I started a new exercise routine that has helped stop the ache in my knees. And as much as I hate exercising, I do like mobility so I've stuck with it 😊

My abundance of gratitude tattoo serves as a daily reminder to be #Grateful because time is finite. The quote is from the tagged book.

I don't know how I feel about this. I was interested, touched, horrified, bored. It was too much war story for me, but I learned a lot. Overall, I liked the two MCs too much to DNF. Also, it gave me a whole new perspective on the cartoon Stop That Pigeon 😂

Going for a third bingo this month. If I don't make it at least I'll start November with one 😁

After a bit of a slow I had a hard time putting this down. Adoption has some shady ass roots thanks to Georgia Tann. Both a heartbreaking and heartwarming story.

I enjoyed the history of Cuba, and having to sneak books out, but there was just too much going on. Triple timelines feel overkill.

Went to a book fair today at a local brewery. Such fun!


It was nice to hear Andy talk about his family instead of all the gossip and partying in his other two diaries.

I also love that it give me a bingo #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Third time's a charm! Finally a book I don't want to DNF 💃🏻


As soon as I started this I remembered why I have zero memory of A Visit From The Goon Squad--I had no idea what the hell I had read. After 70 pages of an incoherent jumble of story elements I decided to #HailTheBail
My second DNF of the month and it's only the 3rd 😆 But that also means two more TBRs off the shelf so Yay!

Barely made through the intro without falling asleep! The writing style is not for me.

I loved that everyone found exactly the right book at exactly the right time. What felt like choppy story telling actually came together quite nicely, even if the end dragged a bit. Overall, a good story.

The tagged is my #2025ReadingBracket pick for September

Got a Bingo this month and made some progress toward a blackout board by the end of the year.

September felt like the month of DNFs 🙇🏻♀️

Since banned book week is coming I thought this would be a next read

A memoir of Conroy's time teaching at a small school on Yamacraw Island in 1969. A desegregation coming-of-age story of sorts for him. It was interesting to see the origins of characters that appeared in his later books.
