Welcome to Litsy!

I have been awful about posting lately...but here are my reads for #booked2020 summer. Olive, Again was my favorite of the bunch and maybe my favorite of the year. @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage

#Summer #Booked2020 is done ✅

First and last were my faves 🌟

#Redwhiteorbluetypeoncover: Shotgun Lovesongs
#EccentricMC: Nothing to see here
#YANovelbyaPOC: Poet X
#Wineorwhine: Thirty thousand bottles of wine and a pig called Helga
#Bannedbook: To kill a mockingbird
#Armchairtravel: Beautiful ruins

Here‘s what I managed to read this month. My favorite was probably Cassidy Holmes. My least favorite was the book I didn‘t finish, The Book Of Two Ways.

My August #wrapup #readingstats
8 books for #ReadtheUSA2020

So the USPS assured me that both of my boxes would arrive by yesterday when I mailed them Monday morning (I annoyingly asked several times) or I would have paid more for expedited shipping. They gave me daily updates saying the boxes were on time. That all changed last night. I just checked now - still running late. I‘m so sorry & disappointed. 😫🥺

Wrapping up the
#SummerFun @StayCurious challenge :) gave it a good run!

And one bingo for #SummerFun

I managed one Bingo for #SummerFunJr

Ten books read from the Modern Mrs Darcy list (some of the older ones I had read prior to the list coming out. Working on The Jane Austen Society now.

1. I think there‘s still plenty of summer left, and I‘m not ready for it to be over anyway. (But I did buy some pumpkin coffee that was on sale.)
2. Red Bones, Babel, The Henna Artist. Enjoying them all!

My #readinglater stack is a bit out of control, mainly because I have grown out of my current bookshelves. So, I have 2 stacks-I take one off this stack & put it on the other after I‘ve read it. This stack started around last Nov. The other 3 pictured are my #readingnow books. #summerfunbucketlist #summerfun @StayCurious @4thhouseontheleft

Thank you @rsteve388 and @AnotherMissBennet for the the tags and @MoonWitch94 for the questions.

🥭 Mangoes. I am obsessed with mangoes and can eat them at any time of the day or night. I miss them in the US.

📚 I had to Google and realized that I haven‘t read many books set in summer.

🐳 I saw dolphins ages ago as a child. Absolutely enjoyed it ❤️

If you haven‘t played, consider yourself tagged.

1. Because weather is so hot in PR in summer, I love to put my fruits in the refrigerator to eat them cold. I love blueberries, mango and pineapple😋 2.This year I only read few books set in summer, didn't love them, but I enjoyed them: Winter in Paradise & Hide Tide Books. Excited to read The shell Seekers. 3. Only in Disney but I have seen manatees in Condado lagoon which I visit frequently since I use to run in that area.Thanks @Chrissyreadit

Thanks to @Cinfhen for posting this - like you, I'll hop in late & use my June & July reads retroactively. Don't know that I'll finish this one - kinda been on a mystery binge recently! 🤷🏻‍♀️ #popsummer2020

My updates for #summerfun and #summerfunjr
I‘m close to a bingo for my “adult” board and I‘ve already got on for middle grade, with another two really close! I haven‘t been super active on here in terms of posting reviews but I‘m hoping to get back into it!

#summerfun update: Finished one book and read a magazine. I didn‘t realize a book could be used in more than one square, so I‘ve done some updating.
Call Me By Your Name: summer romance & book to movie
Year One: I usually avoid post apocalyptic books but this one had magic and was highly recommended
Party of Two: Summer Reading Guide
Bingo!

An update on my #summerfun bingo card. Soul drifter had been on my tbr for a little over 6 months. One of Us is Next has some baseball scenes so I used that for the Olympics that never were. Lastly, I got a few minutes of reading in while on the boat this past week! Getting so close to a bingo!

July #BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks

Wow! June was a really good reading month! 27 books read! Lots of 5 and 4 stars! Only a few 1 or 2 stars. Favorites: The Rhino Conspiracy and The Bloomsday Dead. Half of the books are part of series, so I‘ve finished a few and furthered many! 😍

Would love to know!

Reading The Priory of the Orange Tree for our podcast buddy read. Looking forward to reading books by Octavia Butler for #AuthorAMonth

Eating fruits and desserts, especially ice-cream

Talking with friends whom I have known since school.

Was tagged in this yesterday, saw it, and promptly forgot to play. Apparently I‘m much like Dory!

1. Warm weather, sunshine, beer on the patio, summer is my favorite! ☀️🍺

2. Love it, don‘t get to do it much 🙁

June #BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks

I've got a few books with fire in the title or on the cover. It seemed to be the easiest prompt to fill for #ReadYourSign #Sagittarius @Clwojick @Meaw_catlady

Thanks for the tag @JaclynW

1. Hopefully visiting my parents in PA & my grandma in NY. I'm in NJ, so I'm more or less waiting for them to feel comfortable for me to visit. I also told my BF we'll have to do some urban exploring on foot in neighboring towns.

2. I enjoy reading outside but don't really have a spot to do so. I might try a blanket on the library lawn next door to see how that goes.

Tag anyone left

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1. Kayaking! Just being outside, water is a bonus❤️☀️🚣
2. Yes, I will be outside reading every chance I get, even on a hot day I can throw up an umbrella and read. I can feel an attitude change already with a few nice days!
Thanks for the tag @Kshakal #two4tuesday

@TheSpineView #Two4Tuesday

Anybody working on a #SummerBookBingo for this summer? Would you tag me please? I‘m up for one - and it is summer!

I‘m going to participate in #15books15weeks. It looks like there are only 12 books, but the Binti book is the whole trilogy, so 3 books, and the pigeon will bring three books with my MyTBR subscription in June.

That is the funniest thing I have ever seen! Thanks for the laugh @Ronda !

Safe from Coronavirus, but let me see if I can grab some skin cancer!

And the butts hanging out the window, 🙈🤣

Congrats on 50K! #50kcelebration #giveaway50k my favourite childhood summer memories are camping with family, I have a very big family and we do big camping reunions every couple years and those were always my favourite! @Crazeedi

Congrats @Crazeedi on 50k! 🎉🎉🎉
My favorite summer memory is the year of The Great Video Game Tournament. My 2 sisters, parents, 2 uncles, and me spent the summer swimming in the pool and having an Atari tournament. We had leaderboards posted on the fridge. I won Superman and skiing. We also played Kaboom and bowling.
