Okay, so I‘d started this a couple of months ago and stopped listening. THEN it appeared on my #ALSpine list from @TheKidUpstairs and I thought, here‘s my sign to finish it! I‘m so glad I did. What a beautifully written, well researched, thought provoking, informative, emotional read this was. #AuldLangSpine @monalyisha don‘t dock any points cause I started early 😂😂

Happy New Year, friends! I made this prompt specifically for anyone doing #ALSpine, and really for anyone who has a book on their radar because of another Litten‘s recommendation (I have tons!). TBH it‘s mostly selfish and I didn‘t randomly pick it - but I hope it will work for you guys as well 😁😅😂

Almost 2026, whattttt? Post your list if you haven‘t, and if you already have, yay! Important housekeeping thing though - if you‘d like to be removed from my tag list, let me know! And to those who want to hang around, thanks! 😊 #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook #readyourkobo

I swear, I‘m in slo mo - despite this being super engaging and enjoyable, it took me forever to read. Don‘t let that fool you though! Awesome premise and kept me guessing - not a thriller, per se, but I loved the whole “cat and mouse” thing happening. 👏🏻

I still think about this beautiful book. #12BooksOf2025 @TheEllieMo

Trying to post some good ones that I didn‘t add to my #ALSpine list! Loved this one but of course bittersweet because Tony is no longer with us 💔 #12BooksOf2025 @TheEllieMo

I did not expect to love this as much as I did! #12BooksOf2025 @TheEllieMo

January and February 2025 😊 January was an #ALSpine pick from @CSeydel and y‘all know how much I raved about the HMRC series this year 😁 #12Booksof2025 @TheEllieMo

We do not care…. We do not care. I never post pics of myself - heck, I never TAKE pics of myself. But friends, I‘m stepping out of my comfort zone. Here I am - I actually exist. And I got half my hair chopped off. So! We do not care, we are posting this anyway. #wdncw @dabbe

All of the happy holiday wishes to all of you lovely Littens! Per usual, in #weirdwords tradition, here is an article: https://parade.com/533190/beckyhughes/learn-to-say-merry-christmas-in-26-differe...
#weirdwordwednesday #happyeverything

I just loved this. So many beautiful lessons, a bit of found family, lots of lovely sounding food. I kept picturing the gorgeous cherry trees in my head. Thanks to @Soubhiville for reminding me I had this on Kindle - plus it fits for #TBRtarot, so yay!
#readyourkindle

Apparently today is an S word day 🤷‍♀️ Can I add “shitstorm?” Asking for a friend….. 😂😂🤪🤪 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

Thank you, universe, for used bookstores. Amen and amen. @TheKidUpstairs @monalyisha #auldlangspine #ALSpine #2026

I snatched this from the library after reading all of the praise from other Littens. And well, I loved it. I wished for more. Makes me regret giving my copy of W&L away (wasn‘t in the right headspace for it at the time, might have to revisit). I got Tomorrow x3 vibes a little - except swap video games for books 😂

I loved this - #dysfunctionalfamilyfiction at its finest! @AmyG @Chelsea.Poole you would like this, I think! 💚

This would have been more appropriate for October, but my mind is not linear and I mean wasn‘t October like a day or two ago? 🤪🤪😂😂 We‘ve had a handful of interesting things happen around our house recently and my husband really wants it to be a poltergeist 😂 As long as it‘s a nice ghost, I‘m cool. #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

Today‘s the day….. I spin the numbers and…. slay?
I have no idea 😂😂🤪🤪 Have fun and happy December, friends! #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook #readyourkobo

This is going to be an adventure, Megan! I haven‘t heard of most of these and can‘t wait to delve into this list more. I love Rebecca Wait (I‘ve read two of her books), and I‘ve heard great things about Stone Yard, BUT I will very likely start with The Hounding and Raja the Gullible as those are both already on my TBR. Very excited! Thank you 💚💚 @TheKidUpstairs @monalyisha #ALSpine

Ummmmm. Bit of a snooze fest and rather meh. The “Queen of Twists” - not so much with this book (sorry, Alice - I still love you). And the ending was really disappointing. Ugh.

Here we go, fellow #TBRtarot people! Hope it turns out to be an easy one🤞🏻 Happy December!

I almost forgot to post my own list 😅😅😂😂 That said, here if your reminder to post yours if you haven‘t already, friends! Let me know if you want to be added or removed from my tag list. #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook #readyourkobo

Oh oops…. I thought you needed some help. Can I check my meow-mail while I‘m here though?
😂😂💚💚 #fig #catsoflitsy

Doing a #weirdwords thing and a book review all in one! Beautifully written book based on TOO MANY instances of women having very normal FEELINGS of sadness, being overwhelmed, under-appreciated, you name it. You‘re not sad, you‘re hysterical! Let‘s do a little ECT or maybe a lobotomy and see if that helps! Let‘s not forget how many women were misdiagnosed (unnecessary suffering)! The epilogue is 🔥 #weirdwordwednesday

Half audio, half print - normally I have trouble focusing on NF in print, but since I started my boycott of Spotify right in the middle of this, you do what you have to do 🤷‍♀️ I‘ve since gotten more familiar with Karie which enhanced the reading experience. This is not an easy book, but it‘s an incredibly important one.

What the heck happened between book 2 and book 3? I legit almost bailed on this. I don‘t want blissful family life, Freida! I want murder and mayhem, twists and turns! Only the last 1/4 or so redeemed it, but just barely. Big meh. #readyourkindle

Well shit, Freida. Suki is incredulous. I don‘t know how I‘m hooked but, I‘m in it for the long haul now 😂😂 #readyourkindle (friggin Kindle Unlimited will be the death of me)

Welp.
I bought into the hype. And read this in two days.
Did I immediately start reading the next one?
Yes. Yes, I did. #sorrynotsorry 😂😂🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
#readyourkindle

Cool word but can we not use the White House in the example sentence? #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

Well. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Despite being in a constant blushing state because those sex scenes were 🔥🔥🔥😳😳😳
Already put a hold on the next one 🤭

Carrie, didn‘t you recommend this to me? If not, oops 😂 We chatted about a bunch of books when #ALSpine started and I seem to remember this being one of them. ANYWAY! It was fantastic! If it was you, thanks 😊 @CSeydel #TBRtarot

Also genuine, true blue, the real deal, and so on. I feel like it could describe the fab new governors, the new NYC mayor, the folks who flipped the script all over the country. Well done 🩵 🌊 💙 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

I listened to this on repeat in the car yesterday - it‘s beautiful. M and sons + Hozier = dreamy.

Future facades, fakery
Fires, fear, frustration

Hopefully this will help any of you having a case of the Mondays like I am! 🤪
Have fun, tag me, let me know if you want to be added/removed from my tag list! Thanks for playing along, friends 💚 #readyourkindle #readyourebooks
#readyournook #readyourkobo

This one should be easy, friends! Have fun! #TBRtarot

Just in the nick of time! If you haven‘t posted your list, here‘s your reminder 😁 #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook #readyourkobo

Apologies for my recent brief absence, friends. The world, my mind, my heart - it‘s all so much (too much) and is getting the best of me lately. I had a word all ready for #weirdwords yesterday and forgot to post - am behind on posts for #readyourkindle. Anyway, here is my very gloomy reasoning in haiku form 🤷‍♀️😬#haikuhive

Started out like meh and ended up like yeah. Excellent twists, most of which I didn‘t see coming. A great read for spooky season 🐦‍⬛

Happy International Wombat Day! Read this, especially if you need a laugh: https://theoatmeal.com/comics/wombats?fbclid=PAVERFWANl7Z1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp2b2j...
(Sorry that link is so friggin long 😅)

Apparently this is the longest word for “pretty” or “beautiful.” That‘s a whole lotta syllables 😂🤪 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

Funky photo but it was still semi dark when I finished this morning 🤪 Overall, I liked this! Agree with some reviewers who mentioned how it dragged a bit - mainly the middle - but the premise was super unique and the adventures/misadventures happening kept me turning the pages. Not sure about the ending - I had other ideas but, I didn‘t write the book so 🤷‍♀️😂
#readyourkindle

Jen, you keep spoiling me! Thank you for sending this my way - I started it a while back (library book) but I think it was a “me, not the book” situation 😂🤪 Look forward to trying again 💚💚 @Jas16

I didn‘t really realize it until today, but grimace is sort of a weird word to say. Try saying it a few times and see if you agree 😁 And who could forget lovable Grimace (but why did they give him that name?) of McDonald‘s fame! #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

This was so very good. What keeps sticking in my brain is how interconnected the people of Sarajevo were before the war - different groups/cultures/religions living side by side in peace. I don‘t think I‘ll ever understand why acceptance and interconnection are so hard, or how violence and war are so easy. #TBRtarot (debut author/debut book)
Thanks again, @Jas16 💚💚

It‘s impossible for me to put into words how impactful and important this book is. This was one of many quotes that struck me right in the heart.

I‘m almost at a loss for words after finishing this absolute GEM of a book. I loved every moment. #readyourkindle

I read the word “caprice,” and thought 💭 it sounded musical - lo and behold, it is! So, I figured I‘d include “capriccio” as well. Wasn‘t there also a car called a Caprice? Anyway, it‘s early, I‘m rambling 😂 enjoy!

I 💚 Percival Everett. #readingispolitical #readingisresistance #antifabookclub

Loved the history aspect and have already started down a rabbit hole 🤓 It can‘t match Her Majesty‘s Royal Coven series but I really liked it!

I‘m late, friends! But here we go 👏🏻👏🏻 Have fun and happy reading! #readyourkindle #readyourebooks
