Welcome to Litsy!

🌺Wonderous Wednesday 🌺

Others see me 👀 as an awkward nerd.

I would like people to see me as a good person.

I see @AmyG as a friend, someone who knows me ridiculously well, and puts up with my bad sense of humor. Her beautiful heart makes her a walking gift to anyone who is blessed by knowing her.

Thanks for the tag @LiseWorks

🥤 Usually a peppermint mocha latte, but I've also become very fond of the peppermint frosty from Wendy's.
🎶 Carol of the Bells (Instrumental Version)
🛏 I stay in bed with some good books, some hot tea or apple cider and a box of assorted chocolates.

🌊Better understanding of other cultures; keeps one‘s mind sharp; makes one smarter.

@Eggs #wondrouswednesday

1. No. I have bought some pre-signed books though.
2. Yes!! All too often!
3. There are so many - I can‘t pick just one! But anywhere with a beach!

@Eggs #wondrouswednesday

❄ I am participating in the upcoming #WinterReadathon and StoryGraph's Reading Challenge.
❄ I remember going to both of my grandmother's houses Christmas Day, eating some much good food, I didn't even care that much about presents. There was cakes and pies!!
@Eggs #wonderouswednesday

1 - no, I used to do Goldsboro BOTM, but found I wasn‘t reading them so stopped it
2- I‘m on a few others but don‘t regularly check or post, only on Litsy really
3 - going back to the office for 2 days a week. Hoping to get some work/life balance back
@Eggs #wondrouswenesday

1. My uncle James. Most of his life he was known as "Tootie", he was a Hell's Angel in Florida and worked as a welder for NASA.
2. Anything that makes me happy or makes me smile is beautiful.
3. Book Publishing, start my own signature line.
4. Sunday. It's my diet cheat day, I look forward to it all week.

@eggs #wonderfulwednesday

1.Rochester Vampire Ball. I later fell off my heels, breaking the shoe and my toe in the process. 🙃
2. 3 things: intelligence, honesty, twisted sense of humor. 😁
3.Spiders & heights. Can barely use a stepstool & have jumped on furniture & screamed over spiders like a faceless Looney Tunes woman. 😂
4.Planning a weekend trip to a very haunted B&B. Super excited. 😀

Everyone & anyone welcome to play.

🌼 Paperbacks
🌼 I used to love reading in my bedroom closet, or cupboard under the stairs (thanks to Harry Potter) as a kid!
🌼 I'm very grateful for my penpals. The #litsylove folks of course, but I recently joined another penpal group within my online yoga community so I've recently gained some new penpals. Getting snail mail always puts a smile on my face 🥰
Thanks for the tag @Crazeedi and I tag anyone who wants to play!

Thanks for the #wondrouswednesday tag, @SpiderGoddess !

1. I ran the numbers, and so far this year I‘ve read mostly paperbacks. Audiobooks were in second place, then ebooks, then hardcovers.

2. I read a bit in the bathroom at my cousin‘s wedding. It was necessary.

3. I‘m grateful for mango juice so I can enjoy delicious mango flavour without shelling out major cash for actual mangos. (Is that too vapid compared to everyone else‘s answers?)

Thanks for the tag @eeclayton

1.) Sadly not that I know of

2.) Just Goodreads

3.) I would love to see The Great Library series put into a tv series and have the beautiful picture quality like the HBO series His Dark Materials! That would be amazing!

#SassyBookworm😏 #WonderousWednesday @Eggs

1. The list is long, Portugal, Denmark, Norway, Australia, India, Argentina. You read one book set somewhere and it goes on the list. My sister lived in Australia for a time and I never got to visit her there.
2. No major challenges

#wondrouswednesday @eggs & thank you @EadieB 😁

1. Birthday month stack

2. You‘d have to ask them if you really want to know. I‘d like to think I‘m seen as an awesome leader 😁 it‘s a goal.

3. Oh I‘m certain I‘ve had a few all-nighters due to school work, house work, work work & well, parties? 😆 but not recently. For the past few years according to my watch I sleep an average of 4.5 - 5 hours a night.

#WondrousWednesday

1. Some of my TBR for 2020 is pictured.

2. Others see me as a strong, intelligent person who will be there for you if you need help but does not take BS from others and will speak out for what I believe to be right.

3. I only sleep 5 or 6 hours a night and will get up and read if I have trouble sleeping. Haven‘t missed much sleep since my children were small.

Can up play? @PurpleTulipGirl @Ruthiella @Twainy

1. The Sandman audiobook. Because of the #bookbuyingdiet , I won't be purchasing anything new for awhile. I haven't decided if I will include audiobooks on the diet since I only purchase one a month from Audible.
2. Walking or exercising
3. Everything to Everyone - Everclear

#wonderouswednesday @Eggs

1. Lucien the Librarian from The Sandman series. I'd rather be among books, looking up information than dealing with people.
2. Work, reading, my diet.

*Just had my 3 year Litsyversary a few days ago--I didn't realize it had been that long.
* @silentrequiem invited me!
*I think I read more since joining, though that's as much due to my freelance curriculum review project as to sharing on Litsy.
*Sci-fi and fantasy, both adult and YA.
* @silentrequiem, of course. I think I've also been following @Ddzmini and @MrBook the longest!
