Book haul from my birthday trip to the Hudson River valley and Ithaca, NY. Not that it was necessary for an excuse to buy any new books, but having one made it that much more fun!
I have a question for you all. I'm having a kind of reading block. I feel like I've lost my passion and I am not able to get out of it , so I wanted you to tell me what you do when you go through this because I'm so frustrated and I really want to read. When I start a book I barely read 5 pages before losing interest again.
I can't believe September is over and things are already getting creepy. I finished Broken by Lawson after having to renew it from the library. Now reading the Lightning Thief to the kid. I'm having a hard time concentrating on reading anything to myself.

pickI finished two more stories in the "A Point In Time" collection.
'Ash Wednesday' was a heartbreaking story based on an actual event - a deadly fire in an elementary school.
'Landing' is about a NASA employee more focused on his job than his new wife.
I like that each of these stories take less than a hour to read. They are so well done the reader feels like they have spent much more time with the characters than they have.
Saddest message I‘ve received. There‘s only one book left in my series and I‘m out of borrows until September. #Lame
HAPPY #wondrouswednesday @Eggs @DarkMina
1. Everyone around me when I was growing up seemed to love reading. My first memory is of my mom reading James and the Giant Peach
2. I don't auto buy or borrow, but I pre order everything by Dav Pilkey and often 4 of each copy. One for my son and 3 for my students
3. A couple of online clubs, but we all read our own things.

Advice needed! Finally going on our first trip Post COVID! Yay! I pulled Munich out of a hat (literally) and was wondering if anyone had some recommendations for food and/or experiences that are off the beaten path?
I found this Sherlock Holmes greeting card at the bookstore yesterday and thought he‘d make a great bookmark. But he stands up all on his own, so he might hang out here until needed.
We're in for a week of hot and humid weather so I'll be starting July off strong. 😂 It's like being snowed in. Overheated in?

I don't remember which Litten posted Book Riot's Reader ebook, but thank you! It's great!
👩🍳👩🍳 I counted the cookbooks as a separate category — not fiction or nonfiction. (It made sense at the time.) So my numbers do add up. 🧮 😁
As a book nerd, it feels strange to realize I‘ve never owned a pair of bookends. 🤔
I present my very first, courtesy of a Tuesday Morning 4th of July sale! I love🍍! Testing them out as a small TBR/books in progress shelf.
My doctor has extended my medical leave until Sept 8th. I haven't been to work since Dec 19th 2021. I miss my friends and colleagues. I miss time away from my house. I miss not constantly having headaches. Head tumors are not fun, would not recommend.
Just a random thought. Surely, I am not the only one that has a TBR list that grows everyday from being on Litsy🤣 At this rate, I will live forever 🤣🤣🤣
This hotel has a lot of book inspired art. I‘d decorate my dining room just like this conference room.
My 20 for July 2022 #bookspin #bookbingo @TheAromaofBooks
This summer is full of family and travel. I know my reading will slow until the fall. Still great fun to pick 20 off my shelves each month.
This month I pulled titles that came up in booktube, or mentioned on Instagram.
So this happened on #storygraph today. What in the what? I‘ve never read more NF than F. I‘m digging this trend!
Another day, two more books acquired.
Book haul! Husband took me to get more books since I finished Daughter of the Pirate King in a day... oops!
My June #bookspin list. I've decide to try something a little different after seeing others use categories vice specific books. That seems to give a little more freedom since moods changes in reading. @TheAromaofBooks
#Two4Tuesday Thanks for the tag @Eggs !
1- The Dresden Files- so many great supporting characters in that series. Bob for one.
2- Strong supporting characters add additional layers to a story.
I haven't had a lot of reading time lately, so I'm going with options #1. 📖
No Title |
