Welcome to Litsy!

Do you keep a reading journal?

I love keeping a reading journal but making my own spread each month was time consuming. So this year I decided to go with one that had templates made out already. I think that‘s going to make everything much easier. And this one gives enough room so I can personalize it as much as I want.

I think the older I get the more I want challenged. Trying to finish books instead of quick- bailing. Trying to read more classics. I think if I didn‘t I‘d get bored. Having said that I also intersperse them in among my fun books, which could be pretty much any book that takes me somewhere!

Finally finished up my January #bookspin list. Thanks for doing this again this year Sarah!

Thank you so much @BarkingMadRead I love my #jolabokaflod goodies so much!!!

Short second chance #romance. Cute, but not overwhelming.

#WinterReadathon
@Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES @DieAReader

My goal this year was 100 books. Currently at 102.

I‘ll probably end up about 110 by 12/31.

Lots of car and family time. Football and I will be taking a bit of time to myself on Christmas Eve(late)to read and eat my chocolates. I‘m all about self care! 🤣🤣

Sent my #jolabokaflodswap today. Hope it doesn't take too long to arrive.

@MaleficentBookDragon

Here‘s my list for #bookspinbingo. It includes several of my November picks that I didn‘t get to read.

@robinb look what came in the mail! It's such a cool book, thank you Robin for thinking of me on my birthday. I have so much to be grateful for, and I am blessed with your friendship. Hugs🥰❤

@MaleficentBookDragon my #jolabokaflodswap is on its way to New York. It should be there by Tuesday. Thanks for putting this swap together every year. I look forward to it!

If you're interested in a low key readathon for the long December nights, #WinterReadathon is your ticket! @Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES and @DieAReader are hosting! No stress and maybe get some of the books off your tbr!

Canva is a life saver if you want to keep a bullet journal, but you‘re short on free time. I know from experience. 😅

#ThoughtfulThursday Thanks @Moonwitch94
My grandmother. My happiest moments during my childhood were with her, she sang me songs, played with me and knew my tastes. As an adult, waited me with my favorite food and a cup of coffee. Always helping others specially if someone needed assistance while hospitalized. Always offering food, it was almost an offense if you didn‘t eat her food😄well dressed with painted nails, hair done. Loved her so much❤️

So still no baby 40 weeks 4 days now but mucus plug just came out for 3rd time it grew back apparently the other 2 times 🙄 cross your fingers I go into labor before my appointment tomarrow 🥰

Let's hope next update I'll be in labor

Still no baby 40 weeks and 1 day still having the contractions though but she's being difficult at my appointment Monday I was 1cm and 50% effaced and also I'm having atleast 3 contractions an hour now

Excellent dystopian novel that I was lucky enough to ARC read, it's not on the Litsy database yet.

Highly recommend to anyone who enjoyed 1984 & Brave New World.

It's been a long time and a lot has happened, all not great so I took the time needed away to get a handle on it and reading was my escape so fair warning I have a lot of books to review and very little pics taken so that's what I'll be doing.

Sorry that I was away for as long as I was but sometimes it's needed. I've missed this community so much 💕

🍁A Gentleman in Moscow ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🍁Elizabeth Gaskell
🍁The Great Escape
🍁Green Day
🍁Georgia on my Mind, Willie Nelson

Y‘all…I love that my library does this every time I check out books🥰🥰🥰

"She‘s my strength. If I hadn‘t found her, my lungs would‘ve taken on water years ago, but she saved me."

Probably an unpopular opinion but none. They will never produce the 15 hour, perfectly casted, epic movies I see in my head. So, even when book to movie/tv is done well I‘m always just a little bit disappointed.

Scariest book you've read?

I personally don't do horror to much of a baby

August 2022 #bookspin bingo board

Here is my late list for #bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

What do you do with a book after you finish it?

If it's a favorite I keep it if it's not I put it in little free libraries

Finally made my August #bookspin list. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I started making my list this morning but had to start over when three of my library holds became available today. Can‘t wait for the numbers tomorrow. Thanks for putting this together every month Sarah.

Continuation from last post if I do go into labor I'll post a pic of her after and keep y'all updated also if I do she'll need the NICU as well

Thanks for the tag, @Eggs !

1. I need quiet to read. I can watch baseball when I‘m reading, but the game has to be very low volume or on mute.

2. Umm…all the books!! But, if money were no object, a 1st edition Jane Austen, preferably Pride and Prejudice, but any would suffice!

This book was so good to listen to. Couldn't stop once I started

Don't know why this book isn't listed...
