Litsy

Books go out. Books come in.

I picked up a copy of the tagged book from the local freecycle group. It‘s a chunkster!

Meanwhile, I‘m saying sayonara to this Michener book and have started whittling away at the June Real Simple issues.

I‘m also pleased to report that I asked myspouse to go through a pile of t-shirts, and he unhauled enough to fill a tote bag.

I‘m loving this book! Finally got to do a bit of #audiocycling once Minerva let me use the bike! My #BFC21 goal for February is 20 minutes exercise/day so I‘m planning to do 10 minutes on the bike twice a day. I hope to eventually work my way up to 30 minutes/day and get to over 5000 steps daily. #babysteps

The Hate U Give | Angela Thomas

Never thought I‘d be able to say this, but I‘m re-reading The Hate U Give FOR WORK 🙌 This year it‘s a faculty #summerreading option (thanks to me suggesting it) — hopefully it‘ll be for students someday 🤞🙏

The Wonder | Emma Donoghue

Ugh, I'm SO overwhelmed but I have guilt too because it's my procrastination that got me here. Crappy morning with the kids so I feel like a stellar human being... ? I'm going to console myself that I'm still kinder than Lib Wright! My "body bag" helps perk me up a bit too... LOL

Trashcanman I hope today gets kinder, and that tomorrow is even better still. ❤️🤗 6y

IamIamIam @Trashcanman Thanks, GL! I really needed that today!!! 🤗🖤 6y

AmyG Sending a hug. Some days just plain suck. But then...there‘s tomorrow. 😘 6y

AmyG Ahhhh, no rush. And thank you in advance. 6y

IamIamIam @AmyG I was so excited, I found a book locally!! That meant I actually got to shop for trinkets! Haha 6y

AmyG 🎉🎉🎉I am very excited now! 😘 6y

Tamra I always say tomorrow is a do over! 6y

IamIamIam @Tamra 🤗🤗🤗 Thank you!! I needed that reassurance! I'm making progress on the dolls even if the laundry isn't doing itself! 🤣 #babysteps 6y

Tamra @IamIamIam ugh, the laundry. It will always be there later. 😆 6y

IamIamIam @Tamra I love that meme of a huge pile of laundry & it says, "The Neverending Story for adults!" Lol 6y

Tamra @IamIamIam bahahaha yes! Same with the advent calendar for moms. Little piles of laundry. 😂 6y

IamIamIam @Tamra LMFAO!!!!!! Oh my, that's CRUEL!!! 😂😂😂😂 6y

IamIamIam @Tamra BTW, I've got 4 hours left... I can't stop listening, even if they're all making me crazy!!!! Lol 6y

Tamra @IamIamIam 👌🏾😁 It is infuriating. 6y

IamIamIam @Tamra 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 Ummmm..... 6y

The Circle | Dave Eggers

I FINISHED A BOOK! I want to scream it from the rooftops!

For some reason during this pregnancy my ability to focus lasts for roughly 45 seconds.... but last night I FINISHED The Boy on The Bridge, which was amazing! I‘m sad it took so long to power through it! But guess what, y‘all? I picked up the circle and read almost 50 pages!! I. AM. HOOKED!
So now it‘s 1 book down 11 to go before this kid gets here! #babysteps

Phlamboyant I thought I was going to get all the reading and crafting done during my last pregnancy and neither of those things happened. Doing those things with a baby are struggle enough, but pregnancy brain wouldn't even let me focus before he came?! 6y

Saga, Vol. 1 | Brian K. Vaughan

#LetsGetGraphicWeeklongMarathon Reflections:

Read: 4

Going into this week, I‘d read Vol. 1 of Paper Girls & that‘s about it. My goal was to become a convert: get excited! Make it so I wanted to read more! Get hooked! Get over my bias!

It wasn‘t a total success - but not a failure, either; I read 400% more comics than I would have otherwise. I‘ll continue Saga but that‘s the extent of my plans. I‘d join another marathon & try again. #babysteps

Clwojick, TricksyTails

monalyisha Edit: I will also commit to at least trying Buffy Season 8; I somehow forgot I had it. 🤷‍♀️ (edited) 7y

Clwojick 👏👏👏👏 Glad you joined us! 7y

TricksyTails Happy you joined in the fun! 🤗 7y

Ta2dfreek Saga is AMAZEBALLS! Seriously one of my fav new era comics. I stopped at Vol 5 only cuz I‘ve been broke as hell. Looking forward to getting back into it again though! 7y

Plain Christmas | Sarah Price

At least I have lights. #BabySteps Maybe I'll have ornaments by Friday. 🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁

Chelleo Pretty! Personally, I could have a tree with only white lights. 7y

EchoLogical @Chelleo Yeah, this looks way better than my finished tree 😂 7y

Chelleo And it's easy to take down after Christmas! 🤣 7y

goodbyefrancie I love the white lights. Looks elegant, I think. I'll pile all of that other crap in it in a couple of days, but I'll enjoy this until then. 😍 7y

RebL Wait... it‘s time to put up the tree? 7y

Colin and the Magic Bookmark | Merv Lambert

Thank you, @Clwojick for hosting this #bookmarkswap! I‘ve wanted to participate in an exchange of sorts for a while, and this definitely fits the bill for my first go round. Perhaps it will be a #gatewayswap that leads to future #litsygoespostal #swaps & #exchanges! #babysteps #bookmarklove

Clwojick Oh it is 100% addictive. My first one was end up September and since then I've signed up for four😳 7y

JackOBotts @Clwojick uh oh...sounds like I‘m in trouble...especially since I love #happymail! 😬 But it‘s a good kind of trouble. 😋 I‘m tempted to sign up for so many that I see, but I‘ve resisted. Yours is perfect for getting my feet wet! 🤗 7y
