This made my morning 😂 #LitsyHumor

Finished this one today. Interesting outside looking in snapshot of one corner of Kahlo‘s life. #JoyousJanuary #NonfictionNerds #BookSpinBingo

Just call me a snow monster. This is the first Bailey School Kids Jr. chapter book I have read. I will need to find more. #JoyousJanuary #BookSpinBingo

First #BookSpinBingo! #JoyousJanuary I love Mike Venezia illustrations. They remind me of our classroom books from when I was a kid. May need to listen to West Side Story later 💃🏽

*stares at laundry pile*

If only I played piano. 😅 #JoyousJanuary #WeekendReading

It just occurred to me that I started reading all these Arthur books after finishing Here‘s To Us which has a main character named Arthur. Total coincidence right 😄 #JoyousJanuary #BookSpinBingo #WeekendReading

Finished a pair of Arthur books about pen pals. I can‘t remember how I came across them but they were in my most recent library haul 😅 #JoyousJanuary #WeekendReading #LitsyLove #BookSpinBingo

High hopes for this readathon especially with the 3 day weekend ahead ❄️⛄️ #JoyousJanuary #WeekendReading

If you are a reader of Dana‘s first two books you are going to recognize her core principles reappear in this one. What I like about this book though is that it takes her concepts and breaks them down with specific examples in the form of the 100 strategies. She is down to earth and her writing is very approachable. I like listening to her audiobooks as I clean and even did so with this one. #BookSpinBingo

*nervously glances at pineapple and checked decorated everything* 😅 #NewYearWhoDis

You know you are off to a great start when this is the #epigraph #NewYearWhoDis

As I was switching out my water cooler bottle today I realized I never posted my #BFC2022 goals. I really was not up for measuring out every ounce in January so I just wanted to finish the 5 gallon bottle from the photo plus one. Halfway there already! Also I want to average 33 Fitbit active zone minutes per day and read 12 books for the month.

Omg I‘m dying 💀 Dana responded to my IG story 🤣 Expectation vs Reality 💯

Here‘s one organizing strategy I think we can all handle 😜

Finished another one for the LPBD series. Just ahead of MLK day. This one was a lot more sanitized than I was expecting even for a picture book though. #BookSpinBingo

Also random sidebar but I feel like Mavis and Johnny are the perfect counterparts to Dylan and Samantha. I always picture them in my head reading these books 😆

Loved this ending for Ben and Arthur ❤️ complete with musical theater references and puns like bi awakening or queer Evan Hansen 😂 I really wanted to post this quote but I‘m listening on audible and didn‘t want to get the punctuation wrong. So here‘s a TikTok I made with the clip. I need this made into a shirt 😂 https://bit.ly/335duFr #BookSpinBingo

“August buys out a whole shelf of strawberry milkshake Pop-Tarts at Target, and they spend the rest of the day dancing around their bedroom in their underwear, shoving pink frosting and sprinkles into their mouths and spreading sugary kisses everywhere.”

#foodspiration #NewYearWhoDis

Another case of food mentions sticking with me. Tried these for the first time tonight. 😋 🍓 🍨

Haven‘t been very active this past week but I got this nice #LitsyLove surprise from @TheAromaofBooks the other day. I had just cancelled my library hold because there was still a 2 week wait on it. Thank you!

Finished this one earlier this week. First #NewYearWhoDis book is in the bag. It‘s sapphic Kate and Leopold. I really loved this story but it would be cool to read more about the other characters in this book‘s universe too. I actually had a call today at work come in and it was a lady on the subway so of course I was reminded to do this review 😅 #BookSpinBingo

Late reporting because I‘ve been slammed at work this week. Unintentionally got 2021 for my total 😂 probably wouldn‘t have even broke 20 except I kept losing my place on my audiobook and relistening to large portions. I enjoyed it though 🤪#NewYearsSpecial #20in4

Came across this one when I was looking for the David Bowie Little People Big Dreams book. Shout out to @ozma.of.oz if you haven‘t seen this one. Very cute book. #BookSpinBingo #20in4 Found 2 words for #TreasureHunt

Texans summoning their heaters today

Got a small head start on my #BookSpinBingo board.

Not a bad lunch. Also used Crystal hot sauce which is mentioned earlier in the book. 😋 #NewYearWhoDis #Foodspiration #20in4

#BookSpin and #DoubleSpin picks for January have been chosen!! Especially looking forward to finishing my double spin pick.

Coming in kind of weak for our final week, but I have had fun hanging with #TeamGameSleighers for #WinterGames2021 ❄️

brb changing my bio to “giant, stammering, bisexual chameleon” 🤣🧣 #NewYearWhoDis #20in4

Last book for #WinterGames finished yesterday. Read by Stanley Tucci which was a bonus. I remember reading Double Indemnity by the same author last year when the freeze started up in Texas. Is it a coincidence that I finish this one and we are about to have freezing weather the next few days 🤔 #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleigher 49 words for #WGWordSearch 137 words for #TreasureHunt #20in4

Just now posting yesterday‘s reads. I listened to the Meryl Streep audio, but there is also one read by John Lithgow I will have to listen to sometime. #WinterGames #TeamGameSleighers #20in4 Just one lonely word for #WGWordSearch 😅 6 words for #TreasureHunt

January #BookSpin 1-3, 5-6 are my #NewYearWhoDis picks

I don‘t know how I missed that there was a Zoey‘s Extraordinary Christmas special but I just heard about it today so I am watching it and getting in some last minute points for #TeamGameSleighers #WinterGames

So hard to narrow down but here are 12 of my favorites from 2021. It‘s worth noting that 10 of these are audiobooks. And while I do love them, this year I am going to try to prioritize my print and kindle portion of my TBR. I don‘t allow myself to just be still and sit with a book too often and I‘d like to change that.

Last read of 2021, kinda. Ended up bailing at 55% because this Santa is a real douche. I liked the premise of a snarky Santa replying to letters from kids. This one started off funny but as you go you realize this Santa is downright cruel and needs to chill out. But this DNF got me a bingo at least so there‘s that. 😅 #BookSpinBingo #WinterGames #TeamGameSleighers #WrapItUpReadathon #20in4 219 words for #WGWordSearch 257 words for #TreasureHunt

I have a stack of overdue #LitsyLove mail going out today. It‘s still the holiday season till Groundhog Day right? 😅

Way to muck it up Amanda 😝 #WinterGames #TeamGameSleighers

Week 4 Points for #TeamGameSleighers #WinterGames

Last holiday movie of the night and I made the cranberry fluff recipe I shared in a previous post. Also made some gluten free molasses cookies for @hollyvoncount In progress in the photo but they actually turned out good which if you have ever dabbled in gf baking is a feat on the first try 😂 #WinterGames #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

Watching one of my all time favorites during “The Holiday” season for once 😅 #WinterGames #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

Watching some holiday movies with the family. First up is White Christmas #WinterGames #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

Merry Christmas! This one is for the littens living with velociraptors 🎁 🗑

Finished a #BookSpin from September! I started this one on Kindle and ultimately finished on audio because multitasking. But this is one I would definitely revisit and wouldn‘t mind owning a physical copy. I am a sucker for books about books even though it means expanding my TBR *insert I‘ll make it fit gif from Cinderella* #BookSpinBingo #Adventathon #WrapItUpReadathon #WinterGames #TeamGameSleighers 203 words for #WGWordSearch #WinterGames2021

I was so excited to see this book in my #jolabokaflodswap box! When I opened it I landed on the page called Anxiety Tax and I resonate with that so much. It was too much text to paste but it‘s worth zooming in. Also I love these chocolates! I actually have a Lindt mug and it‘s one of my favorites. Thank you so much @Branwen and Happy Reading!

#HolidayLaughs Hope everyone is having a #CreepyChristmas Eve 😈🎅🏻 #WinterGames #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

Ok one last Christmas Peppa book 😂 #WinterGames #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers #Adventathon #WrapItUpReadathon #BookSpinBingo 26 words for #WGWordSearch 🐽🎄

Finally went through my #NewYearWhoDis list and narrowed it down a bit. Really looking forward to these @Zuhkeeyah 🥳

A reread for me, but never reviewed on Litsy. I can‘t believe I never noticed the date of the Taco Party was 11/23 which just so happened to fall on a Tuesday this year. What a missed opportunity 😂 🌮 #WinterGames #TeamGameSleighers #WinterGames2021 #Adventathon #WrapItUpReadathon #BookSpinBingo
