3. All my mysteries on on shelf
4. Saw Inside Out 2
5. Astronomy presentation at the community center

I used to watch this show every week, and my husband would tease me because I cried just about every episode. #angel #coverlove

1. It‘s a nickname for Susana which is my name in Spanish. One of my coworkers started calling me that several years ago, and it stuck.

2. Walking, driving, doing housework, playing with the cat.

3. I just finished the tagged audiobook last night, with hours to spare before Libby reclaimed it.

#wondrouswednesday

I found this feather during my walk yesterday. #darkblue #coverlove

What a beautiful #lightblue sky! #coverlove

1. I‘m not much of a betting person, but once a friend and I used the outcome of a World Series game to determine who would pay for dinner.
2. This series is a cross between Eight Men Out and Murder She Wrote. I made great progress at first, but as I‘ve continued the books are harder to find.
#two4tuesday

Today was a good day for a cozy mystery and a cup of tea during #hyggehourreadathon #justsaying

#sundayfunday

That‘s quite a #hat #coverlove

Another intense story involving Detective Elouise Norton as she navigates a thorny homicide case and her thorny personal life. #serieslove2024

#wheel #coverlove

When you collect everyone‘s suggestions for book club and come up one short, you suggest James.

I‘ve learned that it‘s not always a good idea to suggest a book I haven‘t read. 🥴

1. New phone.
2. Yummy cheese from the farmers market.
3. Finished the list for my in-person book club.
4. Cleared off some shows from the DVR while noise was coming from the TV in the other room.
5. Lunch with a friend.

1. Old Town Road
2. Africa
3. Fantasy
4. Midnight Train to Georgia

#TLT

1. My friend spoiled the tagged book for me, which is still better than never knowing the ending.

2. Favorite character

3. Trapped in a mystery

4. I‘ve read enough HF to know that the past is no picnic, but I‘d still rather be there than in science fiction.

5. My favorite series ended prematurely, so I‘d rather skip the first book.

#wondrouswednesday

I‘m waiting impatiently to get this back from Libby so I can finish it. #gray #coverlove

One of the five remaining books to be read as part of my #52mysteries challenge. #beige #coverlove

This book is quite #orange #coverlove

My #hyggehourreadathon was cut short when myspouse needed help with something on the computer, then we went to dinner.

I had finished another June issue of Real Simple and was reading a story from Alfred Hitchcock‘s Mystery Magazine. The latest ssue was included in the swag bag at Malice Domestic in April. Now I‘m reading further while watching the Copa final. I have to say, it‘s not very relaxing!

#monthlymagazineblitz

I‘m doing a few challenges, mostly of my own design.

My Goodreads goal is 80 books, which I set somewhat arbitrarily. To date I have read 44 books, which puts me slightly ahead of my goal.

#sundayfunday

This sounds like a cute story, maybe a little bittersweet? #lamp #coverlove

I added the tagged book to my TBR to sit with these six that were already there.

Such a brave and handsome #horse for today‘s #coverlove

Two of these are among my all-time favorites, and one is among my all-time NOT favorites.

I recognize many of the books on the list as “usual suspects” that I‘ve seen on similar lists, and I used to take that kind of list and swallow it whole. Now I‘m more intentional about what I add to my TBR list. All that is to say that 6 of these are there. I might add more after checking out some that are new to me.

Meanwhile, I have DNF‘d 5. 😎

1. Free crafting caddy
2. Trinkets from my sister for my birthday
3. New pastor
4. Farmers market fruity beverage samples
5. Online presentation by the National Gallery of Art

I saw this on Facebook and thought of @Bookwormjillk

If you‘re still here @ImperfectCJ I‘m so sorry about the weather.

I know @wanderinglynn and @Chrissyreadit and the other DMV Littens will also understand.

1. I‘ve seen almost every episode of CSI Miami at least five times, but somehow I keep watching it!
2. Chutes and Ladders
3. Tagged
#wondrouswednesday

I‘m still working my way through Emma in between other reading. I‘ll finish it eventually. #green #coverlove

1. This is the vacation I‘d like to take. Train from DC to LA, hang out a few days in Southern California, cruise to and through the Panama Canal, arrive Baltimore about a month after leaving.
2. As @TheSpineView said, I would definitely take my Kindle. I‘d probably spend a lot of time on the observation deck as well. #two4tuesday

I paused this when it got a little tedious. Someday I‘ll come back to it. Be that as it may, those are some impressive #boots he‘s wearing. #coverlove

I did my #hyggehourreadathon in two parts tonight. The first part was listening to an audiobook during my walk, and the second part was listening while chilling on the couch.

This was a “runner-up” in a recent mystery book club poll. I haven‘t read it, but it sounds interesting! #sundayfunday

Sepia tone is #brown right? #coverlove

Thank you for the birthday wishes!

This #yellow book is probably going to be my #readordonate choice for July. #coverlove

#pink #coverlove

1. Using this bookish tote as my summer bag until I can get my purse repaired
2. Saw an intrepid little bunny on a walk at the lake
3. An impromptu trip to Baltimore to see Max Scherzer with my sister and a couple friends
4. Tried a nopales (prickly pear cactus) taco
5. This week at the farmers market I bought some yellow squash and found an appropriately titled book in the LFL on the grounds

There are #leaves on the cover and leaves on the trees in the forest by the house where most of the action takes place, in this very quirky book. I hope my book club doesn‘t hate me for suggesting this. #coverlove

I‘ve seen 36 out of 80 movies on this list: https://bit.ly/3RT6uBJ

Here are three of my favorites, with quotes!

1. Hamilton
“I‘m the damn fool that shot him.”

2. Gettysburg
“General Lee, I have no division.”

3. Night at the Museum
“I‘m made of wax, Larry. What are you made of?”

#TLT

There are more #dots on the back. #coverlove

I almost forgot!
1. I like the name Stephanie.
2. I‘m terrible at spelling remembering characters‘ names so I chose an author name instead.
#two4tuesday

I didn‘t especially like the book but it does have a #black cover. #coverlove

If I ever finish Emma I‘ll read this #red book. #coverlove
