1) No, I'll read anywhere.
2) It depends -- if it is a book I own I fold the pages like the monster I am, if it is a borrowed book then anything handy, bookmark, a clean diaper, doesn't matter
3) Depends on the book.
4) Both
5) TV usually
6) Depends on my concentration level
7) At home and everywhere
8) Silently
9) Sometimes
10) Breaking the spines
11) Depends on the book and why I'm reading it.
12) Open tag -- anyone who wants to

I've been cleaning and being ruthless with my stuff today. I've started to pack up my stuff already.

Finally I am relaxing and starting on the tagged comic. I love Harley Quinn, always have, so I am really excited to read this.

#letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon

I'm giving this a pick, because I really wanted to like it and I did, but I don't think I am in the proper state of mind to actually really enjoy it. There were some particular scenes of violence that triggered some of my own personal issues, which normally doesn't happen. I mean I just finished 28 Days Later and that was plenty violent and bloody.

I'm going to skip reading the rest of the series until I'm feeling better.

The spice shaker of comic books coughed up to slips of paper. So I guess I'm reading these next for #letsgetgraphicweeklong

I'm liking that this is making a dent into my TBR.

1) Sailor Moon
2) I haven't read a lot of memoirs in the past -- Coming Clean was good, as was I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings.
3) Pumpkin, anything pumpkin, ick.
4) Black Panther!!
5) ❤❤❤❤❤

I hated this comic. It was seriously amazing. I cannot wait to read the next volume. Anyone who hasn't read this, read this!!

(There was actually another graphic in this picture. No idea where it went.)

#letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon

Has anyone seen this??? It is coming out for Android and iOS. You build your own character, get sorted, learn spells, according to the article.

The spice shaker of comic books selected this for me to read. I'm pretty excited. I've been looking forward to giving this series a try.

I'm trying to keep up with my reading this month, but I'm afraid I won't read anywhere near where I planned. Life keeps trying to knock me down. First all the crap with my ex, then my job situation, now more ex-fiancee crap.

I'm hoping I can push through as I'm really excited about my planned reading.

Solid four star read. I'm all about Zombies or zombie like creatures. I loved the movie 28 Days Later, and this series is the in-between of that movie and 28 Weeks Later. There were things I didn't like about, like the romance and some of the artwork, but who cares, it was good.

When the zombie apocalypse happens I want to be as bad-ass as Selena.

#letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon

The spice shaker of comic books picked this as my first read for #letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon

It was interesting. I really liked the artwork; it reminded me of Hellboy in a way, the artwork not the story. I don't think I'll be continuing the series though. I liked it, and it was good, but I just wasn't all that into it.

I haven't been posting much for #letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon
I did finish The Umbrella Academy yesterday and today I started the tagged comic. I've been distracted because I got a new job!! I'm so excited. :-)

I've been using an old spice shaker to select which comic I want to read next. I plan on catching up tonight and tomorrow. I've been keeping up with all the speech bubble posts.

Had therapy today, and there was some time to kill for the baby and I afterwards. (My ex decided he wanted to tag along to run an errand. -_-) So we went to the thrift store to poke around. No books really caught my eye except for 'The Witches' and I picked up a couple of book for the baby. He loves ducks and firetrucks.

1) This is my only, and these are all the books that I have left.
2) Futuristic
3) I prefer liquor, especially mixed drinks. However I do not drink.
4) Hazel, greenish.
5) The tagged book for #BooktoScreen and slowly making my way through the audiobook of The Dark Lure.

#HumpDayPost
@MinDea

This was actually my first Alive Hoffman, and I really enjoyed this. I can't wait to read more by her.

Halfway through the tagged book and I really like it. I tried to take a picture, but the kitten jumped up instead. You can see part of another kitten from the same litter that I let in. Which I need to stop, too many cats aggravates the baby's allergy.

On a side note, I have a job interview tomorrow and my ex-fiancee showed back up after no communication these last few weeks. -_-

Thanks, @MrBook for the tag. Great guideline for all the Litsy swaps happening.

@LitsySwaps

I was kind of meh while pursuing the books available for January on Amazon. I ended up choosing this one. It sounds really good. Now I should maybe start reading the books I download each month from Amazon.

#kindlefirst #amazonfirst #amazonprime

Another awesome exchange happening!

@inwhichHeikereadsharder #2018nonfictionbookexchange

First book finished of the new year! And damn -- I've seen a lot of mixed reviews on this book, and then there is that controversy that I really haven't read about, but I liked it. Loved it even. To me it was pretty powerful. I read this as an ebook so I screenshot some of the poems. If poetry is your thing, I encourage you to pick it!

#poetrychallenge2018 #readharder2018 #onesittingbook

1) @AmandaL
2) @ForeverNerdy (well she was reading it. That counts right?)
3) @Jaberwocky

#LitsyScavengerHunt @Chelleo

1) I don't keep up with new releases.
2) Deadpool 2, Black Panther, Ready Player One, A Wrinkle in Time, Alita: Battle Angel, Jurassic World, Incredibles 2, The New Mutants, Ocean's 8, The Nun, The Purge: The Island
3) Neither
4) It isn't a deal breaker, but this time around they better be okay with the fact that I am a reader.
5) 👍👍👍

#friyayintro @jesshowbooks

(I should keep up with new books like I do with new movies. Lol)

#potterheadswap #harrypotter

I lost my spot. Every time I sit down she tries to crawl on me for loving. Meanwhile her ginger baby is hiding under my son's bed because apparently he doesn't like his mom. Lol

I guess I can start on tagged book until she moves.

No excuse me stray cat I keep letting into the house, I'm not trying to write out the comics I want to read for #letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon

Not even your ginger baby does this to me.

(P.S. The baby named this cat Momma Cat.)

The awesome @JenlovesJT47 has a swap going for those who love #funkopops !! Head over to her page for the sign up link.

#funkopopswap #swap

1) This is currently all I have up. They'll come down soon to be packed.
2) Read Harder, Reading Women, and Popsugar challenges. And the #poetrychallenge here on Litsy.
3) Glasses
4) Oceans and starry night skies
5) I have a lot of books planned for 2018 so picking one I'm most excited for is hard. I'm excited to finally read the tagged book.

#humpdaypost @MinDea

The baby and I had a good day today. Ran some errands, stopped at the library and he picked out some books. We went to the thrift store where I found the tagged book, and somehow those others just jumped in there. The thrift store apparently gives out free books to kids also! So Rurik picked The Perfect Pet.

Also my oldest daughter has started to receive her postcards. She has been so excited. So thank you to everyone who sent her postcards!

I set my Goodreads challenge for 2018. The 2yr old and I are spending New Year's at home. I'm going to eat this donut then my pizza, finish filling out the books for my three reading challenges. And then read something on my tablet. I haven't decided what yet.

I don't make New Year resolutions, but for my new year I'm purging myself of all reminders of my ex-fiancee, and I am moving back to PA.

Happy New Year everyone!!

Saw this on my FB feed.

Going through my phone's gallery, ruthlessly deleting any pictures of my ex-fiancee that I don't need and found this gem that I saved from FB. Thought y'all would get a kick out of it. :-)

Under the watermark is the website for them: www.bartenerds.com

@MrBook @BookBabe @Avanders are hosting #CupidGoesPostal #ValentinesBookExchange

Visit their pages for more information and the link!!

And it really sucks that PR is still in recovery efforts. I'm so sorry @BookishMarginalia

1) All of them? I can't pick just one. Potstickers from Applebee's were great.
2) Books are pictured.
3) Read Harder, Popsugar, and Reading Women challenges -- trying to make a big dent in my TBR
4) Reshape my life -- NaNoWriMo -- thinking about moving back to PA
5) ❤❤❤❤

#friyayintro @jesshowbooks

I did the PowerPuff one. I use to love this show! I look so cute, and according to the quiz I took I am a Monster Clobberer. Maybe I'll try to emulate that in real life.
#PowerPuffYourself

It was so nice to revisit these books. I finished this today (and started it today.) Still just as good when I first read it years and years ago. I need my own copies again.

I'm having a lot of trouble sleeping and my anxiety is through the roof. So I'm trying to do everything I can to take my mind off of things. Reading is helping, but now it is finished and everything I have is for next year.

I'm so excited for this! I already have my comics planned out (the tagged book being one of them). And there is a a photo challenge too! I may or may not participate in that, but we will see.

#LetsGetGraphicWeeklongMarathon #PhotoChallenge #giveaway

1) Reshape my life
2) Not sure yet - maybe Milk and Honey
3) Read only from TBR list and make a huge dent in that list.
4) No swaps, but I am doing the Read Harder, Popsugar, and Reading Women challenge for 2018
5) A blanket usually, sometimes hot tea.
6) Consider this an open tag for anyone who wants to do.
@Wbabdullah #2018Goals

I finished the first and second book last night/early this morning. Now that I have all my important real life things taken care if, I'm starting in the third book. I didn't get to use my bookmark from the last book so I'm using it for this.

I'm trying to keep my mind as busy and occupied as I can so I don't think. I think it is working, but I feel exhausted.

First book of the series. I read them when I was much younger and used to reread them constantly. I don't love Emily as much as I love Anne Shirley, but she is still a good character.

I finished this book in the span of a few hours, never even had a chance to use my pretty tribal bookmark in it.

Emily is my favourite Montgomery character after Anne Shirley. I hate the way the Murray's treat Emily though. :-(

Picture on the right is my phone screen and picture on the left is my tablet screen. My tablet screen might be a little more bookish than my phone screen.

#bookishscreens @Chelleo

I'm trying to keep my mind off of everything that happened on Christmas Day. So of course the answer to that is to drown myself in books now that I've got all the crying out. I finished the first Emily book and now I'm starting in the second.

I've logged out of FB, but I can't seem to stay away from Litsy. Too much feel-good here. This is my happy place.

Thanks to everyone who sent my daughter postcards for her school project. She hasn't received them yet, but she is really excited and says thank you.

I just wanted to let everyone know I'm not going to be around for a while. My fiancee left me today and I have no idea what to do now. No need to apologize or anything; I just needed to say it somewhere, and y'all are really the only friends I have. I just need to deal with this.

What a wonderful idea!

#JoinIn @4thhouseontheleft

One more week left for this awesome #FeedAReader swap by the awesome @TricksyTails and @MinDea

According to the post I stole this from, they've changed it so there is now a one time swap option available.

I'm still reading this book, mostly because I'm taking it slow for December. I finally swapped out the diaper I was using for this awesome Hermione Granger bookmark from @Clwojick (it was a clean, unused diaper don't worry).

Look at this awesome mug I got from @the-flashley ! When I made hot tea the mug changed.

3) A little over 200 -- I'm taking a break from reading until next month.
4) Home Alone
5) A new vehicle.

#friYAYintro @jesshowbooks

My Jeep finally shit the bed. It is no longer worth it to keep fixing. So for right now I got a beater car to hold me over.

Also went to the library. I limited myself to one book, which I picked up in anticipation of #BooktoScreen for January. The rest of that is Rurik's (my two year okd.) He actually let me read all of those books to him!

@Clwojick @LeahBergen #bookmarkswap items will be on their way next week! So sorry for the delay.

@Natasha.C.Barnes is doing a #poetrychallenge for 2018 if anyone is interested in joining her. :-)
