My current read is:?️??

My next read is either going to be "shit, actually" or heir of fire.

I strongly recommend Tess gerritsen, Kathy Reichs, and, now, Alex North.

Both, both, both, depends, tea, physical, both #wondrouswednesday

Very high pick. Excellent read.

Not much call for Valentine's cards around these parts, and I didn't do any swaps. Soulmates are real I just don't think they are romantic or sexual. I think your soulmate is the one person you want I. Your life regardless of how. A perfect Valentine's looks like any other day. Full of peace. #wondrouswednesday

I don't currently have such a song.
I would live in Morocco, specifically Morocco with equal rights and democracy. Failing that I would stay in Canada. Self care looks like making sure I get enough sleep. 10 hours is what it takes to refresh my soul. More specifically right now I have to do rotator cuff exercises. #wondrouswednesday

This book is really dark, so far no solutions have been presented just hellish nightmares. Only a fifth done with it.

Not to my knowledge, one, throne of glass #wondrouswednesday

No, because I almost never buy a book I haven't read yet. I only buy books I know I will want to read again in future unless it's a fundraiser, then I target books from my tbr to buy. The exceptions to this rule are Temperance Brennan novels, and, Rizzoli & Isles novels. #sundayfunday

#tlt I have a cross stitch made by my great grandmother from my dad's side and an embroidery by my great great grandmother on my mom's side. There is also a quilt that I've been meaning to have reinforced stitching wise so it would be safe to use it.

I like reading any historical fiction

First read was bare bones by Kathy Reichs

Longest ever was the tagged book, unless I count textbooks from my lit courses, then it was one of them at somewhere around 1500 to 2000 pages. #wondrouswednesday

I finished this one today. I enjoyed it much more after reading it in order.

Gahh! I keep reminding myself the sane and healthy thing when it is this frigid out is to remain indoors. The wind chill has us at -33 last I checked. Way too cold.

Just finished watching the tagged movie (Jason Momoa) and holy hell. Way too much CGI. I honestly felt annoyed by how much they used. All the fight scenes looked like early generation MMORPG games. Also may I just say hair as short as orms is wouldn't make a smooth chinon even soaking wet.

I'm curious to know what everyone's most impactful life changing books were and how they changed you. #throwbackthursday

Sometimes I do, but I always return. What helps me get back to it is reading a very well loved favorite. Dean Koontz and Robin cook. Kathy Reichs, Audrey Coulthurst, and Tanaz Bhathena. #wondrouswednesday

I'm still having card swap cards showing up from the states! The joys of postal slowdowns. Thanks to all for the cards and thoughts. #holidaycardswap

#two4tuesday Nothing specific, my usual goal of one book is locked in on Goodreads and storygraph. All my challenges are on storygraph. I'm chipping away at the OWLS and working on Read the world as well as #yuletidereads which is also on litsy and run by me. Then I have #fourfoursin24 ,also litsy, by @Lauredhel. And finally #seasonalcozies.

Circa 2005:
Bell bottoms and skinny jeans worn by the same people in the same week. Scene and goth kids swearing up and down that they were different despite one just being more colorful. That was it. Only difference was color. People ripping their hair with crochet hooks and calling it dreads. Jelly bracelets. And collars.

PJ's, sleep, mug, couch, slippers. #thisorthat

2023 books read from storygraph #yearinreview

#happynewyear

Shortest book- Skipping Christmas

Longest book- Dragonfly in Amber

Reading year in review per Goodreads #yearinreview

Yes to both and my favorite gift to give aside from a book is themed items. Example: if someone really liked throne of glass I might send them a necklace or peace of jewelry similar to one described in the books. Otherwise bookmarks are an easy go to. #two4tuesday

Hosted on Christmas Eve at my place for my sister's birthday. Had Christmas day at my sister's with her and hungover roommates. They're just starting to realize that for every year over 20 drinking to excess hurts more the next day 😋. Played air hockey and watched them play zombies for a while.
#holidayhijinks how was it for everyone else?

Here is the link to my tracker for #fourfoursin24 by @Lauredhel . I've made it public so anyone can use it.

Hands down homemade cider I use organic apple juice from the summer market that was frozen in August. I slow cook it with cinnamon sticks and some cloves jammed into an orange.

A toss up between deck the halls and do they know it's Christmas (not a Carol I know).

I bundle up under covers, wear cozy sweaters, and craft or watch movies.

1. the Santa clause 1 and 2, the knight before Christmas, a castle for Christmas, and the holiday.
2. All I want for Christmas is Island
3. Anything cozy or familiar.
