I‘m a little late with my Readathon wrap up. My goals were:

🕣 Read for 8 hours (1 hour per day) ❌ I only read for 5 hours and 34 minutes. It was a really busy week with work and family.
📚 Finish Suspicious Origin ✅
📚 Begin another book from my #bookspinbingo card. ✅

I really need work to slow down so I can get back my reading time…but I suppose the money for all of those extra hours is always nice! 🤷‍♀️ #brightside

One to Watch: A Novel | Kate Stayman-London

pick

I haven't actually watched The Bachelor but this one sounded like a bit of fun. A plus sized lady challenging the lack of diversity in the casting of these shows ends up becoming the "main squeeze" herself ? Quirky and light, I enjoyed it. ???

CarolynM Hi Cathy👋 How are you going in lockdown? Hope today's figures mean we're heading in the right direction. 5y

Cathy_J Hi @CarolynM , I'm doing alright. I've been getting more reading done having to stay home all the time! Trying to stay positive. I am checking the figures daily, surely the second lockdown will start to drive them down soon. Strange times we're living in though. Hope you're doing okay too. xx 5y

CarolynM I'm finding this one harder than the first, but I don't really have cause for complaint🙂 5y

Cathy_J @CarolynM Same here on both counts. I am really enjoying being on Litsy and it's lovely to chat to you 🙂 I am looking forward to reading the new one from David Mitchell soon. I also won a Dymocks competition 😱😱 and am expecting my prize books in the post any day now 😊 #brightside 😋 5y

CarolynM Ooh! How exciting! Do you know what he prize is, or will it be a surprise? 5y

Cathy_J @CarolynM It will be The Wife and the Widow, The Nowhere Child, The Bee and the Orange Tree, The Birdman‘s Wife and The Millionaire Castaway 😊 Just when my TBR pile was getting smaller 🤣 No complaints whatsoever though. I am rapt 😊 5y

CarolynM Sounds like a great prize. Enjoy! 5y

The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry: A Novel | Gabrielle Zevin

We moved to assignment #5 over the summer, and I still wouldn‘t live life any other way. I‘m thankful for my wonderful husband on #veteransday. He may cause me to move every two years, but hey— I have LOTS of library cards that I can use with Overdrive/Libby!! #brightside #milspouseperks Now to catch up on my @LitsyBuddyRead book!

Brightside & To Kill a Mockingbird are my favorite books so I just had to make mini book charms of them! I‘ll probably clip them on the coil of my reading notebook or on a pencil pouch. #readingplanner #tokillamockingbird #brightside #harperlee #kimholden #miniaturebook #claybook #minibook #bookcharm

megnificent1 OMG so cute! 😍 7y

#HumpDayPost @MinDea 1. My old home before I moved to the desert where you have no clue it's the fall or Halloween 2. After I finish Young Jane Young it'll be the tagged book 3. Milk 🍫❣️4. Penicillin & all sulfa medications 5. 🍌

Cathythoughts Lovely old home. The desert sounds amazing too. 👍. I‘m also allergic to penicillin ( it‘s a drag). ❤️ 7y

Cinfhen I don't miss the cold weather but I do miss my home😩#SoManyMemories 7y

TrishB It's a beautiful home 💓 I think I would probably miss the cold if I lived in the desert! 7y

Cinfhen Thanks guys! I am joining #BOTMbuddyRead @MinDea you should too @shawnmooney 😘😘😘it's been three years since we moved and I still mourn for my house @TrishB @LauraBeth @CoffeeCatsBooks I know home is where the heart is but....I'm sentimental to the place where my babies took their first steps!!!! #LifeIsAJourney 💚 7y

LauraBeth My stupid sentimentality over my house is preventing us from moving! I need to get past it 😀 7y

Cinfhen @laurabeth don't let anyone "force"you into a change you aren't ready for....this move for me has been VERY difficult & while I've adapted I'm still not over the attachments...hope you're doing well? 7y

Suet624 What a beautiful house and yard. 7y

Cinfhen Thanks so much @Suet624 💜 7y

Lacythebookworm How is Young Jane Young? It‘s on my TBR and I‘m wondering if I need to move it up?! 7y

Cinfhen I‘m loving it @Lacythebookworm lots of laughs!!!! 7y

emilyhaldi I'm so sentimental about everything I can certainly understand your sadness! 7y

Cinfhen Thanks @emilyhaldi 😘when is your big move??? 7y

Bklover What a beautiful home! Must have been so hard to leave it! 7y

Cinfhen Thanks @Bklover 💘💝 7y

AceOnRoam Oh it's gorgeous. Is your desert house just as nice? I was planning to move to Abu Dhabi a few years ago, some of the houses for rent were simply stunning. 7y

Cinfhen Thanks @AceOnRoam no...we have downsized quite a bit...I now live in a duplex apt which is 1/2 the size of my old home 😕 #newbeginnings 7y

AceOnRoam Oh, well less lawn mowing and sweeping up pesky leaves @Cinfhen #brightside 7y

Cinfhen Truth! @AceOnRoam 😆😘 7y

AceOnRoam 😙😙 7y

mrp27 So pretty! Moving is always hard and it brings up so many emotions. I'm still not over my move from east coast to west coast. 7y

Mdargusch I can‘t wait to see how you like that book! It‘s one of my favorites this year! 7y

ValerieAndBooks I can tell that house is East Coast style 💖. So you sold it instead of renting it out? 7y

Cinfhen We rented the first year but crappy tenets and living so far away made for a bad situation @ValerieAndBooks so we sold it 😔 7y

Cinfhen I'm so excited for Invisible Furies @Mdargusch #HIGHEXPECTATIONS 7y

Cinfhen Thanks @mrp27 moving is very emotional, I hope you feel settled! Did you have family or friends in the area?!? 7y

mrp27 I lived in California all my life, all my family is here. When I married I moved to NYC. I loved it, made it my home had lots of friends, a whole new family through marriage and then got a divorce I didn't want and moved back to Cali and my family. 😕 7y

Cinfhen That's really tough for a variety of reasons! At least you have family support around you...we just need to find you a new guy from NY 😘😉 @mrp27 7y

mrp27 Ha!! Too funny! It's definitely been rough times these last few years and the best balm for hard times is family and of course friends on Litsy! 😘 7y

Bummer news...this longtime bookstore in Berkeley, CA has announced its impending closure. I started going there in 1995 and bought my first Clive Barker book, Imajica. Since then, so many more. I go as often as I can since I moved out of the Bay Area. If you're around and can get in there, it's amazing. The whole store is 20% off and it's packed to the rafters.

Karen3 Where is this? I live in the Sacramento area so it would just be a short road trip. Always looking for fun bookstores. 7y

ApoptyGina69 @Karen3 3086 Claremont Ave. take 80 west to Oakland and take 580/24 to Claremont exit. About a mile up and it's on the right. 7y

Karen3 Sweet!!! Thank you! 7y

GypsyKat It's always sad to see a bookstore close. 😔 7y

BooksForEmpathy Omg! Possibly an excursion for tomorrow!! Thank you. Also, this is always a sad closing to hear about. 7y

Blueberry @NataliePatalie 7y

ReadingEnvy Dang! When the sci fi fantasy bookstore in SF was going to have to close the customers saved it... But I guess that means there is another one not too far away. I hate seeing bookstores go. 7y

OrangeMooseReads I hate seeing Indie bookstores close. Stupid B&N and Amazon. 😢 7y

ApoptyGina69 @ReadingEnvy I know! We go to Borderlands as often as we can also. My bf and a couple other friends pitched in to help. What a relief that it's safe for now. 7y

HardcoverHearts I just stopped by after work and man is it sad. It's going to take him a million years to sell off that stock. 😩We bought way more than we should just because I felt so bad for him. It clearly got out of control. 😢 7y

ApoptyGina69 @HardcoverHearts yeah, I've spent $75 x twice and we're planning to stop in on Wednesday. Well, the longer it takes, the more we can shop. #brightside 7y

HardcoverHearts Very true! 7y

I was prescribed to take a bath every day for an issue I've been fighting for weeks. Well, I just gained 15 extra minutes of reading time! #BrightSide

aeeklund I had to do something similar and used the time in the same way! 8y

BookishMarginalia Hope you feel better soon! 8y

Ruri_kaichou @aeeklund yes! What better way to spend extra free time? 😉 8y

Mc_cart_ny I'm glad you're feeling better! Also, that is the prescription I've heard!! 8y
