We had a fun day checking out two different bookstores today. This was Renaissance Books in the Mitchell Airport. The other was Boswell Books in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The tagged book was one of my purchases. #airportfinds #mitchellairport #usedbooks

I‘m pretty lucky with the letter “T”

A random day off that comes with great weather. #outdoorreading #HappyTuesday #Truecrime #Murderino

Any knitters interested in color work, this is a good guide. I‘m trying to learn double-sided knitting and this has great explanations with clear illustrations. #knittersoflitsy #audioknitting

My brother gave me the books about Chicago & the best hubby in the world gave me the rest. I‘m a lucky gal.

Cold weather prep complete. Fridge stocked & plenty of hot tea. Hunkering down for a movie with hubby. Thanks to everyone involved with @24in48 #24in48 #readathon

Finished book 2 during #24in48 Heading back to bed for a wee nap. Good book but so glad to be done. I‘m itching to start The Black Dahlia
@24in48

I was hoping to read at least eight hours during @24in48 #24in48
I‘m getting there. Calling it a night so I can rest up for tomorrow.

My husband bought this book through a Kickstarter campaign- Super Duper Anthology. Students in progress. Some better than others. One book finished and two in progress. @24in48 #24in48

I was about to start reading the tagged book when my hubby suggested going out to breakfast. Did someone say food....🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

Good day to cuddle with a book. The view from our front door. #snowday ❄️❄️❄️

My new job involves a long commute. Leisure time has been limited the past few months. One way to “read” is with this hilarious podcast. Give it a whirl: https://www.earwolf.com/show/obscure-with-michael-ian-black/

Hmmm, ok.

Saturday errands & a dental appointment precede my #24in48 plans. I need to finish the book. Too many interruptions lately. @24in48

I meant to post my books for season two of #Booked2018 & time got away from from me. Seasons 3 & 4 may suffer as personal projects & weddings are keeping me busy.

For #RoadTripGiveaway hosted by @LibrarianRyan I chose “Samba Pa Ti” by Santana: http://ultimateclassicrock.com/santana-songs/
The instrumental highs and lows of the song pair well with the ups & downs Julia experienced in the book. Translated as “Samba for you”, Julia dances around issues to please everyone. In the end, she has to realize it‘s just as important to Samba, i.e., dance for yourself.

This is a view of our condo complex from January. I‘m glad the snow is gone. If I was stuck at sea like the wild & adventurous men of The Odyssey, I‘d miss the roll top desk my parents gave us. #TheOdysseyBuddyRead @Abailliekaras

My mom with Jamie Ford. After I dragged her to a Booktopia event in 2013, she went to his next signing...without me. No complaints because my wise & wonderful mom has modeled respect, hard work & a love of reading.

#HumoDayPost @MinDea

I was excited to find time to visit an Indie bookstore, The Writer‘s Block, while out of town. The staff recommended local authors I couldn‘t resist. The irony was when a friend posted a link to the same store the very same day. https://www.lonelyplanet.com/usa/travel-tips-and-articles/11-authors-recommend-u...

Audible has a good sale going. Editor‘s picks are $6.95. The tagged book was recommended by @britt_brooke

Chilling & enjoying quiet time before the day gets busy with wedding festivities. Great hotel with gorgeous view.

If I was traveling, I would be lucky to land on Washington Island after crossing Death‘s Door. #theodysseybuddyread #week5 #portsandislands @Abailliekaras

My weekend is pretty busy. Any reading I do during #deweysreadathon will involve one of these two books.

During the press conference, it was noted that Michelle McNamara‘s book did not help in any way. I was angered then calmed by Patton Oswald‘s tweet. She coined the “Golden State Killer” after there had been different, and confusing, monikers. #murderino

We saw Patton Oswalt as we walked in the building. We‘re excited to hear him & Gillian Flynn chat.

#authorevent

Revenge: the poem/song about Aphrodite‘s affair with Ares & how her husband, Lord Hephaestus, sought revenge. Don‘t mess with immortals.
#theodysseybuddyread #week3
@Abailliekaras

To fans of Kathy Reichs, she is taking a sabbatical. I wish her rest & good health.

She posted an announcement on her website: https://kathyreichs.com/dear-readers/

I wrapped up season 1 of #Booked2018 on March 28th. I was hoping for lighthearted science and humor in the vein of Mary Roach. Alas, no 😏
The author stressed environmental issues affecting breast health. We can try to improve in what seemed to be a defeatist attitude: “Even if we clean up our planet tomorrow, the industrial detritus of the last century has a created a three-generational problem.”

An interesting read, just not what I expected.

A feast fit for Odysseus. #TheOdysseyBuddyRead
