Day off goals-finish a few from my Friday #libraryhaul

Survived the flu- celebrated by buying some books. 😝 #bookhaul

It‘s been a tough few days- my Grandma Sally passed away last Thursday. She was the person who taught me how to read, took me to countless story hours, and helped me get my first library card. She always had a book recommendation for me, and she was usually spot on. She didn‘t usually write in the books she gave me, but I‘m so happy she broke tradition for the book photographed, Harry Potter & the Sorcerers Stone.

Starting this one- it‘s been on my list for a while, but I‘ve been putting it off since I hated The Other Einstein. Here‘s hoping I enjoy this one! #libby #currentread

1. The physical copy of Radiant Shimmering Light by Sarah Selecky and No One is Coming to Save Us by Stephenie Powell Watts on audiobook

2. Tea

3. I‘m drinking some Ceylon tea right now!

I stopped by my hometown library after work yesterday, and my local library today. I feel like it was a successful outing at both 😝 #bookhaul

My #readersgonnaread package is on its way to @collegecatlady !! Now, it‘s time to hit up the library before I go home 😝

I spend two hours commuting to and from work- so I‘ve been listening to a ton of audiobooks. Right now, I‘m loving this one! #currentlylistening #audiobook

The New York Times reviewed on of my favorite novels from 2018! I listened to this on audiobook while driving to and from work- It. Was. Fabulous. I may have sat in the parking lot and snuck an extra five minutes or so 😝 #audiobook #scribd

Post-gym success. 11 chapters of a fabulous book, and I didn‘t go low! #audiobook

1. I‘m keeping it simple this year!
2. Collards and black-eyed peas!
3. Eh- Superman?
4. September
5. 👍🙌

Trying to get my blood sugar up before I head into the gym- it‘s giving me an excuse to listen more. I know there‘s a controversy about just how true the book is, but I‘ve been enjoying it (as much as one can enjoy a book on this subject). #audiobooks

New Years #bookishresolution- buy more books from indies. So, no more #BOTM and more getting on first name basis with the employees at the local bookstores 😝

Semester break is over tomorrow. I don‘t want to go to work 😫 I‘ve got to stay late for nighttime registration- hopefully I can sneak a few chapters in 😝 #currentread

It was a busy year- I didn‘t get to my goal number, but I had fun trying! #yearinreview #2018books

It was a low-key Christmas this year. My big “gift” was getting insurance approval and receiving a DexcomG6 so that took precedence over books, for once. 😝 Either way- I‘m super excited about my mini #bookhaul and can‘t wait to read all three!

My mom asked me to handle the gifts for my 8 year old cousin since we always give her a book as part of her gift. This year she‘s getting Matilda from me and the hubs and the first #BabysittersClub from my parents. I‘m glad she‘s finally old enough for some of my #childhoodfavs. #christmasgifts

I was so excited about the #BOTM selections for November, I helped myself to 3 😝

Thank you so much @Pamwurtzler !! @Pamwurtzler can‘t wait to test out the recipes you sent and some of the ones from the cookbooks! I ♥️ Penzeys so this will be quickly used!

@Pamwurtzler I picked this up from my parents today! I can‘t wait to open it when I get home today! #feedareader

@Pamwurtzler I picked this up from my parents today! I can‘t wait to open it when I get home today! #feedareader

1. My mom, rocking her white hair, made the local news- if only in the background 😝
2. The Avett Brothers in Myrtle Beach!
3. I‘m a nail biter- I know it‘s gross, but I can‘t help it.

5. Tagged!

Flood waters down- clean up begins. My hometown, Whiteville, has been devastated. I‘ve never seen it flood this bad. Thanks #Littens for all your thoughts and well wishes during Flo. My husband‘s Granny has power so we‘re camped out with her until the routes to Wilmington reopen. In the meantime, we‘re helping Granny clean her store downtown. Hope everyone else in the path of Flo fared well!

1. I‘ve got two volumes of Sherlock Holmes stories sitting on my bookshelf that I keep telling myself I‘ll get to at some point!
2. The Color Purple
3. Just English ☹️
4. My mom thought tv would rot my brain so I was only allowed to watch PBS- Arthur and Wishbone were my jam 😝

My last two reads were excellent, but depressing- hoping this one will be pretty mindless. #currentlyreading

Y‘all the rain is never ending. We got a text from Duke Energy that they‘re starting to restore power in Wilmington. Not that it matters because most of the roads are flooded so we can‘t get home. Bright side- my in-laws house didn‘t get damaged, I‘ve got a ton of books to read, and the generator has plenty of fuel. Hope the rest of the #littens in Flo‘s path are doing okay!

Book 4 of Florence - a little political memoir and a lot of nostalgia. #currentlyreading #podsaveamerica

1. Sense & Sensibility- the Emma Thompson version. I could (and probably have) watch it on repeat.
2. The first time I went to DC with my college roommate to watch a bowl game. We lost, but had so much fun exploring on our own!
3. I love those gossipy political memoirs.
4. Emerald green
4. Favorite pair of shoes?

#friyayintro

I‘m hoping I enjoy this one as much as I did the first one! #currentlyreading #ya

I managed to get to the library before they closed, and I‘ve maxed out my loans on #Libby. We‘ve evacuated to the in-laws, charged the battery packs, and bought extra batteries for my “reading” lantern.

Hope all the other #littens in Eastern North Carolina and the path of Florence stay safe!

#hurricaneprep #bookhaul

1. Midway through yesterday‘s hurricane prep at work
2. A lovely dinner out. Cooking for other people makes me so nervous!
3. A ton of reading since it looks like Flo will be hovering all weekend 🙄 Maybe I‘ll finally get cause up on my reading list!
4. Ahhh- don‘t make me choose!
5. Football and sweater weather!

#friyayintro @jesshowbooks

Thank you so much @Shadowfat !!! I can‘t wait to try out the recipes and get reading! I‘ve never read anything by Leigh Bardugo- but she‘s been on my list forever!! #feedareader @MinDea

Getting in a little more reading before heading home tonight. #BOTM #summerread

I haven‘t checked my personal email at all this week because work has been a beast- I found this buried in my inbox! I totes forgot I had preordered it!! #surprisebook #guiltypleasure

I read Hello, Sunshine in one sitting last night- so I thought I‘d give this a try today #currentlyreading

I‘ve been so busy with work lately (that I haven‘t been posting or reading much), but that hasn‘t stopped me for buying books. Last week‘s #BookOutlet order just arrived!! #bookhaul

I‘ve taken a weekend break from reading. Something I only do for very special occasions- this one is the Avett Brothers three-night stint in Myrtle Beach. Only 40 minutes from home- I can‘t miss it!! Who am I kidding, I listened to an #audiobook on the way down there this afternoon 😝

1. My favorite office decoration 😝 #gopirates
2. Key lime anything!
3. A pendant necklace my grandparents gave me ❤️
4. Business attire with the rare jeans day
5. Yes! The early bird gets the quicker return😝

#humpdaypost
@MinDea

1. Literally anything!
2. Cart/beer girl at my hometown country club
3. Dual enrollment advising and recruitment for a community college
4. I love my job! Maybe the same thing at a larger college...with more pay 😝
5. Tea!

@JoScho

Today‘s #bookhaul from the New Hanover County spring sale. I couldn‘t convince anyone to go with me so I was forced to limit myself to one bag😝

My mom‘s cat wanted to go to the #booksale today. Sorry Horace, I don‘t think they‘d let you in the building. #catsoflitsy

I ❤️ #bookmail! Yesterday brought (finally) my #botm box plus a surprise from @Craftylikefox !! Hopefully I can put the bookmark to some use today between loads of laundry 😐😝

So I forgot to write #feedareader on my package- but keep an eye out @MadsInWonderland !! It should be in your mailbox on Thursday!

I‘ve been in bed since Sunday with a killer cold, and today is the first day I‘m feeling like a human again. Lucky me that my #feedareader package arrived today with some awesome goodies and an amazing looking recipe! I can‘t thank you enough @Ingerella ! As soon as I get my taste back, I‘m going to try it!

A little #audioknitting to wrap up Monday. I‘m loving this book so far!! #currentlylistening #audiobook #knittersoflitsy

I tried to wait until after work, but I got impatient at lunch. Thank you so much @aroc !!! I love everything,and I can‘t wait to make a cup of tea tonight!!
