June #Roll100 audiobook rolls. 🎧
Since I‘ve read 42, I dropped down to 43. All three are #SeriesLove2025 books.
#WeeklyUpdate
Been sick and haven‘t read as much. 4 audiobooks, my #ReadOrDonate book and the #NoPlaceLikeHolmes story.
I wanted to brag about my oldest. He has been inducted (as a Junior) into Phi Kappa Phi Honors Fraternity at his university. He has worked so hard the last few years. He was a kid that struggled with his anxiety & ADHD all through elementary school (we had one teacher tell us he‘d never make it to college). Now I look at all of his accomplishments: this, Dean‘s list. He‘s studying Wildlife Biology & Conservation. He‘s told us he wants to pursue

1. Feeling decent today. A little bit of pain in my knee is all. I had my first injection in my back Thursday, so I am trying to cut back on my meds. Fingers crossed that the injections work.
2. I have a doctor's appointment Thursday as a follow-up to the injection. I hope I am finally cleared to ride again. That will be the best for my mental health.

Pleased with my #JumpStartSummer weekend. Despite spending 4 1/2 hours on Eurovision 🤣, I met my goals of reading Erasure and Floating Hotel, listened to a couple of hours of Great Big Beautiful Life, cleaned a bunch of short reads off my ereader and am in chapter five of Paladin's Strength. Will certainly read for at least another hour tonight, but might as well post now.

You can't see me (thank goodness!), but I'm just to the left of Katie, getting ready to finish Nancy Drew's THE QUEST OF THE MISSING MAP (just a wee bit behind with the #NancyDrewBR). Katie has settled in nicely next to me. Let the hygge begin in 17 minutes. 😍 #misssquashedface

I spent my hour starting a new puzzle while listening to an audio book, Flame. ❤️🎧📖🧩

Having nightmares of
uncontrollable classrooms.
I'll no longer sub.
P. S. And it's my 4th year of retirement. 🤣
Not. Okay.
There is a trend going around BookTok about what about a book will immediately cause you to not read a book (keeping in mind there is always exceptions like favorite authors)
It could be anything from page length, topics, style of writing, format.
What are your big turnoffs? Mine in the comments.
My brain was too tired for my current book (The Floating Hotel) so I read a bunch of little free stories that were cluttering up my ereader, mostly extra epilogues to romances. I don't know why I bother, they're hardly ever worth reading, but at least I did a lot of deleting. I don't even like digital clutter!

Carnivore by Justin Boote. Human remains are being found around the town; some are what appears to be the work of a serial killer, others are…eaten? Are the wild animals attacking humans?
Books of Horror Indie Author Brawl! This was fun, but it had some grammar issues and the story was a bit choppy. The gore was great though.

The Phantom of the Opera
was lonely for love
Christine was his muse.
Like some of you already know, I also love Phantom of the Opera (2004 starring Gerard Butler).

Thanks to @JenlovesJT47 for inspiring me to make some movie haikus!
I love this movie.

Another hot 🥵 day in the Austin area 🔥
Two errands and a walk outside are my morning activities. The last 6 months have been a whirlwind and I want nothing more than to selfishly lose myself in a book 📖 !!

It is storming this morning. Thunderstorms scare my dogs so I have been comforting them with cuddles. I have tried thunder shirts to no avail. They are finally dying down and I can get on with things. My plans are to get a bit of housework done this morning. Lunch with my bestie, which will certainly involve alcohol. Afterward, I hope to have some time to myself later in the afternoon.

Today‘s Norway‘s National Day. We celebrate our constitution from 1814.
We celebrate with the children‘s parade, so this is seen as the kids day where they can eat all the ice cream and hot dogs that they like
So to any Norwegian in here: Happy Birthday
And I hope everyone has a great day
I forgot to participate in #threelistthursday last week so I‘m posting this on a Friday night. This week‘s list is books that were published in the 1800s. I‘m posting what I read and my thoughts about the books. My score for this is 7 of 100 - 7%.
Good news for Boots! She let the vet drawn her blood this time & her labs came back looking good. Her chronic kidney disease hadn‘t gotten significantly worse (some of her numbers have improved!) We still need to get her urine tested, but overall she is doing well. Can‘t believe she‘ll be 16 in July!
