We are now 3 weeks into 2022 and this is my weekly post for week 3.

#Week3 #WeeklyReadingUpdate #BookReport

Finished 7 Books (2 more than last week)

Read 2521 Pages (292 pages more than last week)

Very happy with that, best week so far.

Been in a bit of a book slump but definitely wanting to read more this year so mum found me a little 2022 reading challenge and here‘s hoping I can clear off some of my TBR books. I‘ll add the link to the post incase anyone else wants to join this one ☺️

The Coquette by Stanislas Dennis

This was really good and so sweet. I loved their adorable relationship. I loved watching their romance and seeing them together. I know this book was short, but it didn‘t feel that way you know? Also could you imagine being naught with a hunkie tattooed Santa 🥵. Highly recommend this for your naughty reads Christmas list.

This little bundle is heading to its‘ new home! Should arrive in plenty of time for open day 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾#BlitsySwap #BlitsyHistoryMonthSwap

Happy Litsiversery to me and everybody else tagged today!

Thanks for the tag, @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick ☺️

1.) Yes, sometimes I do.
2.) I mostly read my ebooks on my iPad because I don‘t own a Kindle, but it‘s not good for reading outside or in the sun so I don‘t recommend it. 😅

I‘m tagging random people in my list, so feel free to participate, or don‘t! 💖

Look at those end pages. Aren‘t they pretty?

Trying to read, but my brain will not stop spiraling. Maya‘s BFF spent the whole long weekend snowed in at our house. Monday morning they seemed off, so I sent them home. They tested + for Covid this afternoon. My younger sister has Covid too, and she is unvaxxed (despite our best efforts, she‘s not anti-vax but has a needle phobia) and considered high risk due to a BP condition. She‘s pretty sick. 😢

1: Only if I have no other options; however, it‘s my favorite device to listen to audiobooks on.
2: my Kindle Oasis. I read them on my iPad as well, but that‘s only because my library does not use Overdrive/Libby, so their ebooks aren‘t compatible with Kindle.

Thanks for the tag @EadieB

1. Sometimes, but my phone is perpetually full of photos & memes so I am more likely to stream audiobooks.

2. My Amazon Fire Tablet. It's cheap, colorized, and about the size of a physical book page.

@BooksNBowls @MatchlessMarie @MilesnMelodies Want to play?

#Two4Tuesday

1. Only in emergencies, like in a waiting room or somewhere else when I only have my phone.

2. I switch between my Kindle and the Kindle app on my iPad.

#Two4Tuesday

1. Not usually…unless I find myself somewhere with a few spare minutes and no book in my bag—something which doesn‘t happen often. 😂👜📚

2. My iPad because it handles both books and comics really well.

@TheSpineView

1. Occasionally but feels as if you are always turning pages.

2. I read most of my books on my iPad with the Kindle App and al the different library apps, e.g Borrow Box and Libby. Also listen to all my audiobooks through the Audible App. I am considering a Kindle Fire HD 10.

1) I used to read on my cell but not anymore as it‘s a little small for me 😅
2) Definitely my Kobo Touch 😘

I believe these are things we can do and should do everyday!! 💙💙💙💙

1. I have but I prefer physical books. It‘s too easy for me to lose focus when trying to read an e-book.

2. 🤷🏼‍♀️ e-books are my least preferred format. I have a kindle, which is convenient when traveling. But if I had to choose I‘d pick my third computer screen (that no one can see unless standing right behind me) when I‘m at work. 😉

Who hasn‘t played? Consider yourself tagged!

#Two4Tuesday

1. Only if I‘m without other options. Like at the dentist.
2. My Kindle for sure!

I read them on my cell when I want to be sneaky 😂 I like reading on my Kindle when I am in bed and I like a hardback book when I am anywhere else!

#Two4Tuesday

Thanks for tagging me @EadieB and @Eggs

1. I don‘t read on my phone, I do audio

2. I read on my iPad. Books available through the Gutenberg project for buddy reads or on Libby.

Consider yourself tagged if you want to play too

Thanks for the tag, @EadieB!

1. Heck no! If I'm without a physical book and have to look at my phone, rest assured that I'll be scrolling Litsy!

2. I have an older Kindle Paperwhite and I've only ever read e-books on it when I hike into the backcountry hauling a backpack where weight is a concern. The Kindle Paperwhite is so lightweight and compact that its perfect for bringing along a bunch of books without the excess pounds and/or mass.

#two4tuesdat
1. I have a small iPhone which makes it impossible to read on my mobile 🤨
2. I have an old kindle but it‘s quite heavy so I‘ve temporarily borrowed my daughters tablet 😂

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView Thanks for the tag!

1. No. Only if I don‘t have my iPad with me. I do listen to audiobooks with my cell phone.

2. My iPad is my favorite device to read books on kindle App

Apparently today is my 3-year litaversary! Not sure what book to post, so I chose all of them, I guess. Hopefully I‘ll have more great years and great reads ahead of me!

Hope everyone had a good weekend. 💕
Anybody got anything exciting happening this week?
It‘s my daughters 12th birthday on Wednesday and she‘s has asked for a home made afternoon tea…wonder what I‘ll be doing on my day off tomorrow!!

There's a reading challenge floating around on Facebook that some friends and I have decided to tackle. I just finished my #BuJo spread for tracking it. I don't usually like using fold-down pages, but I'm pretty happy with this one.

Sometimes, positive energy doesn‘t need words. What a morning ☕️🌞 #ThinkPositiveBePositive #sunrise #beautiful #autumn #throwback

#WeekendReads #JoyousJanuary #WeekendReading #BookNookBuddies2022

1. 🎧📚‘Keith‘ & 📖‘My Girls‘

2. 🌡-10/-17*C (12*F🌡)

Thanks for the tag @PageShifter 😝🥰

Hey #1619GroupRead Littens, the first snow day in 4 years has derailed my plans to kick off Chapter 1‘s discussion this morning. Between a house full of teens that need food on an hourly basis, tons of wet snow clothes, and now the loss of power, hopefully I‘ll be able to do it tonight. Sorry for the delay!

#Litsycrafters check-in. I‘ve got some spinning done this weekend and hope to do some more later. It relaxes me like nothing else.

Thank you for the tag @Andrew65

Free title translation will be When you Look At Me. A gift from a friend who is a historical romance reader. Set in 1796, Miranda, a British woman, married an unknown man in America to avoid a “scandal” after her father committed suicide and a way to stabilize her financial situation. Her husband unexpectedly died and there is a confuse situation with Mr. Hamilton. A hate/love relationship, cheesy, funny, predictable. I really enjoyed it. 3.4⭐️

It‘s been a bit of a week and I canceled my plans this weekend so a perfect time to start on my reading goals for #joyousjanuary #readathon @Andrew65

Hoping to finish 6-7 audiobooks this week, my kindle book and maybe 5 print books. I‘m off Monday so we‘ll see what I get done.

Starting with Skin of the Sea by Natasha Bowen
