pickAs a pandemic works it‘s way around the globe, we experience connections with characters, objects and stories. Could not put down... so many story and time lines that I couldn‘t wait to see how they resolved and connected. HBO is filming a series of this in Chicago now- interested to see if it will live up.
so-soA genre I don‘t typically read, but wanted another Whitehead book after The Underground Railroad. Stories of Last Night and survival bounced me around a bit, and I seemed to lose focus.
pickSuch a powerful read. Elements of fantasy woven with moving plot as Cora escapes from Georgia and moves along the Underground Railroad.
Note to others- tidying is addictive and Kondo‘s books should not be read during a readathon #24b42020 because you will get sucked in! Didn‘t read as long as I wanted to today because I tidied recipes and donated clothes!
Hoping to finish a few, start a few, and enjoy a reread of Pillars. Met my goals already for 2019- #MMDchallenge #LitsyAtoZ and 50 books for the year so I don‘t feel under pressure. Thanks again for hosting this longer event- even my hubby is going to participate this year! #24b42020
An advent tradition in our house is to read this series of 25 tiny holiday books, tales, and poems. The description to this book is not accurate! As we Marie Kondo‘d our Christmas decorations this year- my 16 and 13 yr old kids would not let this book go as they shared the joy it has brought them over the years!
Great video our library posted about Black Friday!!

I got this! Just two letters remain on #LitsyAtoZ2019. #24B4Monday is going to help me crush these last two books!
Just started this book as my last #LitsyAtoZ book this year. #letterz #igotthis
pickGreat book- really enjoyed the audio version. Characters that you truly wanted to embrace.
This book reminds me of this movie. So far getting into the alternate timelines, but it was a little tricky to start...
This book captured me from the beginning! But all along I kept thinking- now I get Paul Rudd and his anti-aging magic!
So excited to get back in the game and dedicate time this weekend! Trying to finish #litsyatoz #letterk #letterp. Goal for 13 hours!!!
pickReally enjoyed how this book unfolded slowly throughout letters to one another. Tina Hopgood, a farmer‘s wife exchanges letters with Danish museum curator, Anders Larsen. From the mundane and daily experience to the depth of existence, they cover and share so much together.
pickLove love love! This audiobook was an addicting listen! I never wanted it to stop... Evelyn was such a unique and complex creature that I just couldn‘t get enough of. Twists and turns a plenty. How does one follow this up?
Just discovered this author for British rom com! Yay And I got #letteru out of it! #litsyatoz Five more to go!
Another year of our neighborhood lantern festival- a night to get out and not read!
pickOne of my favorites this year! Such a fun read! Witty banter throughout!
Love all the Littens uniting as wizards! Let‘s do this! All for one, and one for.... (oh wait- wrong book)! Feel free to add me as a friend if you‘d like! #wizardsunite
Brought Rebecca along with me to my favorite Santa Fe Spa Resort. So rejuvenating!
Love love the connection with one of my favorite artists!! The funny thing is- he was very particular about his art and how it was displayed, so he is not well known due to that fact.
Calling it an early night- met my goal for 12 hours and finished Radium Girls. Really got into Book of Life and did some audio cleaning to Rebecca. Thanks all! #24B4Monday #letterR
pickSuch a well researched and emotional read. These girls never knew the work they were doing was so dangerous. They showed such tenacity and grit in taking on their employers for fair compensation and to protect future workers. They are truly an inspiration!
Hoping to finish the audiobook of Radium Girls and sink my teeth into the other two. Trying for a goal of 12 hours! #24B4Monday
Yay April #24b4Monday!! Just started Looking for Alaska and the other two were picked from my #popjargame. Also trying to knock out two #LitsyAtoZ books. Have fun all!
Love our library- they are so witty!!! Who wouldn‘t want this book :) 🐧 👨🚀

My best time yet... Started Quiet for #LitsyAtoZ and jumped into Jane Eyre on audiobook. Loved Shadow of Night and the setting change from the first book. #24b4monday. Thanks again all for the likes and encouraging words!
A decent day one, especially being a little distracted with some great basketball games tonight. 🏀 or 📚 #24b4Monday
View from our camp site in the Utah Bears Ears National Monument area- so happy to find this location and not be near Moab during spring break!
Another snow day for our school district- I won‘t complain!
Bombogenesis cancelled school tomorrow! So excited for my free reading day! No snow dance needed!
pickWow and wow- such a fantastic book. Had its ups downs with lovely quirky moments and times when I just wanted to scream. What a journey of life and how we cope live survive and heal. My favorite read this year! #litsyAtoZ #letterE
Look who just joined the 2020 race for President!
What a snowy Sunday looks like in our house. A house with two #litsyteachers. I should be under the gray blanket but I‘m cooking chicken parmigiana! Aww- the hubby got cut off :(
Finished 2 books and starting I Owe You One... bettered my time from last month by 3 hours. Thanks @Andrew65 and @TheReadingMermaid ! #24b4Monday
pickSuch a powerful read- and so accessible to adults and teens. Poignant scenes and such honesty wrapped with some heartwarming, funny episodes. The audiobook version really touched my heart. We all matter!
Whoa! Powered through staying up late to finish Discovery of Witches. So glad I thought ahead to put a hold on book 2. Shouldn‘t have too long of a wait! #24b4Monday
Lovin‘ this book- midway through and my eyes are gettin‘ heavy. 3:28 into #24b4Monday
Still battling a cold so I could use rest and reading. Finishing 2 of these and trying to start 2 others. #24b4Monday @Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid
How many minutes of reading can I do before the NyQuil kicks in? Sniffle ... Sneeze... I‘m so close to the end...
pickA great historical fiction novel following 3 women in WWII. Some storylines were more compelling than others but I really enjoyed listening to each voice through and after the war. Interested in picking up her next book Lost Roses to read as well.
Finished One Plus One and The Wives of Los Alamos. Halfway through Becoming and just started Lilac Girls on audio. A fun time- just a bit distracted today... thanks to @Andrew65 and @TheReadingMermaid for encouraging comments! Excited to try again in February! #24b4Monday
Hanging out in the Broadmoor Hotel library with Michelle. A great day of reading as my daughter was attending a choir conference! On track for my 12 hour goal :) #24b4Monday #litsyAtoZ
No snacks- just yummy Dutch Bros and a wonderful getaway to the Cliff House Hotel in Manitou Springs. #24b4monday #24b4mondaygiveaway @TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65
Slow start to the readathon. Finished my One Plus One audiobook and starting Becoming. Letter O for #LitsyAtoZ #24b4monday
Going for these books on my list. 4 are on my #litsyAtoZ list, 2 audiobooks for the drive to Colorado Springs this weekend. I‘m shooting for 12 hours! #24b4Monday Thanks @TheReadingMermaid and @Andrew65
