My August Bingo Board. 🥰💛

My #Roll100 books for August! Excited about the tagged book. 🥰😍💛

3✨ This was the last book I was able to read in July. I wasn‘t a fan at the beginning, and just couldn‘t focus on the different POVs with who was who. I enjoyed many of the animal scenes, and by the end I was understanding what was happening. I appreciated the discussions from #Camplitsy25 which helped me to figure out the roles of the different characters and finish this book. Honestly, since I started work that was more my issue than the book.

This author is just amazingly hilarious. I got this email via a Goodreads review, and I‘m excited about this new book because he promised Brownies if we ever met. 🤣

I should finish the tagged book this month and then hopefully narrow down my growing que. it‘s caused because I keep reading new series and not reading my other books. 😅 #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Yay! That email made my day. 😍 Can‘t wait for the gingerbread book in September. 🥰💛

I can‘t believe July is coming to an end already. So many more books I wanted to read this month, but just didn‘t have the time. But as we close out this month, I want to introduce the new books for the #FableBookClub. If you like the thrills and chills, join us at the #RoaringWolfFrightNight. If fantasies more your speed, join us at #TheWyvernScrolls. Check out @Littlewolf1 ‘s post for the links! 🥰

We had open house just now and tomorrow is the students first day back. I might be more absent, but I‘m excited to make myself proud, and my students excited about my subject matter. 🥰💛 (Toilet paper is my tissues if you were curious) 🤣

4.5✨This was a really fun read. It had fantasy with magic, deep sea scuba diving for ship wreaks, crazy unexplained natural phenomena, and a couple of plot twists. There are 3 main POVs that help tell this story and it is mapped out really well. Since there is a time line change there is quite a bit of characters which I struggled with, but it was everything I hoped for. 🥰 #HTBookClub

Book haul from @Littlewolf1 unhaul. Thank you! 🥰💛

When you have book club tomorrow and you are behind. Gandalf has other ideas. 😅 #CatsofLitsy

3✨ It helps provide perspective to different walks in a trans persons life. As a cis person I don‘t know what this feels like, or the struggle. I like the strength that Abigail had in this book to be herself. I also like the support she found. While I struggle with the teacher/student dynamic in this book. I also know that it was more about how there are people who want to understand, and time and effort are how we can get there. #CampLitsy25

1.) F took her karate belt test and did really well! 🥋
2.) Went back to school and even though I already know I have challenging students I realized we made connections in summer school! 🥹
3.)S got her hair badly cut by F and still had a good attitude. 😬😱
4.) Tess and Monica learned to sit!!
5.) In my back to school picture I showed off my new Scooby Doo lanyard! 😍

3✨ I liked that they talked about taking care of the animals better in circus‘. Dolittle is constantly getting himself into jail because of his animals. There is only a few side stories this time so it follows one main plot. Not a bad read. #DolittleDiscussion @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Yes! 🙌 I found all the #WickedWords @AsYouWish

4✨ This was the cozy ghost story I‘ve been looking for! I‘m so excited that I got to read this books and start this series. Marlow at first doesn‘t know he is a ghost until Danielle, who can see spirits, lets him know. She inherited the house which was passed down from Marlow in a very unconventional way. They work together to solve the mystery of how he actually died, and what happened to the people that were closest to him. #FableBR

We do not care we are staying home, being very unproductive, and wearing pjs. It‘s our last day of summer break, and we have to report back to school tomorrow.

Prayers and good vibes though. I struggled significantly last year with behaviors of students and my own self worth. I love teaching, but it‘s taking a toll on my mental health. I‘m hoping for a love of teaching to spark in me again with a good group of kids. @dabbe #WDNCW

Yes! Finally caught up! 😍

5✨ I love Dog Man! In this one we have references from: Star Wars, Mr Roger‘s Neighborhood, scripture, Stan Lee, and Monty Python just to name a few. Big Jim is such a bright character, and it looks like this starts a new series! 🤩

3✨ A new take on a vampire story was a fun read. Our female lead is smart and is trying to find a cure before her brother who was infected becomes a full vampire. She meets Blade who will be able to help her with more than just answers. While I didn‘t love it, I did like how different it was to continue the main series. #LittensLoveRomance I have to return to work Thursday so I wanted to make sure I‘m finishing up some July reads. 🥰

5✨ Now the kings champion she must do his biding, which is taking out his enemies. As we progress in this book we grow stronger relationships with her friends, learn more about the past, and find out there is a more pressing adventure that needs to be accomplished. By the end we find out a huge truth. I was confused for a long time, but to tie it all up into a nice story to continue is really exciting! #LittensLoveSJM I know I just couldn‘t stop!

3✨ I really liked the fantasy concept in this story. We have a woman that is strong and her finding a way of breaking a spell on a demon. This causes them to go on an adventure to free other demons controlled by the goddess. Getting spicy really quickly is not my favorite type of romance, and the plot was a great idea. I wish we would have gotten more of the story itself. #HTBookClub

Yay! I‘m getting closer to catching up on Serial Reader! 😍

3✨ Trigger Warnings for mental health and suicide for this one. A very smart young man suddenly becomes overwhelmed with self-harming thoughts and admits himself into the hospital. He learns much more about himself and how lucky he is. It was a good story about overcoming, and how you need to take care of you. The author went into a psychiatric hospital and has woven a story that the path to happiness is not always so clear. #Roll100

DNF- I was having trouble wanting to pick this up. I was excited to read about a dragon, and it does have the dragon, a wolf, a cat, a magician, and a strong woman with a past. Everything you could want, but there was mention of men‘s work, woman‘s work, and she is in hiding because maybe her husband who abused her? I went 100 pages in and it‘s just not grabbing my attention. As an inherited book it‘s time to let someone else enjoy it.

3✨ I had a lot of questions while reading this first book. There was a lot going on, and quite a few characters. There was also a lot of secrets to keep you guessing. I enjoyed the bond of that characters and the magical world that was created. #FableBR

I found so much in this last set I was super excited about. Prisoner of Azkaban was $15, but because I got so many it was FREE! Then the Dear America‘s are really hard to find. 😍

Second set of books I got in Tucson. 😍

This was my first book haul from Bookman‘s in Tucson a little closer. The illustrated Harry Potter books were only $25! 🤯

We don‘t care we look like a mess. It was raining the majority of the time we were leaving Tucson and we had 3 bags of books with one umbrella. ☔️ Top priority was not getting the books wet with three trips by ourselves to ensure that mission was accomplished! #WDNCW @dabbe

Yay! 🥳 Just one more #WickedWords this month. @AsYouWish

4✨ We find ourselves about a year later from the first book. The warm and cozy feelings in this entire series are amazing! I really like that it focuses on grief taking time. It also reflects on being there for someone when they are going through grief and just loving them. Along with encouraging someone that is on a new path with a major life change. Honestly, it‘s hard to sum up all that this short book had to offer. Highly recommend!

4✨This is the last book in the series, but it actually serves as a prequel. The entire time you know how it‘s going to end. Yet, when you get to the end it‘s like living it the first time. I‘m so glad that we got this book even though it hurts. It was a great way to end the main series and on to their kids series now.

3✨ Not as good as the other meant to be books in the series. It had a great slow developing relationship, and sweet moments for Ren who was very sheltered growing up. Her and Fritz go on an adventure that changes them in lots of good ways. #FairyTaleReadingChallenge @Charityann Baby E loves being covered in stuffed dragons when he sleeps. 🐉 🥰💛

Woot woot! Found another one! 🤩

Yes! 🙌🎉 I found another one! 😍💛

Check it out, I actually found one while I was catching up my Serial Reading of Les Mes! 😍

I don‘t want to head out to the patio with my kids asleep in the hotel room, but still enjoying the view from the window working on catching up Les Mes, TOG and the tagged book. 🥰

Finally!! Took forever on that library hold. 😍

3✨ I was really like the characters and much of the plot was new. The struggle I had was it was very similar to a King story I recently read able a woman desperate for a baby. There was a lot of predictable situations, but I was surprised and one of the villains at the end. Whoa! 🤯 #DogsofLitsy “Tess”

4✨ I believe this was a prequel to the first one. There is something deeper much depth in this book about community, family, and culture in a small village. Sign language and gender fluidity were also discussed which I don‘t see in a lot of books. I was able to finish this while I was at a birthday party for a friend of F. 🥰💛

Yes! Found it at the library finally! 😍

4✨ A lot is already given away in the synopsis at the back of the book. Our MC is in a situation where she wants her son more than she wants her identity. The unique events of the titanic give her a way to get out and go into hiding. It‘s not easy, and the horrors of that night haunt her just as much as the possibility of them finding her and taking away her son from her. This is a love story of a mother.

4✨ A family that is looking for religious freedom from a King that the parents already left their hometown for. We look at the preparation and more of the reason behind the dangerous journey before even starting on the Mayflower. Then the dangers and hardships they faced at sea. I liked the focus of their faith and more of a feel of what this might have been like from a child‘s POV. My issue with the book is it follows her brother John not her.

3✨ This is where curiosity, Science, and the desire to help a group of people can go wrong. We have two main POVs and it helps unfold the human lust for power, as well as the desire to fix mistakes. Our characters go through a very long Groundhog Day effect as they try to saves the world from those who have other plans in mind than helping mankind. The story was good, but like the characters I got lost in time.

My hubs and I just cleaned our backyard for water fun today while reading the tagged audio. I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable day. 💛

Stayed up way too late to finish this book nook. So cute though. 🥰

3✨ I feel like this one is more believable than others. No major risks, and good friends to get you out of trouble. I‘ll actually be able to discuss on time! 🤩 #NancyDrewBR @Librarybelle
Plus I can show off my coloring I did with my kiddos today. 🥰

4✨ It would have been a 5 if it wasn‘t for that cliff hanger. Grrr. I really like that this approached multiple POVs from different places and perspectives. Darrow has been the Golden hero all this time, and looking at the other side was interesting. I still like Darrow, but people make mistakes and choices that they have to live with. I‘m going to take a break from this series though because it is so heavy on my heart.

My son baby E was getting his diaper changed reading the tagged book. Oooo the irony when he litterly threw the book at me. Cardboard books can do some damage! I bled quite a bit and will be walking silly for a day or two. “Llama llama what a Tizzy!” 🤕😓😅
