#funfriYay @Kshakal thank you for the tag @HappilyEverKrafter

I totally am drawn in by covers, sometimes it the only reason I pick up a book🤷🏼‍♀️
I am reading The Sentence right now and no, it‘s geometric which is not my aesthetic at all. I like the cover to reflect the story.

#funfriyay
1. Sometimes. The combined cover and title draw me in first.
2. No,the books I'm reading now were picked from discrptions or next books in series.
@HappilyEverKrafter

Historical events in grade school...the Cold War was a big thing at that time, I recall being afraid to sleep because of nuclear war. But also computers became available in the school library, that was exciting! (Texas Instruments) 3. The cold cure at my house was liquids and rest. 4. Off to find a Litten!

#FriYayIntro

1. I‘ve always read, so I don‘t remember the first book. I do remember that it was Pawn of the Prophecy by David Eddings that introduced me to epic fantasy. But that was in 5th grade and I know I read a lot before then. Too bad goodreads wasn‘t around then! 😂
2. The Challenger disaster in Jan. 1986. I was 10.
3. Soup, hot tea, & lots of tissues
4. 👋🏻 Happy Friday!

1. Having my babies 👦🏼👦🏼 (and my wedding 💍)

@4thhouseontheleft @howjessreads #FRIYAYINTRO

1. I have two. I married @Taotev in 2011 and gave birth to my son in 2015.
2. This year I‘m focusing on quality and what I really want to read rather than numbers. I also want write more myself.
3. Not really, just snacks. We do usually have salmon with cream cheese, capers, and red onion on baguette so probably that? 🤷‍♀️
@4thhouseontheleft @howjessreads #friyayintro

1. Family! Got married (2010), Kid #1 (2014), Kid #2 (2017) - Whew!
2. 20 books...keeping it simple, will probably exceed a bit, but just trying to enjoy and tackle some long-standing TBRs.
3. Nope! We hosted some friends this year, and I made some easy - and yummy - french toast pull apart bread.
