Who else is considering attending the National Book Festival? August 31,2019 https://www.loc.gov/events/2019-national-book-festival
Yesterday was only another 1/2 mile day (damn you legs) and today was stretches and ending the evening with gentle chair yoga thanks to a resource from @mcipher #bfc #bookfitnesschallenge
Listening to Delicious on audio for #booked2019, while drinking a lovely tea with my daughter, thank you @mabell the sweet and spicy with sliced orange in my beautiful mug was perfect🥰 and my daughters mug was in my #heas from @Alfrazier21 🥰🥰🥰#ilovelitsy #selfcareswap #happilyeverafterswap
A list of books involving levees #whentheleveebreaks #maymoviemagic https://beyondrivalry.wordpress.com/2006/08/30/drowned-towns-book-list/
Oddly, I thought of @LeahBergen ‘s bookish taste with some of these covers and descriptions.
1. I can try to release anger and fear about things I cannot control.
2. I love that we are all connected through time and place by the same moon.
3. Thank you @monalyisha you warmed my heart. Recognizing the goddess in @cobwebmoth @hermyknee @Gissy @Avanders

The #littlestthings can can have a big impact. And are very interesting. #maymoviemagic
#maymoviemagic #hookedonafeeling sort of had me think about the next line- high on believing - that led me to think about cults, so for anyone else who is interested in this topic here are more books- https://bookriot.com/2017/01/27/100-must-read-books-about-life-in-cults/
Did anyone else remember the “Moonies” who were all over NYC looking for money and recruits in the ‘70‘s?
#bfc #bookfitnesschallenge I finished 1book. I did not quite meet my fitness goals- but I did not give up or have any moments of significant depression this week! I only made 1mile once, but walked between 1/2 and 3/4 of a mile on 3 other days. Stretched every day. Chair yoga once- but this weekend it will happen! And greatly appreciated this incredible community EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!
pickA little formulaic, but still full of characters I enjoy. It is Necessary to read the previous books- even in the first series, to fully understand sections of this book.
According to my phone I did manage a mile today! #bfc #bookfitnesschallenge Now to try and actually finish a book this month... I‘m hoping tonight.
Just reflecting on the #sweetdisposition of middle schoolers. #maymoviemagic
Thanks to @mcipher I was able to do chair yoga today and added some stretches for people with arthritis. My daughter and I are going to make miso soup before I leave for work. Thanks to @wanderinglynn I‘m working on a path that was overwhelming. Thanks to all of the support from Littens I‘m smiling while I do hard things. 🥰 #BFC #bookfitnesschallenge
2/2 #selfcareswap I completely agree with Elizabeth that homemade laundry detergent can make laundry a little more pleasant! (How much per load?) I‘m looking forward to using all of these items in my self care journey! 🥰🥰🥰🥳🥳🥳Laura - I‘m going to send you the Mexican hot chocolate recipe- I can‘t wait to try it!
Post 1/2 Thank you Elizabeth for these books!!! I‘m so happy you and Laura were up for a #selfcareswap and consider myself lucky to have gotten to know Both of you through Litsy.
The rain has been rough yesterday and today. For #BFC I did some stretches today, and on Sunday walked .5 miles- not much but still more movement than I normally do on high pain days. Sharing my daughters ecard to me because I can. #bookfitnesschallenge
@EadieB has amazing buddy reads! Everyone is welcome- this is a true crime book. Go to her page and let her know to tag you if you decide to join in.
Happy Mother‘s Day!!! These are a picture of the books I have had since birth (the actual books are in the house my husband lives in.) They are a beloved treasure of mine. A gift from my mom ❤️❤️❤️
#immigrantsong sings to my heart. My grandparents were all born in NYC from Immigrants Hungarian. Austrian,Luthiuanian, German, And Irish. My paternal grandmothers family were Orthodox Jews, and her grandfather was a Rabbi. My maternal Grandfathers family has nuns and priests. My Extended family includes people of Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Mexican and African descent. #maymoviemagic #oneworld 🥰❤️🥰 #nohumanisilligal
#BFC day 2. Lots of pain today, but still did garden work with daughter. Weeded shade raised beds, planted garlic and made a pot of amazing soup! Everyone here had a second bowl. I may not be able to move anymore today so time to read. Picture of two of the 5 raised beds. Does anyone else love to garden? #bookfitnesschallenge
1. Popcorn 2. Socks? Scrunchie? 3. Veronica Mars, Psych, 4. Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, 5. Green, yellow 6. Seltzer, coffee, tea, 7. Camping 8. @hermyknee @cobwebmoth @TK421 @Avanders @ReadingRover and anyone else!!! thanks for tag @Gissy #summersantagoespostal
They are offering a skype session to any group who orders at least 25 books. Any chance there are 24 other people in the DC region who would be interested? (Im in WV an hour from DC for perspective).
First day for #bookfitnesschallenge and I‘ve already changed my activity for today. I set up my raised beds, potted plants, partial weeding of one butterfly garden, anti-mosquito garden finished, and half of my “sitting” garden set up. Needed two rests, help from two teens and two showers. It was hard and that makes me sad, but I spent time doing something physical I love. Listened to tagged book. #icandohardthings
1. Whatever I can accomplish. I used to love working out.
2. Outdoors
3.either. In a gym music, outside quiet.
4. Walking, hiking, used to be running.
5. Lets get physical By Olivia Newton John and She‘s a Maniac by Hall and Oates ... on repeat 🤣🤣🤣

I am just getting home for the day and able to post s picture and thank @cobwebmoth and @TK421 for my #LMPBC and tea and cute notepad and brewing basket. I love that you made the tea Laura! And you were so smart to put everything in plastic bags. We have so much rain and flooding!!! The paper tantrum notepad is exactly what I need!!!!
I‘ve struggled to read anything more than a few pages for past few weeks. By the time I had time everything hurt and I could not focus. But last night I started Wild Country, because I knew it could do the trick! And I have my #booked2019 choices glaring at me- with my internal yell back #dontstopmenow !!!!#maymoviemsgic
I can walk the perimeter of my property three times on nice days to make a mile- but need ideas for rainy days when pain is higher to get moments of movement in. (It is supposed to rain every day this week) #bookfitnesschallenge
There is still time to join! See @wanderinglynn to join- there are prizes for additional motivation!
Because of chronic pain I really am hopeful that this will help me work on reasonable movement and better health. So my goals:
4 books.
Walk one mile in 3-4 chunks each day.
Tai Chi for Arthritis 3 days a week
Stretch every day.
Make at least one soup a week.
@wanderinglynn thanks for coordinating this. #bookfitnesschallenge
#weveonlyjustbegun it might take a while. #maymoviemagic
I have met survivors from concentration camps, and my great grandparents were Orthodox Jews who immigrated in the early 1900‘s. So I am glad to share @Cinfhen ‘s link about Israel‘s National Holocaust Remembrance Day and a book that I always thought gave perspective. https://www.illuminatethepast.org/
#behindthewheel reminded me of this book that I need to read. Castledown was a favorite, but this third book came out so many years later that I was not able to read without rereading the first two and they were put back onto #mountbr where they may have turned into diamonds by the crushing weight above them. #maymoviemagic
April was a difficult reading month for me.... so instead of book stats I‘m posting a gratitude shout out to my Litsy friends who helped me smile and feel grateful. Thanks for swaps, activities, and in general good karma @cobwebmoth @Avanders @hermyknee @mabell @Cinfhen @Gissy @Reviewsbylola @emilyhaldi and to everyone who comments/responds ❤️🙏❤️
3. The book choices were perfect! Thank you! #mythsandlegendsswap
2. The picture of Shiva from your trip to India is incredibly perfect! And the magnet! I love the Celtic bookmarks and that you sent items from multiple mythologies. I‘m going to frame the card!!!! And the Egyptian papyrus!!!! #mythsandlegendsswap
Post 1. Danielle, your package was perfect! My daughter grabbed the socks and claimed a pen and was beyond excited to open the package with me. We loved your wrapping and thoughtful explanations!!! #mythsandlegendsswap
Can you believe what I found for #highwaytoHell ?

How have I missed all of these??? Goodreads had a Beauty and The Beast retelling list- I know I have searched before and this did not pop up!!! @Cinfhen I‘m sure this is considered a sub sub-genre!!!! Ahhh my TBR is already toppling and ungainly 🥵but a readers got to do what a readers got to do....
I am about to begin stalking for the #summersolsticebookexchange #summersantagoespostal and discovered this book. Seems like a perfect one to add to #mounttbr. Hooray for @BookishMarginalia !
The beast in any incarnation is an #ownerofalonelyheart - also how did I miss having this book? #beautyandthebeast #retelling #anglophileapril
Love that @hermyknee helps with stalking!!! I‘m patiently waiting for my email -although I am going to see Avengers Endgame tonight. This post totally supports my procrastination efforts!!!
