I still need to figure out my goals for the 9 day #JoysOfJune Readathon.
Choose your own goals and join us for this low key readathon. Hosted by @Andrew65

#CampLitsy23
This was between a soft pick and so-so for me. It started slow for me and I almost bailed a few times. I stuck with it, found part‘s interesting and I‘ve enjoyed seeing what others have thought.
#BookSpinBingo

#WickedWords #summer
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD #TBRtarot #BookSpinBingo

This is the second Meghan Quinn audiobook I‘ve listened to on a long road trip. It was light & funny. This time we escaped to beautiful Santorini.
#BookSpinBingo #ISpyBingo

Week 1 pick.

I didn‘t enjoy this as much as People We Meet on Vacation. I was given this book by another vacationer while we were in St. Thomas.
I saw another review that praised how accurately Henry described life in Michigan and Up North summers. I‘m not familiar with either. Does anyone else agree/disagree with that?
#14Books14Weeks2023 #BookSpinBingo #ISpyBingo

Two books finished last week in May & two in June.
#RandomClassic #AuthorAMonth #buddyread #BookSpinBingo

My reading plan for this week. Still a few more days of vacation so there might be more time spent swimming than reading. 🤓

Enjoying this one pool side today. My daughter is reading along with us, @TheBookHippie 🤓
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD

I got a bingo on my May #ISpyBingo board! I also got 1 more for February, 6 more for March & 1 for April!

I really tried to follow the schedule for this buddy read over on Fable. I really did. I was just too into the audiobook and kept going 🤓
I loved the characters & the story.

#WeekendReading
Hopefully the weather will allow for some outside reading this weekend.

Here‘s my June #BookSpinBingo board.
@TheAromaofBooks

Here‘s my June #TBRtarot book. It‘s also our #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD book for June. I love a book that covers multiple challenges & buddy reads 🤓

My #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin books for June 🤓

#RandomClassic @TheAromaofBooks

I enjoyed diving into a classic I really can‘t remember reading before. I liked the story & how Twain wrote it. Thank you for putting it back on my radar, Sarah 🤓

I cleared more shelf space in May & did a nice job working on my various challenges.
#AuthorAMonth #BookSpinBingo #Roll100 #SeriesLove2023

I read several solid, well written, good books in May. Speak (Laurie Halse Anderson) has stayed with me. I‘m glad I finally read it 🤓

May was a good reading month 🦋
I cleared my #BookSpinBingo board.

My ‘Not So‘ #GuiltyPleasure for June‘s #TitleAndTunes
My biggest reading pleasure is when my daughter asks me to read books. This is one she‘s asked me to read while she‘s on break from college.
This song comes on and I always end up singing along. Even in public ☺️

2 American women answer an add to run a coffee shop in Scotland. They don‘t know anything about Scotland or running a business. But, they do drink coffee so what could go wrong?
A cast of lovable, sweet, and (sometimes) frustrating characters made this rom-com a pick for me. An Audible free listen and I loved the narration.

#20in4 stats

I hit my goal of 20+ hours reading, finished 4 books & kept up with 3 buddy reads.
Thanks for hosting, @Andrew65

#Two4Tuesday @TheThe @TheSpineView

1. Speak was my favorite read in May
2. I didn‘t DNF any but it looks like St. Patrick‘s Day on St. Barts will carryover into June.

We saw some great sunrises & sunsets in Wyoming & South Dakota.
I love the body positive messages in this series & the friendships that are formed. This is another series I read with my daughter.
#20in4 #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2023

Another travel audiobook & a pic from Devil‘s Tower.
This book was slow to get started & I didn‘t care about most of the characters. There were some twists which kept me listening.
#20in4 #BookSpinBingo

This is a soft pick for me. I listened to it on our trip home from Wyoming with a visit to Mt. Rushmore. An unreliable narrator, secrets, infidelity and a fairly well written thriller. This one just didn‘t wow me like previous books by this author.
#20in4 @Andrew65

Speak was the east pick for my favorite read of last week. Thanks to some wonderful Littens I‘ll be checking out the graphic novel and the movie 🤓

Hoping to finish St. Pat‘s on St. Barts by the 31st for #TitlesandTunes.
The others will probably fall in June since I have several buddy reads and I‘m reading The Fixer with my daughter for Junes #TitlesandTunes.

#audiobook listening while driving across country has really helped my #20in4 stats. Plus it helped keep my mind off the fact that my son is now SO far away. 😢

#WeeklyUpdate

Finished 8 books

Started the #20in4 Readathon

Hubby and I are listening to audiobooks as we drive home from Wyoming. Today should be another good ‘listening‘ day.

“What the hell are you doing in here?”

My long weekend reading plans.

#NaturaLitsy

I love butterflies especially blue ones 🦋
Thanks to #NaturaLitsy, I picked up a book that I probably would not have. I‘m not a big nonfiction reader but I enjoyed learning about these beautiful 🦋🦋.

Already posting for June? Wow.

Here‘s my June #BookSpinBingo list 🤓

I was fortunate enough to have met Laurie many years ago. Speaking with her was refreshing and engaging. She gifted my daughter several of her books signed & personalized. She was amazing.
Somehow, I never picked this one up. I‘m so glad I remedied that. This book is excellent. I can‘t wait to get home & discuss it with my daughter. (She reread it after finding out I hadn‘t read it)

My #20in4 goal is simply to read for 20 or more hours. These are the books I‘ll most likely be reading.

I couldn‘t believe there was no wait for this audiobook on Libby. (There is now)
I‘m happy Fizzy got her own story. It was great seeing Jess & River again, too.
#BookSpinBingo #ISpyBingo #fireworks

Join @Andrew65 for May‘s #20in4 #readathon.

I‘ll be traveling so I‘ll need to think about the audiobooks hubby & I will listen to on our drive.

#WickedWords
May‘s words are complete 🤓

I love Hilderbrand‘s writing. While this isn‘t one of my favorites by her, it‘s still very much a pick.
#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
#Roll100 @PuddleJumper

My ebook was due back and had someone waiting for it, so no renewal. I had to finish it ahead of our #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD reading schedule. I won‘t spoil anything here. Simply put… I loved it!

#weeklyforecast

My hands down favorite read last week 💙

#WeeklyUpdate
A slow reading week for me. I knew last week & the next two weeks would be slow with everything going on and a few trips.
#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
#AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD @TheBookHippie
#Roll100 @PuddleJumper

I loved this one! A ghost, a diverse cast of characters with well developed storylines & Hilderbrand‘s writing. So good.
#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Gaiman said he wanted to write a book where the dad is fabulous after the way he portrayed the father in The Graveyard Book.
This was a great read. Super quick. I loved the story the father told to turn a grocery run for milk into an adventure.

#118 of 2023

I‘ve finished 2 #AuthorAMonth books. Neither came close to The Devil in the White City for me. Perhaps, I will reread White City but I‘m not planning to read any new-to-me Larson books this month.
