Welcome to Litsy!

Sneaking in a second entry this morning for #hitthesack as a public service announcement to any Litsy parents of newborns or toddlers, nannies, nursery teachers… I swear reading this (to yourselves not little angels 😇 😈) will make you feel slightly more sane. #idiominsight @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I got the audio when it was first released years ago, but I don't think I ever listened to it before!

What to read before bed?? 🤔😴

Let‘s be real though: I rarely fall asleep before 2!

My bedtime story last night. It‘s like a child‘s book but for adults. 😆

It's a joke book effectively for parents, so take it is as it is. Still, it's pretty one note-y.

I‘m gonna start posting this after every 1 and 2-star review I give out!

Not me currently awake after 3am...

Our family draws names for jolabokaflod. I got the tagged book for my other half. He's not one to read for pleasure but he had a good laugh reading this one. It's pretty timely and relevant given that our almost 2 year old is starting to give us the runaround at bedtime now.😅 My oldest son gifted me Murder Thy Neighbor which looks really good!😬

Coffee & looking at my Christmas Tree🎄

Bedtime story with my favorite word 🖕🏻😝

TFW you are asked to listen Samuel L. Jackson read Go the F**k to Sleep for your grad school class #libraryschool

You can view here: https://youtu.be/Udj-o2m39NA

I think the tagged book explains this dog‘s mood well enough. #WicketsWorld #DogsOfLitsy

‪Someone is vexed, because he thinks it‘s bedtime. #WicketsWorld ‬#DogsOfLitsy

My girlfriend gave me this book the first time my grandchildren (step grandchildren) had a sleepover at my place and I laughed out loud.
Just don‘t let the little ones read it!!

That annoyed look Wicket gets when he‘s ready for his people to go the f*ck to sleep. #WicketsWorld #DogsOfLitsy

I had to take a break to make the baby dinner before I could start my next read (though I did get to drink my tea at least!), but this is how far along I‘ve gotten so far today. Once little dude goes down for the night (hence the tagged book), it‘s back to the #readathon! 📚🤓 #24in48

😂🤣

https://www.modcloth.com/shop/books ModCloth has some great #novelty books. The tagged book is not listed- but should have been required reading for teens. #gratitude30

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a parent with five kids all under twelve and two of which are 4. This book made both their father and I laugh out loud. If you can stand a little profanity and can have a bit of humor about life and parenting, I highly recommend this book 💗💗💗

It can be so hard trying to force myself to sleep during the day. The exciting thing is we're having a baby shower at work tonight! I usually don't take selfies but my brain is too tired for a more creative interpretation of Day 2 #selfie so here's me with a Snapchat filter 😂 #SisforSeptember

Go The Fuck To Sleep🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒
By Adam Mansbach
Illustrated by Ricardo Cortes
2011

We've all been there --- an adult version of a children's book.
I thought it was hilarious, nicely illustrated but hearing Samuel L. Jackson narrate was classic. Check it out on YouTube.
It's a stress reducer!

📚 tagged. I do not have children however I have 13 nieces and nephews between the ages of 15 and two weeks old and this book is so funny and accurate to parenting especially during those toddler years.
👨🏽‍💻 Gregory Maguire
📺 Grey‘s Anatomy. I‘ve watched every y episode multiple times
🍇 especially moondrop grapes. So delicious

#HeatOfJuly #ISwear jet lag and travel is a 🤬🤬🤬nightmare but totally worth it!! Almost home 🙌🏻

@Trashcanman not a book specific one, but this one always makes me laugh
#literarymeme #bookmeme

I really should be sleeping, but I just can't..

I really love exchanging and I am sad I missed out on the hometown exchange. Would anyone that missed out, be interested in doing one? Anyone?? It could lead to a new friend/penpal. Instead of hometown I would call it Hellofrom . I love experiencing different places since I don't get to other states much #litsyswap #litsyswapidea
I will try to go to sleep now ..

#Sleep #coolbooks @Linsy

This book made me laugh so hard, mostly because it's true!

And that's a wrap on my #readathon today. 3 books finished and an audiobook started. Thanks to @DeweysReadathon for a great event. I think Shadow and I are ready for bed 😁

It feels like a stay up all night and read night. But the Ambien has other ideas and is pretty much screaming the title of this book.

1:23 am & I‘m nowhere near tired ...

#LitsyAfterDark

So funny!!! And true!

1. 🌨️😟+👶📣🌌😴
2. Instead I'll talk characters I hated in my 2018 reading: the landowner in Elmet, Karou, Murderbot, Lady Helen's uncle, Kellaway in Joe Hill's Loaded
3. Balanced on the sink, come at me.
4. No

#friyayintro @jesshowbooks

Sock situation.

Books, books everywhere and not a one to read! ? Finished my book last night and can't seem to settle into a new one. I have 3 days off, so I hope something calls out to me. I dislike being in the "book hole"!
Nighty night friends...sweet dreams! ? ?? #whattoreadnext

🤬 #ThisRemindsMeOf Go The F**k To Sleep by Adam Mansbach 🤣
#BookNerd 📚💙

While I‘d never say this to her, I thought you guys would appreciate the sleeping seven-year-old darling on my lap tonight. She needs to leave and her dad just keeps getting sidetracked. #imapillow #wesnuggle

I was going to pull out some of M‘s old bedtime picture books for the #rockabye prompt, and get mushy and sentimental. But then I remembered this gem. 😝

#DecDays

As an adult parody children's book, this story was chuckle worthy but just okay. As read by Samuel L Jackson, it's hilarious. In case you missed it, I'll post the link below. #odetosleep #tuneintonovember

In honor of #odetosleep tonight, I played Owen the YouTube video of Samuel L. Jackson reading this book. He giggled all the way through it. I tucked him in with Sophie 😻 snuggled up and told him “now go the fuck to sleep.” 😂

I‘m watching @Ambrosnazzy ‘s son this morning, and he‘s been bringing me books to read. He brought this from the stack, and I quickly brought out my best grandmother distracting tactics 😂 This is hysterical, but clearly not approved bedtime-or any time-reading with a toddler!

Getting in on the #cult5 fun. Honestly, I had to look up cult books to figure out what they were actually considered lol so huge thanks to #Goodreads for helping me make my list! Special mention on here for Go The F*CK to Sleep....I had to add it when I saw it on the list 😂 Other than that, I went with the classics
