We are big fans of the Durrells in Corfu show and I downloaded for free the book it was based on... my 10 year old son is reading it on my kindle as we take the bus to head into Manhattan to see the Rockettes at Radio City. #raisingreaders #startingtheholidayseason
Final for my first readathon! Was so much fun!

Cute comic in the newspaper today!
My stats from yesterday (that‘s minutes not hours lol) - which was a bust but I did have a fun dinner out and came home too tired to read. But it‘s 5:47am today and I have no where to be so starting up my #litsypartyofone #24b4monday readathon now! #mrbook1inamillion

#friyayintro @howjessreads
These are my books that I‘m in the middle of and will be continuing on for #litsypartyofone Not sure how many hours I‘ll get on the #24b4monday readathon (I‘ll be happy with 4 or 5!) because of, you know, life and responsibilities lol.
So I‘ll mostly be having a #Litsypartyofone this weekend in honor of @MrBook milestone #mrbook1inamillion
Signed up for this yesterday but forgot to post it! Sounds like fun! @Clwojick @StayCurious #wintergames
1. I‘d love to chat with JK Rowling
2. Honestly - I just would want to know what her normal life is like and how her brain works! Lol
3. Not many actually - I hate clutter and live in an apartment and love my library and never reread books so not that many. Once I read a book I usually pass it on to someone or donate it.
@Crazeedi @TheAromaofBooks @KathyWheeler @sharread if you want to join.
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs
1. Most of all the comraderie
2. Posts about certain genres of books I don‘t like but that‘s to be expected
3. Not sure
4. Every day/every other day
5. I love the swaps, questionnaires and read alongs
6. Not sure - I kinda like it the way it is but have also noticed people leaving... not sure why. Maybe a way to put all book posts one place and the questionnaires and swaps somewhere else.

It was supposed to rain all day but turned out to be beautiful so my son is at his tennis lessons. Thankfully I had my kindle in my bag and starting this ARC I‘ve had on net galley for ages.
