Munches is not feeling well, cold with a lot of congestion = clingy. I was able to get this one read and really enjoyed it. Fun and flirty. Great portrayal of anxiety. Now to get caught back up on my chapter a days. 👀

I did not love this one. Pretty graphic in some spots and not a lot of love. There were some pretty humorous moments which kept this as a so so. #littensloveromance @StayCurious

I can‘t choose which first reads I want! This never happens! Tagged book or Penelope- what do you think?

This was written in 2006- why had no one asked for a picture of Jesse before chapter 17?!

Book 2 has begun! #fellowshipoftolkien #lotrchapteraday

Finished on ebook in my tree stand! Just in time for tomorrow. Loved it- it‘s like I‘ve never read it before. Now I‘ll be able to catch up on #readingwesteros before bed hopefully! #fellowshipoftolkien #lotrchapteraday

That‘s ominous. Sometimes I swear it‘s like im reading these for the first time😂 Hoping to finish tonight- hubs made me take a nap today so it threw me off. #fellowshipoftolkien #lotrchapteraday
Family update- yesterday was hard to see my stoic dad so emotional. Mom‘s backsliding some and has contracted MRSA on top of everything else. Her release was supposed to be tomorrow which is now looking doubtful.

@ElizaMarie thank you for this awesome #cbbc package! @Gissy yours should be there tomorrow. @LaraReads #lmpbc was mailed Monday as well!

My family could use some prayers or good intentions. My dad‘s father died Friday (I‘m ok we weren‘t close) and funeral is sat. My mom was taken to the hospital Monday and has a blood infection in addition to some other things requiring emergency surgery. The dogs have kennel cough. It‘s been a week.

All caught up with #readingwesteros #gotchapteraday, #lmpbc, and #cbbc #coffeebeanbookclub - now on to catching up with #fellowshipoftolkien #lotrchapteraday- that Elrond chapter is soooo long and threw me off my game! I‘ll read and participate in all the posts as soon as I‘m caught up- which may be a minute yet lol.

1- played softball most of my life, have also been a dancer and cheerleader. Adore watching football.
2- anything by Sarina Bowen

Hubby went fishing with the camp owner again in crummy weather 🎉 I love fishing but also as a wife/mom/fur mom, it‘s crazy wonderful to have time not caring for another creature. The setting of this book was excellent, and I liked a lot of the characters. The pacing felt odd, some of the proofreading was not great, and a few details were inconsistent. Overall, pretty good- a solid 3, though I won‘t be reading more.

Storming out, hoping I get the night to finish this one!

On a fishing vacation in Canada and not getting as much reading time as I‘d like. Also as you can see- the air is trying to kill me here too. Hubs went out for 2 hrs with the camp owner and left me in peace to read a bit. Loved this #lmpbc from @Hazel2019 ! Fun, quick, and all the warm fuzzies.

I love cool mornings, can fall hurry up please?! #readingwesteros #gotchapteraday

A mug that always remind me of Litsy, my new tea, and #fellowshipoftolkien on this beautifully colder day.

@MittenGirlPeach chose cozy English Christmas as the theme and nailed it! I confess- I‘ve never had lemon curd- what do I do with it? Thank you so much! #staycationintime

@Jas16 thank you so much friend for the romances! I love the ripped bodice bookmark- I‘ve always seen such wonderful things about them ❤️

All caught up! I could feel the Terror in this chapter for fellowship. Also Sansa is such a twatopotumus and Joff is the worst. #fellowshipoftolkien #lotrchapteraday #readingwesteros #gotchapteraday

@Hazel2019 these came yesterday! Truthfully I don‘t know if I‘ll get the summer book done before I need to send to @LaraReads - we leave for vacay Tuesday night. #lmpbc

Today has been a day. Most of it was spent processing apples and now I have fruit flies 🙄🤦‍♀️ I also yelled Shakespeare at Wes to stop a tantrum- not sure if that was a #parentingwin or a #parentingfail 😂 I did manage to get my #staycationintime mailed!

I prefer to read print for LotR because it helps me keep the characters straight. I was struggling with prologue so audio it was- I found that helpful! #fellowshipoftolkien #lotrchapteraday

7 years with you beautiful people. I think I qualify as an OG now 😂 Seriously- I‘ve created some beautiful friendships here and I can‘t imagine not having you all in my life. Book people are the best people. Love and hugs to you all!

Long days used to end with a nice glass of wine and a book or movie. Now they end with hidden Oreos and stolen moments after everyone is in bed 😂 #lotrchapteraday #fellowshipoftolkien

1- I honestly have no clue.
2- The wayside school series as a kid.
#two4tuesday @TheSpineView

Thank you so much my sweet friend! This unexpected surprise made my week! @Avanders

Books I got with my bday gift card! Plus two ebooks. #fellowshipoftolkien #lotrchapteraday

Today was long and ridiculous but I came home to lots of book mail! I won a prize package for our summer reading program at the library!! The artwork is from the tagged book.

Went to Renaissance Faire today and got to play in a Hobbit village! Also brought home a dragon bc of the book. Indoctrination is going well! #fellowshipoftolkien #lotrchapteraday

Went to Renaissance Faire today and couldn‘t resist! #readingwesteros #gotchapteraday

I listen to HP to fall asleep at night but don‘t have a current audio read. Hubs got stuck at work so Wes and I had to drive an hour ten to a friend‘s house for dinner tonight. Enter HP. Two things really struck me: 1 the adults should‘ve prevented Hermione from overdoing it 2- Snape is a horrible bully. Like no redeeming qualities.

This is between a pick and a so/so. I was entertained. The sex was hot and the story line pretty good. The male MC was a caricature and I‘m pretty sure someone dared the author to find as many different words for genitalia as possible. Quivering mound of love jelly- I kid you not and that was only the tip of the slab 😂😂

Welcome to #ReadingWesteros ! My hubs and I binged the show last year finally and loved it. He bought me the first 5 books for my bday last year. I got through 2😂 I‘m so excited to. Do this! Keeps me motivated and accountable to giving myself that time to read everyday :) #GoTChapterADay

Working from home so I‘ll get to read my chapter later, but keeping the vibe with my morning coffee! #readingwesteros #GoTChapterADay

#GoTChapteraDay #ReadingWesteros starts tomorrow! I‘m soooooo excited to be doing this with you all!! ❤️❤️ Like I said on fb- they can pry Litsy from my cold, dead hands 😂

Pictures are back baby! We were close to withdrawals! I used the website 😱 Shameless share of today- he grabbed my blue light glasses and wanted to help me work 😂❤️

Potter while I telework. I couldn‘t take it anymore and switched to the web version of Litsy. It‘s not terrible on your phone folks! The photo editor is not user friendly if you‘re taking a pic though 😂😂🙃

Not that anyone can see this, but go to the onward Litsy Facebook page and answer their poll please about whether or not you‘re still having issues with the app only. (I am) @LitsyEvents

1985 man- it had the answers. This is the best stranger book I‘ve ever read, and that‘s coming from someone I law enforcement.

I have loved this read along. I felt more present than last time. Had to assure Wes that there is another “orange dragon” book😂

Say it again Thorin! #fellowshipoftolkien #lotrchapteraday

I think it was on Litsy that I first saw these. Does anyone have one and do you like it? I was thinking about it for my kindle, particularly in the winter when I have hot cocoa on the couch 😂 wondering if it‘s worth using half my birthday gift card on.

Birthday book from my sister :)

July was a slow and relatively uninspiring reading month. But look at how pretty I managed to get this months entry! It‘s never going to happen again 🙃 #readingbracket2023

I didn‘t read these as kids and it‘s pretty easy to understand why now. It wouldn‘t have spoken to my fantasy loving soul. But I‘ve really enjoyed this read along with @megnews even joining late. This wasn‘t my favorite and was evident it hadn‘t been edited. Important though. Attached picture is for Laura Days in WI :)

Cooking dinner and trying to catch up (still a chapter behind!), when munchkin crawled into my lap on the deck for mama to read about the dragon :) ❤️

@ElizaMarie this came today- thank you so much! I adore the little notecard thing- where did you find that?! #cbbc #coffeebeanbookclub

Not super substantial but cute. By the end I wanted to know more about dad and Vivian than the MCs. I‘ll have this in the mail as soon as I can! #lmpbc

I‘ve really enjoyed reading these. The tone is a bit lighter but I‘d say overall more bittersweet. Despite being children‘s lit, I now understand why I didn‘t connect with them as a kid❤️
