Depending on my mood and my headspace I go back and forth between audiobooks and physical books. Sometimes I even do both at the same time, which is a lot of fun to feel even more immersed in the story!

pickJace was too interested to “read” the book to stop and smile for mom. Happy Wacky Wednesday to my Litsy family! 🤗
#Jace
P.S. This book is really cute, and although silly, teaches kids to pay more attention to their surroundings. 4⭐️
🏔🏕⛱Mountains, Camping, or The Beach 🎙Crazy-Gnarls Barkley 🐴I used to Show Jump horses, but quit in HS because I committed to Theatre & Choir instead. I miss it so much & hope to get back into it in the future. I feel so free on the back of a horse. 🥰 #WondrousWednesday 🏷 Anyone reading this post! 💜
💎I can say that my tastes have expanded due to the exposition with different media like Litsy, YouTube, book clubs. Through them I have learned about different authors, I have explored different genres. 💎Different factors like my family, significant persons, events, circumstances 💎I love to be at home too. It is a way to calm down, to reflect on what is happening, a chance to reorganize my personal & physical space. Thanks @Chrissyreadit
1. Yes over past week- less, but because of Litsy in general more- thanks to challenges, buddy reads and LMPBC ❤️
2. Greta Thunberg, AOC, First Line responders, my kids
3. I have time to prepare meals. I love being home.

? Buddy reads and swaps when I can
? Today, when I had another look at my bank balance ??
? "Wilt thou rob this leathern-jerkin, crystal-button, knot-pated, agate-ring, puke-stocking, caddis-garter, smooth-tongue, Spanish pouch?"
? Anyone who still has that Wednesday feeling ?
Thanks for the tag, @CouronneDhiver ! #wondrousWednesday @Eggs
1) I have multiple favorites! Obviously Mr. Darcy & Circe was surprisingly relatable & I had multiple characters from The Stand who I loved.
2) favorite: red or purple
Least favorite: some shades of brown & green
3) Mediterranean scrambled eggs with feta & spinach (I had produce that needed to be used) & of course I had my cold brew coffee.
4) I used to write & knit
5) My phone, but I always carry a lot in my purse.
#HumpDayPost @MinDea
1. I don‘t play chess but I took a screenshot of this b/c I want it anyway
2. I don‘t cook...at all...ever. But I guess matzo ball soup — it‘s easy & everyone loves it even if they think the matzo balls look unappetizing at first
3. Reading, cleaning, praying for a job
4. Margaret Atwood, Luis Alberto Urrea, Toni Morrison, Neil Gaiman, many more
5. Not sweating (once it finally arrives, which in the Bay Area isn‘t until like November) #humpdaypost
1. Went to a wine and balloon festival last month 🍷
2. Relaxing
3. Morning, because that usually means I get to read all day. Reading before work is too distracting for me.
4. A little. We only moved here in May & the neighbors seem super friendly, but I can‘t say we‘ve hung out or anything.
5. Find something easy & engaging to read.
#humodaypost
1. Feels like forever ago, but we went to the beach with very dear friends.
2. Listening to podcasts and tidying.
3. I love reading in the morning with my coffee.
4. Friendly-ish, my husband gets along with them better than I do, let‘s just say being super liberal in the country has its drawbacks.
5. Rereading an old favorite or finding an unputdownable ya usually does the trick for me, but sometimes you‘ve got to wait it out.
#humpdaypost
☕️ Cafe lunch with my favorite people

2) The Martian - different from the book, but equally entertaining
3) 50+ there's a lot of lettuce plants on my balcony
4) Religious Education
5) pigeons, ravens, big tits,... and there's a jay we feed in winter
