Finally got a day to actually read, unfortunately it is because I am in bed sick.... but hey! A reading day is still a reading day! 📖 had to bail on my last book, just was not the right read for me... not sure if I will pick it back up later or not, but glad I get to read this amazing book! So far I‘m only about 1/4th of the way in and I absolutely love it! Can‘t wait to read what happens next 😁

Reading 📖 “Rust and Stardust” 💫 by T. Greenwood today at treatment. Plus, I‘m loving how cute my new bookmark is! 🌸 💐

Thought I would do some reading of Shirley Jackson‘s works since we are reading her book “The Haunting of Hill House”.

Such a perfect book for October!

Having watched the show and desperately wanted to read this book last year, finally getting around to reading it this year, it was absolutely fantastic. Eleanor “Nell”, trying to find a home and a place to feel herself. Thinking all along she had finally found a place to belong, only to feel as if everyone turned on her. Definitely not a book you want to read “In the night, in the dark.”

The kiddos got to pick out books for helping me out this week. 📚 Of course, I had to pick up a book of my own as well. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Day 2: orange cover

Day 2: Couldn‘t get any pictures of Hay today, but what about a barn with hay most likely in it 🤔 🌾

#spooktober @Eggs

1. We have a storm rolling through Kansas bringing tons of monarch butterflies through 🦋 it‘s absolutely amazing!

2. Apparently watch butterflies in the storm ⛈ but most of the time curl up with my girls on the couch

3. Maybe fall pictures if the weather is good 📸

Enjoying my coffee with probably too much creamer and sugar ☕️
Watching The Wizard of Oz with my girls this morning since one of them wants to be Dorothy for Halloween but has never seen the movie before. 😊

#bookclub
Our first book we read in our newly formed book club.
Definitely a very twisty and interesting post-apocalyptic world. Loved Atwood‘s description of color throughout the book. I have to admit, I loved the suspense of not knowing what was going on, being thrown into the world and finding out everything came to be, but it was a book that really took me time to read to understand.... Would love to hear anyone else‘s thoughts on the book!

Brought this book with me on my trip to the easy coast.... unfortunately did not finish it there as it was my last book of my stack to read. Even so, I am envisioning my trip through the details of this book. I am also apparently on a lighthouse kick.

1. Awesome!
2. Don‘t have a colon : (got it removed for genetic mutation and colon cancer)
3. Alternative
4. August 💙

Getting some reading in as the sunrises 🌅 I absolutely love the beach 🏝

1. 4 (not including the US 🇺🇸), Canada 🇨🇦 , Bahamas 🇧🇸 , Israel 🇮🇱 , Egypt 🇪🇬

2. Both... I honestly don‘t think I could decide. I love them both passionately!

3. Probably somewhere in South America. I‘ve always wanted to visit countries there, just not sure when it will happen

4. I love the settings to be different - it‘s my way of traveling without traveling

#wonderouswednesday @Eggs

Back at treatment again, but at least I get to get some reading done for my book club. 📖 T: 13 of 25... over half way done 🙌🏻

Planning for a family trip and the first thing I do is pick out books to read. 📚 Obviously the most important things to bring!

We are going to the east coast for a beach vaca 🏖 , so I picked out books that are based there. As such, Nicholas Sparks books are the majority. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Can‘t wait! Less than a week away!

1. I love the NC, it‘s a dream of mine to live there one day. I love the Outer Banks 🏖 and the Mountains ⛰
2. It‘s 63F now, but should warm up to 79F later. It‘s the first day it actually feels like fall is close 🍁
3. Hmmm.....not sure? 🤷🏼‍♀️
4. Twin 3yo girls 👯‍♀️, two dogs 🐶🐶, and two cats 🐱🐱

It is finished....

Absolutely adored reading this. #LOTRBuddies @JazzFeathers

Need to get back to my reading of The Hobbit, after my second breakfast of course 🍳 (jk! This is my first 🙃) @JazzFeathers

My book came in for my book club! I am so excited to read it! ❤️

Reading “Nights in Rodanthe” by Nicholas Sparks. I‘ve not heard the best reviews of this book, but it‘s fairly short and I got it from my book haul. Might as well power through. Lol hopefully I‘ll be pleasantly surprised while reading 🤞🏻At least I get to be outside enjoying some sunshine while it lasts ☀️ maybe I‘ll go join my girls in the kiddie pool later if they don‘t kick me out 😂

I love our little community library 📚 #nationalreadabookday

1. I can‘t quite think of a book that made me mad. 🤔
2. 30 rock!
3. Coffee ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
4. Central Standard Time
5. Red Stardust

I can‘t say enough great things about this book. Finished in a few days and was not at all what I was expecting. When I hear romance, I assume a passionate love of someone. Yes, it did have that, but not in the way I assumed. Very well written and a absolute joy to read. Not necessary a “happy” story - but I would say a happier ending than what the bookstore clerk had me believe. 😊

Does anyone else have troubles only reading one book? I completely choose my reading material of the day based on my mood. Today, I finally get a little time to relax without the kiddos running around. Got my hammock set up and get to spend a couple hours relaxing and reading. My kind of afternoon ☀️

I had my husband pick the next book for me to read, so he handed me his well read copy of “The Hobbit”. I know, I know..... I‘m probably one of the few that had not ready any of J.R.R. Tolkien‘s books, but I want to change that. I also think my husband is excited to finally talk to me about them!

Think I have a few more to add to my shelves - Mix of everything - just ones I haven‘t read or that were suggest to me, some for the husband and kiddos too 😊

$5 bag of books from our local public library and hundreds to choose from. 📚 Very excited to get started reading through my stash. 😊

What better way to spend a few hours at treatment than reading, 📖 it‘s probably the quietest times I get away from my kids! 😂 Circe is getting better, still have a ways to go left 👍🏻

Reading “Circe” by Madeline Miller, and I definitely feel like I had some hyped up recommendations.... I‘m about half way through the book and really having a difficult time finishing. Miller is a phenomenal writer and has wonderful descriptions of her characters and the world they live in. It‘s about Circe from Greek Mythology, and maybe I‘m just not as interested in that as I thought. Hopefully it finishes strong 🤞🏻

This weekend I was able to meet the author for “Keeping Lucy” and “Rust and Stardust”! T. Greenwood is such a wonderful author and incredible writer. The book “Rust and Stardust” is a historic or fiction book based on a kidnapping. I have not read much of this yet, but I am so excited to dive in more!

This book is amazing! I found the sequel at a bookstore in NYC a few years ago, not knowing it was a sequel. As soon as I realized it had a prequel book, I just had to read it! This summer I had some time in the mountains in Colorado to do some reading and wow, this book had so many twists - I absolutely loved it. If you are into murder mysteries/police investigations, you will love this book. I never had any idea how it was going to end 📖

Wow! What an incredible book! ⭐️ I soared through it with such passion because I could not put it down. I‘ve not had an emotional read such as this one.... read most of this book through teary eyes. 😭 such a heart felt read. 💕 would recommend to everyone! 👍🏻

Just got my book! I am so excited to read this and then meet the author on Saturday! I absolutely love our local bookstore that sets up author reading and signings - with so many amazing authors 💕

Reading 📖 in the rain is my favorite thing to do! ☔️ Glad I have such a good book to sit down and read. 💙 I‘m really loving this book so far.

I was given this book to read by a friend and I was hesitant to read it, not that I thought it was bad, it just isn‘t normally my first choice in reading materials. It turned out to be a surprisingly good and fast read.

Reading Hope Never Dies by Andrew Schaffer as a recommendation by my local bookstore since the author was coming to our town to do a signing. I did not get to go to the author signing but overall has been a fairly good book. If you were really into their bromance memes that came out after their time in office, you will probably love this book.

It was a good book and an easy read. I enjoyed his characters but I felt like it was a little choppy. Found out from meeting the author last night he worked in television, so I feel like that‘s why I felt his writing felt more like that. Could actually see it being a great movie one day. Oh, if the author comes out with a audio version in his voice - definitely get it! He has such a wonderful reading voice and puts so much life to his characters.
