Wes turned 5 on the 2nd but last night was his birthday party with family. Glad I got to spend most of the day audio baking :)

Had a great weekend up at the cabin in MI- it was nice to be off grid and ignore the world for a bit. Finished this one out in my kindle. Holy cow was this book excellent! Completely novel concept (to me at least) and super engaging. Highly recommend.

This was fun. I love the setting and it was interesting to hear about Merry‘s old life coming to Rudolph.

Lady this package was utter perfection. I can‘t thank you enough, it was like a hug for my soul. I will absolutely do a buddy read just lmk when! @MaleficentBookDragon #ahrs #allhallowsread

Today has been the kind of day that only someone in corrections could understand 😂 Dear Lord, I am quite literally not being paid for this shit.😂

BUT! Look at this beautiful #ahrs #allhallowsread from @MaleficentBookDragon it‘s so pretty!

Impeccable timing as always my friend. Thank you @Jas16

Welp, I‘ve actually had to use the dreaded evil empire for a swap. I‘m eternally grateful that the judiciary had enough money to cover us a bit, but Monday I will go into unpaid status for who knows how long. Doing it this way saves shipping, and right now we‘re cutting where we can. So @julieclair this is how your #AllHallowsRead #AHRS2025 will arrive. I used (Litsy) as your middle name to differentiate from any normal Amazon packages coming :)

1- desperately trying to focus on reframing 😂the judiciary scraped enough together to stave off unpaid status until 10/20
2- kiddo snuggles
3-puppy snuggles
4-sugar for dopamine
5- reading rainbow is coming back

My visceral reaction was, “F*** Yes! Finally good news!” 😂❤️ Can we petition for Wishbone back too?

I just learned of this. All digital, which I appreciate. Check it out :) @TheLittensSociety #TLS #thelittenssociety put together by @AllDebooks

Just ran across this on fb. Seems as though the series is done. Wild speculation in the comments about ghost writers, death etc. Apparently the last several books have been noticeably off- grammar, plot lines etc 🤷‍♀️

Everything not downloaded to my phone has been locked in Audible. I‘m confused though bc it says you should have access if you purchased them with credits? Help?

This review I found via Google about sums it up. Overall, a very enjoyable and captivating story. But also so many of the same themes: Catholic Church bad, others good. Also didn‘t love the ending- spoiler in the comments.

Thanks for the tag @Kshakal we‘ve basically been living life at a full run since the end of August. We just got back from@up north today, and this week has 3/4 days with me in the office … boooo…. BUT I finally get a weekend mostly free of other demands.

@AmyG thank you so much for this fabulous #fallingforfallswap ! I love all of it! I waited until u had a moment to myself, Wes is going to be absolutely thrilled to have been included. Thank you!

It‘s been a minute and truthfully I‘ve been hiding😂 This world is wild man. We were on vacation Labor Day week, and staring the week before to now it feels like one horror after the next. But I resolve to spend more time reading and consuming positive content! Got this lovey and final (finally lol) #cbbc package in the mail!

Just got back from vacation in Canada where the weather and the fishing were not great 😂 Guess which of my boys was less crabby ? Lol. I did get this one in, it was fun and fast paced. Really solid read.

I saw these graphic novels at Ren Faire, so I requested them from the library.

Arrived yesterday @Avanders @Chrissyreadit

This book was so, so good. I was completely captivated. It‘s one of those books that makes your inner child sit up and say, “I knew I was right!” I‘m so bummed that the other two aren‘t on kindle or at my library.

This was cute. Pretty predictable but worthwhile.

😂😂😂love this

This was an ok novella, not super engaging.

We were running errands last weekend and came across a random book store. To my delight and surprise hubs pulled over. This Nat Geo book Wes picked out is soooo good! It sounds silly but who knew there were new dinosaur facts since I was a kid?! Mama is loving the learning.

I have no idea why this took me so long to read. I listened to the audio to get the physical book off my self 😂 The audio was great. Engaging and intriguing. I lost focus in a few parts where the text wandered a bit, but overall absolutely lovely. Here‘s to breaking out of a slump!

Who cares about a work anniversary? Other than my wedding, this is my next favorite. Litsy is the best place ❤️

Library had their sale today. Neither Wes nor my nephew are old enough for the chapter books but when it‘s .50 a book and they‘re out of print- it‘s no man left behind 😂 I grabbed the top three impulsively for me bc I didn‘t really find anything I wanted 🤣🙃 All of this plus 4 DVDs was $15

Wes was very excited.

We entered two summer reading program. Our rural library did raffle tickets and we both one prizes!

Last day to sign up! See @Avanders and/or @Chrissyreadit

My hubs has said this for years 😂still not sure how I feel about these, though they‘re mostly enjoyable.

Thank you @Kshakal for this #cbbc #coffeebeanbookclub

Last novella in the series so far. This was a really good story set while the MCs were in high school.

Great art and story. The story was well developed and leaves the door open for more adventures.

All caught up! This one was really great. It focused mostly on their friendship but on themes of friendship as well.

@Avanders thank you so much my friend for the birthday present! You know me well :) I promised Wes I‘d share the Haribo if he was good and I can‘t wait to try the coffee this am!!!

This was cute. Plus I love a kids book that uses travesty and trivial. Anyone else have work problems because of your vocabulary? My supervisor said we don‘t “write fancy” for the court. 1- breadth of violations 2- has made cautious forays into reconnecting with his faith. I was like, I‘m sorry but my brain provides the words and I don‘t think of them as “fancy” bc I‘m not trying for that😂 also pretty certain a federal district court judge 👇

Meh. Kind of cute but short.

Not stellar so far but not bad. I‘m a sucker for a Hades and Persephone story so we‘ll see.

This looks really good.

Not the tagged book. Another great installment in the series.

Forgot to post this for June. #bookbracket2025 @CSeydel

Omg I can‘t believe it took me so long to get to this one. I loved everything about it: the vibe, the art, the story. I could happily live in that world.

@AllDebooks I couldn‘t resist 😂#teamoxfordcomma

One away from caught up! I liked the piece with dad in this one, but it was missing a lot of the favorite side characters.

Somehow missed this on the list, but stumbled across it at the library. Fair.

Some insightful moments in this one too.

Read this one on lunch yesterday as my foray into graphic novels continues. I don‘t typically read WW2 bc they tend to be too sad for me. This is a GN of an actual novel and was just the right way for me to consume an important story. I didn‘t know anything about Dita and I‘m glad I read it.
