I tried really hard to do one of those fun face photos with my book... #epicfail

Finished another one....
Important for so many reasons.

Sick pupper, cone of shame & no work = day of non stop reading.

This book was so fun. Great little micro history.

Being from an economically depressed small town made me relate to this book so much. I'm listening to what this guy has to say, a little more everyday....

I think I might have hyped myself up too much for this one. It was too dry for me. I found a lot of the details unnecessary for the story. Was hoping to get a little more info but unfortunately there wasn't anything new for me.

Sunday snow days are for cuddling with this black dog & catching up on that TBR.
Also, can someone please tell me why I waited so long to read Zadie Smith! I'm am idiot for missing out on this!

When you get to New Orleans and the first thing you do is hit the bookstore...

Ready to settle into my reading nook with this new pick up...

My husband looking at the library book haul and says to himself, "huh, I wonder if my wife's in cardiology?"
He's got jokes....

One down, two to go. Won't stop until the other two are finished.

Read my first Hannah Pittard book last week and now I'm unstoppable. Second one, with a stack just waiting!

I regret not doing audio but I don't regret reading this...

The calm before the bbq storm that is hosting my 30 family members...

Anyone else nerding out over here?

Not always the most perfect view, but curled up on my porch with a blanket and a book and of course my dog, seems like perfection to me.

I don't have Mount TBR, I have TBR hills around my house...

Me right now, trying to read this book after a late night & a long day of work. How do people stay awake all night to read, I'll never be able to do it.

I know everyone says their library is the best, but I think mine is REALLY the best. Since the hubs' cholesterol is out of control due to genetics, we are opting for a plant based diet to try to lower those levels. Looking overwhelmed at my options, librarian Jeff came to the rescue without hesitation and got me started on these amazing cookbooks. They are perfect AND hilarious!

Starting my second black history month read, but of course, curling.....

Home yesterday sick, went to work today... got sent home. Am I the only one who gets too sick to read? It just requires so much energy 🤒😷

My handle has been around a long time. I graduated undergrad with a degree in biochem, so I could go to medical school, however, at the last minute I decided it wasn't for me and I dropped out. Whenever I use this handle, I get, "so I take it you are a scientist? Haha". But I'm just Susan, an exercise physiologist working in non-invasive cardiology. I do a lot of stress testing & EKG interpretation. But yeah, I do still love science. #litsyhandle

Starting black history month off with this beauty....
#weekendreading #bookstack

Gearing up for the permanent placement of the Memphis Belle in Dayton at the air force museum in May. This re-read was great & I'm so excited to visit the museum.

We've got a first timer here! So excited for my first box.

Getting my library on....

I have been sitting on this book for months, just waiting to ring in the new year with what I know will be an amazing read. So excited!

It took me 18 months to find full time work since moving back to Ohio from Chicago, but I wouldn't say I didnt take advantage of my time. 📚🔖

I didn't know what to think about this series. I was enjoying it, but was still on the fence. Then the last book just blew my face off & made all the previous books worth it. LOVED IT!

I tried, oh how I tried....

Tis the season.... doesn't everyone read by tree light?

@britt_brooke Look what I'm reading, have you read it? My husband found it on the shelf at the library & brought it home for me. The person before made notes in the margins, almost seems like fact checking. Underlining passages and timeline math. If I see anything interesting, I'll take picks of the notes. I just wonder who did it! So interesting!

The only draw back to this book...I personally don't like short story collections. However, the few that I read were great & I would recommend this book to anyone.

#bookhaul Sometimes the library is my retail therapy...

I'm such a sucker for celebrity read memoirs. This had been on the shelf for a while & I'm so pumped to do audio.

I really wanted to get more information about this event, but this book was lacking. The wiki page held my attention more & got exactly what I needed without all the extra info that seemed irrelevant. Life is too short for bad books.....
#bail

Why can't I stop laughing at this sentence?! I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy this book.... a lot!

My pup is not a big cuddler & we don't allow her on the furniture, but she takes her moments & I take full advantage, even if it means I can't actually reach my book. Good thing I have #emergencybooks on my phone within reach.
#msindependent

Not the most appropriate bed time reading, but hey, it's Halloween, right?

This book was so interesting. I always go to the suggestion section in our library & every single book has been a hit. My town seems to know what's up....

When you just can't sit close enough to the fire....
#fall #cracklepop

Thought I would try to audio book it this week. I don't get many of these done. So far, it's holding my interest.

When you are reading on the porch and you realize, I have wood for winter and flowers still alive from summer at the same time in September....
#youmustbeinohio

Watched the husband surf today while I read The Sinner. Maybe not the best beach read due to that whole beach scene, haha. Waiting on hurricane Maria to ruin our vacation 😣

I don't know how Junot Diaz does, but sucked in by the first paragraph every time!

When you are hiding on the porch, hoping your husband doesn't realize it's your turn to cook dinner.

#IT.... 's finally happening

Got a great book haul from the #halfpricedbooks sale today. Loved this Jane Eyre cover and decided to finally dig into Lonesome Dove. I'm having a great weekend. Now to commence porch reading.

My favorite work buddy. We read together at lunch. It's an awesome silence.
