My hold cam in. Starting my Patricia Highsmith #AuthorAMonth today.
@Soubhiville

I will definitely finish my Simone St. James #SundayBuddyRead. And I am hoping to finish Crossroads - Jonathan Franzen....good, but a big big, slow read. And....maybe start my Highsmith #AuthoraMonth book if my hold comes through. And, lastly, read some of my ebook, The Maid - Nita Prose.

#MarvelousMay @Andrew65

Volunteering today at the hospital giftshop and starting my #Bookspin book. So far it is a SLOW day so I should get lots of reading done.

To all the Litsy Moms….wishing you a very Happy Mother‘s Day! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

I only do #Bookspin. My May book.

@TheAromaofBooks

Thanks x a million to the most wonderful @TheBookHippie as this is the most perfect box. I had wanted this book and tarot deck so badly....and here it is! The mug....HA...perfect. The tea looks delicious. I just love it all and am so grateful for your generosity. Have a blessed Beltane. 😘

Annie returns home after college, waits tables and works p/t at her grandfather‘s private investigation firm. When a co-worker at the cafe is murdered, Annie helps to find the killer. Well-written book that gives the reader a good feel for this small town In Texas and the people who live there. Good book.
@JoyBlue

1. Tagged book….good so far.
2. I probably read more in the winter due to weather.
3. Allergies. Damn allergies. 🤣

#thoughtfulthursday @MoonWitch94

A story about a Bernie Madoff type character and the affect he has on the lives of Vincent and her brother Paul….both just trying to “get by” and live their lives. Excellent book. So much to think about.

An odd book. The story of a famous writer and his relationship to his sons. Wildly dysfunctional…all of them. And not one of them very likeable. I didn‘t like it and I didn‘t hate it. #Bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

For #AwesomeApril I finished The Absolutist (wonderful), The Essex Serpent (good), read my sections of The Enchanted April and am almost done with my Bookspin book & Sons.
I read way more than I thought I would. 🙌🏻

@Andrew65

Wishing all who celebrate….a very Happy Easter! 🌼🌸🌺

@KateReadsYA is doing a Giveaway! Check out her post and enter. Thank you so much Kate!

@alexus_sb Wow! Thank you so very much for the books (my first Sanderson books!) and goodies (stationary, candle, tumbler for drinks, cute pins, beautiful bookmarka…and chocolate. I love everything. Thank you for your generosity. And thank you @Avanders for a great swap (as always).
🙌🏻❤️🎉

#SSS # SpringSpeculativeSwap

My #BeltaneBox is on it‘s way. Del‘y date says 4/18.
@sprainedbrain @Chrissyreadit

Visited friends last night and she showed me this book, a signed first edition, of her fathers. Amazing.

Ha! My grandson reads at college level. 😳

(Dad‘s book)

I wasn‘t too thrilled with this book until almost halfway when it took a turn. Turns out it was a very good story about a young man during WWI who makes a decision he has to live with for the rest of his life.

#AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

Sometimes I just love going to Costco.

I am hoping to finish the two pictured books. It‘s the lead up to Passover so I will be cooking and cleaning. If I am lucky I will finish these and get to start The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel. 🤞🏻

#AwesomeApril #Readathon @Andrew65

And….it‘s here! Thank you @alexus_sb 🎉

#SSP #SpeculativeSpringSwap @Avanders

And I completed my goal of finishing Ask Again, Yes. Wonderful drama about two families. And I started The Essex Serpent.
Thank you @Andrew65 for another fun #20in4 #readathon.

#Bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

I have been busy with birthdays and guests and hven‘t read much. I am hoping I can finally just read this weekend!

My goal is really just to finish the tagged book.

#20in4 @Andrew65

Ha!

#tarottakeover Oh, this isn‘t a happy card. Heartbreak and betrayal. I‘ve been reading my tarot books. Sorrow.

This book was all about sorrow and heartbreak.
@ErinSueMreads

@Pigpen_Reads Hooray! Thank you so so much-I finally got tarot cards and I am so excited! I love the books (ha, I am happy I didn‘t buy The Lost Apothecary at Costco 😂). The candle is perfect, chocolate ❤️, the cute book journal I will use for my tarot learning and the beautiful bookmarks. Thank you for such a great swap. I am thrilled. 😘

@sprainedbrain @Chrissyreadit (thank you both)
#SES #SpringEquinoxSwap

Happy Ostara & blessed be.

#Tarottakeover

I chose this book as it‘s about tradition, ceremony and beliefs, practice…of the indigenous people and the quest to preserve their way of life.

@ErinSueMreads

#tarottakeover Five of Wands…representing struggle and strife, especially internal conflicts.

Inti struggles with her past, the community she lives in and with the man she loves.

@ErinSueMreads

My reading buddy, Tico. My daughter‘s new cat. Babysitting. *heaven 🥰

The Two of Cups- our past and how we got into our current situation. I just finished the tagged book - a family saga (takes place over approx 100 years) and the story if the Joshi family…much if it having to do with their love choices and how that shaped the future of the family members.

#tarottakeover @ErinSueMreads

#tarottakeover @ErinSueMreads

If the card represents the fear and anxiety of the world now, this book was my choice….the fear and anxiety of war in a different time.

I did it! I finished my #ChunksterChallenge. All 934 pages.

The story, over 100 years, of the Jashi family of Georgia/Russia. A wonderful family saga filled with the history of the region. Thank you @Mitch for gifting this to me. @slategreyskies I will be mailing this to you soon!

@Amiable

And it‘s here! Thank you so much @Pigpen_Reads ❤️

@sprainedbrain @Chrissyreadit #SES #SummerEquinoxSwap

@TheBookHippie

I had gotten an old copy from Thrift Books and it came with a bookmark. 😂

While there were some odd, not really believable plot lines, I still enjoyed this thriller.
#Bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

The story of a family living and working in a logging town, 1977-8, in the Pacific Northwest. Beautiful story.

Thanks @sharread for this book. I thought of you every time I picked it up read.

My #SpringEquinoxSwap #SES and #SSS #SpringSpeculativeSwap are both in the mail!

@Chrissyreadit @sprainedbrain @Avanders

I just saw this on twitter and had to share. A book bench…in Ukraine. ❤️

I so enjoyed this. I don‘t want to say too much as #SundayBuddyRead is still reading it. I had to finish as it needed to be returned to the library. But if you are reading it- enjoy. It‘s a wonderful story.
@TheBookHippie

That was an easy BOTM pick. How nice to have 7 choices.

@KatieDid927 This MADE my day. I love love love everything. I so wanted the 1619 Project-thank you! The other books, too. The great mug, postcards (I write to so many in Litsy Love), the magnets, chocolate….and the Obaamas -❤️❤️❤️. What a fabulous swap. I am so grateful. Thank you so very much.
And thank you @Chelleo for organizing every Feb.

#RememberSharon

I am early, but remembering Sharon today with the dish she sent me in a Halloween swap. I wrote her a few times and she was just lovely. May she rest in peace.

#LitsyLove @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @sharread

So I don‘t forget to post. #Bookspin March

@TheAromaofBooks

Sharon gave this book to me in a Halloween swap. So it‘s only fitting that I read it today in her memory. #sharreadathon

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Professional_Book_Dragon

It‘s here! Thank you @KatieDid927 🎉🎉🎉
