This is probably more of a post for January, but I wanted to share some photos of my reading journal. I moved to more physical ways of tracking my reading in 2023 and I think it has enhanced my reading life. I still log books on The StoryGraph for end of the year stats report, but my thoughts on a book go into the journal.

My #bookspin picks for April. Some of these have been on my tbr since January. 🙄
I read 10 books last month, and still no bingo. Maybe because I keep picking up books that aren't on the bookspin list.🙃

The Trans Rights Readathon starts today, celebrating trans authors and representation, and to raise funds for and awareness about organizations that support the trans community. I picked out 3 reads to enjoy this week, and look forward to discovering new authors! #TransRightsReadathon #LGBTQIA
I love meeting new authors and @kerryevelynbooks is a real sweetheart. @barkingmadaboutreading introduced me to her and the Coffee Loft series. I just love these sweet romance books however I especially adored Kerry‘s book, “That Thing You Brew”.
I received #bookmail from her today and it is the cutest little package! Thanks @kerryevelynbooks for making this rainy, grey day bright!
I need some book recs! Specifically audios! I got a promotion where I really don't have to interact with people very much at all. I will be able to have my headphones in all day! 😍
Here is my #MarchTBR for #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo #MangaMarch - my new Readathon! And #Roll100 🍀😁
Here in Perth we have just broken records for the highest temperatures ever in February. Today was a tiny bit cooler so we ventured out to a shopping centre. The books were calling me. Top 2 for grandkids. Next one I‘ve heard about on the radio. The bottom one was going cheap cheap and sounded like a good read. Watching US abc news. Hope the weather not near any of US people.
Went to the neighbouring town today. Bought a rucksack full of chocolate at a factory outlet (they make posh chocolate for export) and came across this little free library in the middle of a town square.

Apologies for being missing in action, & not having responded to posts. Had to take a few weeks away whilst I had a big flare up of my Crohn‘s Disease & the associated pains that made it difficult to focus on sitting & responding to things. Also been dealing with one or two other things. Hopefully back now. Thanks for your understanding and going missing in the middle of a Readathon.
Thanks to those that have sent messages 😍 Litsy is the best
I made these bookmarks for my daughter in law and my grandbaby, while listening to THE NURSE

My #MidWinterSolace scavenger hunt. It was more of a wet week than a cold one so I had to get creative.
Finally posting my #bookspin bingo list for January 2024. Still have a few spaces that I‘m undecided on but I‘ll see if I get through some of the books I‘ve already listed & started
Thought today was Monday so I‘m a day behind in the #hyggechallenge
Soup and sandwiches tasted so good after two weeks of cookies and cheese! #MidWinterSolace

Sorry if I‘ve been MIA. October was a busy month: Prepping for vacation, working, 3 birthday parties, 2 nephews soccer seasons, knitting group, the Actual vacation (loved DC), the downside of unpacking/shopping/laundry post vacation, and hockey season started. (Season tickets. Yes hockey. In south Louisiana. . 😍. Finally have a team after 21 years). Here‘s my books read this month. All 15 of them 😱. Here‘s to a quieter November
Last photo prompt!!! I hope everyone had a great one!!!🧡🖤 #scarathlon #hhc

Decorating for Halloween is one of my favorite parts of the holiday. And let me tell you I go all out. Almost every room in our house will end up decorated. Mainly because I buy more decorations than I actually need but that‘s part of the fun of it. So today I just wanted to take a second and show you a glimpse of the Halloween madness that is my house right now.

#scarathon photo challenge: blood, Psych “This Episode Sucks” in this episode Shawn & Gus are looking for a possible vampire #BatBrigade (6 points)
Updated reading bracket. I don‘t think I posted this for August so here are my August & September favorites.
August was a meh month so it was an easy pick of All the Sinners Bleed by S.A. Cosby
September had some excellent reads so this was harder but I had to choose Light Bringer by Pierce Brown which was absolutely incredible and a strong contender for favorite of the year.
She saw me pumping in this photo so the world ended miss her so much
