Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView #two4tuesday

1. Yes… a few years ago one of my friends through my a surprise birthday dinner
2. Yes if they are done well!

@BethM @JenReadsAlot @peaknit

1- in true WI fashion, there‘s a cheese store that makes incredible cheese curds and mozzarella sticks! Cedar Valley Cheese Store

2- yes! Definitely anything around baking because I love it so much. Coffee shops too.
#two4tuesday @hannah-leeloo @Bklover

1. All the Broken Places by John Boyne.
2. Nothing special, getting through it to spring!
Thank you for the tag @Kshakal @TheSpineView #two4tuesday

I usually read library books first, in the order the hood comes in, the book club picks and then whatever I feel like reading. My favorite day of the week is every single day, but so have more focus on Sunday afternoon. #Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

#two4tuesday @TheSpineView

1. Shelter
2. Not necessarily but a well done one word title can be super powerful

@BethM @JenReadsAlot @peaknit

1. I prefer making some homemade dessert for my family and everyone gathering to eat it ❤️ but my dad has given me a heart filled with chocolates since I was a toddler and I‘m 50 now, so that is what I enjoy getting because I‘m sentimental like that. Just from dad.
2. Something sugar sweet by Katherine Center or sappy by Nicholas Sparks.
#two4tuesday

I got my new champagne gold Kindle Oasis set up! Browsing through my 72 pages of Kindle ebooks, and, boy folks, I remember all the weird stuff I have found for free. Here's to many more weird reads.

1. I like all things 80‘s music. 2. Gingerbread. @TheSpineView @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego #Two4Tuesday

1. I prefer crime over cozy mystery. Cozies are very hit or miss for me.

2. Cozies always have a theme, and are usually on the cutesy side. They also lack “thrill”.

@ShyBookOwl #Two4Tuesday

Thanks for the tag @SaturnDoo
1. No
2. I used to listen to audio books when I had a long commute but rarely do now because I never have time to listen for more than a short time.
#two4tuesday @TheSpineView

1. One, but I may circle back to it. A YA title that didn‘t grab me right away.

2. Not habits, but OCD compulsions (the real deal, not the adjective I wish people would stop using). Mostly blurting out random word interjections when reading, or sometimes compulsive rereading. It all sucks and slows me down.

#two4tuesday

#two4tuesday Thank you for the tag Cindy @Cinfhen 💕💕💕
1. I do, but not often. A couple of favorites are the Secret Lives of People in Love by Simon Van Booy, and Delicate Edible Birds by Lauren Groff.
2. I am. I have a group of #IRL friends that have 3 bookclubs a month, all currently on Zoom, but sadly I only make it to the one that I head up most months, due to my retail schedule.... but I have zoom happy hour with them once a week too 🍸💕😊

These are all pre-pandemic answers!
1. DVDs, CDs, book club, summer book preview, fundraising gala, etc. I renewed my passport at the library. Before we had wireless at home, I tried to telework at the library, but it was too noisy! I‘ve also taken advantage of their tote bag loan when I checked out a lot of books.
2. Hardly ever. Except when the labels don‘t match the shelves and I have to find something!
#two4tuesday

1. Of course it does!!
2. Usually in December but I might do it on Friday this year... 2020 has been rough and I need a little festivity in my life!

@BethM @peaknit @JenReadsAlot

#two4tuesday @TheSpineView

Thanks @kimdegener for the tag!!!

1. I had one book that I hunted for years - library books sales, a book sale that happens at the state fair grounds, online sites, etc. It was a tough find and I decided to look at one more book sale and if I couldn‘t find it, it wasn‘t meant to be and I ended up finding it there and it is was in great condition.
2. Neither, I drink water.

@ElizaMarie @jb72 @AkashaVampie

So, I miss just the random conversations I used to have with people, I miss the movies, miss going out to eat... I am working pretty much same hours (maybe more) so I do have socialization at work

I feel like its a little more because on my days off I would have explored a bit more but now I cant.

Thanks @AsYouWish for the tag... I love these get to know you type of questions
#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1. First of all I miss all my students and the routine of the school day. Second I miss alone time, this may sound strange, but I don‘t have any alone time now that I am home all day, everyday.
2. I find that I am getting through a lot more books. I have also read a lot more of my physical books, usually I listen to audiobooks or have a library book on my phone for when I am at work.

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1. Coach
2. No, I have looked but haven‘t ordered any. I have, however pulled out a bunch of books I have received over the past couple years and started to try to read those.

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

@ElizaMarie @Clwojick @Meaw_catlady

1. I am looking forward to reading the Institute (I had been wanting to read it but I hadn't had the opening to start it and... now I do!)

2. I usually just read the book club books ( #NWC and #PLC ) and then after that fly baby fly!!! Just whatever holds come in. Whatever people recommend. Working on the physical TBRs (which the Institute is one of them)

Thanks @AsYouWish and @jb72 for the tag!!!

1. All the books!!! Haha... I have a lot of books lined up to read this month.
2. Both. I am now officially a part of 11 reading groups, yes you read that correctly. So some of my books fit prompts for those groups, but I also a mood reader so I pick books and then try to figure out if they work for any of the criteria.

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1. Yes! So many times, to either make it last longer or to change what happens.

2. No, I don‘t believe I have ever thrown a book, but I have done the slow close and sigh, with a possible eye roll. Then I rewrite it in my head to make it all better!! Or I start writing a fan fiction story.

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1. If it has really good characters, a compelling plot, and I don‘t guess any of the twists.
2. Yes

#two4tuesday

1. I would say it is 5 stars if I can see myself rereading it or if it sticks with me so much that I don‘t need to reread it.

2. Yes, I have had a couple books that while reading I didn‘t really like, but a couple days after finishing I realized how wonderful it actually was. Bird Box was an example of this.

#Two4Tuesday

1. Yes! I love to write.
2. Romance or I love to write fan fiction, so I might write something based on something else.

#Two4Tuesday

1. Yes, I love to review books and give my opinions on them.

2. Sometimes Litsy, mostly on my blog and lately on Instagram.

#tuesdaytidbits #thisorthat @JenlovesJT47

Then laying on the couch watching The Princess Bride. (I guess some things never change!)

1. Self-help, though I don‘t read much
2. Baseball
3. Never read Capote and hated Hemingway in HS
4. Tacos!!
5. @silentrequiem

@RestlessFickleBookHoarder

Thanks for the tag, @jillannjohn !

1. Alice. Because of believing impossible things.
2. Usually hardcover, but it depends on the book. I prefer big chunksters in hardback—I don‘t like tiny mass market paperbacks that are 2 inches thick because the book is so long! But at times I prefer a nice slim paperback to easily slip into my bag.
3. Definitely fantasy!
4. Ugh. Neither.
5. @MommyWantsToReadHerBook —want to play?
#TuesdayTidbits #ThisOrThat

1. Historical fiction, but I need to read more nonfiction.
2. I like both, but Star Wars has a slight edge (they have Harrison Ford!)
3. 🍔
4. I love them both! Don‘t make me choose!! 💔

#ThisOrThat #TuesdayTidbits @JenlovesJT47

📖 I would have to say Number the Stars, I still remember the first time reading it and to this day I just get this overwhelming feeling of closeness to the characters.
🎬The Breakfast Club (one of my favorites)
🎤Build Me Up Buttercup (Totally thought this song had something to do with The Princess Bride 😂)
👉Anyone that wants to!

🥀Beauty and the Beast
⚓️Captain Hook
🎬I loved Once Upon A Time, I love the newest Beauty and the Beast movie, Hook, Pan and the live action Peter Pan! I could go on, I love movies!
👉Anyone that hasn't done it yet!

#TuesdayTidbits @JenlovesJT47

Always - and if I‘m near the end I‘ll always have another one!
No, doesn‘t fit into my working life, location and opening hours. I just buy books.....way too many books.....
Yes, I travel a lot with work so I can take hundreds with me....still tend to read physical when not travelling.
