Friday's Child | 
pickI am a HUGE fan of the marriage of convenience trope, so even though this book has a few issues, I tend to gloss over them. :-D
Full review on my blog at some point; link in bio.

Quite new to Litsy, but here is my first post!!!!
Working on my vacation #TBR, and a reread of Friday's Child is high on the priority list. I love rereads for vacations - no stress about how things are going to turn out!
#litsywelcomewagon - any tips or insights are quite appreciated as I feel my way around this new site!!
1. 😂🤷🏼♀️⭐️ - I like to laugh and star my book choices. And I have kids. 😜
2. One of my cousins is graduating high school. She was born 2 months after *I* graduated. 😳
3. Tonight was my youngest‘s preschool promotion! I‘ll have a kindergartener again very soon. 🙂
4. Eldest of 5.
5. Here I come, just barely still on Friday! #friyayintro

This week‘s #friyayintro is brought to you with a little help from Nov of 2017. I asked people to ask their own question, and I saved a few of my fave answers!
So this time you can answer some fun questions from @BarbaraTheBibliophage @emtobiasz @Melissa_J & @youneverarrived ! & then ask your own question at the end. 🙂
(You can tag them if ya want, but if it‘s too much work, just tag #friyayintro to make sure it gets seen!)
1. Maybe not bring back, but I‘d live the 00s again—probably my most difficult but also most rewarding decade. Grad school, first “career” job (publishing/editorial), then packing it in to move to South Africa for 3 years!
2. Print! I enjoy audiobooks for lighter fiction, though.
3. Older by 5 years.
4. Almost 💯miles exactly. I lived MUCH farther away for over 1/4 of my life, but have been back in SoCal for almost 10 years.
5.👍🏼💜
#friyayintro
1. Truthfully, none of them, except maybe the fashion of the 1920s.
2. I‘m still a paper person, although I do use my Kindle a lot.

2. I do get overambitious—since I‘ve got a preschooler maybe I‘ll say 5 and hope for more?
3. Both! I love winter for the crisp, cold air and snow. I love summer for the heavy, sweet air and warm sun.
4. Susan Aglukark. She was on a raft in the middle of this quarry and the effect was extremely cool.
#friyayintro @jesshowbooks
1.) That‘s a hard one. The Little Mermaid. Snow Queen is runner up for sure, though.
2.) Monsters Inc. I loved Shrek as a child but as an adult, I much prefer Sully and Mike.
