All these years and one of my favorite series is still going strong!

My apologies in advance for the time line flood I‘m hoping to accomplish today. Need to get these reviews done before the end of the month 🤦🏾♀️
I‘ve been really into using my spinner app to pick my reads for #BookspinBingo lately. It feels less chaotic than being ruled by library due dates.
Also I‘m really proud of how much I‘ve managed to read this month. May is usually a slump month for me.
I didn't think I was that hungry but if I'm subconsciously thinking bout chewing on markers.....
#AlphabeticalBingo check in. So far so good. I‘ve just been putting in whatever I‘m reading but I‘m sure that strategy will have to change soon.
#MagnificentMay wrap up: not too shabby for being out of town half of this week. Also May is notorious for being a terrible reading month for me. I didn‘t quite hit my goal but whateves.
SN: why do we have 5 different DNF stickers but only one for Read?
#Two4Tuesday
1. No summer plans. I will be going to #ReadersOnTheRiver in September.
2. I honestly don‘t read according to season. In fact I often find myself reading Christmas books in summer. 🤷🏾♀️
Thanks for the tag @Read4life
#MagnificeMay check-in post. So far I‘ve finished these two books (both in progress before the Readathon started) and picked up two more. I hope to get lots of pages in tomorrow/today(it‘s 3 am).
I hope everyone is reading lots.

Anyone else find it strange when a book character shares your name?
#SeriesLove2023
Home from vacation, time to catch up on some reviews.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Iliza. I always enjoy her content.
It‘s my birthday! Festivities officially started last night as we will be traveling today but the sun is shining as I catch the last views of the incredible smoky mountains and I‘m grateful for another trip around the sun.
On vacation so my #MagnificentMay participation will be minimal but I‘m still aiming for 1,000 pages.
Honorable Mention: The Other Side of the Grave
It‘s a shame when one character makes you want to quit a whole series.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
I filled this out wrong but I refuse to redo it. 🙃
#MonthlyRundown #MonthlyWrapUp #BookStats #AprilWrapUp
I had a hard time choosing a favorite this month. I had two 4.5 ⭐️ reads and chose this one because they are new to me characters. So Honorable Mention to The Other Half of the Grave I will always love Cat and Bones.

I went through all the work of keeping up with a tracker for #AwesomeApril and completely forgot to post it. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Ah well, here it is. Crushed my thousand page goal. 💪🏾
#BookspinBingo board locked and loaded. Two abstract choices for #Bookspin and #Doublespin this month. We‘ll see how it goes.
Happy reading!
It‘s my 7 year Litsyversary!!!! Thank you to everyone who has made this space special to me. The likes, the supportive comments, the laughs and the endless additions to my TBR. It‘s been such a fun ride. Here‘s to 7 more years. 🥰🥰
Hey y‘all. Not sure if you‘ve noticed (or care) but I‘ve changed my username. Bookjunkie57 is now @ShananigansReads
Junkie while accurate in describing my book addiction is an insensitive term and I was no longer comfortable with it. Shananigans has been a long time nickname so I‘m leaning into it.
So new name same lazy,inconsistent content. 🤦🏾♀️ Happy reading!
Finally a bingo! I swear it‘s been a year. I can only blame my own moody reading habits but I‘m happy to finally have one.
#BookspinBingo
When your library audiobook will be yanked away in less than 2 days but you listen to zero percent today. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Might read more of the stories one day when I have mental space for more new authors/series.
#SeriesLove223
I came to get my hair braided (easily a 3-4 hour process) and forgot my headphones on the charger at home. 😩😩😩 I had high hope for half an audiobook
I got a new sloth friend today. She needs a name. Any suggestions?
I‘m going to #ReadersOnTheRiver in September and I‘ve realized there are a lot of authors who‘s work I don‘t know will be there. Some I‘ve had on my TBR and some I‘ve never heard of but I suppose I should make the books I have a priority. September will be here before I know it.
Are you going to any reader events this year?
My next #Bookopoly spin lead me to Recommended By Your Library. I chose Aristotle and Dante because it is due back to the library soon and that‘s recommendation enough for me. 🤣
What a lackluster last day🤦🏾♀️, but I crushed my goal of 1,000 pages so I‘m not mad.
I finished two short stories and three audiobooks this #AwesomeApril
This may be the best Readathon I‘ve had in a while. I hope everyone else‘s reading went well too.
I‘ve been doing a bunch of updates today so gonna throw this #CurrentlyReading out here because even idk what I have going on. 🤣🤪
I might return one day to read some of the other stories.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Time for my next #Bookopoly pick. This has been on my TBR for years so it‘s nice to have an excuse to read it. I might not start it until tomorrow though.
Okay I went to GO, rolled again and got Part of a Series. This is perfect of course I can use this book for #Bookopoly It‘s also been on my #BookspinBingo board for a while. I can check off a #SeriesLove2023 prompt and I have it in ARC form so I can throw one in for #ARCApril
If I think hard enough I may be able to throw in another tag or two also. 😂
I finally made it around the board once and hit my first chance space! It sent me to go again (around the board twice? 🤣) and we will see what the next spin brings.
#Bookopoly
#AwesomeApril update: I‘m so proud of my “I feel like listening to my book” mood. It has allowed me to read 639 pages. Finish two books and one short story. If I can stay awake this evening I can‘t be well into another.
Finished:
Murder with Macaroni and Cheese
16th Seduction
Seven Minutes in Heaven (short story)
Time for another #Bookopoly roll. I can‘t believe I still haven‘t made it around the board once yet 🤦🏾♀️
Oh well, the Women‘s Murder Club skips the very long library hold line to complete this card.

#SeriesLove2023 #BookspinBingo
I found out something about the author that doesn‘t sit well with me and while I finished reading this installment I‘m not sure if I‘ll continue the series.
