#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

My #HyggeHour tonight is spending time solving mysteries with Encyclopedia Brown for #EBBR & then reading more of The Small & the Mighty for #SheSaid. I‘m drinking this fun iced tea (white tea, honey, white grape & lavender) because it‘s so humid & snacking on this pineapple custard pastry.

Mood is quiet & sad that it‘s Monday tomorrow & another crazy work week with an overnight to Hilo.

Finally got my August TBR picture ready!

The Wainwright prize shortlist has been announced. The longlist had so many incredible books, I do not know how the judges managed to whittle it down to a shortlist.
Have you read any? A few might appear in the 2026 #NaturaLitsy #buddyread list.

Spending my #HyggeHour with Nancy Drew for #NancyDrewBR & ice water & an apple-cinnamon turnover.🍎

Mood is tired, the weekend went by quickly & I‘m behind on so much. I‘m not ready for Monday & another busy week with 2 Hilo trips for meetings. 😵‍💫

Here‘s how I did on my July #readyourkindle list. I read the 3 short stories for #noplacelikeholmes and read the short story I needed to read for #christiescapers. I read 1 book for the #naturalitsy buddy read. My goal was to read 3 ARCs. I was sent 6 digital ARCs but I read 2 of them.

Here‘s how I did on my #bookspinbingo picks for July. I only read the book I needed to read for the #christiescapers buddy read but I didn‘t have time to read the #naturalitsy buddy read book that was picked for July.
