What helped me thru the tough time of loss & suffering… ❤️‍🩹❤️

I finished my #BookSpin and my first book for #COYER. This was wonderful and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series, The Art of Purring.

I thought I had posted this, but I guess Litsy ate it. On top of that, I went through my Kindle twice, my computer, and my Content on Amazon looking for my #DoubleSpin book and somehow I don't have it?! *sigh* today has been an interesting day, technology-wise. I'll either pick another book from my #BookSpin list or only read the tagged book; regardless, I'll be adding at least one new book for #COYER to my list for February.

I've never done this before on Litsy, but on my blog, I write a weekly post titled #DownTheTBRHole in which I go through my Want to Read shelf 5 books at a time and decide whether or not I want to keep them. I sprained my ankle and am stuck at home today, so I thought I would play around with PicCollage and see what I can come up with.
