It‘s so nice to be cozy and comfy and off for the summer and back into reading novels. Enjoying this one and hoping to finish it this week! Loving the chemistry of Will and Nico!

My two favorite audios of the month are big and at the top - I am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter and In the Lives of Puppets.

my fave graphic novel this past month - Tokyo Rose Zero Hour which really dug into some WWII history I was not familiar with and brought to light a story that was so compelling, especially in graphic format.

Hoping to push my reading more this summer!

My TBR for June - I put a bunch of graphic novels on my list to start off the summer mostly. I‘m using the bisexual flag and I‘m excited because my hubby plans to come out as well to family on his birthday 🥰. We have a flag ordered for our house finally as well.

Happy opening day for #LLSGPS !

After crazy traveling for the past few days - a wedding out of town and then quickly back to my father‘s retirement party - I was happy to sit on my couch and open this lovely package from @TheAromaofBooks filled with so many fun goodies and sweet scents and two new books to enjoy over my summer break coming up! Thank you so much for swapping with me!

#litsylove @Deblovestoread

Was out on errands today and picked up my preorder of The Malevolent Seven and The Moth Keeper grabbed my eye which is by the author of the Tea Dragon Society books. 🥰

Hopefully yours arrived safely already @TheAromaofBooks with the holiday weekend I lost track of time, forgot to take a picture and post this. Can‘t wait for opening day now! #LLGPS @Deblovestoread

I missed a book or two in this image and I can‘t figure out which ones 🧐. May is running away and I haven‘t even posted a wrap up of April. Not that I post much on here lately but I do like a good wrap up.

My faves in April would have to be Velvet was the Night, An Appetite for Miracles, and Unfamiliar just filled my little witchy needs.

Hope you all are reading some great books!

Well I guess I never posted my May TBR woops it‘s been a busy week! #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

Fantastic reading weekend full of great graphic novels and a great audiobook (also a verse book). #awesomeapril @Andrew65

Dying laughing at all the D&D moments in this graphic novel 🤣 #awesomeapril

#sundayfunday

I prefer audio or print books, if I have to I will eread but it‘s my last choice. I use a lot of audio to do other things during my day. 🥰

@ozma.of.oz

Looks like I picked it up last month I read 27 books, a mix of graphic novels, manga and audiobooks!

My fave manga right now is Frieren not gonna lie, it‘s so fun and I love the characters.

Magical Boy parts 1 and 2 was amazing graphic novel wise, I loved the story, the journey Max took through it!
I also loved The Scottish Boy - it was very spicy!
Spell Bound - I love all of Lukens works!
A Strange and Stubborn Endurance
The Stolen Heir

Just barely in time is my April TBR featuring a lot of graphic novels, manga, audiobooks and some pushover from March.

#bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

If you love a good sunshine and grumpy duo this may be the queer book for you. I absolutely dove into Lukens new book knowing I would find a cast of intriguing characters and a plot that would pull me in. I loved how sweet Rook and Sun end up falling, the moments that really pulled them together in this book.
Definitely going to be one of my top favorite books of this year.

Not my most read in a month, I hit a little slump even with audio books, I had a bookfair going on and just felt like a busy month overall. Really enjoyed finishing off Sorry, Bro as well as A Wish Upon the Stars - cannot wait to dive into the short stories next 🥰. The Eidolon showed up in my mailbox and I had to read it and now I am dying for the next book in that series.

So a decent reading month just slower for me than usual.

I‘m a bit late posting but here‘s my March TBR for #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

Thank you so much Megan for the lovely package! @actualdisneyprincess I also love Stash tea and peppermint is my go to at night before bed! I love the little teapot and the books you picked and the extras! I always could use more lotion and lip balm this time of year when it‘s cold and dry in the Midwest! Thanks for swapping with me! Love the journal too so pretty!

#llwbs #litsylove @Deblovestoread

Thank you @Graciouswarriorprincess for the awesome #muglove23 box of goodies! Thanks to @Cinfhen @TheKidUpstairs for hosting! I died laughing at the mug I‘m such a Star Wars nerd and I‘m so excited to add Nick and Charlie to my little Heartstopper collection and those stickers are so cute! Cannot wait to try out the new tea! 🥰

Sorry not sorry my first read of the year is the biggest best book of my month - I made a good choice. January was full of fun and interesting books I loved many more than just Ocean‘s Echo.

Crumbs Frizzy

Foul Lady Fortune

The Princess and the Scoundrel

The Keeper of Night was also amazing and I had fun rereading Little Thieves.

Different Kinds of Fruit

I read 28 books in January - my lowest number in a while but that‘s okay.

My Tbr for February! Some do overs from last month! #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

I‘ve been reading this week in honor of Sharread #sharreadathon @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Binged this lovely story about setting boundaries when it comes to love, putting a career first and waiting for someone to become more honest with you. Mixed with magic and baked goods, I simply adored this story. ❤️

Here‘s my #bookspin and #doublespin picks. My double spin is actually a reread for a book panel I‘m on so that one will definitely be read this month. Pretty good start I should get both of these done! @TheAromaofBooks

With the new year being busy I forgot to post my #bookspin list! So excited for a new year of reading 🥰 @TheAromaofBooks

I read 49 books in December, lots of fantastic audiobooks and graphic novels to finish out the year.

Some of my faves:

-Lavender House
-Wicked House
-From Dust a Flame
-Space Trash v 1
-Invisible
-Enemies
-Victory Stand
-The Atlas Six

And rereading The Consumption of Magic again even if it broke my heart.

It was a great year for reading. I didn‘t expect to make it to 500 books again with my new job but my panel pushed me to keep going and awesome books kept me up to speed. Looking forward to another year of great books!

Thank you @Pigpen_Reads for the awesome #winterwonderlandswap #wws package! Absolutely love everything!!!! @Avanders @Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie

My favorite list to make this year was my top 15 queer books I read in 2022. So many great series and authors found it was hard to narrow it down. I cannot wait to find more in 2023!

Hello novels of 2022! So many interesting books read this year, I had a hard time trimming it down to 12. All of these were read via audiobook and were excellent! ❤️

Let‘s start this years countdown with some top lists. I can never do top tens so I have 12s and a 15 for you today 😂😂. These are my top graphic novels read this year. I‘ll probably squeeze two more in today so hopefully they won‘t be amazing or this will get fixed later 😅😅😅.

Okay I‘m late like always. I had to pick 3 books for January because I read over 60 books that month and these were impossible to decide from. Heartstopper literally is so good - my fave GN series right now. So This is Ever After is such a perfect read - funny, romantic and queer and magical. Iron Widow was such a memorable read as well!

Thank you so much @CindyMyLifeIsLit for the awesome #jolabokaflodswap package! I‘ll have to try the recipe on the back of the card on my break! Those hot cocoas are so cute and that‘s one of the books I wanted most so thank you so much! ❤️

Spending my birthday talking up some of my favorite books in my library with my 6th grade classes today! ❤️

Received both of these packages today!!!

Can‘t wait to dress up my dogs this winter, should I get new sweaters 😂

My latest Christmas meme 😂 @Andrew65 #winterreadathon #winterdailychallenge

Misty! Your package showed up so fast! Thanks for the sweet holiday love! The homemade tree smells so good I can‘t wait to hang it in my car! I‘m excited to read this book and share it with my students. #litsylove @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Thank you so much @CoffeeNBooks for such a sweet holiday package! I definitely needed a pick me up this week. I definitely needed some coffee and new lotion and chapstick! And a graphic novel is just what I need for this season! ❤️ #litsylove

Having one of those moments where I forget everything - stress has been real 😅. My bestie was hospitalized over thanksgiving with Flu A and is finally back to herself now, my dog is finally starting to eat again after two days of vomiting and they found nothing wrong in his blood work. I had my work review and I‘m just ready for a real break because I didn‘t get one during Thanksgiving. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

I read 35 books in November I feel like I‘m missing one here 😅. I binged a lot of Star Wars High Republic books on audio which I HIGHLY suggest!

My fave graphic novels this month were Twelfth Grade Night and Sorceline!

I never posted my collage I made for October all these months are flying by since I started work. I read 36 books that month and some great standouts were:

Miss Quinces
Swim Team
The Last Cuentista
White Smoke
Daughter of the Moon Goddess

A little late to the game but working on some audiobooks this week while I‘m off cooking and cleaning 🥰 #novelnovember #readathon @Andrew65

Before I left Tuesday I set up my library for Mondays classes who will be my first groups to get a book tasting experience - I hope they save room from Thanksgiving for good literature! 🥰

Lots of good books coming up in November 🥰 #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

Thank you @Blerdgal_Fenix for the sweet spooky package! It made my week! ❤️ #litsylove
