Welcome to Litsy!

The first book I finished in January was The Christmas Holiday. I listened an audiobook. The story itself didn't really grab me. It could have been more fleshed out. Both characters are suffering from loss and want to get away from the Christmas holidays. In the end, life offers them a second chance and I think they deserve it.

I've been trying for a long time to disconnect the idea that reading anything is a #GuiltyPleasure (as long as it doesn't harm another person, have at it), so I'm reading smut without any shame. Miley, on the other hand 😬😬. I'm still somewhat embarrassed to admit that I started enjoying her music with Wrecking Ball. Ah well, life's too short to stay embarrassed for too long. Love me some Miley!

I've not been on Litsy much lately... Now that the Read Harder Challenge has been released, I've been happily plotting and planning for next year. I'm planning to do #AuthorAMonth, #Booked23, #Pop23, #RH23, #52Book, #NoShame, #AuldLangSpine, and #roll100 so far, and I'll also try to do my local library yearly reading challenge 😅 Or at least, I'll spreadsheet the f* out of them 😂 Any of the rest of you getting ambitious?

1. Yes! Going to my in-laws for Thanksgiving day/meal. Hoping to read before we go (and probably while we‘re there. Let‘s be honest - when football is on, my tagged book will be out 😆) and after we get home. Then driving to see my family in Iowa on Friday for the weekend 🙌🏻

2. Green bean casserole & stuffing & mashed potatoes with gravy. Bring on the carbs!! 😂 #noshame

@TheSpineView #Two4Tuesday - This was a fun one!!

10 more 📚

Book Outlet sale … 9 books! Amazon … 1 book.

The HC of RoW was $8! The map on the reversible dust jacket was worth the $!

I like Cussler‘s Oregon Files! There wasn‘t a picture on the website but it was $3. I took it out of the box to find that it‘s SIGNED by Cussler!

25 books/audiobooks purchased in July! (1 hasn‘t been delivered yet)

OK I‘ll stop gushing … I obviously have a book problem …. Oh well … at least I‘m enjoying it! 🙌

18/20 books read for #BookSpinBingo in January. 7/12 Bingos.

I attribute this mostly to make good picks that interested me and adding all of my book club cooks to the board. (This month was 6!) Having 5 free spaces helped as well. #NoShame @TheAromaofBooks

In the words of @Gnora from whom I stacked this, “This is trash and I‘m a raccoon.” It‘s so bad, it‘s good. 🤷‍♀️

I listened to the audiobook which is somehow 25 HOURS LONG?? But I listened on 1.5 speed and got a ton of stuff done around the house. The narrator was alright. When he narrated Bella‘s parts, she sounded really flat but I know a lot of folks feel that way about the character anyway!

Ridiculous, melodramatic, fun. #noshame

I can‘t begin to say how amazing this book is! It is so positive, so uplifting! SYA is a great org. We have to have these conversations! #abortionishealthcare #noregrets #noshame #shoutyourabortion
@Come-read-with-me you will love this book!
