1. I used to put up 3 pine trees. This year I decided to ditch the pine and put up birch trees. Love them.

2. My favorite decorations are Black Snowmen. I have 11 so far. Nutcrackers are my favorite too. I finally found African American ones this year.

3. Jackson 5 Santa Clause is coming to town.

Rarely do I read a book and dislike all the characters. 😩This book was one of those times. It was an ok read and my first by this author. I am not sure if I‘ll read any others by her.💁🏽‍♀️

Meh
It was a bit drawn out.

It wasn‘t my favorite by her, but a good read

1. I typically use my books as decor. I also like to use things in ways that they were not intended. I have a love of vintage stuff so I used this vintage high chair as a display shelf for books, jewelry and shoes (not seen in pic).
2. I organize my books by color since they are used as decor.

Thank you @TheQuietQuill I loved everything! I‘m going to plant the gladiolus immediately. I needed gardening gloves. I had resorted to using my winter mittens. LOL Honey & Spice will be bumped up on my TBR List! Oh! I love the pumpkin travel mug. I‘m going to try the coffee this morning too.

1. Martha‘s Vineyard because of the book Summer in the Bluffs by Sunny Hostin.
2. I would recommend Commonwealth by Ann Patchett. That was the last book I read.
3. I‘m going to start The Collected Regrets of Clover by Mikki Brammer.

This was a good and interesting story. I liked it even better when I found out it was loosely based on the author‘s life.😯 the dynamics and intertwining of the families was full of drama. Not gonna lie, it started off a little slow and there are a lot of characters to keep up with.

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs
1. Yes, several. I tagged my favorite.
2. Yes, several times.😂😂
3. None.🤦🏾‍♀️

I loved EVERYTHING about this book. He descriptive writing pulls me in every time.

Package should arrive Friday.

Poetically written. I enjoyed how this book was set up and the writing style.

Pretty good YA written in verse. The storyline was good. It was realistic and not full of fluff or happy endings.

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs
1. Tagged book
2. The Alchemist b Paulo Coehlo
3. Beverly Jenkins

I couldn‘t get into it.

This had me locked in from the beginning. I hated that the main character was dealing with so much and betrayed by those closest to her.

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs
1. 1933 Miseducation of a Negro.
2. 2
3. None. I‘m not a fan of series.

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView
1. Finding Me by Viola Davis
2. Grown by Tiffany Jackson. It gives R. Kelly‘s mews storyline. I didn‘t watch his documentary and I was done with this book when the main character started trying to solve a crime. Meh
@TheSpineView thanks for the tag.

I couldn‘t get enough of her story. I‘m not a fan of memoirs because they seem to have the same storyline. Grew up poor blah blah blah. Viola said she wasn‘t poor she was “Po”. That hit different. She was right she grew up poorer than poor, po.

Yep! Although different from his typical, it was still good. I enjoyed it.

I would want an oceanic vibe. Blue walls and yellow bookshelves. I would arrange them by genre and name each based off something that correlates with the ocean. Action-Shark bite, romance-Kissing fish etc. It would be in my hometown which isn‘t near a beach at all. I would name it The J Spot. Boozy slushies is what I would sell.

Such a great story. I enjoyed it so much because it brought back memories of my uncle and aunt whi were hard to deal with. LOL

1. Yes
2. Retire wealthy and healthy soon. My son to be mentally and emotionally healthy. Marry the man I have prayed for.💙

1. Rural Arkansas
2. Ghana
3. Space, Star Trek Enterprise specifically.

I wanted to love this, but it was just ok.

Slow start, but once the climax hit I couldn‘t put it down. Sooo good.

Great for young women. I also liked the set up because it doesn‘t need to be read in order and you can easily jump to the area of self care you need in that moment. Well written.

The storyline ended up being good, but it was long and monotonous. I almost stopped reading it.

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs
1. Abbot Elementary
2. My cousin‘s pool.
3. Scrabble-Words with friends

Short, sweet and to the point! I have 4 years left before I retire. This is one of the best books I‘ve read as a resource for educators. I can totally implement it right now. I pray others embrace this transformation as we go forward.

Boring. Stereotypical characters and predictable storylines. I‘m so dis.

Yooooooooo, this book had me using profanity. I was wide eyed on some parts and just shocked at times. Great story although it was sad.

Lupus was the main topic. My mother died from complications of Lupus. My mother‘s Lupus affected, her lungs collapsed. My sis her Lupus, it affect her joints.

Mama washed the last dish she ever intended to wash.

This audible original isn‘t listed so I chose Common‘s bio.
This audible was great. Especially, if you like his music.

Brandy is one of my favorite singers. I enjoyed this hour long story.

This was a good rom-com. Longer than it needed to be, but good.
