#bookspin #bookspinbingo #august2022

Let‘s start fresh!

#22booksin22 #readmyroom

This is such a fun series! Lily comes through again. She really is such a likable character and she‘s gaining confidence.

Another owned book off my list! I forgot to make my #bookspin list for July and also the #BFC2022 challenge. I‘ve fallen off and crashed the wagon. But next month my plan is to get back at it. This year has had its challenges so I‘m going to make the best of the rest of 2022. 💜😊 📚

#childrensbooks

This is a wonderful book about how music finds those who need it and crave it. The artwork is so bright and cheerful!

#justanothergraphicmonday

Cute book - art work was good

#readmyroom #22booksin2022 #22booksin22

Finally decided to get this one finished. I do own a copy of this book, and I did purchase the audiobook too. Michael C. Hall was the narrator (excellent). My favorite character was Judd. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

#bookspin #bookspinbingo

My list for #bookspin - my reading has been dismal lately. Only one or two books a month. Let‘s try to turn things around.

Interesting and informative book. Definitely brought attention to finding ways to make money or at the beginning learning financial goals. The author is a bit abrupt, but sometimes we need that to open our eyes to finding a new and better way (in money and other areas of our lives).

#BFC2022 No March update as I‘ve been in a funk.

April Goals:
1. Eat better - less sugar
2. Exercise 3 times a week
3. Camp NaNoWriMo - write/edit/study 3 times a week
4. Read 10 books
5. Finish current WIP - cross stitch project

#bookspin #readmyroom

Here is my bookspin list. My plan is to have a better reading month in April.

#justanothergraphicmonday

A cute and cool graphic novel. There were a few panels I had a hard time following, but they all came together in the end. Thanks @ElizaMarie

#audiocrafting #crossstitch

Cross stitch while listening to an audiobook. This book was super short but packed full of information and challenges.

#artmagick #mollyroberts

I preordered the first book for 2022. I was so excited when Molly announced her first book release that I went to Amazon and preordered it. She is one of my favorite YouTubers/Patreon makers.

#sundaysoapbox

My reading tastes are sometimes not really in line with mainstream.

Some I do recommend are:

Annie Freeman‘s Fabulous Traveling Funeral
Dracula
A Walk In The Woods
Ex Libris
I Hate Fairyland
Pumpkinheads
Night
The Snowy Day
IT
What‘s Eating Gilbert Grape
The Gargoyle
To Kill A Mockingbird
Unbroken

Nonfiction and horror are my two favorite genres. I‘ve really come to enjoy horror graphic novels.

#BFC2022

Book goal - 4 books
Fitness goal - chair yoga one time per week and meditation one time per week

I never get sick, but this past December I got pneumonia and covid - hospitalized for 5 days. I‘ve had pneumonia twice before so I know how hard the recovery can be. This January is all about recovery for me. Gaining back my strength and then some. Resting. Putting myself first when it comes to good health.

#Two4Tuesday

1. I am NOT a snow lover at all. I absolutely hate winter weather. We did get snow this week. My plan is to stay inside for the next few weeks.

2. If it‘s cold outside, I want to stay inside. While snow can be lovely to look at through the window, I have no desire to be out in it.

#bookspin #bookspinbingo

I‘m sticking with my original list for my bookspin this month. These are books I‘d like to focus on this coming year. The free spaces give me a bit of wiggle room for mood reading.

#justanothergraphicmonday

Issue 17 - another good grunge art read. This is the beginning of Erica‘s journey.

#justanothergraphicmonday

First quick book for the new year. This series is really starting to grow on me. Issue 16 - great grunge artwork.

#wondrouswednesday

1. Well I read 64 books. My greatest challenge was (is) recovering from pneumonia and covid at the moment.

2. Tagged book along with Something Is Killing the Children and I Hate Fairyland.

3. A lot more reading - making the time to sit and read. Work on a reading journal. Creativity.

#audiobook #audiostitching #crossstitch

Working on a Christmas present while listening to an audiobook for library book club tomorrow.

#litsylovewinterswap

My package went in the mail today! @babyruth2510 - my package did arrive all safe and sound from you. I‘m super excited to open it.

#readmyroom #22booksin22

In 2022, I‘m going to challenge myself to read books I own. @AkashaVampie created the #readmyroom challenge which I‘m combining with my #22booksin22 challenge. The free spaces must be books I own as well, but I wanted to give myself room for mood reading. Please feel free to join along. Tag me in your lists and reading your owned books. If you want to be tagged in my updates, let me know.

#Two4Tuesday

1. Having hot cocoa puts me in a Christmas mood.

2. I‘m looking forward to reading the library book club selection: The City Baker‘s Guide To Country Living.

#audiostitching #crossstitch

This was a detailed and very well researched book (especially for it‘s time). While there are a couple of contradictions and a one or two points I disagree with, it‘s definitely a pick. I learned a lot and am glad to have expanded my knowledge.

#wondrouswednesday

1. Yikes 😳 - Kris Radish, Mike Rowe, Juliet Blackwell are three that come to mind.
2. Gilbert Grape
3. Daily Magic

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍽🍁

#justanothergraphicmonday

I stumbled across this after buying The Invisible Life of Addie Larue. The cover is amazing. The premise is interesting. This #0 is super short so not much to go on yet, but intriguing.

#Two4Tuesday

1. IF I get my hoarding desk under control tomorrow, my plan is to just read as much as I can. Thankfully I‘ll be alone with my pets for some nice quiet time.

2. Mashed potatoes 🥔 🤤

Scout really misses me when I am gone for the day. It‘s rough protecting the home by himself. #litsydogs
He‘s super special and I feel lucky to have him.

#Two4Tuesday

1. My was 52 and so far I‘ve read 60.
2. I‘d like to read the tagged book by the end of the year. (And maybe a few others)

#two4tuesday

1. I‘ll visit any bookstore anytime! I especially loved Mr. Kay‘s and Malaprops in Asheville.

2. Before my smart phone I used to keep a list of books I‘d need when I went to my local dollar used bookstore in Florida.

#novelnovember

I haven‘t been able to participate in these the past few months, but I am ready this month. My goal will be to catch up on my library books. I have a couple of graphic novels and cookbooks to read through. Hosted by @Andrew65

😵‍💫 👀

#bookspinbingo

Fun book

#wondrouswednesday

No, but I have plans to start a journal.
It‘s been okay. I‘ve finished 5 books so far.
Grateful: my children, good weather, great pets, good books

#litsylove

It‘s been a minutes since I‘ve sent out some #litsylove. I‘ve been battling some migraines for two months. I‘m trying to get back into sending some letters. I do apologize for the lack of letter writing.

Also consider the dog fur a bonus 🤪😏 🐶 🐱

#bookspinbingo #bookspin #cross-stitch

This is a fantastic and fun spooky cross stitch book. There are quite a few creepy cute patterns. The author has a short poem for each one along with a few sentences to describe her ideas behind the pattern.

#bookspinbingo #bookspin

This is one of the best organizing books I have read. She goes into what kind of clutter bug you are and what is the best way to contain your stuff. My office is a hoarder‘s mess and my goal is to start making it work for me. I‘ve already ordered some supplies. I‘ll be sorting the piles of paper once my stuff arrives.

#bookspin #bookspinbingo

This was a library book club selection (discussion takes place tomorrow. I was surprised by how much I ended up enjoying this book.

#bookspinbingo #bookspin

This was an okay book. There was some useful and good information in it, but the few grammatical errors detracted from the quality. Overall a generally informational read.

#PLC #mermaids

I never discount legend type cryptids. Maybe they were real at some point. Maybe they still are today and stay hidden. I‘ve seen a few weird videos which could be mermaids. Plus manatees are mermaids! Have you ever seen the mermaids of Weeki Wachee? So much fun!

#bookspinbingo #bookspin

I really enjoyed the comic style book about women pioneers.

#bookspin #bookspinbingo

This series is getting better with each volume. I am looking forward to volume 4 in January!

#justanothergraphicmonday

#bookspinbingo #bookspin

Bingo card ready to go. I have a few extra free spaces because I finished a couple of books on the last days of September.

#BFC21

1. Read from my #bookspin TBR
2. Chair yoga 3x a week
3. Tarot spread 1x a week
4. Limit sugary foods (maybe one treat per week)

A funny book…short and to the point too!

As relevant today as it was over 30 years ago.

Another October #bookspin off the list to be replaced with a free spot.

The cat comics were cute and made me smile. The rest of the book was okay but not great. The artwork wasn‘t what I expected, not good, but each artist has her own style.

This will come off my next month #bookspin and be replaced with a free space.

#bookspin #bookspinbingo #octoberTBR

I haven‘t been prepared these past couple of months for #bookspin. I decided to make my list a few days early for October. If I‘m able to finish any of these books in September then I‘ll just add a free spot for something scary.
