It doesn't take a whole lot of mental gymnastics to make this fit today's prompt if you know that Felix enjoyed nothing better than his own #HomeCooking 😂

Very repetitive and slow, but the early medieval history was interesting.

Sometimes you just have to step out your front door to see cool shit - the epitome of a lazy adventurer 🤣🤣

I can't believe not a single Debbie Macomber book I own has a cozy #Fireside cover! So this will have to do 😂

The writing was a little too stream of consciousness for me, but the breadth of history was fascinating.

I'm about 75% done with my #BookSpin but it's not a good curl up on the coach story for Friday night reading. So I figured I'd start November's #DoubleSpin

I started a new exercise routine that has helped stop the ache in my knees. And as much as I hate exercising, I do like mobility so I've stuck with it 😊

My abundance of gratitude tattoo serves as a daily reminder to be #Grateful because time is finite. The quote is from the tagged book.

I don't know how I feel about this. I was interested, touched, horrified, bored. It was too much war story for me, but I learned a lot. Overall, I liked the two MCs too much to DNF. Also, it gave me a whole new perspective on the cartoon Stop That Pigeon 😂

Going for a third bingo this month. If I don't make it at least I'll start November with one 😁

After a bit of a slow I had a hard time putting this down. Adoption has some shady ass roots thanks to Georgia Tann. Both a heartbreaking and heartwarming story.

I enjoyed the history of Cuba, and having to sneak books out, but there was just too much going on. Triple timelines feel overkill.

Went to a book fair today at a local brewery. Such fun!


It was nice to hear Andy talk about his family instead of all the gossip and partying in his other two diaries.
