Welcome to Litsy!

#bookreport
I made good progress this week, even though my reading took a backseat to other projects over the weekend. I really enjoyed both The Sentence and Several People are Typing for the #tob.

#weeklyforecast
I‘m hitting the Jenny Han book for book club and hope to knock the other two off of my #tob list. And maybe I‘ll get one more audio book in.

A good snow = a great week of reading.

Can‘t believe it‘s the weekend already—this week went by so fast! I read a lot this week and finished:

The Power of Fun
Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking
Strange Weather in Tokyo
The Windsor Knot
Thank you, Mr. Nixon

Thank you, Mr. Nixon is my first Gish Jen and it is a short story collection! So I‘ve read 3 short story books this year! I‘m looking forward to reading a couple of her other books, especially The Resisters and Tiger Writing.

Combining my #bookreport with #weekendreading for @Andrew65 ☺️
I had a pretty good week, helped by an extra couple of days off work. I don‘t know if I‘ll finish any of my in progress reads today. Bailey is in my lap, so I can‘t hold a print book. I may just binge watch true crime stuff on Hulu. 🤣 The narrator on the Anne Frank audio is a little dry, so it‘s a bit of a struggle. Paris Noir & The Christie Affair are good so far.

Another fab week… somewhat taken over by On Paradise but I *think* I liked The Trees better.

The two recipe books were immediately available on Libby so I skimmed through them and took a couple of screenshots from each.

I wasn‘t going to read another Kingsolver for #aam (they‘re sooo long!) but this one is my fave so far, so I‘m glad I picked it up. I can see that Crying in H Mart (on audio) is only going to get more upsetting as it goes along.

Should finish the Coben one today, needed a series comfort read.
Enjoyed the others this week, though Betty was a heart breaker 💔

#bookreport
The New Year continues to include tons of reading. I loved When We Cease to Understand the World and really enjoyed Tiny Habits and Intimacies. The Supper Club book was a nice light read.

#weeklyforecast
It‘s probably all #tob reading for me this week. I‘m totally enjoying the audio of The Sentence. And I caved and bought the Ozeki, because my library hold prospects weren‘t good.

This is my first ever #BookReport - I‘m hoping to keep doing this as one way to increase my Litsy-specific content and interactions in 2022! 💖💖

#BookReport
Finished four books this week!
📚 The Inugami Curse #JanuaryinJapan
📚 The Beadworkers
📚 Ida B. the Queen
📚 Avidly Reads Poetry #NetGalley #arc

I like short story collections lately—I‘ve already read two this year: Terminal Boredom and The Beadworkers. Every story in The Beadworkers was great, and I especially liked Beading Lesson.

Not a bad reading week - cleared 2 books from my NetGalley queue, read the first of my #NYWD22 books, and checked off a couple more challenge boxes. I don‘t know if I‘ll finish any of my new reads today. The odds are not in my favor as I started a 30 day food elimination/dietary reset protocol on Wednesday. The detox from sugar and processed foods is no joke. 🤢😴😡😭
#bookreport

I had a GREAT reading week!!! Two books from my #NYWD list and all 5 books worked for multiple reading challenges💚
The clear cut winner was To Paradise. I‘m dying to discuss this book with all my Litsy friends!!!! My poor hubby got an earful last night until he had to say “ Please, stop.”

#bookreport

So many fabulous books this week! The top 3, I finished in the week; two from my #nywd list and Louding was a #buddyread.

Bellman & Black, and Yellow Bird are also from my #nywd list, and the Kingsolver is for #authoramonth. And last, but definitely not least, I‘m going to read some more of ‘To Paradise‘ this afternoon. It hasn‘t got above freezing here today so the afternoon consists of reading by the fire!

#bookreport
Started a new series with Scared to Death(because you know I needed to!)
Love The Girl- great read.
Half way through To Paradise- should be my weekends focus after catching up on all the other stuff that hasn‘t been done this week! It‘s such a read ❤️

#BookReport

I fell asleep before posting this last night. I enjoyed all of my reads from the week.

#BookReport @Cinfhen

#bookreport
Another great reading week for me in terms of quantity. I enjoyed All‘s Well and Drowned Girls, but not so much the other two.

#weeklyforecast
I‘ve got two books in progress, and then I‘ll be tackling two more from the #tob shortlist. I have high hopes for Intimacies based on the #litsylove it has already garnished.

For once, I definitely posted my #bookreport too early. I got a fair amount of reading done and several countries checked off the Africa list, so here‘s part 2 of my book report. 🥰 I‘m still way behind the “plan” but it feels good to have books finished.

#BookReport Some great books to start the year!

#JanuaryInJapan
Terminal Boredom
Heaven

The Last Rose of Shanghai
The Subtweet 🎧
Body and Soul Food
Bull Shit Jobs 🎧

#bookreport

The top 3 are all from my #nywd list from @LeeRHarry - such a great list, I‘m loving them all! (Review of Tiddas to follow soon). Dignity is my only ongoing book currently, also from my #nywd list. I‘m not very far into this at the moment and had hoped to lose myself in it this weekend but I‘m having to work instead. 🙄

The two graphic books were very short so took no time to read and I also loved the Kingsolver. A great week!

My first full week of January reads has been pretty awesome!! I‘m enjoying my #NYWD list from @MallenNC and I borrowed a few titles from others #Top21of21 list ❤️🙌🏻🎉

I finished a handful of short books this week, including 3 books for #readingafrica2022 and my first for #booked2022. I hope to finish The Dead of Winter today, but I have yard work to do and an errand or two to run, so I‘m not sure if I will. I thought about waiting until this evening to post, but putting off my #bookreport post gives me anxiety. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤪

My #bookreport for Jan 2-8

6 books finished this week!
🎧All the Feels - 3⭐️

#bookreport
So I managed to get some reading done this week 😁 every cloud etc etc
Just stated Scared to Death this morning, finished the rest. A diverse mix of good stuff!

#bookreport
I had a great reading week in both quantity and quality. I loved Once There Were Wolves, and The Trees is one of my favorite reads so far from the #tob shortlist.

#weeklyforecast
This week I hope to tackle three more books from the #tob shortlist, and it‘s always nice to read a habit book around the beginning of the year.

Taking a break from my #readingafrica2022 children‘s books, so I doubt I‘ll finish anything else tonight. I finished the three books I really wanted to for December, started a holiday mystery, and made a solid start on the Reading Africa challenge.
#bookreport

I haven‘t finished any books in the New Year, so these are the last four books of 2021! Whereabouts was so good and I‘d definitely put it on my best of 2021 list! #BookReport
The Mercies
Northern Spy
The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek
Whereabouts

My #LastFirst2022BookReport 🤓Loving my current audio (Love After Love) and really enjoyed Circling the Sun. Monster was difficult at times but glad to have persevered. SummerWater was tense but engaging. Brat & Bewilderment were fine but left me slightly underwhelmed. Excited for all the new challenge reads!!

Sorry for so many stats and list posts, but I do enjoy that my weekly post lines up with the new year.

Finished all the others this week and loved them all. Good weeks reading. If only work didn‘t have to return!
Happy New Year all ❤️

#bookreport
Apologies for a day late- but as I had a good week wanted to post 😁
Bitter Wash Road - new Aussie detective series 👍🏻
Without You- sobering inside view of North Korea
Small Pleasures- between pick/so-so
The Holiday- holiday fluff!
Harbour Street- good 👍🏻
To Star the Dark- good new (to me) poetry.
Weekly forecast later 😁

#BookReport holiday edition! Five books finished!

This week I perused #NetGalley for the first time in ages, and hit the jackpot with two translated titles and a book about writing! I‘ll say more about these when their pub days are closer: The Equestrienne, Refuse to Be Done, & Kamusari Tales Told at Night.

I got Air Pods for Xmas and listened to a short audiobook on them already—Small Things Like These. Also finished reading Sorrow and Bliss.

I bailed on two, and HEAVILY skimmed my IRL bookclub book, One Night Markovitch 😖( horrible, choice) and I sort of read, lightly skimmed the two #ToBPlayIn choices; The Sentence & Country Friends. I liked the other 3 with the winner being When We Cease To Understand The World (#ToB22ShortList)
To all who are celebrating today, Merry Christmas ♥️To all others, I hope you‘re having a lovely weekend.

I know it‘s Christmas, but I am so excited to have finished books this week, that I had to post. They were mostly short holiday themed reads, but it feels good to have books completed. I‘m hoping to finish The Passengers today. It‘s so good and really creepy in a near-future techno-terror kind of way. But, I‘ll probably bail on Yule. I hope everyone has a good day today, no matter your holiday plans. . Sending love to all. #bookreport

#BookReport

I finished the top two last Sunday as Rare Danger is a novella and Christmas Witch is really short. Otherwise it was a slow reading week. I wrapped up Malabar Hill yesterday.

Not much time to read with a new puppy to keep an eye on all of the time….

Finished 2 from the #ToBlonglist that I already had out of the library.

The ongoing are all #ToBshortlist. I was hoping to get out for an #audiowalk today to finish Subdivision, as hubby is not at work, but the weather is meh so that didn‘t happen! Might finish it tomorrow as there is ironing to do. Started The Echo Wife at 5am this morning when pup got up!

I actually have books to report this week after 11 straight days of finishing nothing. I will be trying to force my way through my #lmpbc books this weekend. Really hoping my brain and bronchitis let that happen. Anyway - Peacocks took me 17 days to get through (wish I‘d bailed), the St. Mary‘s, which I enjoyed, took a week, but I sunk into A Christmas Carol yesterday afternoon. I hate Amazon, but I loved Grant‘s narration. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #bookreport

My #BookReport for Dec 12-18

7 books finished this week!
5⭐️ Blankets, Ninth Rain
4⭐️ Christmas Pawdcast, Whiteout, Christmas in Quincy, Merry Inkmas
3⭐️ Christmas in Silver Bell Falls

3 in progress:
🎧In a Holidaze (reread) 45%
📖 Mistletoe Christmas Anthology 80%
📖 The Way of Kings 4%

Will probably finish the anthology today, sadly not loving it.

#bookreport

Stressful week in work and I felt I hardly read at all
Love and Virtue was a good read
Leonard has been put into hibernation, I may go back to it, I wasn‘t gelling with the style of writing, but it may have been me.
Crying in H Mart was great
Reading Harbour Street as my brain can‘t take anything that requires too much thought at the moment.

I haven‘t had a #bookreport in months!! But I‘m happy to say that I finally feel like reading again! yayyyyy

Finished
✔️ Clark and Division
✔️ Maids of Misfortune

In Progress
Sorrow and Bliss

Hi Cindy 🤚

My #bookreport for Dec 5-11 Great week!

6 books finished
All finished were 4⭐️ reads - reviews on my page
🎧Tis the Season to be Kissed - may finish tonight
📖 The Ninth Rain 50%
📖Merry Inkmas - just started

DNF A Cajun Christmas Killing

A small report, but the Lamb was 900 pages!! I liked the novel, but it felt dated in parts (published 1998) and I think the story within the story could have been a little shorter, but still I‘m happy I FINALLY read it 🤓 A Children‘s Bible was a re-read for bookclub- ladies were split half hated the book other half thought it was a good choice for bookclub (agreed). Libertie was ok, not my favorite from #ToB ~ started The TREES (very good) 👇🏼
