When you realize you forgot to grab a book when leaving for work.. what is one supposed to do over her lunch break? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I‘ve noticed that many bibliophiles have cats. I‘d love to see by emoji who has a cat, who has a dog, or who has both...

I‘ll start: 🐕🐩

I am so behind on my reading! ARGHH!! How do you guys get back into the reading groove after surviving life‘s curveballs? I have so many books to get through and am not sure how to prioritize them.

Another gorgeous guy who‘s absolutely adorable as a widowed dad. ❤️ Jude Law. And love The Holiday.

Who else is playing introvert bingo this season?!? 😂😂😂

#wintergames #TeamFestivus #holidaylaughs

1. Yes, always! It makes my family and friends crazy 😜 because they think I should want something besides books, I just laugh at them! 🤷‍♀️
2. Yes, I‘ve given my daughter-in-law a box of books for her birthday and at Christmas every year, ever since my son started dating her - she depends upon it! ❤️

A kindle and a candle are all a girl needs.

I‘ve loved Niall Matter since he played bad boy genius Zane Donovan on Eureka. And playing a single dad in Falling for Christmas just makes him that much more adorable!

#wintergames #TeamFestivus #holidaymovie

Sometimes in life being normal is boring I just like being weird 👽 stay weird and it's raining season it's cold weather ❄️

#Two4Tuesday
1. Probably not a lot because I‘m going to a friend‘s house and I‘ll be there most of the day.
2. No because I rarely visit family on Thanksgiving. Normally I binge Netflix. Sometimes I go to a friends.

November 23, 2019, I watch this new movie last Christmas 🎄 it cried my eyes out and laugh at the same time, the movie was tremendous and I loved it, this photo of me I'm getting married just kidding this is my mamas,

Like the curious cat, I gotta know, @Cinfhen , or anyone else, what are the hashtags #MOvember and #papadontpreach all about?? I‘m finding all the books fascinating that are playing under those hashtags!!

#BFCr4 winners, I finally made it to the post office! Your prizes are on the way!

#Two4Tuesday

1. Sometimes. Sometimes I can‘t focus because life happenings. Sometimes it‘s not the right time for me to read that book. Sometimes it‘s the book.
2. If I‘m having to force myself to read it. If reading the book feels like work. Or if the book is just terribly written.

2. Yes
3. Scooby-Doo & She-Ra

5. I remember eating in the cafeteria in high school (because I was too cool to pack a lunch 😂), but I don‘t think I had a fave because school cafeteria food.

1. My favorite word is Killjoy. “Like come on, let‘s go. Don‘t be a killjoy!”
2. 3-4. It too long, not too short. Enough to develop the characters, have a good speed to denouement and not enough length to feel like it was too slow at the end or they rushed at the end to fit it all in.
3. Yes. Working on a YA, usually do memoir or middle grade.
4. @A_bookworms_nook @DaisyLu @ZacharyP

This book title was not in the Litsy library.🤔
Either way it was very heartfelt and had a great background story.

Your favorite books to get you in the mood for Thanksgiving? 🦃🦃🦃

1. I love the interaction of groups of book lovers who share their passions & introduce new books to each other.
2. I haven‘t found anything, yet.
3. A glossary for all the hashtags so I knew what they all meant.
4. Daily
5. Yes
6. I‘d love to have a way to find the different readathons, swaps, read alongs etc. to me it‘s like the menu at In-N-Out Burger — you have the menu & then the cult menu that‘s not listed. I want it all listed. Lol

rules?

My second #bookbingo card for 2019

For the bingo challenge 2019, I make some rules for my own:

Wow today is my third #litsyversary ! I'm very happy that I meet so many wonderful people here on #Litsy @HappyLitsyversary

Thank you that you follow me and my readings.

I had to choose this because If Nobody Listens Part 2 isn't listened. This is a Norwegian Thriller that is action packed. I don't know how the author did it, put Part 2 was even better than Part 1. Rikard Sommer is a good writer. Can't wait to read more from him.

I'm living together with a black cat. His name is Mojo Rojo. So the pic of today us easy for me. #scarathlon #chillingphotochallenge
