Laughing at my previous shelf from 3 hours ago, thinking I would go for a walk. Nope, I‘m currently starting this audiobook while I drift off to sleep. Time for a nap/ the possibility of sleeping from 8am-6am 😅

#bookfitnesschallenge @wanderinglynn

It turns out that starting a new job (especially on a day when it‘s pouring) is not great for my steps 🤣 Normally I would be passed this amount at 9am. Due to the rain, I didn‘t even walk to work, or leave the building at lunch. Off to pace the hallways for a while, I guess. Then on to studying. 😅

#BookFitnessChallenge @wanderinglynn

Hey guys! Who‘s got some favourite #BannedBooks to recommend for this weeks #MayMadness theme!?

We‘ve got the #24B4Monday Banned Books edition coming up this weekend, so I‘m sure everyone would love to hear your favourites!

Mine are as follows:
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime
Charlottes Web
Of Mice and Men
George

Next up for #BookFitnessChallenge ! ♥️💜💚

I have just recently found this author, and I have LOVED every single books so far! So far they‘ve all been audiobooks. Very easy to listen to, with relatable characters, and a good storyline that keeps you interested right until the very last page. So, I guess I‘m going into this one with high hopes💚

@wanderinglynn

Finished my 10th book for the #BookFitnessChallenge just as I was walking into the clinic this morning. I chose to walk, so I got in 5,000 steps before 9am! 👏🏻

I really enjoyed this book! I connected with the majority of the characters, and watching the family dynamics play out. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who is looking for a light and easy read.

@hermyknee add this one to your audiobook list 😉

Some of you guys have already shared some stacks of your owned #BannedBooks, but we‘d like to see a stack or a list of which #BannedBooks you‘re hoping to read this week! 📚

Are there any books that have been hanging out in #MountTBR for too long? Maybe this is the week to finally read them! 🤗

#MayMadness #TuesdayTBR

I‘m always thinking of new ways to challenge myself, especially when it comes to reading. I‘m curious about choosing books to read simply based off of their dedication or epigram. I‘m hoping to spend a week or two dedicated to doing this. I might select off of my own shelves, but I‘m curious to see what you‘ve guys got for me too. Please post some pictures of your favourite dedications/epigrams and tag the book they‘re from! ⬇️⬇️

Opening the front cover and seeing this put an instant smile on my face, and made my heart feel warm. 💗

It got me thinking about how lately authors are using an epigram, rather than a specific dedication, to get a special message across, right from the first page of the book. When I see a really good epigram, I tend to immediately fall in love with the book. Anyone else like that?

#WinningEpigram
#WinningDedication
♥️🧡💛💚💙💜

I‘ve been meaning to read this for ages, and thanks to #MayMadness I finally got around to it.

There‘s something to be said for writing about such a necessary yet hushed subject, and doing it in a way that will hit home no matter what your age, gender, or sexual identity. This book had me smiling, laughing, cheering, and crying. I almost want to read it again already. ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜

#maymadness #BannedBooks #transgender #informative

Starting (and hopefully finishing) this one tonight for #BannedBooks week of #MayMadness ♥️ I totally didn‘t realize that‘s it‘s due back tomorrow, so hopefully I can fly through it. 🤣

I am happy with all of these numbers! These weekly emails motivate me to continue on my fitness journey, and not give up. 👏🏻💪🏻💗

I‘m hoping my numbers continue to get better and better, especially when it comes to my resting heart rate. It‘s always been extremely high, but it‘s something I know I need to work on.

#BookFitnessChallenge @wanderinglynn

The best part about going for walks in the neighbourhood is finding little treasures like this. 💕

Here‘s more pictures of the neat birdhouse collection I found on my morning walk. If you look closely at the bottom left photo, they have Beast, Mario and the Hamburgler standing guard. 😂#BookFitnessChallenge @wanderinglynn

Here‘s my route from this mornings walk! The second mike was all uphill 😅💪🏻

Hope everyone‘s having a great Monday ☀️
#BookFitnessChallenge @wanderinglynn

Decided on a long walk around the neighbourhood today! Listening to the tagged audiobook, which I‘m really enjoying so far, and enjoying all the fun yard decor!

These people definitely win the “Coolest Birdhouse” award! I took some more photos, which I‘ll post when I get home. 💙#BookFitnessChallenge

One last link to some #BannedBooks to give you some inspiration for this weeks #MayMadness challenge!

Here‘s another short list of #BannedBooks! Which ones have you read?

#MayMadness @TheReadingMermaid @RadicalReader

Here‘s a #ListChallenge link so you can test how many of these banned books you‘ve read, and also do you can have some inspiration to read more Banned books this week!

So... more news on my personal goal of walking 100,000 steps in one day.

I did a little more research, and I‘m honestly not sure how I can get this done in one day. With my height, it‘s estimated that I would have to walk between 63-65kms. Pictured is a map of a good chunk of our city. This is something close to the root I would want to take, and it‘s still just over half the Kms I‘d need.

Back to more planning 👏🏻😅💪🏻
#BookFitnessChallenge

As always, at the start of each week of #MayMadness we‘ve got another #personalchallenge for you guys as well!

How are you going to choose to #PayItForward this week?

We‘re flying through May! I can‘t believe we‘re already starting into week four! 💪🏻 This week we‘re challenging you to read some #BannedBooks!

#MayMadness @TheReadingMermaid @RadicalReader

I can‘t believe it‘s already the last day of week 3 for #MayMadness. This was the first graphic novel that I‘ve had time to read.

It was darker than I was expecting, and it had me guessing throughout the whole story, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I think i would really enjoy reading the original novel, so I‘ll be on the lookout for it at the thrift store.

Another quick morning walk with my audiobook and a cup of tea. It was so windy out, that I barley hit 4,000 steps. Hopefully it‘ll warm up later, and I can head out for another walk. Otherwise I‘m thinking it‘s going to be a lazy day for the #BookFitnessChallenge

Ps this is my FAVOURITE sweater ever! Any other “A Night At the Roxbury” fans out there?! 💜💙

HOLY MOLY! I just seen that this is a possible badge to get on fitbit😅

Have any of my fellow #BookFitnessChallenge buddies earned this badge?! If so, how did you manage it!?

Maybe this is something I can challenge myself to do. Take a whole day, and a backpack of snacks + water, and just walk all around my city. Stop for meals + to charge phone.

Maybe this will be something I‘ll challenge myself to do closer to the end of the 6 weeks 🤔😅

Some pictures from this afternoons walk to Boulevard Lake. I‘m currently listening to So Much Pretty by Cara Hoffman. #BookFitnessChallenge 🎧

Hey my #MayMadness and #BookFittnessChallenge buddies!

I know I haven‘t been posting as much these last few days! I‘m sorry! I just started four new medical courses online, and it‘s been taking most of my time and focus. Aside from my audiobooks during my walks, or right before bed, I haven‘t really had any time for leisure reading. I also start a new job on Wednesday, so just know that I‘m cheering you on, even if I‘m not posting as much!

Next up for #BookFitnessChallenge

I also have the physical book, so I might attack it double time.💪🏻💜💙

@wanderinglynn

This was a light, fun story about how crazed some people can get about the need to be “thin”. From secret workout locations, to special tea, to eating clay as a meal... there is every type of ridiculous diet craze in this book. Yes, I rolled my eyes. But I also laughed out loud more often than not. If you don‘t take it to seriously, it‘s a pick.

Audiobook 6/18 for #BookFitnessChallenge

@wanderinglynn

🚨BEEE-OOP! BEE-OOP! BEE-OOP! BEE-OP!! 🚨

We‘ve got a fun little #minichallenge for you this week! Seeing as how it‘s all about the #GraphicNovels and #Comics this week, we‘ve got a speech bubble search for you!

Look through your graphics and comics, and try to find the word “Madness” or any version of that word.

Can‘t wait to see what y‘all dig up!

Robin to Batman - Who‘s your favourite side character?

Hey my fellow #BookFitnessChallenge Littens!

Today is the last day of week 1, and I was wondering how everyone is doing! So I though I‘d make a little questionnaire 💕

1. Yes!
2. When I‘m bored, I much prefer going for a quick 20 minute walk, then sit on the couch and watch tv. Also, I have no motivation to do weightlifting.
3. All the scenery posts!
4. Mr Penumbras 24 hr Bookstore
5. 3L water & 12 flights of stairs

@wanderinglynn 💜💗💜

Next up for #BookFitnessChallenge 💕

What are you listening to today?

Ask and you shall receive 😉

@hermyknee I took a quick look through your read stack, and whipped up some suggestions. A little bit of everything. I have listened to a lot (!!!) of audiobooks, so if you want any other suggestions or are thinking a specific genre, just let me know!

Hopefully this helps you get over your reading slump for #BookFitnessChallenge 💙

Here is a list of my go-to recommendations for #GraphicNovels ♥️ Have you guys read any of these? Do you have any favourites on here? Or any that you can‘t believe I missed? Let me know down below! 😉

#MayMadness #Recommendsday @TheReadingMermaid @RadicalReader

Finished off this audiobook (5/18) just as I was walking up to my door with my coffee in hand. I really enjoyed it! I could see it making a great movie, if they were to adapt it properly. Definitely gets a recommendation from me.

I‘m probably not going to get too many more steps in tonight, so I thought I‘d share my steps now. Then it‘s back to studying for me! 😉

#BookFitnessChallenge 💪🏻 @wanderinglynn

On Monday, I tracked how far it is from my apartment to Tim Hortons.
So, today I needed a little study break, and really wanted to see what happened next in this book.... so I figured I could get the rest of my daily steps in by walking to Tim‘s for coffee.

Hey, find what motivated you, right? Maybe I‘ll track how many steps to the bookstore... that would be sure to get me moving 😂😂😂

#Bookfitnesschallenge @wanderinglynn

Just some light reading this morning! 😂😅

I feel like my brain my explode... but I‘m just going to pack all that knowledge in there anyways.

It‘s that time again! This week we want to hear your go-to #GraphicNovel recommendations! Can‘t wait to see what goodies y‘all suggest! ♥️💙💜

#MayMadness #Recommendsday @TheReadingMermaid @RadicalReader @Clwojick

Two days left for week 1 of #BookFitnessChallenge, so even though I woke up, and wanted to immediately shove my brain back into my textbooks... I made myself keep up with (new) my morning routine. Tea, audiobook, walk to the lake. 💙

My thought of the day: Even when you think something‘s NOT going to work (matching my Archie tee & teal sneakers with my grey peplum trousers) TRY IT ANYWAYS! You never know. I ended up loving this outfit!

Tonight‘s audiobook! I‘ve been basically studying non stop since 4pm... I‘m going to make up some flash cards, and then I‘m off to sleep.

Hope your day was brilliant!

Proof that my walking outfits aren‘t always put together! Tonight I‘m wandering the hallways in my husbands sweater, black yoga pants, and my new purple Keds that I‘m trying to stretch out a bit.

My online medical classes started today, I had an interview, and Nolan came home after another 2 weeks at the mine.

I may be getting in my steps later than usual, but I‘m still trucking along 😉

#BookFitnessChallenge @wanderinglynn

Whatever your goals are for today, I hope you crush them! Get your read on, your motivation on, your meditation on, your yoga on, your steps on, and your self love on! 💕

#bookfitnesschallenge #maymadness #personalchallenge @wanderinglynn @TheReadingMermaid @RadicalReader

Hey guys! Sorry I‘m super late posting this today! It‘s been a very busy morning 🙈

Please share your graphic novel #tuesdayTBR stack with us! I can‘t wait to see what goodies you‘ve chosen to read! There are so many amazing graphic novels, manga and comics out there. 💙

#MayMadness @RadicalReader @TheReadingMermaid

Finished this one for my last #MayScavengerHunt prompt. This one was actually hilarious!

💚Book by an author who shares your birthday. (Nov 1st)

Another day. Another audiobook. Another morning walk. Another cozy cup of tea. Another outfit.

Today‘s gonna be a good one 🧡

#bookfitnesschallenge

@wanderinglynn

Well, I definitely surpassed my daily goal of 7,000 steps 😊 Today was a good day, and I just really wanted to get out there and get moving. My online classes start tomorrow, so I‘m sure I‘ll be a lot more stationary in the days to come. At least until I get into the swing of things. ♥️💙💜 Hope y‘all had a fantastic day.

3/18 audiobooks completed!

#BookFitnessChallenge

Although I 100% do not regret walking the 11,000 steps to and from the grocery store this afternoon... but I definitely DO regret my choice of footwear! 😂These boots have ruined my feet, and I‘ll be surprised if I can move tomorrow!😂😂 #BookFitnessChallenge

Finished my 2nd audiobook for the #BookFitnessChallenge while walking the lake trails today. It was perfect weather, a little windy, but not to cold. I had my vanilla earl grey tea to keep me cozy, and a light and easy read. This book was really enjoyable. Likeable characters, and an easy going rhythm that made it perfect for walking.

Laundry is started, audiobook is on, and I‘m heading out to get my #bookfitnesschallenge stats back up after having a VERY lazy Sunday.
