I have been looking for short story collections and separately more female horror authors. The universe heard and threw this book at me! I‘m really looking forward to reading these. That title had me! 🖤Nigel butt snuck into the photo so #dogsoflitsy 🖤

📚Annihilation - that book tripped me out. Haven‘t seen the movie yet.

From Sweatpants & Coffee
I probably won‘t be doing much reading. I will spend most of it outdoors. This is always a tricky day for me and I need to stay out of my head.
For all the wonderful mothers out there, Happy Mother‘s Day 💕

Rainy day means a dark tale before work. Very ready for the weekend. 🖤🖤

I got some really lousy news. I would like to crawl under my blanket and not come out for awhile, but I can‘t. So I bought myself a comfort read in a beautiful hardcover edition. Do you have a comfort read? Or an author that is your go to for when you just need something good?

📚Pax- haven‘t read it yet

@sprainedbrain thank you so much for the wonderful #mythsandlegendsswap box !!! Everything is perfect and wonderful 🖤🖤🖤 I have an addiction to microwave popcorn and I can‘t wait to try the boom chicka pop. All the books look so good and I can‘t wait to start reading all of them! I think I may have a new favorite mug. I am in love with the American Gods mug! It‘s so perfect 🖤 thank you so much🖤 @MeganAnn thank you for hosting this swap 🖤

It has arrived! @sprainedbrain it made it here safely Friday! #mythsandlegendsswap @MeganAnn I am really looking forward to May 1 😊

@JoScho I hope your Monday was a good one 💕

I need a light hearted read to distract me tonight. Which of these three would you suggest? I think Nigel is suggesting I do a reread of Coraline, or really that it was the closest thing for him to lay his chin on. Any suggestions?

It was like an epic metal album. The ones that would tell a story. It was absolutely amazing and I couldn‘t have read it at a better time. Kris Pulaski is on an epic road trip to get back something she was missing. You don‘t have to love heavy metal to enjoy this book. I don‘t know how to put it lol in words. I would just suggest you give this a chance. This book is like a heavy metal modern day Lord of the Rings.

Quiet rainy Saturday morning, reading with my coffee. My reading buddy (Nigel) is snoring in bed. Happy Saturday 🖤🖤

#mythsandlegendsswap box has been mailed out today! It‘s leaving the Northeast and on it‘s way 😊

I will get back on track for posting this on Monday 😂

#Manicmonday @JoScho 🖤🖤🖤

I love this book. It is the life of Millicent Patrick. How she grew up and how she eventually created the Creature from The Creature from The Black Lagoon, how Bud Westmore took credit it for it and fired her from his makeup department, because he was a jealous man child. Finally you learn what happened to her after. I teared up a couple of times. Now I want to go watch the movie. Snuggles with my Creature this morning. Can‘t reach coffee though🖤

I feel like I haven‘t really been here much. I wanted to share my new reading glasses!! I am still reading The Lady from the Black Lagoon. I love it so much, but March and April have been filled with searching for a car(now that my car is no longer legal for the road) I have been working on some sewing requests (in between my full time job) that will give me a little bit of cash towards a car. It will calm down soon. Then I can enjoy my books.

Late for the @JoScho @JoScho I kept thinking yesterday was Tuesday, my brain lost Monday this week 🙈

I Spent yesterday at the flower show in Portland. It was wonderful to have the colors and smells. Spring will eventually get here. No reading was done yesterday. Lazy Sunday = lots more reading today. March has felt like an extra slow reading month for me

I just got an email about the release date for the second in the Hazelwood series! January 7, 2020! Looking forward to it!

Saturday morning reading. He is not a cuddly dog so when he wants to be, I soak it up till my feet fall asleep 😂 Still reading and really enjoying The Lady From The Black Lagoon. It‘s been so slow at work (nothing to do most of the day) but they frown on you reading a book now. BUT it‘s okay for you to be on your phone. So I have been using my kindle (it‘s kind of small enough to look like a large phone) and reading The Girl Who Drank the Moon.

Reading with my best reading buddy (he is snoring). Trying to feel distracted and not mad at life right now. I just paid off my medical bills to get hit with my car needing about $3000 worth of repairs before I can get my inspection sticker. Looks like I will be car shopping, 🤢 The start of the year feels very bumpy and rough. Hoping I am getting it all out of the way so the rest of the year can be better. Much love to you beautiful people.

#manicmonday Happy Monday everyone! I hope you have a great day 🖤🖤

#fridaynightbookclub with my best reading buddy. Diving into The Lady from The Black Lagoon. Nigel went to the groomers this week. We left the white strip on the top of his head. Now he has a little mohawk.

How did I miss this one?? I haven‘t picked it up yet. It sounds right up my alley with Mythological Deities. Has anyone else read this??? Thoughts??

#hellothursday
1. Still working on Stillhouse Lake if I finish it by Friday I will bounce between the tagged book and a manuscript my friend sent for me to proofread.
2. Out for Irish Breakfast, then home for the rest day Irish dinner will be cooking in the crockpot.
3. I have! I then “laminated” it with packing tape and used it as a bookmark till I lost it 😔
4. Nope would love to see Ireland

5. Shangra La or Valhalla
6. The Penelopaid by Margaret Atwood, The Vicious Deep by Zoraida Cordova, The Wrath and The Dawn by Renee Ahdieh

#blameitonlitsy both have been on my radar and I just finally gave in, after so many different posts. Plus I hadn‘t realized the black lagoon one had come out! I wasn‘t going to buy any books until I had a serious dent in my pile BUT 2018 was a low non fiction read year and it kind of bummed me out. I barely have any non fiction in my stack so I I really just had to get these to make sure I had some non fiction in the mix this year.

Happy Sunday reading! The little beast is snoring beside me while I dig into this book. Best book buddy ever! Again thank you so much for the book @CBee 💕 #kindlitsy #dogsoflitsy

#friyayintro @howjessreads I hope everything went well with surgery and you are feeling better soon. I can‘t take a #selfie without including Nigel. It‘s been a slow reading week. I‘m enjoying the tagged book this evening, almost done.

@CBee thank you so much 💕 This was a wonderful surprise. Work has been so crazy. I haven‘t had a chance to do much reading during the week. This will definitely be this weekend‘s read. I love this Litsy family. 🖤🖤 #kindlitsy

This is a quick little read with beautiful illustrations. Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell make great stuff together. A very encouraging book, with some honesty. Nothing/ nobody is perfect but keep going, keep creating 🖤🖤 Happy Monday

Happy Saturday! Quiet reading time this morning, before the pup and the man wake up. Have a lovely Saturday 🖤

My #manic Monday is now a manic Tuesday. Is it Friday yet??

Starting Volume 2 of Lore. A sweet dedication, before the creepy.

Snowy Sunday morning reading and cuddles. Trying to keep Spring thoughts in my head so I don‘t lose my mind. I actually got Nigel to look at me for this picture and he looks so annoyed 😂 I have been a bit of a slow reader lately, but I am going to finish Sawkill Girls today! It‘s really amping up to that finale. I really seem to have a thing for books with islands/ocean, females (and their friendships/sisters), and supernatural. Happy Sunday!!

This right here struck me. I had to share. It brought up a lot of thoughts and feelings for me. How do you feel about this?

#Fridaynightbookclub a surprise flat tire postponed my reading time. I dropped A off at work for the night and am now back home. Nigel snuggled at my feet and I‘m ready to go back to Sawkill Island.

Art Matters 💕

I don‘t usually get a lot of face shots on this fool. He prefers to snore while I read. He always makes my days interesting. #loveyourpetday #nigel #dogsoflitsy

Thank for the tag @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 😊

Snowy President‘s day off. Some quiet reading time and trying not to think about going back to work tomorrow. I have been pulled into this story, I came up for air for some tea. Back into it now 😊 Happy Monday Lovelies 💕

Took a surprise trip an hour and a half up north and I was able to get my newest plant baby a Monstera 🌿 (Latin is so much cooler than the common names 😊) we also stopped by the Barnes and Nobles while up there and I broke my book ban by buying Saga Vol 3 and vol 4. Sweet A bought the vol 2 of the Umbrella Academy, he said he is interested in reading it too! Book buying ban back on for me! Still have to dent my physical TBR a bit more.

@MeganAnn I couldn‘t resist this swap!! I signed up! #mythsandlegendsswap is right in wheelhouse. Looking forward to this. Thanks for hosting this 💕💕

I took a vacation day today and have a nice extended weekend. Plans to finish the tagged book as well as read the first volume of Umbrella Academy, before I watch the series on Netflix. After that I plan to start Sawkill Girls 😊 Top right corner is book mail I got yesterday. I love the shop in Salem, MA. This book is gorgeous 😍 great inspiration to help me with my apartment.
