One Night (Hand) Stand is an #ARC provided by the author. #RomCom
Five Broken Blades, #audiobook, I'm reading it because a friend recommended it. Incidentally, the same friend who recommended Fourth Wing and I think we really don't have the same taste in books. I'm underwhelmed.
Both first books in series.

I only read 4 books in January. I admit I wasn't really in the mood. In the beginning of January, I was sick, on the 18th I attended a funeral of a cousin that I had never met, & on the 21st it snowed. Lukey loved the snow.
My favorite book this month was The Shining 🖤
My #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin books: The Teller of Small Fortunes & You Might Be A Zombie were both dnfed. They will also be donated for #ReadOrDonate

Tonight is the anniversary of my uncle's suicide. I'm handling it better than I have in the past (it's the 14th year). I still have anxiety in certain situations. I'm also in a fibromyalgia flare and on my period to top it all off. I'm thankful for my online friends, on all my platforms, for being there. Tell your people you love them before you can't.
Thanks @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday & for the tag 💖🌺💝. Hope you and yours are keeping safe and warm and that your power has returned.
1- Homemade deliciousness, Pizza 🍕, cookies 🍪, and meatballs 😋💝.
2- January 2025 was too chaotic, glad for February 2025 to begin...hopefully far more calmer 🙏💝.
3- sleeping better now that the Rains have been here...and there is more in the forecast! Prayers for those in the scary storms 🙏💝.

Happy #5JoysFriday 💛

The books are mostly free on Kindle. There are books for Nook,Apple, or Universal (go through book funnel) I downloaded a few. Goes from no spicy - to ghost chili pepper.

Day 19. Author you love
#AuthorYouLove
I can‘t really choose just one, so here are 3 authors whom I‘ve been reading a lot of lately and admire their work!
Pictured: Stephen King, Alice Walker, Isabel Cañas.
I‘m looking for book recommendations for my nearly 9 year old nephew‘s birthday in April. I‘m struggling with this age range a bit. I think it‘s because I lean toward spooky, mystery and fantasy and most of my historical fiction picks are YA.
I‘m tagging a few of you who might have suggestions, but I would appreciate any suggestions!
The rains have come 🥳🌬️🌧️🪄🌧️💃🌧️💫💖.
We're grateful and praying for the burned area 🙏💝.

Thank you @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday & for the tag 💖🌺💝.
I usually wait until Friday evening to post my five joys just in case something extra special happens...today I figured why not a little bit earlier ☺️💖.
1- No Martial Law has been declared 🙏🇺🇸.
2- firefighters (always grateful) 👨🚒🦸👩🚒🦸♂️🧑🚒🦸♀️🙏💝.
3- Rain should be coming. Hopefully enough, yet calm. Californians are all worried for landsides and toxic run off

Happy #5JoysFriday 💛 First, I wanted to leave this over empty (you know why), but then I decided that I won't let them win. Finding joys is a tiny act of rebellion, because they want us to be afraid.
1) Tasty Italian dinner with @VaniBarelyReads and FIL
2) Stupid mental health walk with @VaniBarelyReads
3) Actually doing what's on my to do list
4) These little Dodge cars @VaniBarelyReads gave me
5) two cups of Koawach each day

Refusing to watch the inauguration today. Trying to keep from spiraling with the catastrophic thoughts by playing with my grandson, watching comfort shows, and taking things easy. Sending love to all who are needing it today.
🙏🇺🇸🦅🇺🇲💝.
Prayers for my sisters and brothers in the wilds of land, water, and sky 🙏🦅💝.

This Hiawatha wampum belt tells the story of the Haudenosaunee's legendary story of three: Peacemaker, Hiawatha and Jigonsaseh (the first clan mother) who together convinced hate filled hearts into becoming forgiving and peaceful, uniting five (multi-generation) warring Nations.
As one story tells, after Hiawatha lost his daughters, he had a reason to continue his hatred...but he instead chose to forgive and fight for peace.

I couldn't find a 2025 planner with all the bells and whistles that I needed, or they were too expensive...I therefore decided to make my own. A desk version and one for my handbag.
If anyone is having difficulty finding a new planner this year, perhaps you can also make your own. You can even use store bought stickers to decorate your cover.
