Thank you so much @Pageturner1 for the sweet book and gift card! This was so unexpected but so thoughtful and appreciated ❤️ and it‘s ironic because we settled on naming baby girl Scarlett 🥰 - I also keep meaning to send an email— I haven‘t gotten a box since… November I think? Did your #cbbc book get returned to you? @Mommamanzi

If the book was a lot like the end of it.. I think I would have liked it more. This was just okay for me. It wasn‘t the worst but I also wasnt picking it up every chance I got to devour it. I am glad it stopped at two and was happy with the ending.

Overall I really enjoyed this book. I don‘t know if I was wild about the love story between Cas and Anna but I did love all the characters. And I‘m always a sucker for supernatural stories.

On to the sequel!

I can‘t believe it‘s been over a year since I posted. I shouldn‘t be surprised though. I swear having a baby, I feel, has accelerated time.

I‘ve decided to really focus on working through my unread pile of books and this was the first one I picked up. It was a quick, easy, and delightful read. Something I honestly needed with how bad my reading rut has been.

@Kshakal how fitting is this mug. Thank you so so much for my gifts!!! I added sleeping baby to the picture for added effect. @BethM your #coffeebeanbookub package was sent today!

I‘m convinced I was even born late because im never on time for anything. Sorry @BethM im running behind but #cbbc package has been shipped.

Landon was born on 3.25.. at 6 lbs 7 ounces and my life will never be the same. I‘ve never felt such an overwhelming feeling of love that has utterly consumed me. Post partum has also def hit me hard- but the lack of sleep and difficulties with breast feeding hasn‘t helped that. But through all of it— I‘d do it all over again for my sweet boy. Thank you to @BethM for checking on me ❤️ I love my Litsy community

(Post 2 of 2) I started a new position this week and my goal this time around is to just focus on separating work/home life and when I‘m off work I‘m off work. I don‘t think I mentioned on here— we are currently expecting our first child in April and I know I don‘t know everything about parenting the one thing I do know is I want him to have a love for reading. So my goal of 2022 is to get back to it. Hopefully y‘all will see more of me this year.

(Post 1 of 2) I feel like I hold the Guinness book of world records for longest reading slump 🥴🥴🥴 these past two-three years have been rough with my consistency for reading. The last 5 months especially have been hard. I log off of work and just kinda stare numbly at the tv because I was so mentally exhausted from work.

I‘m late posting this because we were out of town for the holidays and when we came home Sunday there were a bajillion packages waiting for us 🥴🥴 and pregnancy brain is in full swing because I completely forgot to even look at who sent me my #jolabokaflod gift before I threw away the packaging 😩😩😩 I‘m so so sorry but THANK YOU THANK YOU for my gifts. @MaleficentBookDragon are you able to tag who had me if it‘s not too much trouble?

Sorry I‘m a day late but @MaleficentBookDragon my #jolabokaflodswap is on its way to it‘s destination with an ETA of Tuesday the 14th

Look at me— about to sit down and read a book and all— it‘s been too long

It‘s the most wonderful time of the yeeeaaaaaaaarrr

Y‘all Jenn McKinlay has me hooked line and sinker with everything she writes. On to the next!

I hope your Sunday morning is filled with books, coffee and only the sound of birds chirping ❤️❤️❤️

Y‘all I am on a serious killer cozy mystery binge session and im not even mad about it.

Fourth one done. I haven‘t read through books these quickly in I couldn‘t tell you how long. Another one I enjoyed and this time I didn‘t even know who the killer was until It was revealed. Im@sad there is only one left but can‘t wait to start it.

My little reading oasis 🏝🏖📚

Perhaps this will be the summer of cozy mysteries for me but the third book in this series is completed and I honestly have no idea what it is but I love this series. Maybe I love it because it‘s helping me to pull me out of this massive reading drought that I have found myself in in the past two years but I also love the friendship aspect in this series and the relationship between Maggie and Sam. Either way I‘m here for it. Onto book4!

@MommyOfTwo I got my package! I‘m excited to try the coffee!!! Thank you so much! #cbbc #coffeebeanbookclub @Mommamanzi

@Chrissyreadit it‘s on its way to you! #cbbc #coffeebeanbookclub @Mommamanzi

I DEVOURED the first in this series. I honestly love loved the relationship between Sam and Maggie abs I didn‘t even care that the killer was extremely obvious in this story haha. I already when ahead and checked out two more of the books to read and dicing into them this weekend. NO ONE BOTHER ME IM READING 🤣😂

My little oasis ❤️🏝📚

Trying to figure out where my 5 days off went 😭😭😭 back to reality tomorrow

To say my reading rutt continues is an understatement but I‘m working hard on MAKING MYSELF carve out time to sit down and read.

Sometimes what a girl needs to brace herself for another work week is the three b‘s: a beer, a book, and her bulldog.

@Chrissyreadit your #cbbc package is on its way. I‘m sorry I‘m running behind this month! #coffeebeanbookclub @Mommamanzi

Y‘all.... I love Mindy Kaling.

On to my next read

@Chrissyreadit your #cbbc package is on its way to you. Expected delivery is Thursday! @Mommamanzi

I‘m not sure if I ever posted on here or if it was just on my Instagram but my boyfriend and I are currently doing the #75hardchallenge. And one of the things you must complete each day with this challenge is to read 10 pages of a non fiction book a day (for 75 days). I just finished my first book, hanger management. Here is a photo of my other non fiction books I will attempt to incorporate in our challenge.

I finished my 2021 reading challenge. 😂🤣😂🤣 now there is no pressure for the rest of the year.

I won‘t lie. This book overwhelmed me. And not because I feel it was intentional on the writers behalf... I think it was more me seeing how I feel like every eating mannerism that was talked about I exhibit in some shape way or form. I‘m very much into mindfulness but I instantly felt overwhelmed thinking “shit, I feel like I need to fix everything about how I eat”. I think it‘s is a great book with great tips though.

Enjoying one of my last few days of reading in front of my Christmas tree ❤️ two more days and I won‘t see this beauty for 11 months 🥲

I‘m not letting it get to December 31st 2021 and being upset at myself once again for not hitting a reading goal. So I‘m making it simple. If I read over my goal, great. If I only read one book this entire year, then great! No pressure 2021

Started my #75hardchallenge today snd this is my first book I‘m reading on it. I had started this in November but kept getting side tracked from finishing it so now I‘m staying focused.

I loved this book. It def was a slow build but The last probably 100 pages made me not want to put the book down. A great ghost/horror story. I most def recommend it
