Welcome to Litsy!

Books are:
mirrors
windows
sliding glass doors
stepping stones
overcoats
anchors
springboards
escape hatches
quiet corners
warm blankets
flying carpets
beacons to new readers
And much more 😊📚💕

1) I don‘t do TBR lists. I just wander over to my shelves and snag whatever catches my eye. Sometimes it‘s a new thing, sometimes it‘s a re-read.
2) When I hit 30, I developed crazy car sickness if I read while moving. ? Guess it‘s payback for reading in the car as a kid.
3) Mostly my beagle. Sometimes my fiancé screaming at Overwatch.
4) Wine?
5) Consider yourself tagged if you haven‘t done this yet!

super cute!

1) If I have something I particularly want to read I'll push it up my TBR list, but generally I just go to the bookshop/library and wander around until I find something that sounds interesting.

2) Yes, constantly. I read while navigating the treacherous city sidewalks; public transit is child's play.

Not pictured in these stats: I did 25 push-ups & did the balance beam several times and jumped on the trampoline with my daughter (at open gym today). Decided I just would have fun with her, even though most parents just sit and watch their kids play. Once I got over my self-consciousness, I got a pretty good workout in! #bfc #bookfitnesschallenge

1. Usually whatever is next on my library loans, but sometimes I go with what mood I‘m in, and I try to read my BOTM and Amazon First Reads that month too.
2. Yes (if I rode), but if I‘m in a moving vehicle it needs to be audio.
3. Noises. I need headphones or earplugs if there are distractions.
4. Water and lollipops lol 😂
5. @Prettytears @bbdeese @ItsAngel @ecummings Hi! 👋
#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

2. I don‘t usually travel via bus or train, but if I did, yes!
3. Social media, other hobbies, being an adult. 🙄
4. Tea ☕️🍃

I can‘t find this in the Litsy database, but it‘s available for free download yet tonight through https://www.audiobooksync.com. I started listening this afternoon when I got home and continued straight through to the end. It‘s told in documentary play format and includes stories of people on the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling rig that exploded in 2010, as well as their families and others impacted by the disaster.

What to read next?! I‘ll be starting Five Days at Memorial for school tonight, but probably will start another leisure book soon too...

Another daily questions catch up day today because yesterday was an intense “depression fog” day.

Today has been like that too, but I‘m trying to do little things to move through it.

#WondrousWednesday

Seems I have a well honed (accidental and not at all intentional) aversion for Pulitzer Prize winning books 😱🧐 (I‘ve seen the Colour Purple as a stage show - it was phenomenal)

https://www.listchallenges.com/pulitzer-prize-novels/list/3

Looking forward to this. Hopefully I can get a decent amount of uninterrupted reading time. 📚🙂📚

#24B4Monday #Readathon #BannedBooks Edition #MayMadness

1. I try to do it in purchased order. But that falls apart quickly.
2. I used to when I took the bus.

I'm traveling to my homeland of Russia, and specifically my hometown of St. Petersburg. Of course one of my first stops was at a bookstore (😂😍📚) and I picked up the pictured book, which is in Russian. Although I am reading slower, but I am happy to say I still remember how. #currentlyreading #bookworm #Russiangirl #vacay 🇷🇺

Haha! Reading IS sexy! 😉📚📖💋

PRH is having a summer reading challenge for kids. Check it out using this link.

Found a cute used bookstore in my neighborhood today! There are thousands of books stacked from floor to ceiling. I could have easily spent hours in here but they had to close, so I just grabbed three that stood out to me. 📚🤓

I haven't read the noir book set in a city of abandoned imaginary friends, but only because it isn't out yet. Seems like the main imaginary friend (the dino detective on the cover) will be nicer than TNG's Imaginary Friend!

Hey!
So I thought I‘d make a little intro post.
My names Bec, I‘m 19 and I‘m a marine vertebrate zoology student. My absolute favourite genres are horror, fantasy and MAYBE a wee bit of romance from time to time. I‘m a big environment enthusiast and love gazing into the sea when it‘s raining, with a fat cup of coffee and some chill music. I aspire to be a marine vertebrate conservationist, specialising in sharks and rays! Happy reading!

I know I mentioned this about a month ago, but PRH has a reader rewards program.

This graphic only shows 30 points but I have 60. I just loaded 3 more books. At 120 you get a free book. And here‘s the thing, you don‘t have to load them right after you buy them. I let mine sit and enter when I think about it. Just keep your receipt. It will ask for things like date of purchase and store number.

We drove down to Southern Cal for my sister's graduation, but unfortunately I caught a flu so I'm stuck at the hotel. (I was looking forward in running in a new scenery too ☹)

We live in the coutryside so Chance is not used to seeing so many stores, cars, and people. He's been staring out that window for days lol😁

Since we couldn‘t get cell service we ended up sitting across from the fish tank and watching the fish and making up stories about their personalities. The big black one ( he had green fins that you can‘t really see) was a real bully. It kept chasing all the other fish around. My mom said the other fish were just prejudiced against the black fish, lol. I said, noooooo!!! It‘s a bully, it‘s color doesn‘t matter!! Anywhoo, MRI of my knee needed 👇🏽

💙💙💙💙

I throughly enjoyed this book. It was a very good thriller/mystery that had me stumped...
