pickI enjoyed listening to this one. The author read it, and I found it quite beautiful. @CatsAndBooks I am excited for the discussion at the end of the month :) ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #RiseUpReads
Conor looking uncharacteristically sweet :)
Me and quizes are like a moth to a flame! I am a PURPLE reader. Thanks for sharing this @ReadingOver50 and @TheLudicReader

pickMy #BookSpin book is a #BookToScreen book :) I had barely started watching the Hallmark versions of these books. They are pretty cute! 📺
In the books, I am not crazy about the love interest though. Its like I want to keep going on the series, but their relationship irks me.

panThis was a #NotForMe book. I usually like animals talking and their antics, but this time I don't know. I guess maybe because it wasn't “book 1“ that I didn't get too into it? Oh well. #ThematicCozies @JulieClair

#BookSpin - Book To Screen (need to figure out which one)
#DoubleSpin - #ThematicCozies - Tail Of the Tip-Off
March #DoubleSpin - #NonFiction - Most Delicous Poison
I am starting this one today - in between #AudioReSet and my current audiobook. I got a Penguin Classic Edition of this one, and it is also free on Audible, so I downloaded it to switch between the two :) I am excited to start!!

My #TheamitcCozies book for April - theme Sports - @JulieClair :) The blub said it had 🏀. I am not a huge fan of 🏀 yet, but I have been trying to dip my toes into it :)
This is also my #DoubleSpin book @TheAromaOfBooks
My #AudioReSet Plans for today (while listening)
🏀 Do a Load of Laundry
🏀 Go Grocery Shopping
🏀 Make Tuna Pasta stuff
🏀 Clean Nightstand
#MarchReCap
I consider 2 of my reads a 5-star read this month. One was read with the #HashTagBridgade, which really made it super enjoyable! Thanks again @BarkingMadRead
This one, I would say, is mostly because it is set where I grew up. So.. I might have been a bit bias.
#MarchReCap
Only did 2 graphic novels this month. Both are very cute :)

What would I do without #AudioBooks - And just to think I am only a couple of years into audio now. I used not to be able to focus on them and get lost easily!
#AudioCommute #AudioChores
#AudioReSet - has helped me a lot before and after a big chunk of work -- Gonna do that later today :)
#MarchReCap
I read a couple of physical books off my shelf, a kindle book, and a couple of Audibles I had :) All in all a good month :)

I read my #BookSpin book this month and started my #DoubleSpin, so I didn't do too bad, and I GOT A BINGO I will finish up my #DoubleSpin next month :) I am compiling my list of books for April, so I am purposely not looking at other updates for a little bit :)
#BookSpinBingo
Thanks again @TheAromaOfBooks
pickI finished this one right before April :) I really enjoyed it. It has things i enjoy - ghosts, true crime :)
pickI didn't guess the twist ---- so that's great!!! I enjoy listening to a twisty audible with different narrators, but Oliva's voice was super annoying to me!
Anyway, I enjoyed this one.
#AudioReSet :) 🦞 being silly!
Post Vacation Monday #AudioReSet :)
Heard good things about this one and it was “free“ with audible so - there you go
To Do:
💛 Reset my weekend bag - put all the toiletries where they belong
💛 Do laundry - wet bathsuit needs to be washed. Also forgot my dirty clothes bag, so my clean clothes that weren't worn will have to be washed too - enough for a full load
💛 Clean/Organize the backpack - it was extra self-care supplies
pickIt shows both books under the same link - not sure about that - Oh well.
Great book 2 :) It's super cute. Love the “friendship“ aspect of this :)
pickI enjoyed this book, however, it's one of those, I felt had so much more to offer (vampire/horror-wise) and it focused more on the love story aspect of it. Which I am not against, but had expected more mystery intensity than it gave. I did love that it was set where I grew up - and I think I am averaging up.
Finished reading it while resting in a a huge tub by the ocean this weekend :) #BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks
pickThis was a cute romancy-thriller book. I love how Audible uses different POV characters and voices. It truly is a great way to immerse in a book when you are doing all your adult things.
🦞
pickSuper cute graphic novel :) I read this one today and checked off “relax“ on my To Do List :) - Got the second on downloaded already :)

pickI enjoyed listening to Book 2 and am excited to listen to Book 3 soon :) I like this series :) #NextInSeries #ThematicCozies
so-soThis was a #NotForMe book. I wanted it to be for me - but it just wasn't :( 😞 I still want to watch the movie though. #BookToScreen
I am about 40% in (my #LibbyLoan came in, and I needed a new #AudioCommute book). So far. Its #NotForMe :( Maybe if I was a momma? I don't know. I am gonna keep listening, though - I might have time to listen while I spend time documenting tomorrow. #BookToScreen
Tulips just because they are beautiful.
Enjoying a rum and coke at MGM. I don't gamble so I read ❤️🖤
Joshua and I went to an art exhibit this weekend that had prints from children's books :) Joshua is a bit obsessed with Paddington. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Picked this one up today (its my #BookSpin book pick) anyway. Just one chapter in so far - love how the story takes place a couple hours from where I grew up in (Mcallen).
pickI enjoyed this one! And reading up on all the art fakes :) Not enough romance though, but some hinting of a couple of budding ones coming up. I might continue this series. #ThematicCozies @JulieClair
My #ThematicCozies pick for March. I used to love to paint (in a previous life), so I could say it used to be my hobby. When I googled “cozy mystery“ and “art,“ this one came up. I needed a new #AudioCommute #AudioChore book - so this is perfect. I am hoping this weekend I can listen to it at work (while documenting).
#JulieClair
#FebruaryReCap - I got a lot off my shelves!
#OffTheShelf2025 @Librariana
Almost a Bingo - I needed one more “free“ space. Oh well.
I finished my #BookSpin and my #DoubleSpin - and of course - more importantly, read some great books!
#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaOfBooks
Doubt I would read anything else this month - so starting to post my re-caps already.

@TheAromaOfBooks
I like playing along but I very rarely rarely get a bingo :) Ha
pickI had to take breaks while reading this one. The subject matter was intense and just hit too close to home. We recent (or maybe its confirmation bias) patients coming into the ED with the need for rape kits, and I just hated the language among “professionals“ regarding these women.

pickThis one sat on my #TBR for years! I might even have more than one copy as it had been one I had been meaning to read for years! Thank you #HashtagBridgade for allowing me to join in on this journey! I had a great time reading this depressing book with yall. @BarkingMadResd

pickSo, I enjoyed this one for what it was. A bit far-fetched, but -- what dark smutty romance/murder academia isn't? Overall kept me entertained 🌶️🌶️

Border Patrol makes me so nervous. I have always been so scared whenever we came to a checkpoint. Now with the word -- I am terrified of ICE. - Well more than I used to be.
This chapter hit too close to home for me
I am nowhere near caught up, but I spent some time writing some #LitsyLove letters today (slowly but surely, I will catch up—maybe—probably not). ❤️❤️❤️
Hubby had to work today. My kitty isn‘t letting me read yesterday- so… I‘m gonna try out this #BookToScreen pick (I loved the book!)
He is instant that he should be cuddled instead of letting me read. ♥️🦞♥️
Lobster 🦞🐈⬛ would not let me read yesterday. When I tried to push him off of me so I can turn pages— he held on to the book for dear life!
