Anyone using the bookly app? I have found that it really helps me carve out my reading time, especially since I‘ve been struggling with focus a lot more these days.

So update on my rainbow baby she's a girl, I'm 24 weeks and surprisingly nothing is wrong so far so excited. She loves to kick non stop, somersault it's so cute. She seems to like it when I play Kpop and audiobooks on my belly too. We're trying to choose between Aquamarina Helena Elizabeth or Athena Helena Elizabeth for her name too. For those of you who don't know she's our maricle after 5 miscarriages, being told I can't have babies and

Thanks for the tag! @PageShifter 😊

1. Definitely! I just finished reading Sour Candy today, and the cover goes with the story. 😃 👍

2. No. Most of the times it does. This time it didn't. I just was in the mood for a short horror, and was glad I wasn't disappointed. 🙌

I only completed three books this month, and none of them excited me. The Maid was the best of the three, but hopefully June will be better!

Matches will be posted by tomorrow at PST midnight and sent out :) doing them Alone. So I apologize for lateness

I deal with adhd and mental health but you are there to help me every day good days and the bad that follow

#ThoughtfulThursday @MoonWitch94 @EadieB

1. Not the Witch You Wed
2. Ebook
3. 3 stars because I‘m just starting it
4. Sometimes if it‘s my book, but most of my books are from the library, so no.

Now that I‘ve finally read ‘em all, I can post my #Booked2022 Winter edition summary:

1. About a cult or religion-Cultish
2. Title repeats-The Sea, the Sea
3. Set in China-Do Not Say We Have Nothing
4. Weather term in title-Cloud Cuckoo Land
5. From Black owned publishers-Maud Martha
6. Non-patriarchal society-Outlawed

Now on to the rest!

Found on the internet. I say yes, and for me, also read some books that might be outside of your normal reading comfort zone.

Finally decided on my May #bookspin list. Was waiting to see what books I had preordered from Barnes & Noble that were being Released this week but none have shipped yet. I don‘t know what I have preordered because I went a little crazy during the last couple 25% off preorder sales. 🤦🏻‍♀️ But I am excited for the numbers to be drawn tomorrow. Thanks for putting this together every month Sarah!

Someone on social media decided to flick the chip on my shoulder today. BUT... I took a breath, kept silent & just posted this photo instead of losing my peace of mind. I do have a huge migraine, though. 😭
Please, think before you speak. Respect others. It's NOT difficult to do. If you don't know if something is disrespectful, don't act/stay quiet!

There's no platform like Litsy! I love you, guys! 😘 ❤ #litsylove

What do you think, guys?
😊 I'm working on that book of poetry. You guys convinced me. 🤗 ❤

I just wanted to share 2 songs with such a positive message:

✅ It's just a bad day NOT a bad life.

✅ I ain't there yet BUT I'm healing.

Listen & share.

And that‘s a wrap on #bookspinbingo for April! Thanks for putting this together every month Sarah. Can‘t wait until next month!

Right now I‘m going mental and buying lots of ebooks. I‘ve gotten so many “next in series” books that I‘ve lost count 🤣🤣🤣 So, any suggestions? Which authors should I support?

1. I don‘t celebrate Easter
2. I am having a good reading month so far
3. I am grateful for having this Friday off

#ThingsInCommon @Clwojick

I finished The Big Man Upstairs yesterday. Today I plan to start Hyperion. The thing they have in common is they are both on my #BookSpinBingo list for April. Also they are both books I own and are part of my effort to read my own shelves.

Happy Pub Day!!

I would say Alex Deleware or Alex Cross ....so many to choose but it's so hard to pick

1. Wordle. The other word app I liked, a text twist kind, stopped being updated & I finally had to delete it. I‘ll play scrabble, CAH, or other table top games when I have a group to play with.

2. . . . long walks in the fresh spring air & enjoying all the green greens and beautiful flowers.

3. Skyhunter & The Nature of Witches

Thanks for the tag @Eggs 😀

Just downloaded StoryGraph and love that they have a reading personality tracker.

I uploaded a handful of books from this year and already my reading personality shows that I am a reader who loves to reflect.

It‘s one thing to unconsciously know this, another to see your preferences being captured so vividly in a graph.

Is anyone else on StoryGraph? What has your experience been like?

Still in the process of moving. Since it's in the same complex, (I can literally see the apt from my bedroom window), we've been moving books little by little since we already have the key. I don't want to deal with boxes & movers damaging them, lol. So here is what we've done so far. Still a lot more to go. I'm worried about the bookshelves, though. I hope they don't damage them. I'll use tape this time to avoid it. Any advice? 6 days left. 😩

When your basket already full from the library 😂🥰📚#libraryhaul

My father passed away in November 2021. He had numerous health problems, but one of the more prominent ones was his end stage kidney failure. And even though my dad‘s fight is over and he‘s at rest I want to continue to help the people that helped us. And the people who are fighting this terrible disease. There are ways that the book community can help. Let‘s use our books for a cause.

Yay! My #SpringEquinoxSwap package is here!! @AmyG Thank you so much!! I can‘t wait to open it.

Sorry for the weird picture. Strong winds have downed lots of power lines here in Atlanta, and my power is out 😩

My March reading journal spread might possibly be my favorite spread that I‘ve ever made. I love the vintage book look and that‘s what I was going for in this one. Plus, it was super easy to do, and a ton of fun.

1. The One by: Kiera Cass 📘, The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by: Lisa See🎧📕

My new book haul...

This is such an awesome story. 💜 This makes my heart so happy.

This 8 year old wrote a book and slipped it into his library‘s shelves. Now there‘s a 55 person waitlist for this original work and this budding author is working on 2 new stories.
