My score: 72 out of 100. How can I pick favorites - there are so many! Standouts are Visions of Johanna (Bob Dylan), Mama Tried (Merle Haggard), that whole album by Jeff Buckley (his voice gets me every time).
But then there‘s Rilo Kiley and Liz Phair and Coldplay! And you can‘t beat Prince 💜 #tlt @dabbe

One of my most favorite new to me words, from my most recent read (You Be Mother). Mostly used in the book to mean a nap (which sounds SO NICE right now). Enjoy! #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

Crappy picture, great book!! Had to finish once we got into the last half. Simone does it again 👏🏻👏🏻 #sundaybuddyread @TheBookHippie

This was absolutely brilliant. Where are my dysfunctional family fiction fans? We‘ve got multiple funky families in this one and I LOVED it. @AmyG @Chelsea.Poole #readyourkindle
Side note: I bought two Nancy Mitford books whilst reading this, because she‘s mentioned often 😂♥️

SO MANY BUTTERFLIES 🦋♥️🦋♥️ Thank you, sweet Christine @TheBookHippie

Please excuse my messy desk area 😳😂 - Misty, thank you, my friend! I‘d forgotten this was on my TBR so it was a lovely surprise ♥️♥️♥️ you‘re the sweetest 🥰 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

My oldest kiddo asked if “series” had a singular form - it doesn‘t! Neither does “species” or “feces” (since I‘m rhyming 😅😂). More examples: scissors, jeans, binoculars, glasses/spectacles 👓😁 (and many more)!
#weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

WOW. I‘m overcome with emotion after finishing this. Everett did it again. Cannot WAIT for the #camplitsy24 discussion! #bookhangover @Megabooks @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB

@mandarchy found it! Circa 2013.

@AllDebooks has me thinking about clouds ☁️ today! Not necessarily “weird” words, but interesting and lovely 😊 What‘s the coolest cloud you‘ve seen? #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

He really doesn‘t like having his picture taken 😂 #yoda

So sorry for the late post, friends - this gal did NOT sleep well and I‘m just 🤪😵‍💫😩🫠 Here are the #readyourkindle numbers for July! Enjoy and don‘t forget to tag me in your posts (and let me know if you‘d like to be removed from my tag list too). #readyourebooks #readyournook

I finally read this (picked it up because I liked her Child Finder series and also Soubhi‘s review). Brutal, haunting, so dark, but full of light, hope, and yes, enchantment. Absolutely gorgeous writing that kept me riveted despite the very difficult subject matter. 💔 @Soubhiville

The spinner thingy chose this prompt for #TBRtarot ☺️ I hope you guys like the prompts I‘ve come up with so far! Feel free to send me suggestions for future ones! Have fun 🤩 (and #camplitsy24 folks, I promise this isn‘t rigged to “force” us to read James 😂)

I loooooove my birthday month - a free book! Plus they have Bear for #camplitsy24 😊 #botm

Oof. Having to choose between Greta/Valdin, Tom Lake, Demon, and Blacktop?!? That was HARD. Ultimately, Greta and Valdin just can‘t be beat! Makes me happy all over again just remembering it 🥰 #readingbracket2024 @CSeydel

Friends, y‘all are doing way better than me with this challenge 😂 Good thing it‘s low key 😅 With that, I present my #readyourkindle list for July! #readyournook #readyourebooks

I‘m so generous with my stars, y‘all. Like I gave this one five stars because well, I flew through it and the twists totally blindsided me. It did feel like there were no twists in the first 3/4 then all of a sudden you‘re being jostled around from one roller coaster to another. Needless to say, I loved it 😂😂😂🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Well, Julie, I finally managed to read another book from your #auldlangspine list. And what a wonderful book it was! I loved every character, I loved the settings (especially Maine ♥️), loved the story. The ending was just perfect 😊 #ALSpine #readyourkindle @RebelReader @monalyisha

In Blacktop Wasteland, Bug apparently has an eidetic memory. I‘d probably go crazy seeing images in this way, which is further proven by my eyes going all crossy looking at some of the eidetic memory tests. I mean, I think I need an Advil 😂😂😂 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

I just loved this. Such a balm for the soul, and the ending was a nice surprise ♥️ #camplitsy24 @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain @Megabooks

I wish I‘d been able to sit and read this all at once - it‘s that type of book, and it‘s that good. Action packed, violent, gritty, with lovable characters that you can‘t help but root for. #authoramonth (omg I actually participated 😂) #aam #readyourkindle

Anyone else think this sounds like a French dessert? Anyway, enjoy 😊 I actually posted one today! #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

I listed some on your original post, @slategreyskies but, here are a few more (this is so fun, thanks for the idea 😊♥️):
The Bell Jar of Jam
Blackberry Wasteland
The 7 1/2 Dumplings of Evelyn Hardcastle
A Talent for Marshmallows
I could do this all day 😂😂 #makeabookedible #litsygames

MISTYYYYY 😍😍😍😍 Thank you for sending this to me! Can‘t wait to read it. I discovered that if I read this one, I‘ll have read all of his books - I guess I‘m a fan 😂😂 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

This was a beautiful read and only cements what I already knew - Ann Patchett is one of my favorite writers. I found myself thinking more than once how lovely it would be to live in an orchard, or near one - but I think I‘d be disappointed to find that I wouldn‘t be living with the Nelson family 😂 #tbrtarot #flowersoncover

Good morning, friends! As promised, here are the #readyourkindle numbers! Would love to see what you‘ll be reading 😊 Remember, low-key! No pressure! HAVE FUN 🤩😘 #readyourebooks #readyournook

Hi friends! Since we got through the whole deck of #TBRtarot cards, I made some of my own! I put them all into a numbered grid and used the trusty spinner thingy 😂😁 Enjoy!!

What did I tell y‘all? May favorite, hands down ♥️♥️♥️ #readingbracket2024 @CSeydel

My personal #readyourkindle list for June - my progress has been dismal this month, but any progress is awesome 🤷‍♀️🤪😂 If everyone is okay with it, I‘m going to change the number draw date to the THIRD of each month, starting with June 3. Sound good? Thanks for reading with me, friends! #readyourebooks #readyournook

I think I liked this 😂 but it took me forever to read and I‘m still slightly confused. Great concept, excellent writing, but a bit too long and sometimes convoluted. I think it‘s just me and the timing not being right 🤪🤷‍♀️ #readyourkindle

This dinosaur name has taken me YEARS to get right, and I still don‘t know sometimes if I‘m saying it right 😂 Let‘s say it together - parasaurolophus, parasaurolophus, parasaurolophus. Here‘s a wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasaurolophus
#weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords 🤓 🦕

Nope, it doesn‘t have to do with food 😂 I‘m posting this definition as it means to “thwart” in the book I‘m currently reading (The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle). But the main definition is “a hole in a ship's side to carry water overboard from the deck.” 😁 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

Welp, that‘s it for May, because no other book I‘ve read so far this month can even remotely come close to this absolute GEM. If anyone needs me, I‘ll be here nursing a major book hangover for the rest of the month….. 😍😍😍😍

I just like this word. Hubby asked what it meant and I told him then said “like me!” 😂😂😂 At least well read 😂😉 (also the faction I think I‘d be part of in the Divergent series 🤓) *edited to add that I‘d totally be in the Amity faction, I was way off base lol*

Don‘t know if this is based on the book, BUT have any of y‘all watched this? It is EXCELLENT. If you love octopuses, it‘s a must see! 🐙 ♥️ @TheBookHippie @Soubhiville @DebinHawaii (tagging y‘all since you‘ve posted about that incredible octopus, etc book that I‘ve yet to read!)

Loved, loved, loved this. I miss having a James ♥️

Immediately thought of “squint,” and apparently it‘s a similar meaning 😀 Plus a cool architectural thingy. Enjoy ☺️☺️ #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

Not enough “wows” for this one - absolutely brilliant!! Read to familiarize myself with her work because Bear is a #CampLitsy24 choice - and @BarbaraBB loved it so I thought I might too ♥️ Beautifully written, and each story came together seamlessly. Learned a lot about a place I know nothing about. Best part was the ending, just incredible!

Hellllooooo friends! Here are the #readyourkindle numbers for May (I almost typed March 😂). Remember - even if you don‘t get to all of the drawn books, it‘s okay! If you‘re reading *any* ebooks, even if they aren‘t the drawn ones, it‘s okay! If you‘re behind (as I am), it‘s okay! 😀😘😅🤗 Have fun! #readyourebooks #readyournook

This was great! I could really relate to Frankie and Zeke - teenagehood was so dang hard! Misfits unite 👊🏻 👏🏻 #readyourkindle #tbrtarot #may #maleauthor

Hi friends! This is the last #TBRtarot card in the deck, BUT I‘ve made some of my own so I hope you‘re all game to continue 😊 Enjoy!

Demon ♥️ #readingbracket2024 @CSeydel
*Edited to add Sally as a bonus book, it was excellent!

Finally getting around to posting this! It‘s almost #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook time 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Let me know if you want to be added or removed from my tag list! Happy Tuesday friends!

You guys. HISTORY is being made over here. I have NEVER read my name in a book. EVER!!
Mind blown 🤯 👏🏻

I really liked this, but it took forever to read! I think I haven‘t been in the right headspace this past week and it‘s been difficult to focus 😵‍💫 This is definitely a book that requires concentration and less distraction - at least IMO. #readyourkindle #april 🐙

Oh, I took a deep-ish dive with this one and learned so much already! These are only the most common examples - enjoy! If anyone else wants to be tagged, let me know 🤓♥️ #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

This was SO good. Super dark, triggers abound, but I really rooted for Sally ♥️ Definitely a bit of a dark Eleanor Oliphant! @AmyG thanks for sending me Unraveling Oliver as I wouldn‘t have picked this one up if you hadn‘t! 😘 #readyourkindle

Thank you, Percival Everett, for introducing me to this word (and plenty of others, it was actually hard to choose 🤩). Here‘s a Wiki about fescennine verse - so interesting: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fescennine_Verses 🤓 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

Just finished this odd book and honestly, I really liked it. Confusing? Yes. Occasionally hard to follow? Yup. Brain bending? Oh yeah. But it came together and I found the ending more satisfying than others (I got the “good” ending though so that helped 😂). Percival Everett is just 🤯
