Gissy Beautiful story❤️ 1y

Cinfhen It REALLY was @Gissy - it‘s wonderful @Librarybelle 1y

KarenUK Your hashtags always make me smile 😊! Middle grade is always a nice change of pace…. 💕 1y

Cinfhen Thanks @KarenUK xxxx 1y

BarbaraBB Another #sappyCin! Good for you 💕 1y

Cinfhen Yup @BarbaraBB as I‘m really just putting off getting back to

The Women Could Fly: A Novel

BarbaraBB Lol I understand 💯 1y

Megabooks 💜 #sappyCindy! I started Women this morning, but I‘m also finishing this short story collection @BarbaraBB

Tunneling to the Center of the Earth

BarbaraBB @Megabooks Another Wilson! Are his short stories as bizarre as his novels? 1y

Megabooks @BarbaraBB yes! Most of these were written around the time he was in college, and they are so impressive for that age or really any one but they have a youthful perspective. (Plus he and I are roughly the same age and grew up in the same region so I find them nostalgic as well.) now I‘ve read all his books, which is a bit sad because of the wait for a new one! I preferred this to his newer collection.

Baby, You're Gonna Be Mine: Stories

Cinfhen Wilson definitely has a unique writing style!! I read this collection but it was just too odd for me @BarbaraBB plus I‘m not a fan of short stories- but there‘s no denying his talent @Megabooks 1y

Cinfhen I‘ll be watching for your review of #FlyingWomen @Megabooks 😉I think @BarbaraBB will be curious too😅 1y

BarbaraBB I am and I have a hunch 😂 @Megabooks (edited) 1y

BarbaraBB @Megabooks I still have Panic on my shelves. Looking forward to that one too! 1y

Cinfhen The struggle is real @BarbaraBB 1y

Cinfhen I really liked Panic @BarbaraBB @Megabooks it wasn‘t as 🍌👖as some of his other stories 1y

Megabooks @Cinfhen @BarbaraBB at 15% I think I‘m going to #allhailthebail on Women. The music therapy has given me an awful headache when I look at screens (squinting my eyes just to write this), and I wasn‘t enjoying it enough for how troublesome it is. Tbqh the whole plot was silly and far-fetched. The blurb sounded good but the execution is waaaayyy sub par. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ 1y

BarbaraBB @Megabooks You are so right about bailing, the books is ridiculous and silly indeed. Take some rest after the music therapy ❤️ 1y

Cinfhen I was going to email both of you @Megabooks @BarbaraBB but I‘ve gotten hooked on a Netflix series and it‘s CONSUMING me - anyhow Flying is SO BAD!!! I‘m on page 152 and I just can‘t go on!!! I will, but yikes 😳 don‘t feel bad at all, Meg. Hope the MT starts to work it‘s magic 🪄 1y

Y‘all have no idea how long it took me to take pics of my wonderful #muglove2023 mug and coffee I got from #SappyCindy @Cinfhen ! Therefore I included them all. The mug is hysterical- I love it! Just made some coffee too, which is delicious although I‘m drinking it at dinner time so I will probably be awake for hours. And I wanted to show you my mutant banana bread, which seems desperate to escape the pan and run away. Tastes good tho.⬇️⬇️⬇️

Bklover Thank you Cindy for my wonderful gifts and for running this gift exchange. (And you too @TheKidUpstairs) You were one of my first Litsy pals and I love you to pieces. ❤️❤️ (edited) 1y

AmyG Your banana bread and a cup of coffee? Heaven ❤️ 1y

Bklover @Ruthiella I know, right?! 1y

Bklover @AmyG I‘m on my second cup of coffee and my third piece of banana bread. I‘ll probably be awake all night! 1y

CBee Your post is making me want banana bread! I should buy some bananas soon…. And watch them ripen, and ripen, and ripen 😂😂😂 1y

Bklover @CBee Our little local IGA saves the mildly aged bananas and sticks them in a bag for $.99. I get very excited when I manage to grab them before someone else. I know I won‘t eat them because I only eat green bananas. 1y

CBee @Bklover oh, I wish our store would do that! That would be perfect! 1y

Cinfhen Hi!!!!! That banana bread is CALLING TO ME!!! I‘m glad the beans were yummy and I thought the celebrity dogs were hilarious 😂 my mom STILL hasn‘t sent me a pic but I‘m sure whatever you sent me will be WONDERFUL!!! Happy Valentines Day my friend ❤️ 1y

LaraReads Yay! Glad to see your review on this! I‘ve been on the fence about it, but you may have tipped me over! 1y

Cinfhen This was surprisingly good @LaraReads @TrishB @squirrelbrain a bit more depth than I initially anticipated 😁#GoForIt 1y

BarbaraBB Very convincing while I am not a fan of the author…. 🤔 1y

Bklover OMG I FORGOT! Have to go open now!!! And by the way, I loved this book too! 1y

CarolynM I've just vommented elsewhere I might have to reconsider Taylor Jenkins Reid. You're giving me more reason to. @TrishB Have you read this one? Literary and quite short. I liked it.

Talking It Over

Megabooks Happy Valentine‘s Day! You and @TheKidUpstairs did a fantastic job! 1y

CarolynM Oh dear, just seen the terrible typo 😵‍💫 I meant commented, obviously. 1y

Cinfhen @CarolynM 😛😂😂😂😂I love that you chose to leave it!!!!! 1y

Cinfhen Thanks so much @Megabooks Hope you had a lovely day 🥰 1y

Megabooks I did! I got an Amazon gift card from family and Dad bought my current Apple Watch so I get a new one!! (He lost his. 😔 He let it die so we can‘t ping it.) Did M get you anything fun?? 1y

Cinfhen Ohhhhh, that‘s wonderful @Megabooks - M doesn‘t “believe” in Valentines Day 🙄he thinks it‘s a Hallmark marketing ploy ( whatever) he spoils me all the time. Im glad your parents acknowledged you xxx 1y

TrishB @CarolynM love the typo 😁 taken note of the title for future reference! 1y
