Movie night! 😍

4✨ This book was a true work of art. Starting off with the pure symphony of descriptive writing. The twists and turns were amazing, and completely unexpected. This is one I‘ll need to read again because there is so much depth I‘m pretty sure I missed something. While I don‘t like the relationship or the fact that I know the narrators thoughts, but not her name was an interesting element. Definitely would recommend.

On Netflix there are now games. Here is a reading one we found. You have to use words to figure out the puzzle as you walk on the words. You see the character being taken out by a bear trap. You need to jump over it so you activate jump. Pretty cute!

Kiddos book haul. 🥰💛

Book haul. Finally got some of my taxes money in so I treated myself. 🥰💛

Man… I‘m at the voting table. I didn‘t need my ruler after all @dabbe 🤣🤣🤣

Chaperoning prom tonight. Feeling cute with my 8-bit bow. Might tell kids they are dancing too close. 🤣💛

3✨ I‘ve had this ebook for a long time. We have our characters in a very long war. Myranda was orphaned because of this war and has no interest in fighting. She moves from place to place until she meets a mysterious stranger that is actually kind. She then find herself learning very quickly from elemental masters. Plus she finds a is loved by a pet dragon. There is a lot of backstory in this book, so hoping the next book will be even more epic!

4✨ I did not really want to put this down. It was interesting from the start. Even though I had predictions it didn‘t completely pan out how I thought it would. I wouldn‘t say it was a happy ending because from the beginning we know her sister is not going to come back. While I enjoyed the story. I struggled with the timeline. Lena told one story, the police officer gave another perspective, and when we went into the past #FableBR

Guys! I have a student, who graduated a while ago, that I‘m still in touch with tell me her cousin was going to swing by with a gift for me. She thought of me when she was traveling and told me I was one of her most influential teachers. She knows I love to read so she got me this beautiful book mark. 🥹💛

Here is my four suggestions for #CampLitsy24 I‘m hoping the tagged isn‘t too morbid since this is a camping scene. I have just been wanting to read more about Inchworm after I read an article about her being found. Plus, I just noticed we should select 2024 books? It would be disqualified. 😅

I found a free library near my house. Sadly sun damaged for the majority of them, but Arizona problems. The picture on the app is not what I expected. Mostly romance for me and quite a few kids books. At least my kiddos found something. 🤷‍♀️

4✨ What a cute story. A story Tolkien wrote for his son who lost his little toy dog. The story follows Rover on an adventure when he is lost by his little boy. It‘s so cute and something similar happened to me as a kid. #FellowshipofTolkien @Daisey @JazzFeathers

1✨ I read about 45% of this and it was just too much. It is written well, but there is so much going on I can‘t wrap my head around it right now. I‘ll try this again sometime, but the names of elves, locations, and changes in storyline are too much for me to get into right now. Sorry guys I tried. #FellowshipofTolkien @JazzFeathers @Daisey

Finally, I‘m getting around to this one. 😅 #FellowshipofTolkien @Daisey @JazzFeathers

1✨ I couldn‘t continue with this one. We have teens that only talk about drugs, drinking and sex. There is more depth to these characters, but it was rarely seen. I was holding out for the love story, but then it ended up to just be cheating. I know YA is turning into more adult than young, but this is a little much. I went 73% before bailing. Originally read for #FoodandLit South Korea 🇰🇷

5✨ The plot was well thought out and there was a real element of danger. We do lose people both good and bad. The dragon element was perfect, and I love the young dragon. We don‘t really know who to trust, and that ending was a huge shock! The hype was true for me. There was a warning for sexual content in the audio, which I appreciated, but really besides three scenes it was not too overwhelming for someone who doesn‘t want to read it.

2✨ This was definitely not my favorite. It was very repetitive and dull. The only blood pumping moment was the last maybe 3 chapters. This plot was believable, but pretty extreme for the situation. Plus recovery was really very fast. #SeriesLove

5✨This volume ripped my heart out, stomped on it, and threw it in a blender. Just when there is a little hope it rips it away. It pulled on all my heart strings in all the best ways, and that ending has me wanting to continue reading. So thankful for all the insight of #ReadingWesteros and can‘t wait to see your thoughts in the last couple of chapters. 🤩

He‘s comfy so we are just going to finish the last seven chapters. 🤪 #CatsofLitsy #ReadingWesteros #GameofThronesBR 😸

I‘m heart hurts already. 😭

3✨This was really well written, and thought out. I received this book in a book box as a surprise, so not one I would have picked for myself. Giving it a chance I like that it had to do with women‘s rights and not all guys were the bad guys… well not all the time. It has a heavy focus on woman, abortion, and men who possess or use women. It is set in an alternate reality where time travel is possible and these jumps are to learn or to improve.

5✨ Yes, I waited a really long time to start this. It was really worth the wait! I loved the relationship these two had. Simon had a lot of baggage and Daphne is innocent, but can really hold her own. As they learn more about each other their love for each other grows. I also love the extra epilogue in this TV tie in and will need to get the rest this way too. 🥰💛 #SeriesLove

4✨ This book was about those that either had someone pass on who came back to comfort them, or those who passed the veil for a brief time. Those that came back provide encouragement that there is something else after this life. As a person of faith this brings me comfort that this life isn‘t the end. That those we love and miss who have left us are still out there waiting for our time. I wish this was actually written in the POV of the witnesses.

Part of me feels bad for this month‘s bracket, but I just could not get into this one for March.

March I‘m going to put Gone too Far, but all my March reads did not compare to the tagged. 🥰💛

March was not a 5 star reads type of month, but still a great reading month. 🥰💛

I was so busy yesterday I didn‘t get to wish everyone a Happy Easter, and if you don‘t celebrate I hope it was a lovely Sunday. We had fun making Dinosaur eggs and going to church for Baby E‘s blessing/Dedication. 💛🥰

3✨ Since I didn‘t really like the second book, I wasn‘t sure I was going to continue the series. This story though was really interesting. Serafina finds herself in a difficult situation and the only one that can help is her enemy! It made for an interesting storyline. Book 3 in #SeriesLove

3✨ This was chosen by one of my book club members, so not something I would have picked up. While I like fairy stories, mystical bargaining is not my cup of tea. I do like how it was written, while I mixed up the two sisters as the POVs a few times I enjoyed the characters (except one- if you read it you know). It was on the predictable side so I had a sense of dread the majority of the story. I feel it stood out at the end, I‘m glad I continued.

3✨ First I liked that this was set in Arizona. There was danger like the others especially the rock slide. Yikes! We finally have Bess and George which I was excited the most about. The mystery itself didn‘t grab much of my attention, but still a fun read. #NancyDrewBR

3✨This had a Godfather feel to it. Cosi stumbles acrossed another murder. This time it‘s Santa Claus! We learn a lot about his character, and uncover more as the story plays out. I‘m still not a fan of her relationship, but he gets more back story in this one. Joy makes only a brief appearance, and newlywed ex is already past the honeymoon stage. Pretty good mystery. Book 8 in the #SeriesLove

Spring break and Spring cleaning are going well. These puppies are growing too fast. 😭 I will definitely be cuddling up to them each night.

I‘m finally out of all my time consuming extracurriculars! Luckily, I‘ve still been able to read a lot. For this #marvellousmarch readathon I would like to finish my #NancyDrewBR (a few more chapters) my #HTBC the tagged. I would also like to read my #FoodandLit for March. Plus 4 books I had in February. Since I will be on Spring break on Friday. I‘m really optimistic. 🥰💛

4✨ High School Photographer Piper comes across a journal from someone that documented the faults of others. Somewhat of an elitist herself she starts to see a need for justice for a girl wronged who committed suicide right after. She gets her chance when a mysterious texter is looking for justice too. For me this was edge of my seat, cliffhangers on every chapter. Piper does have faults, and she seems to change in the middle of the book. ⬇️

Anyone else get kicked out of hoopla suddenly and can‘t get back in? The two books I was reading are there. 😭💔

4✨I remember watching a classic movie of this book a long time ago. I just could not remember the ending. A young boy and his father respect the land and the land owner that allows them to live there. One day Danny finds himself drawn to a beautiful dog. He trains him and cares for him as they navigate through the dangers that surround them. Specifically, from Old Majesty a tough bear in the area. I found out this is a series too.

3✨This is the third secret project from Sanderson. Two very different individuals from different worlds need to work together to protect their two worlds. They basically share a physical body while the other is tethered to them. It‘s a very interesting story and naturally the world building was amazing, but I still get lost in the creative mastery that he always provides his reader. #SeriesLove @TheSpineView @Andrew65

4✨Another on my TBR for way too long. About a girl who dies for 13 minutes and loses her memory. There is some twisty high school drama that keeps you wondering what really is going on. There is drugs and sex with teens I‘m not comfortable with. Overall, a solid story with a great ending that blew my mind.

4✨This was one of those books that you pick just for the cover without reading what it‘s about. If I would have found out what it was about I would not have given it a chance. Whales are one of my biggest fears. They TERRIFY me! 😱 I honestly was hoping for a mermaid story. 😅 Either way this was a great story! It has summer love, loss, finding a way to move forward, friendship, and a bit of finding yourself. My only complaint is it‘s predictable.

2✨ I just could not get into this one. There was a painting that was stolen. It was made by a magical source and there is magic in this world, but it is special so not everyone has magic. One of our mains is in trouble with strong forces after losing her job from our other main. It‘s a good plot line and I should have liked this, but I just didn‘t get invested in these characters and story enough to continue the series.

Pretending I‘m grading during Macho Volleyball practice. My life should return after this event. 😅 #FableBR

4✨This book has been on my TBR forever! It is a retelling from the twelve dancing princesses. I‘m going to be honest I never heard of that German made fairy tale, but I‘ll be reading it soon. 12 princess sisters in this retelling are cursed to dance every night for the Stone King with his 12 sons. Naturally, their kingdom is under a spell where they can‘t help, and any prince that tries does! I love fairy tale retellings so this was awesome! 😍

When you have to be at practice for your clubs fundraiser twice a week, but you don‘t want to be too productive. #TheMidnightSociety

3✨ I‘ve been wanting to read this since I was young. I‘m glad I‘m finally jumping into this series. We have an alien race that is trying to save our planet from villainous rivals. When the good guy is hurt he helps some teens gain powers to save us and our freedom. #SeriesLove @TheSpineView @Andrew65 (Yes, I was on an Applegate kick)- @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm made me read it. 😉🤣

4✨ This is the last book in the trilogy and it is heartbreaking! Anything that could happen to an elephant happens to poor little Ruby. She finds a bit of herself in a celebration. Loved each book in this series. #SeriesLove @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

3✨ Nancy finds herself in another mystery with sinister characters. It seems as if there is someone that looks like her and getting her in trouble too. Who knew that Nancy could “skin dive”? I should have known she can do it all. Another great mystery. Catrat approved for cuddling. #NancyDrewBR @Librarybelle

Finally caught up on sewing F‘s patches on. 🥰💛

4✨ I‘m not sure how to feel about this book because of the racial back and forth that happens in it. It‘s unfortunate that it‘s a thing. That we judge other people‘s work and ideas because of the color of their skin. Stealing is wrong no matter how it gets twisted. This book gave a different dimension on theft, and the main character who we should hate or love has layers and it‘s hard to hate her or love her because she is getting injustice too.⬇️

My graph is missing The Story of Mankind. However, this is my February reading results! 😍🥰💛
