☝️This is how I‘m feeling.
For everyone who has tagged me or commented on one of my posts in the last week, I‘m not deliberately ignoring you. I‘ve had to come to Adelaide to take care of my parents who are struggling at the moment. I don‘t have any time, energy or, indeed, brain space for Litsying or even reading right now.
This is the kind of stupid stuff you do when retired. I believe I outsmarted ChatGPT with a long division problem. It actually apologized to me THREE times until it came up with the correct answer. I wouldn't worry about AI taking over our lives. Yet. 👀🤩😎
The Birthday Fairies wish to send the happiest of birthday wishes to @WorldsOkayestStepMom on her special day! We hope you have a day filled with everything you love! And lots of books!!

This was my second display in my new role as Library officer at our school. ❤️💛🖤
Keep up the momentum for change. Be a voice for generations. The theme encourages all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways in our everyday lives -where we live, work and socialise. For the work of generations past and the benefit of generations future, act today for a more just equitable and reconciled country for all. ⬇️

Don‘t be afraid to show your true colors. Don‘t turn into a grey dull version of yourself just because you are afraid. Your bright bold self is beautiful and deserves to be seen. - buddha

Quick question: Do any of you find it difficult when a literature list of best children's books includes both picture and chapter ones? I just don't know how to compare THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR with THE LORD OF THE RINGS in the same list. How about best picture books and best chapter books? Or am I being too anal? Here's the link:

June 2023 #bookspin bingo board. Since I still don‘t know what I feel like reading most days, I‘m using spaces for my physical TBR shelf to try & get through some of them. I have spaces open for audio books since I‘ll see what I can borrow from the library/Libby. We are going to the beach at the end of the month so now I need to decide what to bring (I need good books to deflect my MIL who is also renting a house at the same beach).
Here is my June #BookSpinBingo board. With the placement of the free spaces this month, there is no reason why I can't manage multiple bingos. Time will tell. Note that I need to finish Space to a vertical bingo in the far right column. I have been working on it since January. Will this be the month I finally finish it?

Found on poetrysoup.com and the Poet is Scott37. I enjoyed this poem and wished I knew the full name of the Poet so I could give the person proper credit.

🎶Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I‘ll be watching you🎶
I couldn‘t find a book that works for this photo, but I just had to post this pic from my daughter‘s day in the Jewish quarter in Rome. This is the Great Synagogue in Rome. It‘s beautiful!
This month's #bookspin list! I'll be spending the next couple of months purging and packing for an upcoming move, but hopefully I'll still have some time to do some reading (and maybe get a few books off my shelves??).

A last minute revamp of my #bookspin especially for Pride month. The books marked with an asterix are ones that were already on the list. @TheAromaofBooks
Updated my bullet journal for may! And got my June #bookspin list ready to go!
24 books finished during May, with 9053 pages read.
Good to get through a number of Denzil Meyrick books during May, but only 1 #AuthorAMonth book. I prefer crime fiction to crime non-fiction. @Soubhiville
15 #SeriesLove2023 Books @TheSpineView
However didn‘t get to any Chunksters, but did I read 2 non-fiction books.
Happy birthday to @Librarybelle and @persephone1408 ! The Birthday Fairies are wishing Jess and Jenna lots of fun and happy memories today!!

Of the 17 books I read in May these were my top 12. Don‘t let the cow wearing clothes, communicable diseases, or near starvation fool you. May was an excellent reading month.

Another literary one, and a fun one to say out loud! 😃

1. THE ILIAD, though the version I read wasn't published in BCE. 🤣
2. I think 3 is a good minimum to maybe 7. I gave up on the Stephanie Plum series by J. Evanovitch and the Alphabet series by Sue Grafton because there were just too damn many of them, and the same plot devices got old.
3. The HARRY POTTER series and the LORD OF THE RINGS series. I loved being in those worlds.
Wanna play @TheLudicReader and @BkLover?
Every time.
Is anyone else participating in the #QueerLitReadathon in June? I think I went a little overboard with building a TBR 😬
