I‘m listening to this one - and although I‘m enjoying it and believe the info id important it just feels like a lot. The world feels scary and ugly and listening to about how women have been marginalized for years just — I don‘t know if I can consume all this at this time — not sure if I am gonna DNF yet —

I enjoyed this one. It was twisty :) I love when I can‘t guess the ending. Also that rehab facility (I mean not the treatment rooms) but the spa and all those other amenities —- I wish I could visit!

So this one was “okay” just really was a #NotForMe type of book, maybe if I did audio I might have liked the accents or get more of the drama - or I don‘t know, I did like the MC eventually standing up for herself but felt like it took too long for it. Looking forward to the #RiseUpReads discussion
@Catsandbooks

Spent a little time reading outside. I had wanted to go to a beach and my hubby found one, but --- it was still too cold to spend time in the water. Hopefully soon!

Loved this graphic novel. The MC was a teen during my teen years, so it was a nice little trip down nostalgia. I mean, who didn't try to communicate with Kurt via Ouija?

#NotAnotherGraphicNovel

Father's Day puts me in a funk (miss my daddy) - gonna spend the day cleaning out our laundry room (and organizing that closet)

This was cute :) I live these Audible Original ❤️

Started this one yesterday while sipping a drink in the hammock - I am hoping to finish my homework early today so that I can have more hammock time. #NursingSchoolSux Ugh! I hate papers!

Super cute graphic novel. I am hoping to read Vol 2 soon :)

#Pride #LoveIsLove

This was a decent book, but --- It was a #NotForMe type of book. I can see why people loved it, but I found it pretty predictable and sappy, which - I guess it's the type of book it was supposed to be. Oh well.

I loved this one! It felt different than the others in the series since you got more of the bad guys perspective. anyway Kinsey always makes me crave Quarter Pounders! #BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks

#DoubleSpin is. Book from my Litsy #TBR —- picked this graphic novel #Pride #LoveIsLove

Found my #BookSpin book - The theme was #NextInSeries :) I love these books, so I am excited to start this one today - Today is my #FillYourCupFriday day, which means I plan on doing things to help me get prepared for my next 4 days of work - (I am counting that as filling my cup)

1. Laundry, 2. Relaxing time reading, 3. Homework, 4. DragRace, 5. Nice long shower and face mask

#AudioReSet
@TheAromaOfBooks

I really enjoyed this #DayOfTheDead #ThematicCozies book. I am hoping to find the next one on Libby :) --- Growing up, my family celebrates the Day of the Dead. My husband and I have tried to keep this tradition in VT with a little offering we keep in our home, but I really need to find a better area to put it in our home, so I can tend to it properly.

Pic is from a Doggie Church in VT that reminded me of home.

This was another cute audible original love story :) I am usually not lovely dovey reader but I like listening to these with the full cast :)

My #June #BookSpinBingo board. Not sure what my #BookSpin (Next in Series) and #DoubleSpin (Litsy TBR) books will be her. (since I did a partial #LoosyGooseyList

Finally got an outdoor #HammockReading day in yesterday. Woke up today to so much rain! I am glad I took advantage of yesterday!

My May #ISpy - I really enjoy playing these. I am gonna keep the same 1 card a month for another month longer, but I might make changes on how I tackle these in July - because they are SOOO hard!

@TheAromaOfBooks

#BookSpinBingo Card - No Bingos, (I didn't read any of my “free“ books or else I would have gotten one :) Anyway, read some great books, and finsiehd both my

@JulieClair

Ugh! I am going to say this one is a blah! It was super long, for that ending THAT ending!? #WTF
Anyway, thanks to the #HashtagBridgage and @BarkingMadRead fpr hosting :) I wouldn't have been able to finish this one alone.

@BarkingMadRead

I enjoyed the re-visit of this one. It felt too real/too haunting. I don't know if I would have been able to act in a similar way to the MC did. Like I get it, but could I? I highly doubt it.

Cleaned/organized my pantry for a big chunk of this #AudioCleaning (while drinking Bloody Mary's) - Love the new organization now.

Really enjoyed this one, the story was great and the artwork was very pleasing :)

Baby Lazlo

@Librariana

This one is captivating —- of course Lazlo isn't giving me enough space!!

I am not in menopause yet. But I am getting nervous about it being around the corner. As a true book nerd, I am going to be researching the hell out of it! Anyway, this book was written in such a lovely way. I love the “down-to-earth “nature of this book, which allowed me to really feel less scared. #BookSpin @TheAromaOfBooks

My Baby Lazlo.

Need to take better care of myself, my mental and physical health. I have been on the way side with taking my medications daily, exercising, and maintaining hydration. Stuff like that. I need to get into gear and create good habits, to carry me into the next phase of life - not here yet but - soon

Today:
💚 I did some yoga - need more movement and stretching in life
💚 I am going to f/u with my Drs
💚 Already filled water bottle !!!

I really enjoyed this one. I think I‘m gonna hit up book 2 soon.

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpinView (thanks for the tag)

1. I tend to drop books on my face, so I kinda have to read sitting up.
2. I love how honest this book is. The amount of information and normalization of what is happening to our bodies is something I really needed. So a #PerfectTiming type of book (not in menopause yet, but premenopausal).

Come play: @Aroyse @ElaineReadsNRambles @Morr_Books

I am currently in a journey where I practice listening to my body.

This was a cute little quirky romance (I love getting sucked into Audible Origjnals). Finished it while doing some errands today.

Meet our new baby - Lazlo

My #ThematicCozies pick for May :)

@julieclair

I enjoyed this one - wish it had a soundtrack though. I'm curious to hear rhe songs.

#Adulting (getting my winter tires off) - not my car in pic my beetle baby is not as vintage.

#OffTheShelf2025
@Librariana

Unfortunately, I know a few “Christians“ that fall into this category.

Not enough #Smut -- but I enjoyed the storyline of this as well :) So, Listened to this one on my car ride to pick up our new baby. We haven't come up with a name for him yet. We plan on spending the day with him to figure it out. He is a little spunky boy. Immediately bumrushed the other babes in our home.

Although its Wed; here is my #Two4Tuesday @SpineView

1. I think about 300ish? I have a reading room (our sun room) that I continue to work on cleaning up/organizing.

2. This book was ❤️ Chef's Kiss :) The drama; the suspense! I can see why people have recommended this one to me for years!

#ISpy for April :)
@TheAromaOfBooks

No Bingos but --- Good books and #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin books read!

Thanks again, @TheAromaOfBooks, for hosting and encouraging so many of us to read more!

Initially read this years ago, had almost forgotten how great it was - knew I liked it, but I hadn't remembered the intensity of the boys.

It was kismet that one of my co-workers (who saw me reading) had also randomly picked this one up! So we have been discussing too!
