Starting out this year with a new way to track our reading. Repurposed notebook from 2006, y‘all…sometimes it pays to never get rid of stuff. 7/25 so far with nothing but children‘s books so far. I‘m so OCD my tracker has an actual legend 😝
#bookjournal #booktracker
I‘m trying to find new ways to track my reading. I think it‘s hard to share images on Litsy but I‘d love to hear what others are doing to track their tbrs and read books. Please share any and all written/visual work you put into your journals. Thank you! 🙂😍
Peep that sexy guy right there. My favorite author!! Anyone read the tagged book yet? I love when he releases a new book; it doesn‘t happen often.
This one seems interesting...Thoughts??

My son decorated this pumpkin at a library event last week. We revisited the tagged book last night as well. (We read it 3 yrs ago when he was only a month old).
Happy Spooky Season, y'all!!
Y'all know I know my serial killers 😬💋 the book is decent and I'm trying to get into the Netflix show but it's kind of a buzzkill because I know the story already. People are so shocked with the show. Do they not know what mentally/emotionally deranged individuals are capable of? Dahmer's story is definitely one of the more disturbing/fascinating from a mental illness standpoint. Spooky season #truecrime.

P 357. Won't be long before I will (hopefully) be cuddling up under blankets while reading paperbacks. I say hopefully because it's still very warm here. I am sooooo ready for Fall 🍁🍂 and October

⬆️Just one of several Ann Rule true crime books I have going at the moment. This one seems to be building into something interesting.

so-soAnother classic children's book. I guess I'm missing something with these... 3/5 ⭐️ but he likes them good enough
so-soHaven't read many outstanding children's books lately. Most are just meh. Including this one. 3/5 ⭐️
One of several Ann Rule books I've got going at the moment. Can't stop. Won't stop. I mean...until they go back to the library for a bit and then of course I'll be back for them!!

pickVery first Deaver. Thoroughly enjoyed. Time to find the movie!!
I'm still reading The Stranger Beside Me and loving it. However, I started this Ann Rule tonight. I'm all set for some disturbing reading with this True Crime. I can't even imagine where children are concerned but I will literally read anything. I guess it's just my innate curiosity about what makes these monsters act in such heinous ways. Tell me more about Ann Rule...I love her already!! (I know she's passed away 😔)

Interesting choice for summer eh lol. Creepy. Have no idea where it's heading & I like that...

Ayn Rand is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I am currently reading not 1 but 3 of her novels. I couldn't get through Anthem however. She's definitely what I consider an acquired taste. What's your favorite Ayn Rand book? I want to read her nonfiction at some point.
Spooky tales. Perfect for the fall but pretty good right now too 🙂 currently reading the California section. And not to brag or anything but my home state of Alabama has one of the best ghost stories EVER 😬😱 #currentlyreading #nonfiction #supernatural
so-soTook so long to finish but I was constantly mentally comparing and contrasting the book with the movie. It was good but too much sometimes. The whole story is creepy as hell, based on real life monsters. Good writing. I'm interested in more Thomas Harris but not anytime soon.
Been MIA for a while but I have not actually finished a book in ages!! 😬😬 this one is getting better. About 110 pages left tho...
Good Saturday morning...or is it? My book is so done with life it's decided to split in half. I had been mending it for weeks. It's just sad to look at but I'm going to finish reading it! It's a riveting book!

Unlike her Lady Lazarus, she wouldn't find it 'easy enough to do it and stay put'. Sylvia Plath wouldn't survive the suicide, but 'Sylvia Plath' would.

For nearly two years, almost every Thursday morning, rain or shine, they came to my house, and almost every time, I could not get over the shock of seeing them shed their mandatory veils and robes and burst into color. When my students came into that room, they took off more than their scarves and robes. Gradually, each one gained an outline and a shape, becoming her own inimitable self. Our world in that living room with its window framing...

Carnival tents were sprouting in the Square like overnight toadstools. There was the snake charmer, the bearded lady, the wild man from Borneo, who gnawed on white clubs of ox bone, his ankle shackled to an iron stake driven deep into the earth beneath his tent. One might have witnessed any of these marvels for a dime. But the three brothers who followed the wagon across the Square, marching along the dark, dewcut streaks of its passage like...
What use was algebra? Whatever you did to one side of the equation had to be done to the other, achieving the solution required symmetrical manipulation of the numbers on either side of the equal sign. That concept was irrelevant outside the world of mathematics. In real life, the word equality was just something that sounded good on parchment.

⭐️ Do you guys know how very special it is when you receive a book directly from the author? With personalized note? (Of course you do, this is Litsy!!) I'm so happy to have it, starting to read just now!! ⭐️
Happy Hallow's Eve 🎃

How many generations of women had delayed their greatness only to have time extinguish it completely? How many women had run out of time while the men didn't know what to do with theirs?

You didn't walk in here for books. You didn't have to say my name. You didn't have to smile or listen or take me in. But you did. Your signature is on the receipt. This wasn't a cash transaction and it wasn't a coded debit. This was real. I press my thumb into the wet ink on your receipt and the ink of Guinevere Beck stains my skin.

‼️ OLD LADY ALERT ‼️
I am so happy to have found all these episodes of "Murder, She Wrote" on Peacock TV. I have been looking for this show for so long. I love putting it on while I'm relaxing doing other things. Yes, I am very much an old lady at 34 ?
Need to get my hands on some of the books!
