Happy #Chatterday ☕️

I'm bimbling in the garden, tidying up and sowing seeds in between catching up with #buddyreads

What are your plans for today?

All welcome to join in. 😊

Tagging a few to start us of @thebookhippie @dabbe @Bookwormjillk @Cuilin @Chrissyreadit @Librarybelle

Bookwormjillk What are you planting? Enjoy your day! I‘m heading out for a stream clean up then taking some rest. There‘s a tall ships tour tonight we might go see if it‘s not raining. 3d

Librarybelle Have a great day! I‘m hoping for a lot of rest—Zeke took another bad turn yesterday, after several good days, so hanging with kitties and rest are on my agenda. 3d

ElizaMarie Just having my coffee in bed. Not sure what my day plans are yet. Its a bit rainy out 3d

Cuilin Thankfully I‘m feeling so much better as my husband bought me and my daughters tickets to see Snow Patrol in Boston. He‘s our chauffeur so we have a ride to and from MGM Fenway. I‘ll probably spend most of tomorrow sleeping. Lol 3d

Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle sorry Zeke is having a bad day 3d

Deblovestoread @LibraryBelle Sorry to hear Zeke had a bad day. Hope both of you are able to rest. @Cuilin. Love Snow Patrol so much! Enjoy! Glad you are feeling better, too. (edited) 3d

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk Oh wow, I hope you get to see the tour. I'm starting with sunflowers, nasturtiums and wildflowers. 3d

AllDebooks @Librarybelle Poor Zeke (and you)! Sending much love x 3d

AllDebooks @ElizaMarie Always a good start to a day x 3d

AllDebooks @Cuilin Yay, I'm so glad you're feeling better. Enjoy Snow Patrol 😊 3d

Deblovestoread I‘m getting caffeinated under my heated throw with Pippin in my lap. Once I log off Litsy I‘ll read a bit and then get ready to go to a local Hands Off protest. I‘m a bit nervous as I‘ve always used my voice and protested from the safety of my home but I can‘t ignore this call to action. 3d

Librarybelle Thanks, @Bookwormjillk @Deblovestoread @AllDebooks ! ❤️ 3d

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk as a shanty singer‘s daughter I love a tall ships festival. 3d

Cuilin @Librarybelle sending love for you and Zeke. 3d

Cuilin @ElizaMarie ugh the weather is so blah today in Keene. 3d

Cuilin @Deblovestoread thanks, yesterday I managed to leave the house. It was for bloodwork but still I felt really good. Well done on attending the protest!!!! Stay safe. 3d

Librarybelle Thanks, @Cuilin ! ❤️ 3d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Sounds like a busy and beautiful day! 🩵💙🩵 3d

dabbe @Librarybelle Oh, no. Poor Zeke. Hope you and your four babies cuddle together all day. 🩵💙🩵 3d

dabbe @ElizaMarie I love when the entire day is open like that. The world is your oyster! 🩵💙🩵 3d

dabbe @Cuilin Yay to you getting out for a fun event with your family! 🤩🤩🤩 3d

dabbe @Deblovestoread You go, girl! I know exactly how you feel. I love to protest through letter-writing or something more quiet. You've inspired me! 👊🏻♥️👊🏻 3d

dabbe Matt is just getting over a cold, so we're probably taking it easy today. I have lots of buddy reads to catch up with, and I just got him the last Gamache book, so he's already diving into that. I introduced them to him, and I'm only on book 6, and he's on the last one! 🤣

Thanks for the tag, @Alldebooks! 😍 I'm glad it's a lovely day for planting where you are! 🩵💙🩵 3d

Librarybelle Thank you, @dabbe ! ❤️ 3d

DebinHawaii I was out supporting local artists & the economy by spending money on their works. 😉 The winds are bringing VOG over from the Big island this week so limiting my outside time & taking extra preventative meds since I‘ll be there overnight Monday/Tuesday & back again on Friday & it‘s close to the volcano so worse than here. Having a relaxing day to recover from the week & gear up for the next one. 3d

DebinHawaii @Librarybelle So sorry Zeke took a bad turn. Hope you can rest & he feels better soon! 💜 3d

Librarybelle Thank you, @DebinHawaii ! ❤️ 3d

ElizaMarie @Deblovestoread Your day sounded so great! Did you end up going to the #HandsOff Protest? My husband and I flaked on the time. WE thought it started around 1 not ended around 1 :( 2d

ElizaMarie @Cuilin It was!!! I ended up cleaning my mudroom. I am determined that Winter is over (I know it's not quite there yet, but soonish), So I started to clean my mittens, scarves, and hats and put a lot of that stuff away. Still gotta keep some winter-sh stuff out. But my mudroom was a dumping ground - so there was a ton to go through. 2d

ElizaMarie @dabbe We got a lot done - organizing-wise. Not what we had planned. We wanted to go to the protest but flaked on the time. We ended up going to lunch, and then finishing our mudroom cleanout. 2d

ElizaMarie @dabbe Awe - I hope Matt feels better soon. 2d

Cuilin @ElizaMarie There‘s nothing like a little spring clean up. Just don‘t look at the weather forecasted for the next 10 days 🙈 and all will be well. 2d

Deblovestoread @ElizaMarie I did go with two friends and it was amazing. Brought me to tears a couple of times. We were lucky to have a gorgeous day. One of the best things I‘ve ever done. 2d

Deblovestoread @ElizaMarie I LOVE a good clean up day especially putting away winter stuff. 2d

TheBookHippie Out protesting yesterday!!! As one does. @Deblovestoread YAAAAAS!!! As a decades -holy shit FOUR DECADES- protestor … welcome to the resistance. 2d

TheBookHippie @Cuilin the snow forecasted 😵‍💫 2d

TheBookHippie @Cuilin omg!!! Snow Patrol!! 2d

ElizaMarie @Cuilin It make me so mad!!! Also, I need to get my studs off my tires, which I think it would be “safe“ to set up an appointment in a week or two. 2d

ElizaMarie @Deblovestoread I am so happy that you ended up going. I wish we were better at the timing, I saw pics of our town and the neighboring towns and it looks beautiful to see all the support out there. (It was rainy and ugly but there was a good turn out) 2d

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle poor Zeke!!! 2d

TheBookHippie @Cuilin I‘m glad you‘re feeling some better! Yay. 2d

Librarybelle Thanks, @TheBookHippie ! ❤️ 2d

How to Build Bookcases & Bookshelves: 15 Woodworking Projects for Book Lovers | Scott Francis

My Boyfriend just asked me “Why do You need so many books? Can‘t you get rid of some? You have 3 shelves filled of our bookshelf....” 😳🤯🥺 We‘ve been together 5 years and STILL had to ask me this?!?! Most of my books are in storage because we don‘t have enough room for them, and a measly 3 shelves is NOTHING!!! I think my poor partner has lost his mind! 🤪🧐 #booklover #booksaremything #neverenough #handsoff

Riveted_Reader_Melissa 3 shelves 4y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Not nearly enough! 4y

TEArificbooks When we got married my husband said we have a space issue. You can have tbr library or keep library. So I have a whole room for my tbr library. And 14 years in I also have a wall in the bedroom for books to keep, a picture book library in my youngest‘s room, a chapter book library in the oldest‘s room, and 3 book carts by the front door of books ready for new homes, and a mobile little free library in my car trunk 4y

TEArificbooks So tell your boyfriend 3 bookshelves is not enough space for a book lover and he should count his lucky stars 4y

Soubhiville You need to show him pictures of a lot of our shelves. Give him some perspective. 4y

Soubhiville I‘m actually a bit mad at him for you. 4y

LibrarianRyan I agree with @Soubhiville. Josh kids me at time, but he is also a big enabler. I think he secretly loves it. Especially when he gets to act like a DC character to announce the Penguin is here. 🐧 🐧 😁 4y

Patchshank I haven't felt this offended since Marie Kondo said more than 10 books is unnecessary. 4y

Susanita The nerve! 4y

wanderinglynn He thinks 3 shelves is a lot? 😂🤣🤣 Clearly he needs some perspective. Or get rid of him and then you‘ll have even more space for books. 😆 4y

Sleepswithbooks Just pat him on the head and respond, “You‘re pretty.” Then go enjoy a book. Less irritating or stressful that way 😂 4y

vivastory @wanderinglynn Amen! 😂 4y

vivastory I agree with @Patchshank You should look him in the eye & tell him if he's not careful you'll have to KonMari him 4y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego 😯🤦‍♀️ men, lol. 4y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego @Patchshank 🤣 4y

Branwen Ugh! 3 shelves?! Unacceptable! 🤣😂 Tell him if you get rid of him you'll have more room for books! 🙄 4y

wanderinglynn @Sleepswithbooks 😆🤣🤣🤣 4y

TheSpineView This is just another example of clueless men!😂 4y

Birdsong28 He should know better by now as you have been with him for 5 years! Did he expect you to turn around and say yes you are right I do have too many books! Tell him that you will get rid of the books when he gets rid of something he loves. 🙄📚📖 4y

maich 😂😂😂 Mine sometimes ask me the same. 4y

sgoffe I just moved my book collection into my boyfriend's house last week. He built me a nice big bookcase which fits my current collection but with no room to grow so now we're looking for other areas in this rather tiny house to squeeze in more shelving. We have a deal - I don't object to his tool buying if he doesn't object to my books & knitting supplies. But eventually, I will have to deal with the reality of the limited space in this house. 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick My boyfriend might have the audacity to make snide comments about building furniture with all of my books, but at least he hasn't suggested that I have too many. I'm sorry. How attached to the man are you? 🤣 4y
