I decided to test out my beginner knitting skills by making a book snake reading tracker. I‘m very pleased it‘s only a little “rustic” looking so far. I‘m also laughing at the comically large (2lbs) bag of stuffing I accidentally ordered.

I always believed that the true pot of gold at the end of the rainbow 🌈 is not filled with actual gold, it is a collection of genuine magic...or a passage to a magical library 😉🪄📚💝.

While technically I am still working on both spins for February and one of my spins for January, it‘s not gonna stop me from trying to complete March as well. Luckily, I have one of these done already, and both of them are part of two other challenges. Which is not hard since most of the books on the spin are challenge books… Lol. #bookspinbingo

Happy #5JoysFriday 💛💛💛
My joys have been simple.
1) spending time in the sunshine
2) family walk in the woods, discovering flowers
3) while enjoying the Merlin app
4) book mail is best mail
5) redecorating the children's book nook

@TheBookHippie
There are different versions of this legend, my favorites are the longer ones. I found a shorter version of the beginning from the web so I could share here for International Women's Day 2025.
I always liked the beginning, because I felt it hinted how men need to show respect to all woman... whether they recognize the woman as a Holy person or simply human.
Have A Power-Infused Women's Day!

Thank you @AllDebooks for creating #SaturdayChatterday and thank you @TheSpineView for the tag 💕🐎💝.
After some errands, I plan on a mixture of books & movies...(watch something strong-woman focused to celebrate International Women's Day) while snacking on goodies 📚🎬😋.

Thanks @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday & for the tag 💖🌺💝.
1- @TheSpineView has returned to Litsy! It's wonderful to know that you're alright and on the mend 🙏🏼💝.
I always keep my Litsy friends in my prayers and good wishes. When regulars vanish (TheSpineView, bthegood, @JudeCC, & other Littens), I remain hopeful that they're simply too busy 💝.
May your recovery be swift TheSpineView, I an enjoying reading your posts again 📚💝.

I'm sure I've watched more...yet it's been years and I'm not 100 percent certain.
-Love Affair (1939)
Love Cary Grant, yet this is my favorite version of this movie. Especially that last scene, I believe Charles Boyer captured the intensity of the moment incredibly more than Grant did (sorry Carry 😘 Grant).
-The Wizard of Oz (1939).
-Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939).
I‘m doing a #Roll100 list for audiobooks and a separate one for physical/ebooks. I‘m really trying to clear space on my shelves & read books I already own.
Here‘s my audiobook progress for January (2) & February (5).
Here‘s my #LitsyAtoZ board by Title. I actually have the same number completed on both my Author & Title boards. 🤓
Thank you for hosting this fun challenge, @Texreader 💙💙
I‘m happy with the progress I‘m making in my #ReadMyShelves personal challenge. Hopefully I‘ll read some more of my physical books this month. 🤓📚🤓

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky became a hero the day his country was invaded. He has shown that he has the endurance to be the warrior his people need. May Ukraine win the victory of true peace that they are fighting for 🙏🏼🇺🇦💝💝💝.

😬
While the world enters its Rats Fighting In A Sack publically era, I am getting back into my favourite Litsy challenges and buddy reads to try and cope.
First up is a re read of Making Money for #OokBookClub with @julesG (discussion starts 7th March).
Also my second time reading The Stand for the #LosersClub with @BarkingMadRead
I first read The Stand in February 2020 so I'm forming a habit of turning to it in, ahem, "interesting times"
#kobo
I read 7 books in February. My favorites were The Bright Sword, Fourth Wing, and Witchcraft For Wayward Girls.
I read both my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin books, Hard Times and The Bright Sword. They were also my #ReadOrDonate books, both of which I'm keeping 😺
@TheAromaofBooks @julieclair
Hey!! I have a birthday wish!! Post pictures of your pets!! It‘s my 49th birthday and cuddling up to books is not always the best substitute to a pet. ( And/ or books and pets) So for my birthday could you guys post pictures of your pets? Please?! Our building has a no pet policy now. I think of what I would I would name my animals ( or children- but I‘m in peri-menopause now, lol) all the time, probably too much, lol. Fred, Barney for 2 males 😉
pick#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii 1) My faith has been keeping me calm and as good to how I treat others 2) My mom got her hearing aids adjusted today so she can hear me 🩷 even though the audiologist said now everyone else might sound like they are screaming because my voice is so low. Even the audiologist couldn‘t hear me, lol. I love my mommy 🩷🩷😇 3) I am taking an online class 4) I am finally going to get my spinal stimulator removed!! I just 👇🏽
#Bookspin My list is all books I own this month. It‘s made up of a few I have started and set aside in the past, a few my husband picked, random others, and possibly my oldest unread Kindle book.
I‘m currently behind on the first two months picks, and I may have become slightly obsessed with watching Midsomer Murders so we‘ll see how March goes.
Obviously, I need to step up my movie-watching game! Three I‘d like to see are:
1. Rebecca
2. From Here to Eternity
3. Mrs. Miniver
