Combined #BookReport and #WeeklyForecast :
I loved The Situation Room! Lots of great info. I‘m so glad I read that last week.
This week, it‘s time to really dive into #buddyread titles and see what #BookSpinBingo brings!

This week, it‘s time to really dive into #buddyread titles and see what #BookSpinBingo brings!
I just realized that this book is the first book in a series and it‘s a single dad/nanny romance. This is another single dad romance on my #readyourkindle list. This could be another book that‘s perfect to read for Father‘s Day because it has a single dad. The problem is if I like this book, I won‘t be able to continue with the series because this book is no longer available on Amazon. This one is also not on Litsy.
May wrap up:
Along with those pictured I made progress in the #192025 challenge (years 2000 & 2004) 65/106 complete. D and K for #AtoZ with G, Q, X and Y remaining. And 3 more #BookChain prompts completed for 23/34.

I scored an awesome deal at the local used bookstore today! The Usborne books I got for my son which were never opened (originally an $80 value) for only $20! And the rest were for myself, priced at $3 each. It‘s always a good day when you find some deals on great books 📚
I haven‘t had much time to read the past couple days. Joining in a little late on the #20in4 #Readathon.
My goals are to:
▪️Finish reading Wicca for Beginners
▪️Start reading Gaia
▪️Read a couple chapters of Winter‘s Fury on Kindle
My May wrap up. 📚🌸

A friend wanted to see if I could create his favorite hat, which has gone. Since I apparently can't just make one hat, here's one that I made today for my mom.

May was a great reading month for me. I finished a couple of series and got caught up on a few more. I also cleared a good amount of space off my shelves.

How is it June already? And how is it June 1, 2024? My son turned 40 today…I just cannot figure out how that happened so damn fast
Anyway, here‘s my #Bookspin plan. I thought I might be ready to make a commitment to actual titles but finished up May going completely off plan so loosy goosy it is.
@TheAromaofBooks

2. I saw this little critter at the dog park. I felt it crawling on my leg. It felt fuzzy.
3. I bought these portable fans on Amazon.
4. My favorite reading challenge is back for the summer.
5. I‘m participating in the #20in4 readathon.

Playing catch up today. # TLT #ThreeListThursday
This was a fun trip down memory lane. We saw Earthquake in Portland in a theater that was equipped with the new surround sound technology that made you feel the earthquake in your seat. It was quite thrilling and terrifying. I will forever love The Sting and I can‘t believe Willy Wonka was not on the list so it‘s on mine 😁
@dabbe
My June list for #ReadYourKindle. Managed to cross off two books in May, both DNFs but at least it's progress.

#WondrousWednesday
1) Starting a non-profit and advocating for the clients we served
2) when I worked full time I liked 4 10‘s best when I could make it happen
3) My grandfather wanted one of his 5 children to be an accountant. All 5 went to college (which in their circumstance was quite an accomplishment) but he got 3 teachers, an engineer and a CEO instead. It always pleased me that I filled that dream although he didn‘t live to see it.
