Where are my Pedro fans? I love him for his acting talent, but even more for THIS ⬆️ and his advocacy. “Support the people that support you.” 👏🏻👏🏻♥️♥️ #overcomingevilempires #notbookrelated #prettypedro

A dark day for our country. Again. #haikuhive #haikuaday

On a lighter note, I suddenly remembered that I needed to post the #readyourkindle numbers for July! Whoops - my mind is just 🤪 but here you go, friends! Enjoy! #readyournook #readyourebooks #readyourkobo

Thanks to @Karisa for introducing me to this poem. I‘ve read it over and over again this morning and also listened to James Earl Jones read it, plus this 🔥 video: https://youtu.be/AXz1wypzPS8?si=ouyKvgswv07T6CKB
Read it, listen to it, share it. And be in awe that this was written in 1935! Yet here we are. #readingispolitical #overcomingevilempires #antifabookclub

Less work to do in November, amirite? Kept meaning to do it and have finally accepted that it just isn‘t happening, so…..Christmas all year! 😂😂🤪🤪#wdncw #wedonotcarewednesday @dabbe

I know I‘ve done an interesting color words post before, but I just LOVE unique words for colors. Here are a few, and here‘s an article to read: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/59328/19-colors-youve-probably-never-heard
Who knew “puke” and “xanadu” were colors? #weirdwords #weirdwordswednesday

Sorry I‘m late, friends! Here is the #TBRtarot pick for July! Enjoy 😊 Heads up, if you‘re participating in #camplitsy25, the Okorafor book is sci fi (I‘ll be using it for this prompt)!

Sharing for @LiseWorks and @StayCurious ♥️⬆️
Good luck with the new group! #litsysnailmailclub

My peeps, this one is inspired by finally starting therapy again and realizing, again, that I have “porous boundaries.” That is, no boundaries. I have a lot of work to do 😅🤪🫣🤦‍♀️ #haikuaday #orwhenever #haikuhive #lazybee

Only got to one in June, mainly because it was WDS for #camplitsy25, but onward! Here‘s a reminder to post your list, if you haven‘t already 😊#readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook #readyourkobo

#camplitsy25 peeps - if you use Kindle, one of our July reads is on sale! @squirrelbrain @Megabooks @BarbaraBB

This was beautiful. #nospoilers #camplitsy25 #readyourkindle @squirrelbrain @Megabooks @BarbaraBB

Jen, judging from the look on Fig‘s face, I don‘t think she could care less because a) she‘s a cat, and b) she‘s a cat. But I am HAPPY and so grateful! Another Rupi Thorpe! I recently bought The Girls From Corona Del Mar, and I‘ve read Margo and Fang. She‘s a favorite! Thank you so much for sending this to me, my friend 😊 @Jas16

Sorry, friends, for not keeping up with this as well recently!
Here‘s an article: https://science.nasa.gov/biological-physical/what-is-lunar-regolith/ #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

@AmyG you have spoiled me, my friend! I couldn‘t wait to open it (duh). In my defense, the (adorable) wrapping paper was torn, so I could see the books and well, BOOKS! Thank you, friend. Been wanting to read these for ages. And I needed a boost today, so thanks for that too ♥️♥️

Humidity, anyone? Anyone? Bueller? I hate summer right now 🥵😂 #haikuhive #haikuaday

897 pages later, and I am a better person for it. Masterful, brilliant, heart wrenching, full of anger and sadness and wit and humor. I absolutely loved it. And yep, I know this much is true 😉
(Side note: Wally Lamb lists Mrs. Piggle Wiggle as the first book he read that inspired his writing life. I LOVED Mrs. PW 😊♥️).

Me today. Luckily, it all happened in close proximity and it‘s been a less klutzy day since then 😂🤪 #haikuhive #haikuaday

I‘ve known a handful of harridans 😂😬😅 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

So this isn‘t a haiku, but it sort of poured out of me and thought I‘d share it 🤓😂🐝💛 #haikuhive #nerdsunite #haikuaday

I meant to read this last month in honor of sweet Elisabeth, but I think it still counts. I can see why she loved this series and Kim Stone! She‘s a fantastic character and can‘t wait to continue the series. #readyourkindle #4elisabeth @robinb @Andrew65

In honor of #readyourkindle day, I present a haiku:
Today is the day
Trusty spinner thingie speaks
Which books will you read?
Have fun, friends! #readyourkobo #readyourebooks #readyournook

Thanks to @OriginalCyn620 for this month‘s prompt! Have fun, friends! #TBRtarot

Friends, here is my #readyourkindle list for June! This is also a reminder to post your list (if you already have, awesome!). Have fun and happy reading 📖😊
#readyourebooks #readyournook #readyourkobo

So, back when Oprah started her book club, I was super into it and read quite a few of the first books she chose. This beauty was one of them. Decided to reread it this week and I‘m so glad I did. It‘s still wonderful, and 20 years later (omg I‘m old) it still resonates. Would you believe this is the only Wally Lamb book I‘ve read? 🤦‍♀️

My #weirdwordwednesday pick! I remember discovering this word during a word game - maybe Words With Friends or similar - and always thought it was a bit silly sounding. This little googol mascot guy should have googly eyes, I think 😂 #weirdwords

Just a haiku inspired by the constant commercials for different medications. It could help you, or even cure you, but watch out for the crazy amount of side effects including death. It‘s wild 🤦‍♀️😅😮 #haikuaday #haikuhive

An evening storm brews
Thunder rumble lightning flash
Rain drenching the night
#haikuaday #haikuhive 🐝 💛 🐝 💛

Totally gave this five stars just for that ending. Great, fast read. #readyourkindle

The song “Wolf,” by First Aid Kit, has been in my head this morning, prompting this haiku. Including the link (in comments) for that song plus another I love by Brandi Carlile (Mama Werewolf). #haikuaday #haikuhive

I barely get out of this house and when I do, I somehow catch my death (okay, it‘s just a cold, but I feel awful) 🤯🤧😷😂 #haikuaday #haikuhive

Um, Denise? I think you‘re my good luck charm 😂😂🙌🏻🙌🏻 How the heck did I do this? I also have to mention @Sace because she gave me the tip to start with “adieu.” I‘m never doing it again, it‘ll just be a disaster 😂😂😂 @dabbe
Edited to add: sorry if I just spoiled and gave away today‘s answer - you must understand this never happens to me 😆

This word came up in my last read (Saltwater 🙌🏻🙌🏻). It would be so fun to ride one of these! 😊
Here‘s an article about some well-known funiculars around the world: https://www.treehugger.com/fabulous-funiculars-from-around-the-globe-4863745

Meant to post this yesterday but, it‘s been a hard start to the week. May 19 will always be hard, I think. #haikuhive #haikuaday

Holy sugar snaps, Batman!! This was seriously so good. A whole gaggle of extremely unlikable people, set mostly on the island of Capri (which has its own unique and horrific history - I‘m looking at you, Tiberius). Plus, not one, but two ending twists that totally blew my mind. Phew 😅

Y‘all 🥱🤪😅👀 #haikuaday #haikuhive

I love stream of consciousness writing, it can be so therapeutic.
#haikuaday (or maybe every other day 😂) #haikuhive

Maybe slightly melancholy - but I admit the day in day out monotony gets to me more often than not 🙃🤷‍♀️ #haikuaday #haikuhive

It‘s a low pick. If was just soooooo slow 😩😩🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Today‘s #weirdwords choice could make you hungry, or make you feel ill, depending on how you feel about peas 🫛😂 #weirdwordwednesday

These little wrens are some of our favorite birds. I discovered a pair building a nest in a hanging plant - so far, no eggs, but apparently they build multiple nests and then choose the best one. Still hopeful! Such spunky little friends. #haikuaday #haikuhive
