I made party food (crockpot cheese dip), tortilla chips, chili, and homemade muffins for late night snacking and invited my kids to join in me in participating in #LitsyPartyOfOne with the goal of finishing this very slow book. But after finishing up some volunteer work I was distracted by Romeo and Juliet and read several acts and now too tired to stay awake. We all read a little but it's an early night for us. 😕 Hope everyone has fun tonite!!

These are my #tbr for #feistyfeb. Lark and Termite is very slow. Maybe second half will pick up. @RealLifeReading

susanw I dnf'ed it. Not even sure if I made it half way. Sorry. 8y
Texreader @susanw I almost bailed after the first few pages. But I read the description again and it's supposed to pick up speed somewhere. I'm still struggling though... 8y

Reading a new book, playing some Uno, Lindsay Sterling violin in the background and a beautiful day. Life is sweet. Can we bottle this moment?

Huge book haul today. The second and third stacks are for daughter @MissytheBookworm who started reading this series in her school library. That's her trying to get out of the picture. 😂😂😂

The book starts out with a forecasted storm. It's quiet and still and as the weather changes, the characters change, the narrative picks up, and when the storm hits...
It's a coming of age story. It's beautiful.
