I don‘t know about you but I can‘t wait for my first 3 day weekend of 2022!

Normally I am working either my library job or my part time or doing homework for my MLIS degree. Not this weekend!!

So, this girl is going to read and relax all weekend by the pool!

What are your Memorial Day weekend plans?

DGRachel Yay! I‘m so glad you can enjoy the full three day! 2y

Graciouswarriorprincess @DGRachel Thanks! I miss you! Hope that you and your mom are doing well!! 2y

DGRachel I miss you, too! We‘re both good but very slowly going out in public. It feels like we try one thing, have a bad experience, and go back to personal lock down. But, we ventured into a restaurant tonight. Baby steps. ☺️ 2y

Graciouswarriorprincess @DGRachel Aww, I am so sorry. But I understand as I try not to do much outside of work. And still wear a mask everywhere. Yes, baby steps as we venture into this brave, new world! Hugs! 2y

At work we are creating a library to promote literacy in the community and we had tons of extras of each book so I was allowed to take some home.... I also donated some of my own to add. (I'm going to put them in my office at work but want to go through then first). 😃

scripturient @CarolynM @Heideschrampf Just to clarify before anyone starts looking for a quotation that doesn‘t exist 😁: this here is not from the tagged book. I found the graphic on FB and this book simply seemed suitable as an ‘anchor‘ (is that even what you call it? well, I guess you know what I mean). 😊😘 6y

1) approx. 6-10
2) I'd say medium lenth, 300 page-ish
3) By trying to read light literature and by getting inspiration through Litsy. :)
4) 100 - I'm at 87.
5) kitschy romance
6) the tasseled ones
7) Good question! Maybe 1,200ish? We have books in every room.
8) All the books! 😂
9) My first car was a purple VW beetle which I wrecked after only three months. 😢
