1. I do love the snow! It makes everything so pretty! And as long as I don‘t have to drive in it, I‘m good. ❄️
2. I love to throw snowballs, catch snowflakes on my tongue, and play with my dog in the snow. Then I go inside and get warm! ❄️

Thanks again @JessClark78 for the tag! #two4tuesday

1. I like the classics by the original artists, like Rockin‘ Around the Christmas Tree and Jingle Bell Rock. I also love the classics covered by rockers, like Santa Claus Is Coming To Town by Springsteen. Also the originals by today‘s artists, like Santa Tell Me by Ariana Grande and Like It‘s Christmas by The Jonas Brothers. 🎶
2. Fresh Christmas trees! 🎄

Forgot to post this yesterday…oops! Better late than never, right? #two4tuesday

1. I do like a good witch story! 🧙🏻‍♀️
2. Don‘t know if I have a favorite, but Practical Magic is the first one that came to my mind. And I am looking forward to The Ex Hex, which may be a new fave, according to what I‘ve heard about it!

#two4tuesday

1. That‘s a hard question. But I think the diversity now (characters and authors) is a great thing! It‘s nice that there‘s so much more representation and that more voices are being heard.
2. No, I‘m pretty hopeless at it! 😂

1. I don‘t read many books about sports, but my favorite when I was younger was Mary Lou Retton‘s autobiography. And I‘ve read a couple of books about Kentucky basketball.
2. Kentucky b-ball or gymnastics. I don‘t watch often.

@TheSpineView thanks for the tag… I spent yesterday at the beach so I‘m a day late posting!

1. Over 500 pages 📖
2. I prefer to read, but if available, I may alternate the print version with the audio. 🎧

#two4tuesday

1. Not really. I‘ve probably done that in a used bookstore before buying a book, but it‘s not a habit that I have. 👃🏻
2. That‘s a hard no. Between my 2 current reads, all the characters are pretty horrible! 🚫

#two4tuesday I forgot to post yesterday!

1. No! I feel like it would ruin the book for me if I did.
2. I finished Flowers In the Attic yesterday, which was a reread, so didn‘t learn anything new. But the first time I read it as a preteen, I learned what arsenic was and what it could slowly do to you. And of course, I learned that grandmothers are not always warm and fuzzy, and that mothers could and would cast aside their own children for money.

1. A lot of the time. I don‘t read in detail but will skim the end in fiction books.
2. I learned more about the different women in Greek mythology than I knew before. (A Thousand Ships)

#two4tuesday

1. I loved reading to my girls when they were young! ❤️
2. I‘ve never done that and it probably wouldn‘t have occurred to me to do so. Maybe because my parents never did that when I was growing up? 🤷🏻‍♀️

1. Elizabeth Bennet - I‘d love to hear her opinions on modern society!
2. Back in time for sure!

#two4tuesday

1. No, but I have alternated chapters between an audiobook and it‘s print version.
2. Yes! I don‘t have to put in my contacts! 😂👀

1. For years, I‘ve listened to books on CD from the library. It started when I was doing in-home therapy & traveling a lot. Most of my coworkers used books to reduce the boredom of traveling. I made the change to Libby a couple of years ago when I got a car that doesn‘t have a CD player. Still have the option at home if Libby has a long hold time & it‘s available on CD.
2. No
#two4tuesday @TheSpineView

#two4tuesday

1. The way things have been going lately, it‘d be “Oh, Hell No!” 🙅🏻‍♀️
2. Don‘t know if this counts because they‘re trees, but I just love when the cherry blossoms bloom. It makes my heart happy! 🌸

#two4tuesday

1. No plans to go anywhere or do anything special. But I will be making Guinness Irish Stew and Irish soda bread, as well as watching the movie Leap Year. Those are my little St. Patrick‘s Day traditions! ☘️
2. I literally just started Love, Hate, and Other Filters, so I can‘t say I‘d change anything. 📚

1. I usually enjoy short stories.
2. I participate in 1-2 book clubs through my library, depending on my work schedule. One is a traditional book club, & the other is usually a time to talk about what we have been reading & some books related to the monthly podcast theme (Books and Bites). Both have been virtual for a year. #two4tuesday @TheSpineView

#two4tuesday

1. I do! They are pretty hit-or-miss for me though! 🖋
2. The only book club I‘m in is #PemberLittens here on Litsy! 📚

#two4tuesday

1. I‘m a sucker for books set in New York City! 📚
2. Nope! As long as I‘m enjoying the book, it doesn‘t matter to me. 😊

1. Outer space or other planets.
2. Being a guy, I usually tend toward books with a male lead character. If it's well written, I don't really care. Some female authors can't write male perspectives well, and many male authors are crap at writing female characters.

1. I‘ve done classes/seminars before, but it‘s been a long time. And when my girls were little, we‘d do story time. 😊
2. Not usually, but I know I have in the past. 📚

#two4tuesday

1. Possibly! 😉 And truth be told, I may buy myself a book for Valentine‘s!
2. Yes! At least one. ❤️

2. Nope.

1. I have done some challenges that increased my reading diversity. I like to do at least one short challenge a year.
2. I‘m doing my library‘s book challenge (they started doing one last yr), but the prompts are harder this time. They have prizes involved though! I also love #bookspin. #two4tuesday @TheSpineView

#two4tuesday

1. I ❤️ reading challenges! They help me broaden my reading horizons. They make me read genres and authors I wouldn‘t have read otherwise. I have discovered some great reads thanks to reading challenges! 📚
2. PopSugar and #booked2021 and the monthly set your own goals readathon hosted by @Andrew65 are my top 3 faves! 😊

1. I just got Clanlands for Christmas & plan to read it in January.
2. No regrets
#two4tuesday @TheSpineView

#two4tuesday

1. No. Because of #wintergames, I‘ve been reading all holiday books this month. Whatever I don‘t get to I‘ll read next year! 🎄
2. Not really! 😊

1. A friend & I exchanged gifts a few days ago.
2. Yes, I‘m hoping to read a lot on Christmas Eve & some on Christmas.
#two4tuesday @TheSpineView

#Two4Tuesday

1. I have gotten great books from @OriginalCyn620 and I have purchased books for others. (Shipping delays mean they haven‘t made it to their recipients, but they were meant to be early Christmas gifts)

2. I‘m sure I will this year. With everything else being weird this year at least books are always there.

@TheSpineView

#two4tuesday

1. Yes to both! I have given @MallenNC and @EmilyM their bookish gifts already. And I have received a bookish gift from @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks. I‘ve gotten a gift from my in-laws already as well as from my husband. He gave me a snowflake charm for my Tiffany bracelet! 🎄
2. Normally, I wouldn‘t have time to read, but since we are not doing any get-togethers with family, I can probably squeeze in some reading time! 📚

#two4tuesday

1. So far, Never Kiss a Man In a Christmas Sweater. The movie was cute too but very different. 🎄
2. The best way for me to listen to audiobooks is while driving. If I try to do things around the house, I get distracted and stop paying attention! 😂

Greetings from snowy Kentucky! I‘m still working from home, so I have a cuddly cat in my lap & don‘t have to go outside.
1. 12 Dates Of Christmas
2. I only asked for 2 things, which I know I‘m getting. The book Clanlands & an RBG shirt.
@TheSpineView #two4tuesday

Oops, forgot to post this last night! #two4tuesday

1. I should be able to read some since our Thanksgiving is low-key this year! 📚
2. Thanksgiving weekend! 🎄

#Two4Tuesday

1. This year yes! Usually i dont have time but this year well....2020 🙃
2. My sons birthday is December 3rd so usually that weekend! 🎄

Tagging anyone who wants to play!

#two4tuesday

1. Do mythical ones count! If so, I‘d totally choose Marigold Heavenly Nostrils from the Phoebe and Her Unicorn books! 🦄
2. Some, not a lot. Because the South! We‘ve had some freak snowstorms here in NC, though. ❄️

#two4tuesday

1. I have 2 faux fur throws and I just love them because they feel so luxurious! But as long as a throw is big and soft, I‘m good! 😊
2. Not really. At this point, I‘m just kinda going with the flow. 😉

#two4tuesday

1. I‘m not really sure what to expect this year! NC has urged parents not to send their kids trick-or-treating this year, but that doesn‘t mean they‘ll listen. 🤷🏻‍♀️

2. I do! My phone wallpaper is a Golden Retriever puppy poking his head out of a jack-o-lantern. Very cute! 🎃

1. My favorite costume was Catwoman. My mom made it, & I wore the cape & ears a lot after Halloween to play in.
2. I don‘t remember any Halloween books, but I‘ve always loved It‘s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
@TheSpineView #two4tuesday

1. For fall 🍁
2. Nope...not sure why but I don‘t 🤔

#Two4Tuesday

1. I keep up with my books pretty well, so the most unusual place I‘ve found one is probably just in the kitchen.

2. Here are Pippa and Kate. They like to be nearby when I‘m reading. My previous cat loved books and would sit on the one I was trying to read.

@TheSpineView

#CatsofLitsy

#two4tuesday

1. I don‘t think I‘ve ever found a book in an unusual place! 🤷🏻‍♀️
2. This is actually my spot on the couch but Max stole it when I got up to get something. Usually I‘m sitting there and he cuddles up beside me! 🐶❤️

1. I like both, as long as it‘s not too creepy. I don‘t like scary books but a little creepiness is fine.
2. In order: Vampires, Witches, and in distant third, zombies.

Thanks for tagging me @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheSpineView

Folding the page 😭🤦🏽‍♀️

I do especially in reading with kids and teens, it creates so much dialog ❤️

Thanks for the tags @MallenNC @Eggs @TheSpineView
#two4tuesday

1. Tearing pages or dog-earing them, spilling food or liquids on the pages, tearing dust jackets or paperback covers. Oddly enough, I don‘t mind a cracked spine but all that other stuff bugs the crap out of me! 🤬
2. I do, especially dogs! 🐶

Miss Christine it‘s Tuesday today.

Theme of 2020

🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ good morning everyone

Here are my #Two4Tuesday answers!

1. Not often, but I am sure I have if I really loved the book. I definitely bought a hard copy of The Stationery Shop after listening to the audiobook because the cover was so pretty.

2. No new habits other than reading even more than I used to! It is nice to have a group that understands reading a lot isn‘t weird. Unless #BookSpinBingo is a book habit. I am loving adding to those bingo cards.

@TheSpineView

#two4tuesday

1. I haven‘t for a book that I‘ve borrowed. I have quite a few times read a book on my Kindle and then bought a physical copy because I loved it! 📚
2. After joining Litsy, I started keeping track of the books I read, both on GR and with a reading journal. 🖋
