A bit of an update for #JubilantJuly

📚Got caught up with the #pemberlittens readalong for Longbourn
📚Have read a bunch of my #lmpbc book and if I spend a bunch of hours on it, I can easily have it in the mail next week.
📚Almost have finished Pt. 3 of A Promised Land (it‘s amazing how dense the book is)
📚Worked a bit more on The Duke and I and I could have this one finished during the weekend

Andrew65 Doing great 👏👏👏 2y

I realized I never made a #BFC2022 update for April. I did complete and surpass the Trevor Project 50 mile project. Super proud that my city came out on top! I didn‘t complete my puzzle for my self care goal, but it‘s massive. I had to buy a coffee table just to get started 😂 I won 1/2 DietBet games in April. I read 4/12 books. I surprised myself with my active zone minutes average. My work has walking trails so I have been enjoying those 🌸

Hello all! I have been off most social media this last month. Life has a way to bring you down and lift you right back up. I‘m truly okay, and starting to get back to a somewhat normal. I‘m sorry @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I should have let you know for #litsylove i just felt so overwhelmed. I love that group so much, and I‘m working on letters little by little everyday. I hope the group understands.

Librarybelle ❤️❤️❤️ 2y

Update: surgery went well. It was a day surgery procedure so I was home by 5:30 pm. My surgery lasted about 2 hours, was in recovery for about 90 minutes and in post op for about 6 hours before being discharged. I haven‘t read anything since Sunday evening, as I have been exhausted and can‘t really use my left hand yet, as I have a pillow under that arm at the moment. The pain is subsiding, helped by pain meds. #update

AmyG Wishing you an easy, quick recovery. 2y

Late update but this past week I‘ve been battling a bad sore throat and drinking my weight in tea. I did manage to finish 7/9 books for my #MarvellousMarch goal and depending on how well I am able to keep up with a stop watch I am going to try for either 20 hours or 4 books for #20in4

Lots of things today so not much reading got done, but I hope to either finish or make good progress with Hook, Line and Sinker tomorrow.

Just started the Lost Apothecary and struggling with You Lucky Dog a bit, but will work on pushing through!

Hey #LittenListen participants! Once again I want to thank you all for participating in the #LittenListen Audioathon. I've had so much fun being your host. Thanks to those that have already posted their totals. For those who haven't, I realize it's a holiday weekend, but if you could all email me or tag me in a post with your numbers I would really appreciate it. I'd like to announce our winners ASAP.

Thanks again! 😘

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I made my graphic and never posted it! 😆 Thanks for the reminder. I'll get that loaded up now. 3y

I'm halfway through my challenge for the year! I was hoping to be further along, but March just wasn't a good month for me. I'm still ahead of schedule so no worries.

How is everyone else coming along with their challenges?

Just an update.... we got all moved in yesterday (one of the coldest fricken days). Have been trying to unpack all day today. Have only got a couple of rooms done. We currently have no internet (stupid Charter) so I am using my data to post this from my phone. Trying to relax a little while I get the little one to bed and watch some old dvds. My oldest goes back to school in hybrid mode tomorrow and we have a storm coming tomorrow night. Fun Fun

LazyOwl Good luck with unpacking 💕 3y
AkashaVampie @LazyOwl thanks... only doing a little at a time because we are so sore from moving it all. 3y

Belated #bookreport plus a pic from my holiday. This was us about to start a night tour at Zealandia sanctuary. We saw a little kiwi in the wild! Also kaka, tui, fantails, shags and a tuatara.
A week of great books - recommend all of them. The insights in Coconut really stood out. The characters in The Leavers will live in my head for a long time. The 3rd book wasn‘t as strong as the other 2, but still very good.

LeahBergen That sounds like a lovely holiday! 3y

Sharing my #BookReport #WeeklyForecast It‘s not looking too good 🙄I‘m having loads of concentration issues at the moment. Hopefully I‘ll get my reading groove back, but until then I‘m happily watching senseless US television 😍

Centique I know that TV watching mood for sure 💕Just go with it I reckon, you probably need a book holiday. You‘ve read tons this year! If you want heart warming TV I recommend “Never Have I Ever” on Netflix. It‘s a series written by Mindy Kaling about a young Indian girl living in the US and it‘s super cute. 😍 3y
Cinfhen Thanks so much for the recommendation @Centique I‘ll look for it😍 3y

Hey all!
Sorry I've been a little MIA Litsy wise! Things took a bit of a turn for the worse last year with lots of different bits of bad news hitting me in close quarters. The final bit of bad news has meant a big lifestyle change and it has been really tough but I'm hoping to sort it out soon.

Turns out I am "pre-diabetic" which means my sugars are high but not quite high enough to be diabetic.
(More in comments)

daydreamin_star This meant I have had to change my diet and exercise which meant I have less time to read and relax. 5y
daydreamin_star (sorry, pressed enter too soon!) 5y
daydreamin_star The good news is, I have lost nearly one stone since the diagnosis and discovered I am both gluten and lactose intolerant and as such, feel much better within myself. I am slowly getting a routine back in to my life and hope soon to find time to be here on Litsy and to get back into my reading! Wish me luck 🤞🤞 😊 5y

So according to the very nice woman over at Amazon, my package was marked “missing” at 1pm when they got to my house & couldn‘t find the package. Later that night they changed the status to “lost”. Amazon is replacing the kindle, but it‘s out of stock until 8/5. I wanted the kindle for reading on the boat on vacation this week, but it‘s supposed to rain all week, so it‘s fine.

MelissaSue81 Booo Amazon! 6y
Valink @MelissaSue81 I‘m handling this surprisingly well for the drama queen I typically am! 😂😂 They are doing the right thing and replacing it, and could get me the black one tomorrow, but I want the kindle to read in the sun on the boat so I picked the white to not soak up the heat. 6y
MelissaSue81 @Valink - good idea on the white. I have a black one sitting in the box on my counter, but it‘s my “birthday present” so I have to wait til NEXT Monday! 6y
