Welcome to Litsy!

#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

Tricky, no Halloween like in the US over here. 😉

Tag, you're it. 🎃

1) set a GR challenge goal, as usual. # of books - pages read is difficult to track, I listen to audiobooks and read ebooks. One year I tracked how much money I saved with library loans instead of buying books

2) sometimes. There are buddyreads and readalongs, but most books I just pick randomly

3) it used to be learning English mainly, now it's more armchair travelling around the world and through time and space

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

1) sweet chai with milk - it used to be mulled wine

2) none, if I can manage to avoid it. 😁

3) scented candles, blankets, tea, thick sweaters and socks, fairy lights

How about you, @RaeLovesToRead @peanutnine @velvetfur?

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

📗 Yes. It used to be 20 books, now it's 200 books.
📘 Met it in May, I think I'm at about 452 books right now.
📙 Jolabokaflod on Saturday and Sunday and Monday and probably Tuesday and Wednesday 🤪🤪🤪 I have a few days without any kind of obligations.

1) Robinson Crusoe - not exactly sure why.

2) any weather is perfect

3) Yoga pants and more upper back mobility

#WondrousWednesday Thanks for the tag, @Eggs

How about you, @khooliha @Birdsong28 @everlocalwest?

Thanks for the tag @Klou

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

1) No job, so obviously: reading time
2) follow your heart/passions, ignore all the advice where the big money might be
3) open my eyes, duh! ? Feed the cats, take my pills, do yoga
4) read, switch off the light, tell the cats "Goodnight"

Do you want to play if you haven't yet? @Liatrek @wanderinglynn @TheSpineView @CoffeeCatsBooks @ozma.of.oz

#HumpDayPost @MinDea @DebbieGrillo

So, yesterday was hump day and my vacation brain screwed up. Will you play along anyway?

1. I win the day. That means any day that we don't have to go to work, being the first one up for at least long enough to read and have a cup of coffee and enjoy the quiet of the house.
2. Summer pleasures: floating, ice cream, night time peepers, a porch swing & a good book.
3. Being with my cousins at the lake.
