 books. I'm at 20 so I think I'm gonna have to increase it!
5. @IndoorDame @CoffeeNBooks @BookwormAHN 💕👋🏼

3) I do that quite often, via email.

@wanderinglynn

Thursday vibe

#catchup #TrivialThursday @GarthRanzz

1. Not at this time. Hopefully soon. 📚

2. Meh, I‘ve had it for so long that I‘d good with it. 😄

3. I‘ve got a few right now. 🤣 Imagine Dragons- Thunder, Meghan Trainor- No Excuses, Rachel Platten- Collide, and Jax Jones- Breathe 🎶

1. Yes, yes I am. #epicbuddyread #ookbook #LMPBC #CBBR #wevegotissues
2. I've always liked my name. Although I also like my soap opera name. You take your middle name and the name of the street that you grew up on. I'm Andrew Pearson, man about town. 😋
3. I've had a 3 song rotation in my head all day. Start Wearing Purple by Gogol Bordello, The Night Begins To Shine by B.E.R., and Highway Tune by Greta Van Fleet.
#TrivialThursday @GarthRanzz

1) Well I'm trying to do the Stephen King group read, but I will probably eventually fall behind...it's until 2023. 😂
2) When I was younger I really wanted to be named Rachel, but now I would love a name like Serafina, Persephone, or some completely made up name.
3) depends on genre and decade lol, but lately I've been digging This is Me from The Greatest Showman soundtrack.
@GarthRanzz #TrivialThursday

1. No but I will be doing the Fear Street buddy read with @laundry_piles it will be my first one 💕
2. I always wanted a pretty girly name-like Stephanie or Michelle. I don‘t even have the girl spelling of my name-Jody. People have always misspelled it with an i or ie at the end.
3. Truth Hurts by Lizzo
Thanks Scott! #trivialthursday

1. Oh too many. House of Leaves at FB. The rest are here on Litsy. Far from the Madding Crowd and soon Emma. In May, Grapes of Wrath, Sense and Sensibility and The Children's Book. All are books I already own

2. No

3. I don't know. Maybe something from Taylor Swift's newest album?

#trivialthursday

1. Does my #bookclub count?! That‘s keeping me busy for the time being.
2. When I was younger, I wanted to be Stacey (a la Baby Sitters Club), but I‘ve come to appreciate and “own” my names (legal & nicknames).
3. Too many songs!! My son (3) is asking for “Power of Love” & “You Make My Dreams Come True” on repeat, so those are top jams for now...could be a LOT worse! 😂🎶 #hueylewis #andthenews #hallandoates

#trivialthursday @GarthRanzz

1. J.K. Rowling? Cassandra Clare? Neil Gaiman? Rainbow Rowell? I think I'll settle on Leigh Bardugo because I still have to read a lot of her books. I don't know!
2. One direction. No doubt about it
3. Coke or one of my mom's smoothies

I missed #TrivialThursdays so doing it today. @GarthRanzz

1. Goodreads! It came in handy when my husband took the kids Christmas shopping.
2. 3rd preferably, not big in fictional 1st person
3. Sleep, I live in Mountain Time, take my son to an event and have coffee with my daughter while we wait on him
4. I can‘t pick!
#trivialthursday

1. Goodreads and Litsy
2. Any, but I'm not a fan of 1st and 3rd in the same book.
3. Sleep and work. It will only affect me on my ride to work, which is usually when I get on while my husband drives. Let's hope the down time doesn't go over the predicted time!
4. You! And you! And all of you!

#TrivialThursday

1. First book that comes to mind is THE FORGOTTEN GARDEN by Kate Morton. LOVE her books.

2. I always recommend Pam Jenoff, Beatriz Williams, and Karen White.
