Miles went to sleep tucked tightly in bed in his Austin apartment and woke up in the middle of a damp, dark forest in the kingdom of Rompu, a land being torn apart by a civil war between its king and queen. Miles has few companions in this vast kingdom, which is filled with fantastical animals and flora yet sprinkled with familiar items like digital clocks and vinyl records. As he searches for a way to return home, he discovers that certain memories trigger magical abilities: he can shoot fireballs from his palms, heal with nothing but a touch, and more. But as he struggles to make sense of this new world, his thoughts are punctuated by painful memories of his sick grandmother, quarreling parents, and an icy school therapist. When Miles learns that a monstrous entity flying through the countryside and killing for sport was summoned from a portal to another realm, he believes this creature is the key to learning how to open another rift and return home. Tracking down this beast and mastering his newfound magical abilities may be the only way for Miles to help save Rompu and get back to his family in Texas.

#WondrousWednesday a day late 🤗
1. I share my middle name with one of my uncles first name. My dad gave me the female version of his baby brother's name, who was the favorite out of his 8 siblings. 😳
2. Zero.
3. The Sweetest Obsession. It's a recent read. It's a mix of love story, revealing family secrets, & uncovering decades old murders. There are 3 families mainly featured & they each have different ways of showing love.

@Eggs

Eggs #3 - sounds intriguing 🙌🏻🙏🏻 3mo

1) I wanted to really get away from numeric goals for my reading. Litsy sometimes worked against this goal 😁, but it's also encouraged me to read longer books, which is part of what I wanted to accomplish.

2) I'm pretty stingy with 5 stars but I had one five star book this month: Stars in Your Eyes by Kacen Callender.

3) I want to reread Network Effect, so I can understand System Collapse.

1. The Runaway Pancake, my grandma would read it to me in her tiny bed. I still have the old story book.
2. My memory alone with my mom was going on Space Mountain with my her when I was 16, my 8 year old sister was too young. Mom screamed into my ears the whole ride. 😂🏰 the love of Disney was born.
3. Picking my kid up from college the first time a few weeks ago and getting all of the deets, she was excited so I was too! #wondrouswednesday

Eggs Aw such lovely memories 💕🧡🩷 6mo

1. These Precious Days by Ann Patchett
2. I have spent weeks working at an audio book
3. My kids, as they continue to grow up I feel more certain they will be ok and find their own success and tribe. One heads off to college in a month, I‘ll really miss having her around but I‘m so proud she is headed where she is ready to go, we did something right.

@Eggs #wondrouswednesday Thank you for the tag @TheSpineView tagging @Kshakal @JenReadsAlot

1. Flamer by Mike Curato and The Many Lives of Laila Starr by Ram V
2. It's mostly an in-the-moment thing. I probably would prefer a 10-star system to 5-stars; I rate a lot of things 4-stars
3. I do. My wife doesn't like it, so it is less frequent now, but I feel like I concentrate better when I have something to block out?

1. Absolutely none. I‘m inviting as much hygge into my life as I can. I need comfort right now so no exciting challenges. I will be celebrating Jolabokaflod with my husband and kids.🥰
Favorite memory, Christmas morning as a child. My parents were young and my dad often worked on Christmas, one year Santa came at 3am so my dad could watch us open gifts before heading to the factory. ❤️

1. I just bought Rabbit today for a buddy read coming up and The Vanishing Half because it seems to be getting great reviews.
2. My deck, hands down - see last post, or in bed.
3. Relax! By Frankie Goes to Hollywood or Crazy Train by Ozzy perhaps. The sound track changes daily. I listen to Disney music when I run lately. 🤷🏼‍♀️🐿🤪 @Eggs

1-I don't think so unless they have only written a few books. If they are more prolific, the closest I've probably come is llona Andrews. But I haven't actively been trying to accomplish this goal, no.

2-Ick

3-Less than ten and even that includes multiple hiking boots for actual hiking only. Ha. I don't really care for shoes, I just like sneakers or cute boots.

1.) Compassion and Patience
2.) Narcissism
3.) I have FB friends that were my little besties in kindergarten. But we haven't really connected since I moved from our hometown 11 years ago. And then my husband knows me best... my best friend of 11 years knows me second best 💕😍
4.) Anyone and everyone!!!
