The second book in the Litenverse did not disappoint! Funny, adventurous, and uplifting.

I had a local shopping day with my mama and got a new oracle deck. I thought it would be fun to do a #haikutarotreading.

Deck is the Tree Keepers Oracle. Written by Angi Sullins, artwork by Stephanie Law.

It's always a delight to witness the neighborhood children at play. Watching them run home at dusk last night was a lovely reminder of my own childhood. 💓🥰💓

I audio-ed this one on my drive to and from MN this weekend. I just love spending time with Vera.

We do not care for your unsolicited advice, thank you. (And yes, it was from a cis-het white man.)

I'm still missing my friends after a weekend of fun. It's always hard to say good-bye, but there is always another visit to look forward to!

Juices are flowin',
Checking off boxes - Gimme
all the dopamine!

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday each felt like a whole week just by themselves. It's been rough. But today, I'm getting so much done! It feels great to be checking things off my lists today. I needed a good day. 💓

This was harder than I thought! I ended up picking three faves from high school. I still listen to all 3! 🤩🤩🤩

What a fun, wacky, adventurous read! I really enjoyed this, and I am looking forward to reading the sequel.

Just leave me in peace with my lady meals, please. 🤣🤣🤣 We're returning to childhood rules: Fed is best.

Watching this with MisterInBlue tonight. I watched this obsessively when it came out. I was 12. It's not a surprise I turned out the way I did. 😅

The haiku is comprised of lines from different songs in the movie.

Johan was not pleased that I spent yesterday evening finishing this book instead of focusing all of my attention on him. 😹

Soft pick. The world building was overly complex, and the pacing was inconsistent. However, I was invested in the characters, and the end did satisfy some of my doubts. I'd be willing to give the next book a chance.

I read this purely for fun and escape.

Sometimes I listen to music that reflects my mood, and sometimes I listen to music to try to change my mood. I've been feeling anxious, so I've been finding comfort in this playlist I made for MisterInBlue last year when my health started turning around. I guess it's not surprising that songs that remind me of my safe person make me feel safe. 🩵🩵🩵

I don't like to bring my phone outside with me when I'm having my morning porch time, so I had to use another web pic. But I watched the sun rise this morning as a thunderstorm rolled in from behind me. It was awe inspiring.

A much needed #palettecleanser. This is my new soap opera.

The library goddesses have it in for me. Just as I started reading Animal Farm & 1984 for #withthebanned, my hold for Parable of the Sower came in after 4-ish months. I've finished all 3 last week, but I haven't had the mental capacity to post a review. After several days, this is still all I can come up with:

I recommend all three, but not at the same time. 🫠

I didn't get to snap a pic, so the picture is from the web.
