When you arise in the morning, think of what a privilege it is to be alive-to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love. ~Marcus Aurelius

We have so much to thankful for every day, Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I tested myself to a new kindle oasis! I can't find my kindle so that was my excuse.

My favorite thing about ebooks is they are so portable and accessible.
#two4tuesday @TheSpineView

Not much reading today...but some projects were completed

1. I've often read the last paragraph or maybe the last page.
2. I haven't finished a book in months! I can't remember.
@TheSpineView #two4tuesday

Hi everyone,
As so many of you may know, my family and I have been devastated by COVID over the last couple of months. I was hospitalized and my husband passed away from COVID related Pneumonia on May 11th. So I've been MIA for a while. The amazing thing about this group is that even though I've been MIA, they have made sure I knew I was not alone. The #litsylove group has been absolutely wonderful and I cannot express how much I appreciate you

Thank you so much for your thoughtful cards and this beautiful gift. #litsylove is such a great community and I'm so grateful to all of you. @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @ bookgoil 🥰

1. I want to say a gymnast after watching Nadia Comaniec in the Olympics, then a teacher.
2. Lately I wake up before any alarm, but I've been known to be a snoozer.
3. Well we are having a horrible experience with covid. Both my husband and I were hospitalized and my husband is still in ICU. People have been amazing and its come down to we are alive, and we are loved. You cannot wish for more than that.
4. Purple!
@eggs #wondrouswednesday

Look at me go! 3 #bookspin selections in a row! Yay! Thank you @thearomaofbooks for helping me figure out what to read next. I'm loving this.

I really enjoyed this book, I think it may come across as sentimental to some, but it hit all my spiritual buttons with the saints and superstitions.
Solid 3+

This was my #bookspin for March - I really enjoyed it. My cousin from Ireland sent it to me and it was delightful. If you're a fan of The Derry Girls, this will be up your alley!
@thearomaofbooks #bookspin March

1. All the time!!
2. I like to do both together so if i get to a good part I can still listen to it while I do other things.
@TheSpineView #two4tuesday

1. Tagged! I haven't read anything yet this year that I'm in love with.
2. Both. My dream scenario is outside by a lake not too hot or cold with coffee.
3. I'm doing #bookspin and aspiring to #doublespin
@MoonWitch94 #thoughtfulthursday

#bookspin #doublespin April @TheAromaofBooks PART 2

#bookspin #doublespin April @TheAromaofBooks PART 1

While reading this book, I was mostly confused. I wasn't sure if I was enjoying the book but I was definitely curious about it - enough to keep reading at least. Lots of mystical elements and magic. Ultimately I didn't love this book. I did enjoy The Mermaids Singing by Lisa Carey a great deal. I think it could be very interesting to others, it just wasn't my cup of tea. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

1. I'd say they tolerate it more than support it.
2. Sadly, no. My grandfather was a voracious reader from what i have heard and the little I remember.
3. I have hundreds and can't name one lol
@eggs #wondrouswednesday

1. Life is Beautiful
2. Tulips...I think!

#two4tuesday @TheSpineView

Have a fantastic week!!!

This was the third book in the series and I enjoyed them all. I appreciated the way the author wrote about love in many its many forms. Forgiveness, mercy, kindness, caring, romantic, lasting. I finished this book 3 days ago and it's still on my mind.

I give this book 4*= I liked it, would love to discuss. Solid B - Thanks Marleed for the rating scale! Finally finished my bookspin for February! @thearomaofbooks #bookspin February
