The laziest of lazy Sunday mornings! 😻😻😴 Messy covers, don‘t care. 🤷🏻♀️
Best thing about my #bfc evening walks: the scenery, the delicious smell of the honeysuckle all along the park, and getting to listen to Henry & Alex bicker & make up.
Worst thing: the MOSQUITOS! 🦟 They are out in full force due to all the rain we‘ve had.
My fitness goal was only partially attained this week, since life happened. But I‘m looking forward to a new week! #bookfitnesschallenge
I am so excited to start this! The Kiss Quotient was one of my surprise LOVES of last year, so I am eager to jump right into this before work today! Just downloaded the audiobook too, now trying to motivate myself to take my daily walk for #bfc It was a crazy late night at work last night, so I am dragging a little this morning. Coffee & my birds are helping me feel alive again though! 💕☕️🐦📖 #bookfitnesschallenge
Holy moly, I am blown away! I was out back planting some succulents last night when my husband came out & said “You have a package from Australia!”
@Rissreads Nerissa, I am in LOVE with this UK cover of The Bear and the Nightingale! For me, British covers are always so much lovelier than American covers. And I have been wanting to read this for some time! Thank you for thinking of me & for the sweet card & bookmark. You are so sweet! #litsylove
I am super excited to join the #bookfitnesschallenge and thank you so much @wanderinglynn for hosting it!
It‘s perfect because it ends the day before we leave on our cruise & I‘ll have motivation & accountability to get in better shape!
I set my goals as 9 books in the 6 weeks and 3 days walking/2 days biking per week!

My crazy & beautiful life has been hard to balance lately, but coming home to a #litsylove care package from @AmyG just made me feel so wonderful!
I can‘t wait to read this. It looks so good! And based on the blurb, sounds like it fits the #beautifulcrazy prompt to a T! Thank you so much for thinking of me, Amy. 💕💌 I really love our snail mail chats!

Not sure if Ali loves Steinbeck or just wants to attack his sister‘s tail as it swooshes by. 😹

Oh, Oklahoma! Not exactly how I was planning to spend my last day before heading back to work! ⚡️⛈🌪 It‘s officially springtime in the Midwest. Surprisingly, like most Okies, I could sit and watch weather for hours & hours and never get tired of it. Conversely ratchets up my anxiety & soothes me at the same time. 🤷🏻♀️
Starting this one now. Another #blameitonlitsy choice, brought to me by @sprainedbrain this time. I‘m very susceptible recently it seems. 🤣🤷🏻♀️ Enjoying just a couple more days before heading back to work. Sitting out back watching the storm clouds roll in now. Man I love the smell of rain! #booked2019 #nightorientedtitle
This is a total #blameitonlitsy and I couldn‘t be happier! 💕 I am flying through it but don‘t want it to end. Thanks to @IheartYA for the post that I first saw this & knew I had to have it. It‘s so good! Plus, perfect for #booked2019 #foodorbeverageoncover Enjoying a beautiful Oklahoma day & one of my favorite things: #readingoutside
#readjarder2019 #task1
pickExcuse the face, I think I cried for 3 hours straight! No tears left. 😭 But it was so good!! And so many thoughts to write in the journal. 🤗🧡💜💛💚❤️💙 So glad the parents & kiddo could join me. #avengers #endgame #avengersendgame
pickA heartbreaking love story. These two just seep into your bones over time, and everything they are feeling feels so heavy to you too. It‘s painful. It‘s hurtful. And hopeful? The characters are compelling. Lonely. And frustrating, but in a completely relatable way. I had no idea what to expect going in, but listening to the audiobook I was hooked right away. It also deals with some pretty heavy issues, but in a very realistic way. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I‘m probably overdoing it, but I don‘t care! I NEED to be planting after a rainy morning & now beautiful 63°, no wind day! ⛅️??? Started this #audiobook and now I‘m 3.5 hours in and loving it! Really enjoying the characters. Is it going to break my heart?! ?♥️?

Hiding in the back seat of the truck between volley ball games. My body is not having a full day of VB in the seats today. 😔 Debating between starting this for #booked2019 #nightorientedtitle or taking a nap! 😴
“She say, Celie, tell the truth, have you ever found God in church? I never did. I just found a bunch of folks hoping for him to show. Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me. And I think all the other folks did too. They come to church to share God, not find God.”
#church #springintoreading
Hi guys! I‘ve been missing you all. Thanks so much to everyone who has been checking in on me! I‘m doing ok! Just been too tired to do much at all.
I knew after this surgery it would be hard to focus on reading. So I decided to make my way through the MCU, in chronological order. It‘s all I‘ve been doing for 7 days, in-between naps/sleep. Refresher on some, some I‘d missed entirely. Non-release order gave it a new feel I think. Only 1 to go!
When standing out is a bad thing... Just like in a lot of dystopian fiction, #cliques are the key to staying alive in this story. And looking like & thinking like 5000 other girls is a good thing. But where would the fun be in that?🤷🏻♀️🤣
Happy to feel well enough to take a pic out back today & what a difference a week made with these blooms. Although we‘ll be close to freezing another night I guess.😭With a deluge tomorrow. #springintoreading
No time for any true #selfcaresunday. Surgery in the morning & have to be at the hospital at 5:30am. But stealing a few moments out back while I chug this bowel prep in my Thunder cup hoping it‘ll go down easier, lol! 🤢
Also trying to finish Wuthering Heights since I have never read it. I must say, this is not the story I thought it was going to be. 🤣🤣 These are some really terrible people. Do people really love this? Somebody tell me why?
Eight hours of 🏐 down and we‘re waiting on the next matchup! 😬💜 Plenty if downtime reading today. Although it‘s starting to get a little uncomfortable. Really enjoying this YA about lots of almosts & ‘the time that Time lost‘. 💛💙 Plus, total #coverlove 😍
Home from work just in time to snap a quick pic for the #flowers prompt for #springintoreading This is my first challenge pic of the month, but I knew I couldn‘t miss this one. And this is one of my favorite floral covers ever in my favorite floral pot from my mommy! 💕🌷🌹💐
Plus, I‘m having surgery Monday, so it‘ll be a while before I can do any more planting/gardening. 😭😭😭 Had to get a few things done out back this week!
What a treat! You are beyond thoughtful @alwaysbeenaloverofbooks! 💕 I have been wanting to read this book for some time! And you KNOW I adore this postcard! 🌷🌹💐 So beautiful! I don‘t have many flowers peeking through just yet, but these purple phlox decided to bloom just in time to take a pic for you! Also, I am in love with these #litsylove bookmarks. Thanks so much to you and @TheBookHippie for having those made. ☺️
Oh, my goodness Helen! It got too late to post this last night. My heart is so full! ☺️ Thank you so much for sharing this piece of your honeymoon with me! 💕🧳✈️ The wooden bookmark from South Africa is just beautiful & the Parisian postcard & bookmark make me feel like I am right there! I am blessed! And I‘ve been inspired to keep all my #litsylove in my vintage train case. So just like reading, I‘m traveling the world with lovely friends! 😍
Running out the door to pick up the kiddo from school & the postman hands me a beautifully floral pack of #litsylove! Can not wait to open it when I get home @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thank You!!! 💕

#whatwouldyoudo
1) Outlander...Not my fave, but it‘s long & utterly re-readable. 📖☺️
2) Jamie...of course. 🤷🏻♀️😍
3) Claire. Sorry, love you girl, but one of y‘all has to go. 😜
4) The Tartans! How else are we gonna cuddle on that desert island. 🤣
@Stacypatrice @Kerrioke
#booked2019 winter season prompts complete! I feel like booked & #readharder both are helping me to read some new things I never would have explored otherwise! ❤️ The tagged book, for example. So thankful for the Litsy community who has brought such fun challenges into my life!
When you need to finish your online training before your upcoming CPR class, but you have JUST ONE MORE #booked2019 winter book to finish. There‘s no teacher here to scold me for not paying attention, so... 🤷🏻♀️
Precious and I, along with @whatsthEstorey, are keeping the kiddo company in the gym tonight. I‘m worn out just watching her! 😓 Trying to check another off the #booked2019 winter season before it ends Sunday!
What a treat this card was Elisabeth! I love getting to know you so well & you‘re right, we have so much in common! 💕 I‘ll be sending some #litsylove back your way shortly! 😍📚❤️
pickWhen ‘fake it until you make it‘ has a whole new meaning....
Y‘all, this story is the real deal!! John Carreyou wrote a fascinating narrative. The audiobook by Will Damron is utterly listenable. I don‘t usually love non-fiction, but this story took over my life for 2 days. My jaw just kept dropping from beginning to end. I want to watch The Inventor, but I‘m afraid it won‘t be as all-encompassing and I‘ll be let down! So good!Read it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Happy ‘Sun‘day beautiful Littens. Hope you all have a lovely, brightness filled day wherever you are!
I‘m #audiojournaling to the tagged book and working on a little #litsylove. Hoping to finish my others for the #booked2019 winter prompt before the end of the week. 😄
What‘s everyone reading/listening to today? I‘m enjoying my last day before the end of Spring Break and back to work tomorrow. 😭
The sun is shining & it‘s spring break. It‘s a no make-up, #readingoutside kinda day. Perfect for continuing this YA paranormal series. Still really enjoying the witchy characters & New Orleans vibe. 💜🖤💗💙🔮🧛🏻♂️
Finally, finally, finally had time to get some #litsylove packages and responses mailed out! 💗📚💕 I am so slow 🐢, but I‘m having a blast! Working on more as I write this. Hope you are all having a beautiful Tuesday! It‘s the last day of winter, everyone!! 🎉💛🌷💚🌸💜🌼🌳🤗
One of my faves from Lewis Carroll, a nice little surprise at the beginning of Part 3. Also, #readingoutside before work, because we finally have one of those gorgeous ‘spring is in the air‘ Oklahoma mornings! 📚☕️💗💜🌸🌼🌷🌸💛💚
pickFinally working on some #litsylove this morning before work. Decided to include some of these in my cards as a fun way get to know everyone better. Conversation starting questions on the back plus a notecard with my answer to add yours to & pass along. Hope that‘s something you will all enjoy. If not, it was fun just answering for all of you. 🤗📚 I work all weekend, but will have some mail going out by Monday! 💕✍🏻💌 #litchat #bookriot
@Stacypatrice you made my week with your #litsylove! After a really rough few days at work, having my husband say “you got a pen pal letter” just about brought me to tears! 💞 I was in the bath and shouted “bring it to me!” 🤣 Thank you so much! Sorry I just now had time to post, but know that it meant so much & I can‘t wait to send some love back your way! 😻
I joined Litsy just over 3 years ago. February 28, 2016. I had no idea what I was doing and sometimes I still don‘t! ☺️ My #firstlike (and only) was @jessberk13 Thanks for being there from the beginning! My Litsy time was and is sporadic due to work/kiddo/life, but I love this place & I love you all. And I still love this quote & this book! 📚🤓 #firstlikes
When your daughter is your life & volleyball is her life...🏐💜🏐💜 So glad I have Daisy to keep me company in-between games! 📚🤓 I am really loving this book!
It‘s #internationalwomensday and #fridaynightbookclub and we are on the road again for volleyball. Luckily the Amazon Prime van was only 2 stops away as we were packing the truck. Daisy Jones arrived right before we left. Yay for #bookmail! Happy Friday, Littens! 😍📚
Celebrating the last hour of Mardi Gras! New Orleans is one of my absolute favorite places in the US! So much history, culture, music, legend, & mystery. 💚💛💜🎷🎭👑 If you haven‘t heard the story of the Casket Girls of the Ursuline Convent (while on a ghost tour), you are missing out! 🧛🏻♀️🤣 Decided to dive into this series, since I believe it has a good New Orleans feel & it‘s one I haven‘t read. Do you have a favorite New Orleans story?
I‘m better w/ pics. ?
1: journaling, antiquing *I love thrift stores/used books-quite addicted!, turning old things to new, bird watching, taking pictures, biking, COFFEE (is that a hobby??), sitting on my back porch with a book.
2: contemporary fiction, YA, romance, some historical fiction, mystery, & fantasy. Anything!
3: 3 cats that are my whole world. Josie (17yo) Ali (~7yo named after Muhammad) & Noël (my ~3yo wild haired girl).

My husband has loved Wilco & Jeff Tweedy for as long as I can remember. Tonight I finally got to experience Tweedy in person with him. It was pretty spectacular. Plus, #bookswag! Now I can‘t wait to read his memoir! Yay for music & books! 🎶📖🤓
My day off, because I work all weekend. ? Spending the morning #audiojournaling (this book is kinda an intense listen so far). I‘m so excited to jump into #litsylove and make some new bookish friends & pen pals! Big thanks to Misty for getting it all organized! Obviously Noël thinks she is mommas best helper too! #catsoflitsy
#brunchandabook Brunch, now an afternoon full of volleyball! 💜🏐💜🏐 The place we ate brunch uses books to deliver the check. How perfect is that?
My hubby & daughter made this momma so happy today by getting up early & heading to downtown OKC with me! The Friends of the Metropolitan Library System #librarybooksale was this weekend and it was packed & amazing! Happy girl! #bookheaven
“To belong to someone—I didn‘t know it, but now that I think about, it seems like that‘s all I‘ve ever wanted. To really be somebody‘s, and to have them be mine.” #romanticquote #literarylove
Wanted to start a new book today, but the teenager was home from school & sucked me in with the words “Peter K.” He is still the best #bookboyfriend *sigh*
Side note, just finished One Day in December and sadly did not love it, so looking to bounce back!
Christmas Romance on Valentine‘s Day? Sure, why not? 🤷🏻♀️♥️🥰 Enjoying this day off with the last few hours of almost 70 degrees before it gets cold again. #bemyvalentine #literarylove
