Not a Hitchcock you'd think of right away, but grippingly good.

1. Even though Matt's head hurts and has 22 staples in it, the doctor got all of the skin cancer. 😅
2. Survived two weeks of going back to work at the ol' high school. TGIF never felt so good! 😂
3. Caught up on #LitsyLove letters. For now. 😀
4. Sitting out on the back porch with Matt and the pups during dusk.
5. Kate and Pippa enjoying the grass.
Happy weekend! 🤩

“Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street, the traffic starts jumpin'
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5 ...“ #singitdolly! 🤩

I can still use the word “album“, right? 😂
These choices could change 10 seconds from now.
1. AUTUMN by George Winston. My fave album of all time. That will never change.
2. A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS with music by Vince Guaraldi: I listen to this year-round.
3. TALES OF MYSTERY AND IMAGINATION by the Alan Parsons Project. Reimagined Poe at its best.

1. My first “date“ with my high school boyfriend was working on an AP Econ project together. We went to the branch that I grew up with as a child. As I sat there making goo-goo eyes at my soon-to-be boyfriend, I said good-bye to the girl who once came here every week as her lifeline.
2. online library, Hoopla, Libby, Internet Archive, I try to buy through Pango.
3. WIDE SARGASSO SEA. 💙'ed it.

1. Brie cheese, french bread, prosecco ... and maybe some ice cold pink lemonade.
2. Any beach read is a picnic read! 😀
pick4/5 ⭐️s. In looking around, reviews are all over the place on this one. The writing was difficult to comprehend at times because of (I believe) the stream of consciousness POV shifts between Rochester and Antoinette, but I loved the challenge. I got lost inside Antoinette's mind and truly felt for her and her impossible situation. I now understand Rochester better, but that doesn't mean I like Mr. Byronic Badman anymore than I did in JANE EYRE. ⬇️

For me, it's “We Built this City“ by Starship. Such irony in the line “They're always changing corporation names.“ Really, Jefferson Airplane? Or should I say Jefferson Starship? Or Starship? Who the hell are you anyway? #80scommercialsellouts
Do you agree? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1b8AhIsSYQ
pickEven though Doyle wrote two novels before these twelve stories, for me, it all begins with this book and the first short story “A Scandal in Bohemia.“ If you're new to the world of Holmes and Watson, this is the book to start with. Twelve masterful short stories that have most of the best of the Holmes canon. I don't know how many times I've read these, but I keep rereading and will keep rereading for as long as I can. I am truly #sherlocked.

1. Tagged. IMHO, the greatest mystery ever written.
2. To eat? Eggs Benedict. To make myself? French toast. Drop that egg, some milk, some great bread ... grill to perfection. Serve with real butter and authentic maple syrup. #beyondyum

2. 3 I'd like to add to the list: DOGSONG, FOREVER, HUCK FINN.

Hey, parent(s) of #CatsOfLitsy, did you know that this is who you are? I sure didn't! 💙🐱💙
I won this in a #LitsyLove giveaway. It's an absolutely delightful assortment of comics drawn by Debbie Tung regarding what else? ... a book lover's love of books. I found myself nodding and smiling at every single page. It's a wonderful gift to give a book lover and one you'll want to keep for yourself to return to again and again. Thanks @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks ... it's the perfect feel-the-love-of-books read! 🤗

@Librarybelle
Another fun mystery with Nancy, her friends, George and Bess, and finally Ned Nickerson! I had forgotten that Ned could be quite flirtatious and Nancy quite demure. Add to that a mansion gone up in flames, a missing owner, and a poor family in need, and you've got quite a puzzle for Nancy to solve! Nancy doesn't hit her head in this one, but she does get slapped in the face. 😱 I look forward to the discussion on 5/15.
I'm at my old high school, proctoring an AP exam, and my hubby makes me this lunch! A PB&J sandwich that I haven't had in ages, an orange, and for dessert, a little York peppermint patty. I think I'll keep him. 😀

1. For some reason, I can always tell where north is without any app, North Star, whatever. I just instinctively know--no matter what city, either. I have no idea why.
2. Tagged: THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE.
