pickThis was a fun cozy mystery. The audiobook added to the experience as well. It did include some Bridgerton, Shakespeare, and Star Wars spoilers, so beware 🤣
Almost done preparing my #HolidayCardSwap with stickers galore! Thanks to @TheBookHippie for organizing!

I very much enjoy reading and listening to books at the same time.
I usually always have one mystery going, even if I‘m reading 10 other things! Since I finished the latest Jimmy Perez (The Killing Stones) and I have this one out from the library in paper and audio form, hello busybodies!

I am an #armchairgardener — I fell in love with #FloretFarm from watching their series #GrowingFloret. Erin has gorgeous books and Floret maintains a YouTube channel with beautiful videos chock full of flowers, seeds, trees, and beauty. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
A bit of reading, thinking, and notetaking for Monday‘s #bookclub
“This censorship is being mobilized by groups espousing conservative viewpoints — and has spread to nearly every state— and predominantly targets books about race and racism or books featuring individuals of color and LGBTQ+ people and topics, as well those for older readers that have sexual references or discuss sexual violence.“ #bannedbooks

Anybody else love the #Finch app like I do? Here‘s my birb, #PennyBirb! #selfcare I spend an inordinate amount of time outfitting Penny and sending them off in adventures!
I finished all my work tasks so it‘s time for some enjoyment: comfy couch, weighted blanket, soft music, #immersionreading — 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
pickWell this one didn‘t end up where I expected! I enjoyed it, though the main character‘s casual pettiness and 1950s prejudices were annoying, even in a period mystery. I don‘t have much patience for it. I really enjoyed the audiobook narrator and loved my #immersionreading of print + audio. (And no, it‘s not really a holiday book 🤨)

#HyggeHour is on! That‘s my #Squishmallows festive #capybara 🎄and my #Bearaby weighted blanket. Heavenly!
Reading for tomorrow‘s book club. I broke down and got a physical copy — annotations really help me understand and flipping through the pages helps me remember. Now I have the book in 3 formats 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, I was out and about this morning! Visit @WanderingBookaneer ‘s feed to see some of her amazing photos of this morning‘s sights. (Now its back to #armchairbirdwatching for me!)

I‘m in an #armchairbirding era right now! 😜
This is an oversized children‘s book with 2-page spreads of magnificent birds. The factoids are just enough to whet my appetite to learn more.

This reminds me of the library tales @WanderingBookaneer has to tell 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 #foreword — they are many and varied! Also: “Every library is valuable in its particular way, and each is an example of the role and importance of libraries in the community of humanity.”
#TOC part 1. Inspired by @TheBookHippie I might do a deep dive on some of these and share some links. Interested? #librarylove
Thanks to my own personal librarian @WanderingBookaneer who brought these home for me! #libraryhaul #librarylove — And by the way, @WanderingBookaneer is back!!!!! Go show them some love! 💕
Lazy Saturday at home. This is #LexieCat — she‘s 4 years old and has very cute cow markings. She also loves to hunt her pink ball and makes loud hunting noises. #CatsofLitsy
pickLovely illustrations by #JenniDesmond make this book about migrations a delight. Each 2-page spread covers a different animal, from birds to crabs to turtles to wildebeests. Indulge your inner naturalist!
My first visit to the #CatCafe in #Sarasota! I cannot tell you how excited I was to visit with many cute kitties! How I wish we could adopt them all!
This one combines #armchairtravel and #birds! Must get my hands on a copy soon! #TBRtemptation at #BookstoreOneSarasota
Calling my fellow #armchairtravel enthusiasts! #TBRtemptation at #BookstoreOneSarasota — Update: @WanderingBookaneer got this from the library for me, so I‘ll be posting quite a bit about it (you‘ve been warned!)
I‘ve always been interested in how human consciousness works and this one seems accessible — I also love the bookseller‘s blurb! #TBRtemptation at #BookstoreOneSarasota
Need I say anything? 🤣🤣🤣 #TBRtemptation at #BookstoreOneSarasota
A book about attempts to simplify English spelling? Yes please! #TBRtemptation at #BookstoreOneSarasota
This one appeals to my nerdy, museum-loving, equality-seeking heart 💜 #TBRtemptation at #BookstoreOneSarasota
