I cried at the last two books I have read, so why did I start “Life‘s Too Short” by Abby Jimenez? Sure, I love Abby‘s books, but this one is gonna kill me - unless there‘s a great twist!! Is there? Don‘t tell me…gotta go finish. #SERIESLOVE24 @TheSpineView
So, I started a new series! Melody Carlson is one of my favorite authors. This series is about 4 roommates who live in a big house on Bloomberg Place. It‘s funny and touching. I love it. #SERIESLOVE2024
I did it!! I read all 25 books on my #BookSpinBingo board. It looks like I didn‘t add 2 of the books I read to my Bookmory app, but I really did read them!! Woohoo! Phew! What a month!
Thank you, thank you Heather @Pageturner1 !!! This gift was so thoughtful especially because it was totally unexpected! How I needed it! How did you know? My birthday was totally wiped out while our whole family suffered with a neurovirus one-by-one. I was first. I‘m pretty sure we are at the end of it now. Anyway, your gift was so wonderful. I can‘t wait to read it. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 💕🥳🎶📚
Here‘s my #ReadYourKindle list for March. I read two books from my Kindle in February! Yay! Thanks for doing this @CBee 🥳
I finished it!!! And the whole series! Now I feel like I should go back and read them again to see all the ways the stories fit together. I really loved this series. The books are big, but they are page-turners. Great! Great! Loved it! #BookSpin #SeriesLove2024 #FabulousFebruary I also read Wish You Were Here by Jodi Picoult during this Readathon and I expected a twist from Picoult, but not that one so yay!
Okay - here‘s my March list. I‘m looking for a cozy mystery: either St. Patrick‘s Day or Birthday themed. I have a big birthday coming up in March. I also plan to participate a bit in #Galaxyathon this year and I putting that TBR together. Somewhere in there, I also hope to read some Middle Grade books! It should be fun!
I am finally cracking the final book in the Seven Sisters series. This is what I will read during #FabulousFebruary and #20in4. I can‘t wait!! @Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks
I finished the first book from my #ReadYourKindle list! I loved it! Anne feels like a friend because I belong to the Modern Mrs. Darcy book club. There were so many things I could relate to. One chapter talked about the book that made her a reader. Hers was Emily of New Moon, mine was The Little Princess. My sister (10 years my senior) bought it for me and I remember it being the first book I couldn‘t put down - even for dinner. #ReadYourKindle
Here we go! #ReadYourKindle list for February! Thank you @CBee for organizing this otherwise I may never get to these!! I know I have 21, but I will work it in somehow. 🥳💕📚🎶
I finally finished The Missing Sister in The Seven Sisters series by Lucinda Riley!! These books are all sooo good. I appreciated this particular one because my ancestors are from Ireland and lived through the times documented. I loved having all the sisters involved in this one. I can‘t wait to read the final book!! #BookSpin #BFC #SeriesLove24 #Buzzword2024 #JumpStart24 #ReadAway24 #BookChain
Just finished listening to Circe by Madeline Miller. I really love books based on mythological characters and there were plenty in this books besides Circe. The narration was also very pleasing to hear. I picked this book up at our library book sale the year before last - it was in beautiful condition, but I just hadn‘t got around to reading it, so it‘s my first #ReadorDonate of the year! #BookSpin #BFC24 #JumpStart24 #ReadAway24 #Buzzword24
I painted my first portrait - it‘s my sister. My daughter guided me through the process. At first I thought it was going to be a monstrosity, but it turned out okay. #LitsyCrafters #BucketList
Here are my #ornaments for the #ChristmasOrnamentHunt We have limited ornaments on our tree this year because we now have 3 cats including one kitten! 🎄💕🐈🎶
I love, love, love this movie!! #USS #TeamMovie I rented it, so I can watch it again if I want!!! 💕💕💕💕🎄🏡🏠

So, I went through all my #BookSpin lists from January to October and picked out the books that have been on those lists at least 4 times and came up with this list! My daughter suggested it and I think it‘s brilliant. I added in some others to finish off some series I‘m reading and the A to Z challenge I‘ve been doing. Wish I could read them all. I love #BookSpin !
Here‘s my total so far: 14,705. @PuddleJumper @Clwojick Team #MischiefandMayhem @Allylu
Stumbled upon episodes of The Muppet Show on Disney+ Halloween episodes last night. This one, featuring Vincent Price, was hilarious (any my 30 something year old daughter didn't know who he was!!) Anyway, we were really enjoying the crazy jokes and everything else. This was right after we watched several episodes of The Addams Family - including one where little Wednesday (in black & white) did the Wednesday dance! Such a fun night! @PuddleJumper
I made this cute little guy at our library. Isn‘t he cute? All the materials were from the Dollar Store apparently. It didn‘t cost me anything except time and I had fun making him. @PuddleJumper @Catsandbooks #Scarathlon #BucketList
I‘m trying to complete the Seven Sisters series by the end of the year - it could go into January, I don‘t know. I‘m reading The Moon Sister right now, then I have The Sun Sister, The Missing Sister and lastly PA Salt. These books are so good. @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
#mischiefandmayhem - Here's my answers:
1. A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (actually the whole series) by Holly Jackson
2. The chill in the air and the beautiful colors of the leaves.
3. Mysteries - cozy and not-so-cozy
4. Reading lots of Halloween/spooky books with my team and all the games
5. A parade, children in their costumes, barbecued ham sandwiches and pumpkin-carving at Grandma's with all of our family.
Happy #Scarathlon
Here‘s my #BookSpin list for October and my TBR list for #Scarathlon2023 !! #EarlyBirdPoints @PuddleJumper

Here‘s my September List! I‘m working on some series and some Modern Mrs. Darcy picks so I can be ready for #Scarathlon2023!!! I did something different with my #BookSpin grid in August. I tried to read a checkerboard! I will post it in early September. It was fun! 💕📚🥳
I really enjoyed this book. I read it in a day. The banter was great and the way the two MC treated each other was so empathetic. Very refreshing that the hero didn‘t have to be strong and virile all the time to get a reader to root for him. I want to read more!!! #BookSpin #12 #BFC23 #MMDSpringBookPreview #Rushathon #ReadySetRead #BookChain #SociallyDistancedBookClubAtoZ #ReadtheStates #BBRC Once Bitten, Twice Shy
Okay. First off, I gave this 5 stars. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Lauren Graham who was perfect for this book. I loved it, but I have to warn you, if you are considering this book and you are BFFs with your daughter or your mother, make sure you have a supply of tissues handy. It was a good story and there was a twist that maybe I should have seen coming, but I didn‘t. Anyway, Lauren Graham was great! #BookSpinBingo #BFC #BookChain
I‘ve been waiting to read this and now I have! I love RomComs, so reading this was so much fun. Such an unlikely pair, but so right for each other. It was a dream I gave 4.5 stars. #BFC23 #BookSpin 24 #20in4 #ReadySetRead
It's almost August and I'm working on my List. Does anyone have suggestions for books with “August“ in the title? Thanks!
Okay! My husband just finished The Wager by David Grann and says he wants to read more “adventure” books. Suggestions?
My July has been going fairly well readingwise. This week I will be reading The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty. I‘m listening to the audio while reading the physical book from the library. I‘m only on Chapter 2, but it‘s very entertaining so far. I‘m also reading The Summer of Broken Rules by K. L. Walther and Heartstopper #4 whenever my daughter finishes it. Soon I will be working on my August list! Yikes! #JubilantJuly
It‘s July 4th and I‘m happy to say I DID finish The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson and The Murder of Mr. Wickham by Claudia Gray getting my July started well! Still reading Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld and I have started No Two Persons by Erica Bauermeister and I also have The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O‘Farrell on deck! I ❤️ reading!!!
Yes! I‘m planning on finishing “The Murder of Mr. Wickham” on audio, and physical books “Romantic Comedy” and “The Box in the Woods”. Here I go!
Started listening to The Pearl Sister by Lucinda Riley this morning. Two hours later…I really should do something else, but I love these stories and the narrators are always wonderful. Working my way through to Pa Salt. I hope to get there before the end of the year. #SeriesLove2023
@BarkingMadRead This is my cover - not exciting, but quaint. Can‘t wait to get started today! #Pemberlittens #HashtagBrigade
Here‘s my tentative June list! So much Summer Reading fun!! 🎉😎🍉💕📚
