Welcome to Litsy!

Last day of the month, below freezing outside, a CRAZY busy bag sale weekend, and an actual #tbrstack beside my bed... It's a #goodmorning to lie in and read.

This is book 37/365! #StayHomeReadMore #booknerdreads

The blurbs I've seen about this one are so accurate - it feels the same as watching "Get Out" with a mix of horror and utter disbelief at the things people will do to another living soul because of race. The history of discrimination against Black neighborhoods and their residents is well documented and relayed in this #thriller! #booknerdreads 16/365 5⭐

Today's #BookOfTheDay opens in the year 2079 with a slightly dystopian feeling - sirens and bunkers and the implied restructuring of the government - but transforms into a meandering story about a family. From the childhood tragedy to the quiet continuing of life as separate, but connected, adults, this story is a great #contemporaryfiction #bookclub pick, but personally not a book that satisfies. #BookNerdReads 14/365

Sunday naptime = reading time. Couch and ☕! I heard the tagged book was being adapted for the screen, so it's time to finish it up for my #booknerdreads 12/365 and move into book 13! I'm pretty damn excited for that one!

Posted my 4/365 on the bookshop Instagram earlier, but this showed up, so there is NO WAY I'm not shoving everything else to to the side to start this one tonight! It counts when I finish it, which I hope is not tonight only for my need for sleep. 5/365 @Shakespearience @ads0123 @EliNeedsMoreShelves #LMPBC #GroupL #BookNerdReads

I was all ready with a cute post about curling up with a #book when the #GoblinTeen shamed me. "Don't use the dog for your bookstore propaganda!" ??

I'm settling in to read this for the #mARCupbookclub - a new Kate Quinn #WWII novel. So far we've seen the fiction tied with familiar faces in #AlanTuring and #PrincePhillip, but the story focuses on three female #codebreakers based in #BletchleyPark. So far so good! #booknerdreads

I hope they never try to put this book on the big screen because they will NEVER do it justice. #booknerdreads

The #teenagers are watching #anime, the #puppy is flopped on the floor for #naptime, and I'm attempting only my third #jamespatterson book ever.

I graduated #highschool the year this #womensmurderclub was published. I feel like I missed a lot of #books and #bookseries that are still popular now while I was working and having kids. Now it's nice to go back to them and see how they hold up to today's world. #booknerdreads

Oh... This is why I hate self-publishing. I found SPELLING AND GRAMMAR ERRORS IN THE DOUBLE DIGITS BEFORE PAGE FIVE!!! I cannot shout about that enough. Editors are wonderful people and cannot be replaced by your computer's spell-check. If your local authors self-publish and use editors, please thank them for being responsible stewards of the written word. #booknerdreads

Book, tea, and Silent Book Club at the bookshop. #selfcare

I will be honest, I don't research books before I read them. Sometimes I don't even read the back. I ONE HUNDRED PERCENT judge by the cover. So I didn't expect the immediate hit from this book. About a pandemic. That spreads internationally with a high death toll... Too soon? Might be too soon. #booknerdreads
