#WondrousWednesday

🌸 More time to do crafts

🌸 Less passwords - I waste so much time recording them, losing them, looking them up, resetting them

🌸 Keeping my two rambunctious boys alive until adulthood (kidding not kidding) 🤪

Thanks for the tag, @Eggs !

Our 9-month-old great-nephew came to visit! (He brought his parents, too. 😉) It was such a joy to witness his first sight of the ocean, first time he put his toes in the sand and waves. 🌊🏖️☀️💙

Way too many coincidences in this one to suit me. But still a fun read!
#NancyDrewBR @Librarybelle

Two really excellent books involving a #Heist .

My nominations for #CampLitsy24 . @squirrelbrain @Megabooks @BarbaraBB

Set primarily in 1940s France and 1960s Atlanta, this book is a testament to the strength of the human spirit to survive despite unimaginable circumstances and suffering. It realistically portrays the different ways survivors deal with the after effects of such suffering, and showcases how time, faith, determination, hard work, and love (both human and divine) can help the slow process of healing. Tough but worthwhile reading. Christian Fiction.

#WondrousWednesday a day late. ☺️ Thanks for the tag, @Eggs ! This was really fun to think about.

I loved these books as a child!
#SpectacularSpring #Twins @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I have quite a nice variety in my #ReadYourKindle books this month! @CBee

#SpringSkies #AboutArt @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I am reading this book as a year-long read, 2 masterpieces per week. I‘m learning so much! Rick Steves writes in a very reader-friendly style, explaining why each piece is important. It‘s like a mini Art History class!

If anyone is interested in tracking your #BookedInTime reading, I have created a Booked In Time Challenge on StoryGraph. It is not a public challenge (so it won‘t show up in a search on SG), but anyone with the link can join:

Feel free to join! 🙂

It has been years since I read this book, but I remember loving it.

#SpringSkies Animal POV #LitsyLove @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Mesmerizing. Brutal. Poignant. And so very important. I am so glad I read this book.

#EuropaCollective

An uplifting story of group of women coming together to support each other through the dark days of World War II in war-torn Kent, England. Watching these typical, normal village women find their inner strength and grow in independence, while also caring for each other, is so inspiring. Most of the women are flawed, some are not likable, and many of them make mistakes, but they all persevere, doing the best they can in extraordinary times. ⬇️

My choice for #BookedInTime this month is By Fire, By Water. I know very little about the #SpanishInquisition , so this should be an interesting read. @Cuilin

Whew! This was a hard choice! I really wanted to say “both” on every question. 😂
Thanks for the tag, @Eggs

I‘m looking forward to reading The President‘s Hat as my #ReadOrDonate selection this month. It has been sitting on my bookshelf for years. 🎩. Plus, it takes place in Paris! 🎶 April in Paris… 🎶

The very boring cover of my e-book cannot dim my excitement about re-reading Rebecca with the #HashtagBrigade this month! @BarkingMadRead

My IRL Book Club reads for April are Searching for Eternity and The Covenant of Water (first half).

Happy April, #LitsyLove members! Here is our April #LitsyLoveBingo board. Have fun with it! Remember to use the hashtag in your posts. 😀

My April #BookSpin list. Excited for a new month of reading! @TheAromaofBooks

Okay, fellow blitzers, it‘s time to round up our April issues - no matter how old they are - for our #MonthlyMagazineBlitz ! Happy Spring Reading!🌷

Oh my goodness, @Eyelit ! It was wonderful to come home from vacation and open this box of delights! 💖 It is amazing how you managed to choose such perfect things for me! That ladybug bookmark is too adorable for words! 🐞The books, stationery, amazing puzzle, tea, snacks, stickers, stationery, and fabulous pencils... you have spoiled me for sure! Thank you so much. 💝
And thanks to @KateReadsYA for hosting this #LitsyFoundFamilySwap !

No Bingos for me this month. ? How did everyone else do with #LitsyLoveBingo ? #LitsyLove members, remember to turn in your points to @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks , to be entered into the drawing for a "happy"! Each bingo equals 1 point, a coverall is 10 points.
@Read4life @TieDyeDude

This was not my favorite Heyer. It was a bit too silly at times. And I have learned that I want to like the female protagonist in a Heyer novel - I want to root for her and see her happy - and I just wasn‘t a fan of Cleone.
@mabell @Chrissyreadit @TheAromaofBooks

Looks like I will be visiting Italy, Alaska and Nova Scotia for #Roll100 in April!
@PuddleJumper

What has everyone chosen to #ReadOrDonate in April? I‘m still deciding…

Quick breakfast before heading out to see Tortola. So excited!!!

Hello fellow Blitzers! How are your #MonthlyMagazineBlitz efforts going so far this month? I‘m about halfway through my pile so far, but I have a long car ride tomorrow and I‘m hoping to finish a bunch of them.
 @TheBookHippie @Roary47 @Susanita @LapReader @Kristin_Reads @Crinoline_Laphroaig

Yay! I finally completed my #WickedWords for January… it has taken me a bit to find a book where Colorado figured into the story. In the tagged book, one of the main characters is from Colorado. ✔️😀
@AsYouWish

@Eyelit Yay!! It's here!!!! Thank you! 😃🥰
#LitsyFoundFamilySwap @KateReadsYA

A lovely, calm, relaxing read. So civilized and satisfying. Perfect with a cup of tea on a quiet afternoon. Another pleasant #FurrowedMiddleBrowClub pick.

#LitsyFoundFamilySwap on its way to you, @Eyelit ! 😀

Aaahhhh.... #HyggeHourReadathon ... the perfect way to end a weekend! #HyggeHour #LitSolace #Naturalitsy
@AllDebooks @Chrissyreadit @jenniferw88 @TheBookHippie

An absolutely gripping historical novel about the life of Brian Boru, the first king to unite Ireland in the 10th Century. Intrigue, battles, politics, dreams, determination, Christians, pagans, druids, Vikings, romance… this book has it all! Great on audio… the kind of book that makes you lose track of time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks, @Cuilin for another great #BookedInTime theme - Ancient Celtic Ireland. #ThemesMotifs&Tropes - A Quest (2 points)

The Lucy Stone books always make me feel like I‘ve plopped right down into the middle of her life. This one centers around the town‘s upcoming St. Patrick‘s Day Parade, and includes work problems, a death in the family, possible corruption, a potential long-lost relative, and of course, a murder. Very entertaining!

Today is Thursday, but better late than never, I suppose. We are in the mountains this week, and the weather has been foggy/misty/rainy every day. Perfect cozy reading weather! 😀📚📚📚

I managed to complete 5 of my 7 hoped-for reads during the #20in4 #FabulousFebruary Readathon. Thanks for the motivation, @Andrew65 ! The remaining two books are migrating into March.
