On my, @Bookwormjillk ! I love everything! How did you know of my love of colorful pens? Perfect for all my book journaling and recording. The stickers are so cute, and of course the book!! Thank you so much. Happy #sliceofsummerswap !

And thank you to @Catsandbooks for a wonderful swap!

Great summery reading month. Loved everything but my two favorites are in the middle. #JuneWrapUp #JuneStats

The best laid plans were thrown off by whim and library holds! Used a lot of FREE spaces this month. I did read my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin. Came so close to a bingo. #BookSpinBingo

A new month! So much to read! #BookSpinBingo

I had to “add on” I have no self control! 🤪😂 #BOTM

It‘s here! @Jerdencon #StaycationinTime Swap

It came! @Bookwormjillk #SliceofSummerSwap

Heading to the Post Office tomorrow to mail #SpookySummerSwap @KatieDid927 and #StaycationintimeSwap @Jerdencon AND I remembered to take a picture😂

#BloomsburyDay

Morning reading on the deck #summertimevibes

I love a book about a small town and the quirky characters. This was just lovely. I want to cast Zendaya and Tom Holland as the main characters in the movie version! 😍Thank you to @peanutnine who sent this to me in a swap!

🌸/ 🏝⛴🦀💔🎤. Haha! I stink at emoji descriptions.
🪷/ I would love a sequel to Lessons in Chemistry
🪺/ 4.5 for tagged book

1. I think so. Hollywood stars, Caribbean island.
2. The cover is the main reason I picked up this one! It was perfect summer reading. Light, frothy, over dramatic, fun!

As usual I forgot to take a picture but #SliceofSummerSwap is in the mail. On the way to @Bookwormjillk , should be there Friday.

Already working on my #BookSpin. #BookSpinBingo

I love it when I start a book on the first of the month and it turns out to be my #BookSpin! #BookSpinBingo

#MayWrapUp
Great month. Two ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ in the middle.

Woo-hoo! First time my favorite used book sale has been held since 2019. And I did some damage. Added to some series, got some favorite authors, picked up some pretty new books at a bargain! The tagged book is the only one purchased on a whim, never heard of it before. Nothing better than a big #bookhaul .

Another good month for me. 8 books, all really good! I read my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin. No bingo this month. #BookSpinBingo

Ahhhhh. First day of reading on the back deck. It‘s glorious. 😎📖💛 #summerreading

I love summer! Can‘t wait for reading on my deck, picnics, ice cream, all the summer things!

#Summeraesthetics. #sliceofsummerswap

Here we go! Ready for June. #BookSpinBingo

#thisweekinnewbooks . Two 7 day library books, one Kindle bargain, one Litsy swap (thank you @sprainedbrain ) and two presents to myself (got my first social security check, I‘m officially old and deserve a present!)

This was charming, delightful, sad, and wonderful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! #BOTM

Thank you so much Jenni @sprainedbrain ! I love the Italian theme: lasagna, Leonardo and limoncello! Can‘t wait to try the recipe and the book!

I forgot to post my board. So here it is with a little progress. ✔️ #bookspin #bookspinbingo

#BookReport. The tagged book will take me awhile. Really enjoying The Swimmers so far. Loved the Delia Ephron memoir and the Heller (#BookSpin completed). Great start to the month.

A very good month for me, quantity and quality! Top two were my favs. #AprilWrapUp

@sprainedbrain It should arrive Saturday! I forgot to take a pic! Of course. #recipeswap

I really, really liked this book. 4⭐️s. I liked The River and thought this was even better. But what‘s with the spacing? It‘s like a student double spacing to make a term paper look longer 😜. It‘s a 257 page book. Without skipping lines it probably would have been barely 200. 😆

@Hooked_on_books I came across two more, including Ward‘s other book. A definite trend. I like it.

It arrived @sprainedbrain ! And I guess we are swap partners! I will be mailing yours tomorrow. May really snuck up on me!
#recipeswap

10 books! #bookspin and #doublespin and Bingo! Big month for me. #BookSpinBingo

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Had a lovely afternoon with my son. 2 bookstores, 7 books (4 are his), 2 cheeseburgers! He even bought me a tote bag! #independentbookstoreday #minihaul #TalkingLeavesBookstore #BurningBooksBookstore

Love an outdoor, adventure-gone-wrong thriller! I did not even look at the add ons. I only have one credit left till renewal. I think my one year membership lasted 7 months! #BOTM #Bookmailisthebestmail

May #BookSpinBingo.

I really liked this book, especially the parts about music and the violin. I enjoyed the mystery (I‘ve heard some people say it was obvious who did it but I always fall for all the red herrings and suspect everybody!) I liked the main character but some of the others were rather one dimensional. The cover is exceptional.

Just started the tagged book and the cover reminded me of something. Finally thought of it, Malibu Rising!

I‘m using the Pop Sugar 2022 Reading Challenge to select backlist from my shelves. So far:
✔️A book about a secret- White Houses
✔️A book with cutlery on cover/in title - The Word is Murder
✔️A book with found family- A Gentleman in Moscow
✔️A book with tiger in title/on cover- Tigers in Red Weather

I ❤️ this story of family, friendship and grief. Waxman creates great characters and is so funny. One minor complaint: the constant blushing. Every character blushes all the time. I was blushing at all the blushing. Needed some editing there. #DoubleSpin done and dusted.

Looks like Annie B. Jones picked another good one. #ThebookshelfTville #Shelfsubscription #MountTBR

Very excited about these two, especially the tagged book. I love the other two Waxman books I‘ve read. #BookSpinBingo #BookSpin #DoubleSpin

April #BookSpinBingo.

Got a bingo and read my #BookSpin AND my #DoubleSpin. Yay! #BookSpinBingo

Starting this one. I love the cover and the #endpapers.

#MarchStats. Good month. My favorite was I‘ll Have What She‘s Having. It was hard to get through though because I had to google stuff every few pages! I‘m using prompts from the Pop Sugar Reading Challenge to read books from my shelves, so I read the tagged book for the tiger on the cover or in the title prompt.

I almost skipped this month but decided to try the historical fiction. And I really wanted this add on. #BOTM

Let‘s go April! #BookSpinBingo
