At the beginning of the year I picked 25 books I wanted to definitely check off my bookshelves in 2025.
I am going okay(ish) some big chunkers waiting for me. But I ticked off Middlemarch last night, & I am now down to 7. I am going to add most of those to my #10beforetheend challenge and push through on them! I know everyone loves Anne of Green Gables, I do not know why it has been so hard for me to pick it up, it was even a bookspin 1 month.
#TLT #threelistthursday
Thanks to everyone who shared their favorite spooky/scary movies last week. I added them to the list I already created of Scary Books. Caution: Some are cute (talking to you, CASPER), and some are truly horrific (for me, still THE EXORCIST). They're on the same list. 😱 I also linked the movie if I could to “Just Watch“ so that you could see streaming opportunities. 🧡💜💛

Ok, so Canada Post is sorta back in business. I've sent my package off today, so hopefully it arrives by the end of the month. 🤞🎃👻📚 I'm going to have to spoil the surprise and tag may partner just in case. @DinoMom @MaleficentBookDragon #AHRS

Walking the dogs today while it's in the 70's and with a light cool breeze. Now I remember why I live here. 🧡💜💛

We do not care that we woke up this morning, walked into the den, and promptly stepped into not one, but two separate piles of dog vomit in our bare feet. We (I guess) consider it lucky that we missed stepping into the THIRD pile. It's been quite a morning already.
Care to share your #WDNC's? I'd love to read 'em!
If you like corn mazes, alpha wolves, and spooky season - this book is for you. lol
This is a short & ghost pepper spicy read on Kindle Unlimited. It's Alphas looking for their Omega.
I will say, I love almost everything Imani Jay puts out. If you like multicultural spicy reads, she does give you some jalapeño to Carolina Reaper spicy.
ONCE AGAIN, this is GHOST PEPPER SPICY.
Sharing is caring.

Dear CVS,
We do not care that there are only 5 days left to pick up that prescription. We did not ask for you to refill that prescription. We especially did not ask for you to refill that prescription the day after we picked up the prescription we actually did need. Lose my number please. #WDNCW @dabbe
I got litsy mail today and it made my day! Thank you @Cuilin and @Butterfinger !! 🥰
Inspired by @uncommonlycozies here‘s my last fully bloomed rose that hasn‘t yet succumbed to falling apart from the raindrops of yesterday and today. There‘s a metaphor in there somewhere, I‘m sure… #BeautyBreak
Bookriot has a story on Georgia's “Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl,“ a statewide program to promote reading in Georgia schools. According to the story, this year the program caved to pressure from book banners and removed 8 (40%!) of the already-announced 20 titles from the high school list.
You'll be shocked, I'm sure, to hear that they left only one work by a Black author on the approved list. And they spelled her name wrong. Shocked.
I got my #ModernWitchSwap from @wildwoodreads now the torture begins 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #LitsySwaps #2025Swaps #ModernWitchSwap2025
I cannot believe it, but, next week kicks off the last 10 weeks of 2025. So here we go!
For those who would like to participate it is time for the annual #10BeforeTheEnd
Pick 10 books, dedicate yourself to finishing them before the end of the year. Super simple.
Tag me if you want to join, I love seeing people's lists!
I was nervous about posting for #beautybreak because I never want to leave anyone out who wants to participate.
I hope I got all the #littens that are on the original tag list 🤗
Does anyone else have rose varieties that bloom twice a year? 💐

A book I was wanting to read since a long time. Now that I have finished the 10 massive volumes of the Critical Edition of the Mahabharata, I can finally begin!

First, Pippa is fine; she came out of both like the champ that she is. We may have to readjust her medications because two in two days is not good.

Many shifts in mood. Relief that our storm was manageable, rather an unevent. Elation that Hostages are released;glad but so sad for the Palestinians who are returning to their devastated, war torn country;tacos for dinner! Oh & so happy to have the day off to finish up some projects, read, cook!
pickI didn‘t find this in the database
A book about two penguins that love to make wedding cakes.
A really cute story with even cuter illustrations that even manage to include some same sex marriage themes
Some treats from my visit to MOMA. Two magnets, magnetic book clips/markers, MOMA pin.

It really is close to no exaggeration that if I had $1 for every time the NYTimes listed Phoenix as one of the top three places to watch out for danger due to the immensely high heat, I'd be rich. Yesterday, Phoenix was listed as a place for “excessive rain“. Wha--? I have NEVER seen our city included for this type of weather risk. We have been besieged with rain and mosquitos so far this October. But I'll never grouch at temps in the 70s.
We took the girls to a pumpkin patch and got to see lots of animals too. Definitely feeling autumn vibes today 🍂🍁

You gave me a task ...
then went and did it yourself,
stepping on my toes.

#justonemorechapter @TheAromaofBooks 🧡💜💛
A day late, but still participating! I'm getting to the point in these two books where the “just one more chapter“ will start to take off:
•THE MYSTERY OF THE BLUE TRAIN: Agatha Christie (last month's #christiecapers read)
•CARMILLA : J. Sheridan Le Fanu (a precursor by 25 years to DRACULA).
I hope to get both finished by the end of this readathon.
I was in desperate need of a puppy couch day 🧡🧡
Saturday afternoon….diamond art in progress
(A highland cow)
October 11th is Love Your Bookshop Day and I had a lovely day! I started with a 3 card tarot spread at Ramona Books in Northcote and met the lovely Toni Jordan who floating around giving out book recommendations, I added 2 new penguin titles to my collection so I could get my personal penguin, had the most delicious brunch and earl grey matcha, before heading off to visit Amplify Bookstore (near the Queen Vic Market).
#MWS @BookwormAHN @BarkingMadRead Swap package is on its way. Due to arrive Tuesday. Kim, I forgot to enclose the card before taping it up so mailed it separately. Also, clerk put it in a mailer so it will look different than the starry night envelope.
#AHRS @MaleficentBookDragon @AmyG Swap package on its way also due to arrive Tuesday. Amy, the box also has your bday gift. All is wrapped so you can open that part on time. 🎂🎈
