🩵 My favorite holiday to spend with my family is Halloween. My dad and I will watch Halloween 1978 every year and comment on how much we love the houses in the background.
🩵 My dad!
🩵 My cousins, sisters, and I were really big on clue. We‘d play it everytime we got together and at one point made our own board that included a velociraptor as a murder weapon and the Rock as a suspect.

1. I can‘t say that I do. I try to always have a book around to read and read at least a little bit each day.
2. I had to think about this because most of the books I read are written by women. So maybe John Grisham.
3. Beatriz Williams or Elin Hildebrand

@Eggs #wondrouswednesday

1- Yup, actually fighting a reading slump at the moment. What I read to re-engage usually depends on my mood; interesting nonfiction seems to be helping this time but sometimes it‘s poetry or fiction I‘ve already read and loved.
2- Neil Gaiman
3- Isabel Allende

🎃Watching my children start their families, careers, etc. 💛
🎃My MIL‘s mother. She outlived my MIL but I never met her because she lived in Ireland. I would ask her about raising her family in Ireland. 💛
🎃I love to give my time! Helping with gardening, dinner, doctors appointments. I love giving flowers to people. 💛

Thanks for the tag @Eggs

1. Australia has always been first on my bucket list. After this year, I‘m pretty game to travel anywhere!!!

2. The only challenge I participate in is #bookspinbingo. I also join in #sundaybuddyread Those pretty much maximize my reading capabilities. I‘ve yet to actually get a bingo but most times I can knock out the spin and the double spin.

3. Tag anyone else who‘d like to play!

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

Thank you for the tag @Deifio

1) Africa, I've always wanted to see the Victoria Falls.
2) none. I'm doing a few buddy reads, but no challenges.

1. I tried so hard to get into Where the Crawdads Sing. I did finish it but just couldn‘t understand the hype.

2. Reading anything while close to the ocean calms me. 😊

3. Chocolate all the way! #WondrousWednesday. @Eggs

1. Finally read Allen Esken after years on my TBR, and Heather Webber for some magic.
2. I just read Anxious People, kind of is a good theme for me this year with all of the chaos in the polarized world.
3. I can run or knit, clean or drive while audio-ing. Reading provides an escape for me, takes me outside of my own little life.

Thanks for the tag @Cosmos_Moon !
1. I love flowers, especially hellebores, portulaca and lantana. But I have a special love for peony‘s too.
2. Perhaps Incandescent
3. I loved track and cross country. I loved watching games live- not on TV. Hockey, baseball, basketball.

Anyone else want to play? @ElizaMarie @mabell

Thanks @RamsFan1963 for the tag! Sorry I‘m late to post...I‘ve been pondering my answers.
1. Every trip I‘ve ever taken for showing me the world was bigger than my backyard.
2. My father. He was an avid reader growing up but his parents restricted it & crushed his love for books.
3. Normally it‘s that I can make someone‘s day easier and I miss that right now being furloughed.
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

#WondrousWednesday

1. “Snow Falling on Cedars” - I‘ve never read this book, even tho I‘ve long heard good things about. I‘m just about to change that... 📖
2. In my sunroom, on my daybed, with my [pesky, but don‘t tell him] cat. 😼
3. “What a Wonderful World,” as sung by Louis Armstrong [and others], but only in the most ironic way, alas, for it‘s really not my usual sense of things. 🤣

Such a beautiful post, Sherri—who can resist this one? ♥️

It's still #WondrousWednesday somewhere, right?

Thanks for the tag @KVanRead

1) My daughter is 2/3 Hermione and 1/3 Harry Potter 😁
2) my kids, books, sleep - not necessarily in that order
3) Not sure which is the strongest, but most annoying is (super) smell. I can do something about noise of any kind, but how do you clog your nose when it smells funny in the house?

@Eggs - interesting questions this week

Thanks @RamsFan1963
1. 🤔
2. Books, food, and my to-do list
3. Smell

My cat sitting down on my legs just before I was going to go into Downward Dog. She wouldn't budge and I didn't want claw marks in my thighs. So I checked Litsy.

The Mad Woman Upstairs + Wild Beauty + Much Ado About Nothing

I'm with @Texreader: "Don't break the spine!" Does the trick every time. ?

#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

I would love to have lunch with Stephen King. I‘d ask him if he‘s looking for a dog sitter for Molly - aka the Thing of Evil 🐶 and have my recommendations ready (just individual papers of nose and muddy paw prints). I probably own around 300-400 physical books. I give a lot away/donate so they can live on.
