Thank you so much @Pageturner1 for the sweet book and gift card! This was so unexpected but so thoughtful and appreciated ❤️ and it‘s ironic because we settled on naming baby girl Scarlett 🥰 - I also keep meaning to send an email— I haven‘t gotten a box since… November I think? Did your #cbbc book get returned to you? @Mommamanzi

Pageturner1 your very welcome! i did get my book. i‘m unaware if a new #cbbc started yet. that‘s a pretty name. it is funny i picked that book. congratulations 🎉 hope all goes well. 2w

If the book was a lot like the end of it.. I think I would have liked it more. This was just okay for me. It wasn‘t the worst but I also wasnt picking it up every chance I got to devour it. I am glad it stopped at two and was happy with the ending.

Overall I really enjoyed this book. I don‘t know if I was wild about the love story between Cas and Anna but I did love all the characters. And I‘m always a sucker for supernatural stories.

On to the sequel!

I can‘t believe it‘s been over a year since I posted. I shouldn‘t be surprised though. I swear having a baby, I feel, has accelerated time.

I‘ve decided to really focus on working through my unread pile of books and this was the first one I picked up. It was a quick, easy, and delightful read. Something I honestly needed with how bad my reading rut has been.

TheBookgeekFrau Welcome back!! And congratulations! 💕 6mo

Landon was born on 3.25.. at 6 lbs 7 ounces and my life will never be the same. I‘ve never felt such an overwhelming feeling of love that has utterly consumed me. Post partum has also def hit me hard- but the lack of sleep and difficulties with breast feeding hasn‘t helped that. But through all of it— I‘d do it all over again for my sweet boy. Thank you to @BethM for checking on me ❤️ I love my Litsy community

Chrissyreadit Congratulations!!! He looks like love itself. ❤️ motherhood is the most intense feeling of all. Just remember to take care of yourself, ignore critics and feel free to ask for help ❤️❤️❤️breastfeeding is hard! I loved it but it took several months and a lot of help for my first to latch- so if you are struggling know that happens a lot! 2y

(Post 2 of 2) I started a new position this week and my goal this time around is to just focus on separating work/home life and when I‘m off work I‘m off work. I don‘t think I mentioned on here— we are currently expecting our first child in April and I know I don‘t know everything about parenting the one thing I do know is I want him to have a love for reading. So my goal of 2022 is to get back to it. Hopefully y‘all will see more of me this year.

(Post 1 of 2) I feel like I hold the Guinness book of world records for longest reading slump 🥴🥴🥴 these past two-three years have been rough with my consistency for reading. The last 5 months especially have been hard. I log off of work and just kinda stare numbly at the tv because I was so mentally exhausted from work.

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Don't be hard on yourself. You've been living through a global pandemic these last couple years, plus who knows what else. There's a lot going on, it makes it hard to focus on reading, and that's ok. If you want to tho read a magazine, a graphic novel, an audio book, or some easy kid novels if that's all you handle. Or nothing at all, there is no wrong way to be a reader. 💗💗 2y

Perhaps this will be the summer of cozy mysteries for me but the third book in this series is completed and I honestly have no idea what it is but I love this series. Maybe I love it because it‘s helping me to pull me out of this massive reading drought that I have found myself in in the past two years but I also love the friendship aspect in this series and the relationship between Maggie and Sam. Either way I‘m here for it. Onto book4!

I‘m not sure if I ever posted on here or if it was just on my Instagram but my boyfriend and I are currently doing the #75hardchallenge. And one of the things you must complete each day with this challenge is to read 10 pages of a non fiction book a day (for 75 days). I just finished my first book, hanger management. Here is a photo of my other non fiction books I will attempt to incorporate in our challenge.

I won‘t lie. This book overwhelmed me. And not because I feel it was intentional on the writers behalf... I think it was more me seeing how I feel like every eating mannerism that was talked about I exhibit in some shape way or form. I‘m very much into mindfulness but I instantly felt overwhelmed thinking “shit, I feel like I need to fix everything about how I eat”. I think it‘s is a great book with great tips though.
