I‘ve missed sharing a #5JoysFriday the last few weeks because…well…life has been chaotic and not the greatest. But, I want to take a moment this morning to reflect on the good this past week:
1. My boys…always. They‘re my kids. I‘d do anything for them.
2. Fabulous mystery book event this past Saturday. So much fun to be around books!
3. Receiving my #SundayBuddyRead supplemental book from @TheBookHippie …yay book mail!
4. Aardvark Book Club ⬇️
pickMy prompt for #TBRtarot ended up being to read a book that‘s been on your Kindle for a while - I believe I grabbed this intending to join a #sundaybuddyread but that didn‘t happen 😂 Anyway, I almost stopped reading after a chapter or two, it just wasn‘t grabbing me, and then it did. Pretty fantastic and important read. @TheBookHippie
pickI enjoyed this story about famed interior designer‘s renovation of the iconic Greenbrier Hotel. A strong, confident, talented woman, Draper made some difficult decisions as she pursued her career at a time when it was not socially acceptable for upper class women to work. The hotel itself felt like one of the characters in the book, and it sounds like a beautiful place. I‘d love to visit in person!

Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView @Kshakal
1. I bought was Summer at Tiffany for the #sundaybuddyread
2. I do like to do reviews occasionally, especially when a book hits me. I do them at NetGalley to get ARC :) and also will do them on GR, add them to Amazon for NetGalley books, mention best loved books on Instagram. I love spreading book joy as much as possible. 📚
I was about to post this before I got the phone call about Zeke‘s biopsy results. I‘m so excited to read this, @TheBookHippie ! Thank you!! #SundayBuddyRead
#TwoforTuesday 1. I just prefer to be reading - sitting, lying down, leaning, walking - there‘s a book for it 2. I just started In Five Years in print, I‘m reading Summer at Tiffany on my kindle for #sundaybuddyread , I just started listening to Kasher in the Rye on audio and I‘m slogging on with The Mill on the Floss on the serial app with #hashtagbrigade ( I‘m following along with #littensloveacotar ‘s reading of ACOFAS which I inhaled )
