Starting on my #BookStitchAlong for 2021. I saw this idea on Instagram and thought it was awesome but now I'm second guessing myself.
I still have four more books to stitch that I've finished this year and I am so not great at drawing or stitching.
How in the world do you make a gargoyle??

Finished this wonderful book last night. Wow, what's a tear-jerker! Kristin Hannah always managers to tug at my heart strings. This one was no different. Excellent read!

#NewYearNewYou Day 2 for #JumpIntoJanuary I've set a goal to not only read every day but to also get at least 10K steps. I've done so well in the past but really slacked off with COVID happening. Here's to progress!

Eggs Great goal 👏🏻👏🏻 3y

Not quite as many books as I'd hoped for but I'm still happy with the numbers. I was in a slump towards the end of the year. Here's to hoping 2021 is better.

"Wanting can be done sitting on the couch with a bong in your hand and a travel magazine in your lap.

Deciding means jumping in all the way, doing whatever it takes, and going after your dreams with the tenacity of a dateless cheerleader a week before prom night."

Re-reading this gem as I prepare for 2021.

Looking back through one of my old bullet journal this morning and discovered these quotes I had written down from June 2018.
So insightful. These are just some of the words that made me fall in love with Fahrenheit 451.

The Storyteller | Jodi Picoult
post image

It's been a long while since I've posted on her but this book motivated me to restart. Her books never disappoint but this one really had me contemplating the things that happened during the war. We read about history but don't always get the thoughts on those who suffered on both sides, both then and in the future.
I got so many good quotes from this one!

Ugly Love: A Novel | Colleen Hoover

"I want him to do that again more than I want Thanksgiving dinner, but I don't tell him that."

Getting a little reading in before work this morning. This is my 3rd book of Colleen Hoover's and I believe she may be one of my new favorite writers. Being pulled into the story and feeling the anticipation the characters feel...that's good stuff!

This right here folks, is a thing of beauty. I went from one bookcase that was overflowing and two big stacks of books on the floor to this wonderful sight. A big thanks to my wonderful fella for helping me get the bookcases up here.
Although there isn't much room to add, I now have everything on display AND it's in alphabetical order by author.
I'm nerding out right now!!!

This wanderlust heart is made to travel. Pretty much everywhere I go I get so caught up in the culture or scenery that I'm never ready to come home. One of my favorites, though, was visiting the Alps in Germany. We were able to visit the Neuschwanstein Castle, took a cable car to the top of the Alps, and saw some cathedrals. There is so much history and culture there that I don't think I can ever see it all. #7DAYSGIVEAWAY

Tuesdays with Morrie | Mitch Albom

I took part in a book exchange on FB a couple weeks back. Today, on this lazy Saturday, I'm finally getting started on the first book I received in the mail. Many friends have told me to keep the tissues handy.

I may not have made it the full 24 hours but this is definitely the most I've read in a weekend. I was able to read 3 1/2 books, 2 of which were over 400 pages 😊 I'm going to try this challenge again soon, even if for my own personal satisfaction.

I try to keep my nightstand pretty clear. My inner OCD prefers it this way 😉 I did do a stack for the #24in48 readathon, though. There are several longs novels here so I'm hoping to get through a couple at least over the remaining 18 hours.

Time to break out the Kindle and get started on my #24in48. I love having this and being able to read in bed without disturbing anyone with lights 😊

RadicalReader @Sumtime77 you couldn‘t have picked a better novel! I have throughly enjoyed this novel and checked out another of his that hopefully will be just as gripping 6y
Sumtime77 @RadicalReader It was really good. I need to check out some more of his stuff. 6y

I love having my Fridays off in the summer 😍 I got a chance to check out a coffee shop in a nearby town and get started on a book I've had for a few months now. Now, if only the used bookstore would open soon, my day would be complete.

After finishing The Sirens of Titan, my son, Noah, convinced me to read this one also by Vonnegut. I feel like it's something I should have read in high school and perhaps I did check out the Cliff Notes at some point. I'm sure it's on a list of must read books somewhere. The witty humor and sadness even in the first few chapters is definitely intriguing.

CarolynM Welcome to Litsy🌼 6y
kristincatastrophic Welcome to Litsy! I read this recently too, after my dad insisted and I realized it was something I should have read. I loved it, can't believe it took me so many years to finally read it. 6y
Sumtime77 @kristincatastrophic I'm finding this is the case with most classics here lately. I detested "having" to read them in school but am not finding that I actually like them. 6y
