I@miss being a cat mom. It‘s been two years since this sweet furry thug went to live with his new mommy and I still miss his 4am meows.

Elizabeth2 Aw. 😢 I had to rehome a kitty a long time ago when my oldest son developed a severe allergy as a baby. It was very hard. The family that adopted him kept in touch though. She even contacted me when he died. She had him for twice as long as I did, and yet she knew I‘d be heartbroken, too. ❤️ They stay in our hearts forever. 4y

Peep my book haul from the library today! One of the few things I adore about Maryland is the library system! There‘s always good stuff on the library sale bookshelves. Hardcovers for $1 and paperback $.50! I‘ve been spending a lot of time to myself in recent months, therefore I now have library cards for 3 different counties. 🤓

I finally finished this tonight. I started about a year ago after Anthony Bourdain died. I finished it on audiobook because it was comforting being read to. My Alex was a fan of Bourdain as well. I miss Alex so much. He was so smart and funny. Early mornings like this when I‘d get off work, sometimes Alex would wait up for me and we‘d talk or listen to music. Maybe he‘s had the opportunity to meet Bourdain in the hereafter. I hope so. 💔

Sitting at the laundromat, reading this great 2nd novel. Angie Thomas is phenomenal!

Reggie Ughhh, was the laundromat crazy on a Saturday? We used to have to fight for dryers. And there‘s always be that one person who would stick one T-shirt in 5 dryers to save them. Never have I ever wanted a bag of Cheetos so bad. Ps. I loved that book!!! 6y
Mariposa_Bookworm @Reggie there was one guy who kept drying his lunch box over and over again. The one I go to has these HUGE washers so I could do a lot of clothes in a short time. It‘s actually relaxing. 6y

Sooooo I‘ve been trying to like this and read it before watching the Netflix series. I‘m not really feeling it. The back and forth between the tapes and the listener (see I forgot his name, totally not invested) is off-putting and confusing. I suppose I‘ll watch The Closer instead.

britt_brooke It was a #pan for me. I didn‘t watch the show, but I‘ve heard it‘s better than the book. 6y
CaliforniaCay The show is definitely better. Devastating and uncomfortable to watch but better than the book for sure. 6y

Ok, so at the suggestion of my co-workers, I begin to read/watch Game of Thrones/ A Song of Ice and Fire. Then I got to Season 3 and I am officially DONE. George RR Martin currently makes me sick. Done. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 I still haven‘t finished the tagged book. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I struggled with how many POV characters were in the first book so only made it a tiny bit in before I read that the number increased each book - so I gave up. Haven‘t watched the show. What was your breaking point? 7y
DGRachel I watched the first episode and no more, but I‘ve read the first four books. I‘m curious as to what your breaking point with the TV show was, too. It‘s ok to hide it in a spoiler comment - just spill! 😂 7y

SarahSaysRead I think I stopped reading after the 3rd of 4th book. It got too long and ridiculous and boring and I hated half the characters. Never bothered with the show. This series is so overrated. 7y

BekahB HA!! Yep, book buying truths are hard to face. At the end of last year I entered all of my unread (physical) books into a spreadsheet and they totaled to 696.

I have to post how I‘m excited for the new Doctor! She‘s female!!! As much as some love to hate him, Stephen Moffat has written some phenomenal episodes. I love this show so much. #notbookRelated #loveGoodstories

booksandsympathy I'm looking forward to seeing the new Doctor. My husband and I both have to work ridiculously early tomorrow, so it'll have to wait. 7y
readordierachel Yes! So exciting! 7y
Mariposa_Bookworm @booksandsympathy You‘ll enjoy the Christmas special. I think it was well done. 7y

GrilledCheeseSamurai I enjoyed it. I was a little let down with the regeneration scene. I thought Capaldi deserved a hit more then that. The cliff hanger ending was awesome though! 🙌👍 7y
Liatrek I really enjoyed it. Shed a few tears but excited for the new Doctor. 7y
Petrichor74 I tried to watch it, but I missed the actual episode and only caught the tribute to Moffat and Capaldi... 7y
JacqMac It was pretty good. I‘m looking forward to the new girl. 😁 7y
KathyWheeler I‘m so glad Peter Calpadi went out on a good episode! I will miss him — I‘m never ready for the old Doctor to go — but I‘m excited for the new one too. I hope she says, “All this change and still not a ginger.” 😄 7y
Mariposa_Bookworm @GrilledCheeseSamurai I liked it though. I‘m tickled about how much Filch (David Bradley) looks like William Hartnell. 7y
Mariposa_Bookworm @KathyWheeler I agree! Ha ha!! 7y
rabbitprincess I wept BUCKETS 😭😭😭 I love Peter so much ♥️♥️ But I loved the episode and am really looking forward to meeting Jodie in more episodes! 7y
Mariposa_Bookworm @rabbitprincess I‘ve enjoyed her work on Broadchurch. I‘m excited to see what she brings to the role. 7y
rabbitprincess @Mariposa_Bookworm I have a theory that Twelve regenerated into Jodie because of all the awkward comments One was making 😂 And how is she going to get the Tardis back? The suspense!! 7y
Mariposa_Bookworm @rabbitprincess I love that theory!!! Twelve certainly called him out on it! 7y
KathyWheeler @rabbitprincess Those comments and 12‘s reactions to them made me laugh. 7y
rabbitprincess @KathyWheeler Agreed. I was cracking up! 7y

I‘ve gotten no reading done today, but I did make this delicious hot chocolate in the crockpot. I also convinced my mom to grab a copy of the tagged book for me. It‘s her book club‘s next selection. It‘s been an awesome day! Happy Christmas Everyone!!!!

Louise Now I want marshmallows with my next hot chocolate! 7y
Mariposa_Bookworm @Louise Yes! Do it! The crockpot made it nice and creamy. The marshmallows made it heaven! 7y
Louise I've never heard of making it in a crockpot. I'll have to Google that! Thanks for the inspiration! 👌 7y

I‘m traveling for the holidays and this sleepyhead is back home under the care of a loving aunt. How I miss reading on the couch with him beside me! When he sleeps like this, it must be some really GOOD sleep!🤣) #CatsofLitsy #OreoLequan #thugKitty

I didn‘t do well with 2017‘s challenge, so I am determined to redeem myself in 2018. The tagged book is both one I‘ve been meaning to read and currently is part of a trilogy. #WinWin #lrc

Ok soooooo maybe it‘s getting to be a slight problem...please ignore the Bath and Body Works obsession in the background. Apparently I like to smell good while reading books. Tee hee! 🤣

Walking Dead Book 10 | Robert Kirkman
post image

As I've said before, I've never watched this show. The graphic novels are so good that I want to watch the show (during the daylight hours with all the lights on). I've read books 8,9, and 10 today and graded zero essays. 😁

CindyMyLifeIsLit Walking Dead or grading essays—hmmm, which to choose? It‘s a tough one! However, I do believe you made the right choice! 😜 7y
Ingerella I'm the opposite. I've watched the show but never read a graphic novel. I just started the first compendium. It's really fun to read! 7y

I promised my son a day out together which means a day spent in bookstores. Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh, NC is such a beautiful store! I love that even at the age of 22, he still likes hanging out with Mom. ❤️

MrBook Sweet! 7y
Liatrek My son is 16 and still likes to hang out😊 I hope that never changes. (edited) 7y
Mariposa_Bookworm @Liatrek I hope so too! It's nice when they grow up to just be awesome people. 7y
TNbookworm I love this! My 20 year old daughter took me to Parnassus Books in Nashville last month for my birthday because she knew how much I wanted to visit the store. Grateful for awesome kids💕 7y
Mariposa_Bookworm @TNbookworm That's fantastic! I'm hoping we make it to Knoxville to Mckay's one day soon. 7y
