That time of year again when I get the joy of rereading and teaching these books in my Principles if Ecology and Virology courses! Also you can see where my Gus tried to enjoy the Polio book by eating it. 😂😂

Today book sale at my local library was a bit overwhelming because I only had $10 cash. Too many choices!!😂😂

I hope this happens! Loved this book! https://bookriot.com/2019/09/20/the-seven-husbands-of-evelyn-hugo-coming-to-tele...

Finally starting this one! Going to take my time and savor it.

I finished my reread of this in prep for Dark Age. I enjoyed itmore the second time around. I was able to give up all my preconceived notions of what this book should be and what should happen. That allowed me to be more immersed and enjoy it more. 5 ⭐️ Now on to Dark Age. No doubt it will be a rough one.

I had a great week! Headaches have dissipated! I met all my goals! Super thrilled!

Rewarding myself with little Met baseball and some 🧶! #bfcr3

I am about to start the tagged book. I love a book with a map and this is a very beautiful one.

Loved this book! It is the first book this year that I have truly loved and I am sad to see end. Evelyn is charming, loving, devious and ruthless. I did not see the end coming, but I should have. I was so absorbed in Evelyn. Really great!

#bfcr3. Beautiful 4 mile audio walk this morning.

I did just ok for this week of #bfcr3. My semester started and I was back to teach. I also wasn‘t feeling well. So, I did not meet all my goals but did ok. I am spending the weekend on a little self love.

My happy place! Last of #summerreading

Started this one tonight. Wasn‘t into it before I started but so far so good!

This a little predictable but cut. I liked that it focused on a brother sister relationship and not romance.

#bfcr3 I am sorry for the late posted. This week our my husband‘s grandfather passed away. So I did not meet my goals. I will be modifying my goals for next week as we attend the funeral. Although this has been a tough week, I feel I did ok with my goals.

I enjoyed this! I did not like it as much as this first in the series, but it was cute. If you are looking for an easy, fluffy, very sexy, everything will be good in the end romance, this one is for you. I do like the diversity and feminism is Guillory‘s novels. It is refreshing!

Beautiful night for an audio walk! #bfcr3

Spending the morning with some tea and Tinkerbell trying to get some writing done. Looking forward to some fun reading this afternoon!

#bfcr3 I had a good week!

I even competed a book and close to competing the one in the pic! Spending the rest of today relaxing!

A book, an adult beverage and a little Mets Baseball. A good start to the weekend!

I enjoyed this one more than the second one but not as much as the first. I do think it is worth read the whole series. Fun, light, and intro into a world most of us will never experience!

So Aug 9th is book lovers day! So happy happy everyone!!

Gus and I are doing a little audio knitting this beautiful afternoon. 🧶 #summer

#bfcr3 yay! I am looking forward to Round 3 and working with my team! 🥋 🏃‍♀️ 💪

I finished this one a couple of days ago. This travelogue of Britain is 25 years old. There were parts I really loved and laughed out loud. However, most of it is just recounting is what he likes or hates about certain towns. My big gripe is that this was a travelogue and the map of his travels was insufficient. The book as a whole could have been better. But I am sure I will read the sequel at some point.

Well I feel I ended the last week of #bfcr2 strong. I like many had to reassess my goals weekly and that worked really well for me. I met all my goals this week. Overall, I read 7/6 books, And I met all my fitness goals except for 1 week. Thanks to my awesome team and @wanderinglynn for a great 6 weeks. A big thank you to the amazing, sweet and super supportive @Mitch you are a true leader!

Today could not be more perfect. Slight breeze off Lake George, beautiful scenery, my book, and no where to be. #summerreading

Enjoying some camping and reading with the hubby. The quiet is excellent! #summerreading

#BFC #bfcr2 #bookfitnesschallange @wanderinglynn ask this week that we post our favorite workout or workout equipment. Here is mine. My 🥋 blackbelt!

This week though stressful was great! I hit all my goals and finish my book goal. I am 6/6! Last I celebrated with my mom and daughter by seeing a musical and drinking wine from a sippy cup!! 😂😂 #bfc #bfcr2 #bookfitnesschallenge

Take 2, reading on the deck. My awesome parents just left with my kids for the next week. So, I have so quiet time to ready on my deck this morning! My kids get spoiled by their grandparents and I get a week with the hubby! My parents rock!

The reason I am getting no reading done! He is lucky he is so cute! Gus the pug too!

Trying to get a little reading done but my son wants to talk my ear off. So we are talking and I will read when he is done talking. #kidtime

I loved this book. I would call it the quintessential American western. It really is an epic. It follows two ex-Texas rangers from the a small town on the Rio Grande (Lonesome Dove) driving cattle to settle Montana, Gus and Call. I found the few female characters the most compelling. However, I really felt is was a love story between two life long friends and what they would do for each other. Great read!

I was excited for this one because I loved Crazy Rich Asians, but I was disappointed with it. Although I still loved the description of the Uber rich in Asia, I was unhappy with the change in the character of Rachel. She seemed like she was so taken with the rich life style of her family and their friends. I know this book isn‘t really about Rachel, but I feel it was a stretch to keep the story going.

#BFF #bfcr2 #bookfitnesschallenge so this week was a tough week. We have had some family stuff going on that will continue possibly. That did interfere with my goals. I got my walking, karate and reading in. Not the yoga. I am not being hard on myself. We are experiencing a massive heat wave and family must come first. My goals for next week are karate, my steps and finish the book above! Thanks to my group for all the support!

Doing a little #audiocooking today. Making a lot of www.skinnyishdishrecipes First up Philly cheesesteak stuffed peppers. #mealprep

Science camp at the library=1 hour of quiet reading for me!! 🧫 🧬 🧪 📚

My 10 yo daughter and I finished our buddy read of this book. I thought it was very cute and great for anyone 8-13 yo. Allie goes to coding camp and develops an app that helps people make friends. When she returns to school, she releases it to her school mates. Then something goes wrong with the app, and Allie needs to fix it and make some decisions.

Started this one on my audio walk. #bfc #bfcr2 #bookfitnesschallenge #audiowalk

@Mitch my #BFC #bfcr2 leader posted a selfie and gor out of her comfort zone. With a near 11 yo i am not sure I am allowed to hate selfies but I do. We need to see beauty in the flaws! @phatsallylee @Blaire @Itchyfeetreader @Chrissyreadit @sudi @ErinSueGreads #selfie

While my little man is at science camp, my daughter and I are spending a little time reading at the library. She is thrilled to have her pic taken! #summerreading

This was cute. Fluff but fun. If you need a nice easy fun read, this is it!

This evenings audio walk! Beautiful! #bfc #bfcr2 #bookfitnesschallenge #audiowalk

After a long drive back from OCMD, we are back at the Jersey Shore. There was a beautiful breeze and I decided to get a run in. #bcf #bcfr2 #bookfitnesschallenge

To read or watch Deathly Hallows? At little of both. Reading through the commercials. 😂

I met my goals this week for #bfcr2 #bfc #bookfitnesschallenge . It was a crazy week with 5 days of dance competition with my daughter and trying to fit in fun with family at the beach while we are in OCMD. Thanks for the support for my group! Good week. @wanderinglynn @Mitch
