Little Bunny on the Move | Peter McCarty

Life update: 2024 has been an incredibly exhausting & life altering year. My dad was hospitalized in January, was able to go back home, & then passed suddenly in early April. My husband was laid off in May. His company laid off about 700 scientists in his office. His entire group was cut (he does preclinical translational oncology research). I was waitlisted & then not offered a spot in the PhD program I applied to. So we are leaving the Boston &

ncsufoxes MA area in a few weeks after just 2 years here. We will be in NC for a few weeks with family & then moving to Fredrick, Maryland. My husband has been offered an amazing once in a lifetime opportunity (I‘ll share more once we‘re settled). So I‘m behind on reviews, reading & everything else. The year is taking a better turn but it has been a very emotional & trying first half of the year. We‘re hopeful for better things. (edited) 3h

Bookwormjillk I hope things start looking up for you, and I‘m sorry for the loss of your father. I‘ve heard good things about Fredrick. 3h

Read4life I‘m sorry to hear about your father, your husband‘s job & the PhD program. I hope things continue to look up for you. I love Frederick. We stop there on our way to visit my daughter at school in PA. 💙💙 2h

Reading Rainbow Readers: Friendship Stories You Can Share | Chronicle Books

My goal this year was to dedicate myself to reading down my unread books and not buy any books for the first half of the year. I didn‘t quite keep from buying books but 39 books off my TBR is really an accomplishment! Plus it‘s made me use the library even mor3 (which is always good). I‘m going to keep going to the end of the year. My new goal is 80 books from my TBR for 2024.

It's time for the second half of #Pantone2024!
This time l've separated it into NY and London fashion week colours - see my other post - and l've again included the New Classics.
You can play bingo, go for a full card, just play for fun - whatever you like. Find a colour somewhere in the cover of whatever you're reading, and tag @lauredhel @BarbaraBB

If I Was the Sunshine | Julie Fogliano

pick

#SummerSouls Day 23: There is an intimacy in Fogliano‘s verses here, with the constant “if you were.. and i was…” accompanied by such powerful imagery by Loren Long. It‘s like every page has a sigh, an exhalation, an unexpected gasp that tilts one‘s world a bit, allowing the reader to glimpse a different world of beauty, longing, and glowing #fireflies. My full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-lU4

The Summerfolk | Doris Burn

#wondrouswednesday

1. The tagged is a children‘s book I read when I was a child.

2. I‘m supposed to go to Guam for work. Since I‘ll be there the whole month of July, it will be a kind of vacation. Other than that, I don‘t take vacation in the summer.

3. Movement - I started the Habit Nest‘s stretching daily journal & I am feeling better

Eggs

Airykah13 I have one of the Habit Nest‘s strength programs. I‘ll have to check out their stretching program 1mo

wanderinglynn @Airykah13 I‘ve done 7 days so far & I like it. I expect to see some good improvements by the end of the program. 1mo

Eggs Enjoy Guam 🇬🇺 👌🏼👏🏻 1mo

wanderinglynn @Eggs thanks! 1mo
