My landlord divided up the backyard at my house so now I actually HAVE a backyard. The swing is now up for outside reading and listening/watching the birds.
pickMy library's Books and Beans #bookclub had the bonus of a free psychic reading at the restaurant.
I really think I need this in my life. 😸 #hookersoflitsy
UPDATE (1 hour later): I just ordered it. I couldn't help myself. 😊
Holy Crap Batman! I just deleted almost 900 books (yes I should be working) from my “Want To Read“ shelf on #GoodReads and I still have over 1,100 on the list.
Plus, I have over 142 on my Wish List and I own over 500. Yikes! I'll never live long enough to read them all. #bookishproblems
Another FREE cozy from Amazon.

I may have gone a little #KindleDailyDeals crazy today.
@avanders a couple kindle cozies are coming your way too.
I want to watch the Amazon Prime show, so this one is up next.
I moved the spin bike over to the cozy corner in my bedroom. #shelfie

@wanderinglynn
I'm not sure what to start next. Maybe one of these.
Though I've just been sucked into Fortitude on Amazon Prime. This may take a while.
pickAnother solid Newbury & Hobbes. I 🖤💙🖤 these Steampunk adventures.
But, I am trying to pace myself in reading them because I just don't want it all to end.
Anyone else like this series?
Today's #bookhaul from the #librarybooksale.
This great stack includes 2 gifts for co-workers and 2 books I was actually hoping to find (tagged book and the Christie). I've also been interested in trying mosaics, so that book was a happy surprise find (another expensive hobby 😲). All for $7.50
#Bookmail number 3.
Thank you @SamHeartCoffee for the great #coffeebeanbookclub package. The coffee smells amazing!
This month's book looks really fun.
@Mommamanzi
#Bookmail number 1. I had to have a copy of this one for myself.

Good morning!
Happy Mother's Day!🎉
I'm feeling very domestic goddess today. There is pork shoulder in the crock pot for dinner. (I don't eat much meat but I had a craving) I made oat/Brazil nut milk for my smoothies this week. #FitnessBookChallenge
#FBC
Well, I've been very adult and productive today.
😹😹😹😹😹
Yay T-Mobile for the free latte.
Day one of the #Bookfitnesschallenge #BFC was a bust. I stress ate the day away.
Day two is starting out better.
I took my car for an oil change. Instead of waiting for it I walked home. When it is ready I'll walk back.
I'm also preparing for a Juice Feast to kick start my healthy eating plan. This bunch of lovely ladies are going to help me. 😊
@wanderinglynn
panThank you @jillannjohn for the #TEAMCTHULHU #HGPBC package. I love the metal feather!
I did not really care for the book, though I went through it pretty fast (with some skimming) so it obviously held my attention. It is something I would probably have loved years ago, but just not now.
However, it was much better than my pick for this rotation that I bailed on (sorry guys).
@BookwormAHN @TheReadingMermaid
Neither book is in the Litsy system.
Some #audiocrocheting to wind down before bed.
#hookersoflitsy
Well, this changes my weekend reading plans.
Some relaxing after straightening up.
I found this pic from the last #makerswap.
Since I'm not an “expert“ at anything, I changed the title to "Pretty Good At\Loving".
Hopefully this will not confuse my partner more.
I probably should take off soap making as I can't use anything with sodium laurel sulfate in it.
The good thing about so many doctor appointments is that I get to read and crochet during the work day. 😹

#Bookfitnesschallenge @wanderinglynn
I've been thinking more on this challenge, and want to set myself up for success.
So, my revised goals are-
7 books (at least 3 on nutrition, wellness, or fitness)
Minimum exercise of -
1/week cycling (indoor or outdoor)
1/week yoga, pilates, barre, TRX, or willpower & grace class
3/week rebounding
Daily- at least 1 green juice or nutribullet green smoothie
Daily - in bed by 10:30pm
I'm in a slump again. This is the third book I'm trying since Thursday.
I'm pretty sure that this one will snap me out of it. I love Newbury & Hobbes. I've been trying to space them out because I don't know what I'll do when I'm done with the series.
I believe the first book in the series was a #SFMBC selection. Thank you to whoever it was who introduced me to these! 🙏
Hades is not impressed.
@MommyOfTwo look what I found when I was breaking up the box my #SFMBC package came in. I 💚💜💙♥🖤 magnets. It's now on my fridge. Thank you!
Thank you all for your kind words. They have helped so much. This is such a loving community and I knew you would understand.
Persephone had a good life. She was found inside the engine of a car as a kitten. I met her when I went to adopt a different cat. Once we saw each other, we chose each other. She was my reading, tv watching, everything companion ever since. She liked to sit on my shoulder. Like a parrot. 😸
I miss I her so much.
Thank you @MommyOfTwo for this #SFMBC package. I really wanted this book (and it seems to have come at just the right time 😿). I'm looking forward to trying the homemade cookies. Thank you.
@Avanders
Not book related.
My sweet Persephone died today. We'd been together for over 15 years. I'm pretty shattered.
I'm also really sick of all this cancer shit.
#catsoflitsy #kittenlitten
I am a little late for two of these (April was a rough month).
They are going out tomorrow.
#LMPBC to @IndoorDame. (still need a box for this one).
#SFMBC to @jillannjohn
#HGPBC #TEAMCTHULHU to @TheReadingMermaid
@suvata @Avanders
Up next.
AFTER I watch the last two episodes of How to Get Away With Murder on Netflix.
pickI knew I would like this book right from the dedication. "To Ira Levin." A favorite author of mine; and a nod to Rosemary's Baby, a favorite book of mine. A wild ride with lots of menace.
I really enjoyed this book. It was fun and creepy. I did not guess the twist at the end.
I look forward to more Sager. He knows what I like! A solid ✩✩✩ 1/2
I received an advance copy from #Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Full review on Goodreads.
#Bookmail! #lmpbc #groupk
Thank you @umbrellagirl
For the extras. I don't have this Christie so thank you! And I am addicted to bookmarks.
@IndoorDame @BookwormAHN
I will send the one I have out either tomorrow or Friday.
pickThis was between a pick and so-so for me. I've never really "got" poetry so I didn't read it unless I had to.
I enjoyed and connected with some of these poems. Others I just skimmed. I am glad I read this book though; moving out of my comfort zone.
I have some highly anticipated titles on my #netgalley shelf. I think these are bumping all other #TBR books down the list.
#Bookmail
My latest obsession is working with herbs.
Today is also Local Yarn Shop Day. My yarn haul included 2 books. The felt kit may be for my #makerswap match; or maybe it's just for me. 😊
#hookersoflitsy
I've never read Ann Cleaves before, but how could I resist a #Netgalley book that I didn't even have to ask for?!? Plus, I'm just a sucker for mysteries.
This is also coming out in September. 🐍
I need this one!
I just saw this on Amazon. September seems so far away. This one is going to the top of my wish list.
These two really resonate with me at this time in my life.
This poem reminds of the Wayward Children's series by Seanan McGuire, which I love. I just finished In An Absent Dream. It is my favorite of the series so far, followed closely by Down Among the Sticks and Bones.
