I‘m so freaking excited, y‘all!!!

My son had his first middle school dance tonight! He and his pal went as Harry and Ron. I painted his hair orange but it‘s hard to tell. Hp

I‘m loving this book!

I literally, CAN NOT WAIT!!!

I loved the hell out of this book. It captures everything I feel about food and cooking. Food can be such a sexy thing. Preparing it. Cooking it. Eating it. When it‘s good; It‘s a religious experience. I liked the language and the rawness. It‘s a winner for me.

😱😍

I‘m really enjoying this one! It‘s about the ugly stepsisters and the power of redemption. It‘s got wonderful anti-bullying undertones.

I‘ve been meaning to read this one for quite a while and it did not disappoint. The story was sweet and a little melancholy and the characters were endearing. It‘s recommended for 5th grade and up, and I think it‘s just charming.

Ok this is not YA. It has several triggering moments. I actually skipped a few chapters in the middle. The last couple of chapters saved the book.

I enjoyed this book. I had bailed on it before, but this time I liked it. I was a little annoyed at times, it could be slow. But all in all it was good.

I watched this movie today, based on the book of course. It was lovely. If you enjoyed the book, I recommend you find it.

The library ordered the audio for me! Maybe I can finally get through it.

I enjoyed this more than I expected. I haven‘t been reading much YA lately and this reminded me of my love for good YA. I‘ve already borrowed the next in the series.

I woke up around 2:15am, couldn‘t go back to sleep so I went searching for a book on CloudLibrary. The cover of this one snagged me and then the story caught me as well! EXPIRED BEFORE I COULD FINISH. I‘ll come back to it later.

Sooo I know I‘m not starting at the beginning... but holy crap. It‘s 🔥🔥 and it‘s well done!

⭐️All the dang stars! ⭐️ I hope there will be more.

This book is absolutely beautiful. The audio has me completely captivated. I don‘t want it to end.

This audiobook is horrible!! I almost don‘t wanna keep going. I‘m going to download the ebook instead.

This has been on my TBR for quite a while. I was not disappointed. I loved the format. It read like an interview. I‘m excited to see what happens next.

I loved this!! It totally caught me up in its story.

I‘m going to be the unpopular opinion. I didn‘t hate it, but it didn‘t grip me. I only read it cuz the author used to live in my home town. I had no idea about Georgia Tann and the horrible things she did, so that was interesting. The book was just kinda slow and flat.

I am absolutely loving this book! It‘s been a while since I‘ve read something that has gripped me and transported me like this has. I can‘t what to find out how it ends!

Crookshanks fell asleep reading. 🤣 #catnap #catsoflitsy

Y‘all. I can‘t believe I did this, but I boxed up at least 15 boxes of books and got rid of 3 book shelves. I had to do it. I was taking over the house and living space for my family. I actually feel a little relieved now that it‘s done. I filled all the little free libraries in town, donated some to the library and am giving the rest to my sister in law who is building a mini-version of the Beasts library. I feel good.

I was so excited for this book. It took me ages to read it because my library hold came at a bad time and then I had to wait for it to come up again. It also took a long time because I was so distracted by how different a book it was from Widow of the South. If I hadn‘t had it on audio I wouldn‘t have finished it. The last few chapters saved it for me, but I didn‘t love it.

Because it was told by girls 13 and under the story is a little thin. I felt frustrated and the ending did nothing for me. ⭐️⭐️

I had a friend for high school message me on Facebook the other day begging me to read Amy Harmon so she would have someone to fangirl with. I‘m so glad she did! I‘m really enjoying getting to know this author.

I don‘t know y‘all. I didn‘t even enjoy this one bit. Vasya deserved more. — I did finish it tho.

Ugh. I‘m soooo wanting to bail on this one. I‘m so sick of Vasya constantly getting the crap beat out of her and she just keeps going back for more! I mean, if we can just have a quick little happily ever after I‘d be good with it.

This series should be a movie! At the very least, Netflix needs to pick it up for a season or 5. 😍

Lirael just said she could see charter marks for repelling dust running around the room... this is magic I need to learn how to cast! 🧙‍♂️My Disreputable Dog, Story, says good morning.

I‘ve been waiting to read this one for ages. I loved The Widow of the South.

1. We are going to Dublin, TX for their annual celebration and parade! Planning to go tour an artisanal cheese factory, and Dublin Bottle Works.
2. I‘m gonna be cliche and say how lucky I am to be married to my best friend.
3. I really enjoyed the tagged book!

I agree so much with this quote! I highly recommend audiobook on this one. Him reading it is half of it‘s debauched charm.

If you‘ve been to Galveston, TX so much of this story is familiar. It‘s also kinda heartbreaking.

Starting this series with my boys! I hope they love it like I did as a kid. 🦁🧙‍♀️🚪 this book has doors in the center that open and show a timeline of Narnia.

This is just what I was needing. I‘ve read many of Lewis‘ books and it‘s really specialty hear about Joys life and how their friendship blossomed into love. Also, seeing Lewis as a real person who knew him, sees him is refreshing.

My son is the Mad Hatter in the schools 5th grade musical! I got roped into being “super stage manager” I‘m out of my element like crazy, but we had our first show last night and it went really well!

They are here!!! She had 3 y‘all! I was totally amazed. @Soubhiville 2 boys and a girl. They were born Saturday, they‘ve been closed up with a heat lamp and I finally let them out today. Everyone is doing great!

Y‘all. I loved, loved, loved it! Such a neat way to tell the story. I wanted to know more, I was engaged and now I really want to visit Alaska. ❤️

I can always count on Flavia to pull me out of a slump!

1. Story, my darling chihuahua. We also have a chiweene named Maize, a cat named Garfield and a pregnant goat.
2. Hanging out with the hubby before he leaves Monday for two weeks to start a new job.
3. Baking goodies and yelling at my kids. 🤣
4. ⚯͛ world, Washington during cherry season, and NYC at Christmas time.
5. What‘s your favorite smell? Mine is probably wet, freshly turned earth.

♥️♥️♥️♥️ I loved this!! It‘s like McKinley‘s Beauty, but from the Beasts perspective. And if you audiobook it, read by Jim Dale. Just heart warming and delightful. If you are a Beauty and the Beast junkie like me, read it.

Happy Valentines Day! This seems the perfect book to be reading right now. What says Valentines like love letters?! I‘ve had this book for ages and haven‘t picked it up before now. It‘s one of those, why haven‘t I read this and at the same time I‘m thankful for a new treasure. #epistolary

♥️ A favorite of what I‘ve read so far this year.

5⭐️‘s
Epistolary is my happy place.

Sorry for being MIA, I‘m still here, just not posting much. I‘ve been dnf so many books after investing large chunks of time to them, it‘s been very disheartening. This one tho, was a treat.

Oh my gosh y‘all. Words can not describe how thankful I am today. I had the worst being a mom day ever. I totally failed my child and was having a dreadful day. We finally got home and I had two totally random Litsy friend packages on the porch! I can‘t even. Y‘all lifted my heart like you can‘t imagine. So thankful. @Soubhiville @Jas16

Neil Gaiman reading Neil Gaiman = heaven.
