Started this one on my audio walk. #bfc #bfcr2 #bookfitnesschallenge #audiowalk

@Mitch my #BFC #bfcr2 leader posted a selfie and gor out of her comfort zone. With a near 11 yo i am not sure I am allowed to hate selfies but I do. We need to see beauty in the flaws! @phatsallylee @Blaire @Itchyfeetreader @Chrissyreadit @sudi @ErinSueGreads #selfie

Getting in a little late morning reading on the deck before it gets too hot!!! #summerreading

After an active day (morning run, some time in the lab, afternoon yoga, evening karate), Sonny and I are chilling with a western! #bfc #bfcr2 #bookfitnesschallenge #dogsoflisty #sonnythemutt @wanderinglynn @Mitch

This was cute. Fluff but fun. If you need a nice easy fun read, this is it!

This evenings audio walk! Beautiful! #bfc #bfcr2 #bookfitnesschallenge #audiowalk

After a long drive back from OCMD, we are back at the Jersey Shore. There was a beautiful breeze and I decided to get a run in. #bcf #bcfr2 #bookfitnesschallenge

To read or watch Deathly Hallows? At little of both. Reading through the commercials. 😂

I met my goals this week for #bfcr2 #bfc #bookfitnesschallenge . It was a crazy week with 5 days of dance competition with my daughter and trying to fit in fun with family at the beach while we are in OCMD. Thanks for the support for my group! Good week. @wanderinglynn @Mitch

Last Day of Vacation! Getting in some beach time and some book time! #summerreading #summervacay

My happy place with a book! Simply the best!! #summerreading #summervacay

After a long drive and a ride on a ferry boat, we have made to Ocean City, Maryland! A little reading and a little pool! #summervacay #summerreading

Spent the day at the beach. Beautiful!!
More importantly I met all my goals this week! Ran 3x, karate 2x, yoga 3x, 10,000 steps 5x, and 1 book down! #bfc #bfcr2 #bookfitnesschallenge @wanderinglynn @Mitch

I‘m reading. He is playing video games. But I love that my 8 yo will still sit with me. Not sure how much longer it last. Enjoying it!

My morning run/walk is done! I don‘t run well when the temp is about 70 F but I made myself do it. The walk home up hill was great! 🤪😂 #bfc #bfcr2 #bookditnesschallenge @wanderinglynn @Mitch

Getting in some reading after 🥋 class and 🧘‍♀️ this evening! #bfc #bfcr2 #bookfitnesschallenge @wanderinglynn @Mitch

Audio packing my daughter‘s dance costumes and supplies. Tagged book is appropriate for this task. #notavacation #audiopacking

I wasn‘t sure about this in the beginning. It is so different from the rest of Rainbow Rowell‘s other books and very much a Harry Potter wanna be. However, reading Fangirl first and thinking of Cath writing it really helped. I love the Simon and Baz dynamic. 4.5 ✨

Evening audio walk! Beautiful in SE PA! #bfc #bfcr2 #bookfitnesschallenge

Blurry running shot! Day 2 of #bfcr2 #bookfitnesschallenge #bfc and I am feeling great. Morning run, karate this even and well over my 10k steps! I started and new book last night and plan to read tonight during the Mets vs Phillis. Go Mets! I hope everyone is staying upbeat and positive! @wanderinglynn @Mitch @sudi @Emjay9116 @Chrissyreadit @Blaire @Itchyfeetreader

Anyone else out there a dance mom. My daughter‘s recital was today and then she has two more weeks of practice and nationals! It is totally cutting into my reading time and introvert lifestyle. But I do love watching this kid dance! #dancemom #feelingthepain #needsomedowntime #needmybook

Not a book related post but this dog is my ♥️♥️! My Gus Gus! I thought the dog lovers would get a kick of him in his hat! #dogsoflitsy #doglover #gusthepug

@Mitch @wanderinglynn

You could see the soupy humidity on my run/walk this morning. I hate this weather! Bring on Autumn! 🍂 But I was out there getting it done! #bfc #bookfitnesschallenge

Just dropped my daughter at dance class and the boys are at baseball practices. Now I am ready for a little me time with my book! #readingmom

My daughter and I are buddy reading this as part of her summer reading olympics. Cute so far! #buddyread #summerreading

Not sure how I have not heard of this series before. Each book just gets better. This is the 3rd and I just love the complexity of the characters. If you like fantasy ya, this is a good one!

Today was a busy day! It shows in my Fitbit even though I sat through a 2 hour baseball game, 1 hour mass and 2 hours at dinner. I don‘t official start yet but exciting for #bfc #bookfitnesschallegne round 2!

Some signs you are empathic. I am pretty sure I was born empathic but also I believe being an avid reader has made me more empathic. I would not change it for all the world! #empathy

Kids last day of school. Getting a little reading in before I pick them up. #summerreading

Finished this one today thanks to morning traffic. I enjoyed this one more than the series. Kids are still unhappy with adults and who they are ruling the empire. Magic is important for the survival of mortals and immortals but not exactly sure how yet. I felt the characters were much more developed and layered. 3.5 ⭐️

Sonny and I finished this one tonight. I really enjoyed this. Cath an anxiety-ridden introvert that is a successful fanfic writer goes to college pretty much alone after her twin sister decides she needs to meet new people. What unfold is a beautiful story of family, finding love, finding herself and finding her own writing voice. #dogsoflitsy #sonnythemutt

“‘Happily ever after, or even just together ever after is not cheesy,‘ Wren said. ‘It‘s the noblest, like, the most courageous thing two people can shoot for.‘” This might be the best description of marriage that I have read. ♥️♥️♥️

Totally love that the hubby volunteered to drive both kids to their activities so I could have some reading time! Gus and I just get to chill! #dogsoflitsy #gusthepug #supportivehusband

1. Yes, Philadelphia Zoo!
2. May 29th, for my son‘s 2nd grade trip!

Thankful for audiobooks when their is unexpected traffic on the way into the lab! #audiotraffic #audiobook

#audiobook laundry folding, sorting, and putting away. I hate 🧺!

I went with Fangirl! #makemereadit

#makemereadit What should I read next? So many choices!

Normal middle class women unexpectedly walks into the world of super rich Asians in Singapore. She experience highs and horrible lows associate with the wealth and prejudice of this society. Fun and cute. Exactly what you expect from a rom com.

This is how Gus and I will be spending the afternoon before I go get the kids from school. #summerreading #dogsoflitsy #gusthepug

Good beginning to this fantasy series. Three kingdoms, two plot to invade and take over one. Young people suck in the crosshairs of adult families members and they don‘t like it. Death, magic, a little romance. I will read the next one.

Trying to keep up my black belt habits, this mornings audio run/walk. Sticky morning in SE PA. Has anyone read this series? Interesting so far.

Anyone else need/want this cup? Haha! #introvertpower #iwannagohomeansread

After a crazy weekend for my family with a black belt test, a dance competition, a baseball game and paying our respect to Grandmom on her birthday, it is now time for some relaxing and reading!

After months away from Litsy and my reading to complete my blackbelt training, I have done it. It was a tough 3 months and I have missed Litsy so much. I am so happy to be back and ready to read my heart out. Our karate journey will continue but with a little less intensity!
