Started this tonight for #doublespin and I think I will join the #pemberlittens who are also reading this now. I think I picked this one for my “classic” (doublespin) because @BarkingMadRun is leading the buddyread and she makes wonderful buddyread posts. 😊 I think I‘ve caught up- could you please add me to the list @BarkingMadRun ??
💫Not usually, but I remember dreaming about Lonesome Dove when I read it the first time.
💫It would have to be a Stephen King book. Probably Insomnia. I love that book!

1. Way too many! You just never know what you‘ll be in the mood for!
2. Yes, but I take my kindle too. I finally bought a kindle to remove distractions.
Thanks again @TheAromaofBooks for the tag❤️❤️
This month my definite favorite was the tagged book. What I found interesting is my top faves for the quarter were both nonfiction, which I seldom read. Maybe I should! Anyway the tagged book is going to be tough to beat.

@TheAromaofBooks Nothing like waiting till the last minute! Thanks for being you!
pickThis book is a series of essays on a variety of things, read by the author. I have always liked John Green‘s voice. There is something very earnest and kind and a bit cautious in his voice. Now that I‘ve listened to it, I need to have the book. Preferably signed. Definitely worth five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickI would have liked to know more about the characters in this book but still enjoyed this dual timeline about an apothecary who provides poison to her customers and the woman who discovers her secrets. Would definitely read another by this author. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was my pick this month for #AmazonFirstReads. Sometimes I don‘t see anything that looks interesting but this month they all looked good. Anybody else choose yet?
(Oh I also love the cover!)
Here‘s my April #bookspin and #doublespin. These are all books on my kindle that I HAD to have! Well, The Historian is a reread so maybe not that one!
pickLoved this thriller. Lots of interesting characters- I hope this becomes a series. Looking forward to more from this author!
#marvellousmarch. #readathon
Goals:
📖Read David Copperfield
📖Keep reading DC
📖Finish DC
It‘s come to my attention that I have very little self discipline. We shall see how I do.
#two4tuesday
📖 I‘m trying to read more classics! My favorite is The Count of Monte Cristo, because it has everything! My least favorite so far has probably been Moby Dick (it‘s starts out great, and you get sucked in and then they bore you to death for a very long while)
📖 There are lots I want to read. Right now David Copperfield is calling my name.
Thinking of our friend @sharread today. We will miss you on Litsy ❤️❤️

pickEnjoyed this book from Sharon‘s TBR. Picked this for the #sharreadsreadathon hosted by @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks and @CBee
Although the story hops around a lot, I found it easy to follow. Story revolves around a female pilot in the 1930‘s. I always enjoy Beatriz Williams books.
pickForgot to post this- I really enjoyed reading this for the first time with the #pemberlittens led by the wonderful @BarkingMadRun , whose daily posts kept me going! I really enjoyed it. Anyway, it was about time I read it and I really loved the experience.
🦋 Stephen King.
🦋 My bed surrounded by my dogs with a cup of tea and meditation music
🦋 Yes, and generally don‘t do as well as I‘d like but I love them anyway! Currently participating in the readathon for @sharread.

Consider yourself tagged!
I will be reading the tagged book tomorrow. It‘s from her wish list. Please feel free to join in! ❤️

Jill is keeping me company while I read. She is purring so loud that it‘s distracting ❤️😘😽🐱

pickI seem to spend winter reading books that take place in the cold. This series, which takes place in an isolated town in Northern Iceland begins with this mystery, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Looking forward to the next in the series. Photo is of the actual town, which I would now love to visit!
#wondrouswednesday
1. Moon of the Crusted Snow. My daughter gave it to me for Christmas and I loved it!
2. Untamed by Glennon Doyle
3. Tagged. I don‘t read many love stories anymore but recently read this one and it was a love story wrapped in a thriller. I wish she wrote more books like this one!
🌟My goals for the year are to get my sh*t together and read more books.
🌟I just started reading the tagged book. Good so far but it‘s early.
🌟Accomplish.
Thanks again for the tag @DarkMina !
#thoughtfulthursday
pickFinished the first book from my #tbrdeckofcards and it was interesting, although I think I may have had my expectations a bit high. Not sure I‘d consider it one of the best mysteries of all time, but it was definitely a very interesting look at Richard III.
Here is my January plan. Can‘t remember if there‘s a hashtag for the 52 week deck of cards thing.
#bookspin #doublespin #pemberlittens #tbrdeckofcards
@BarkingMadRun Could you add me to your list? I‘d love to read this with the #pemberlittens. Starting right now.
Happy New Year! Today I am grateful for you all as well as this wonderful place!
My birthday book haul! Almost finished with Moon of the Crusted Snow and can‘t wait to start the tagged book.
#Thisorthat Thanks! @DarkMina
📕Paperback For more efficient and comfortable reading while in bed
📕Fiction I do not need more reality
📕Author While I would delight in meeting Gus from Lonesome Dove, I can‘t imagine anything more fun than hanging out with Stephen King
📕No new books. (Go ThriftBooks)
📕Stand-alone. The older I get the shorter my attention span.
📕Fantasy
📕Enemies to lovers, I think.
📕Bookstore. They need to be mine.

This book was lovely. Maybe a bit slow in places but I loved the fairy tale story and I absolutely love the cold setting!
#WondrousWednesday
⛄️ Spending time with my kids. Cocoa, fireplace, Christmas books, food.
☃️Stephen King, Ummmmm. ….. Stephen King.
☃️ A dog of peaceful cocoa. ?!
Thanks again for the tag @DarkMina !
#WondrousWednesday
🤍 I have a collection of mostly children‘s Christmas books that I get out each year and keep in a big basket. I love sitting and rereading them all!
⛄️ This is a tough one! It would have to be the Mary Engelbreit version of The Night Before Christmas.
🤍 Today I am grateful for meditation, which constantly surprises me.
Also, that book in the photo reminds me of Snowy Day, which is wonderful!
@Eggs
I don‘t do very well at this but I love being part of it! Thank you Sarah for all of your hard work! ❤️❤️❤️
🍂 Tagged. I‘m trying so hard to love this book.
🍂 Potato Soup with cheese and bacon and more cheese.
🍂 Every year in the fall I go through a Stephen King phase and reread a couple of his.
#weekendreads
pickThis was an October First Reads from Amazon. This story centers around Annie, who is driving her daughter to the pediatrician when she‘s in an accident. Waking up at the hospital, when she asks about her daughter she is told she doesn‘t have a daughter. In fact, her whole life is different than what she remembers. This was a fascinating story that I read in one sitting. Hopefully this author will write more!
#thoughtfulthursday
🍁The chili weather made me smile this week! No furnace no air just open windows!
🍁 Long intros to classics that summarize the entire plot.
Hope everyone is having a great day! (I‘m late but that‘s ok)!
🍂Heidi, Harriet the Spy, Little House series.
🍂Cold and snowy or Rainy and cloudy. I love bad weather.
🍂Today I am grateful for Kraft macaroni and cheese, which seems to be part of every season of my life!
#WondrousWednesday
I read this today- it was one of the free #amazonfirstreads for October. Enjoyed it while I read it but found myself skimming a bit.
Also Happy National Black Cat day from Bookitty, who is mostly called Boobert for no particular reason. He showed up years ago on Halloween on our front porch and hasn‘t wanted to go back outside yet! He‘s pretty full of himself. #catsoflitsy
Jack and I are thoroughly enjoying this reread of Dreamcatcher for #Losersclub. Can‘t wait to discuss it!
#stephenking
1. I think I might love a cozy crime novel, but I‘d pick crime over cozy.
2. With a cozy you KNOW it will turn out well, and there‘s almost always good food! Crime novel- not so much!
Made my first visit to BN in quite a while. They have these gorgeous and inexpensive copies of classics. (Not that I don‘t already own Mansfield Park, but loved the cover).
Here I go again. Trying this again!!! My favorite reading month of the year!🎃🧡👻💀🕷🍂🍁. Thanks for all you do @TheAromaofBooks 🖤🧡🖤🧡
I bought this the other day on a kindle deal and so far I am loving it. But here‘s my question. Am I just old or are there a LOT of characters in this book. I keep having to do that thing where you search for the name to see if it‘s a new character or one I just forgot about. Still, think this will be a good series- just gonna have to start taking notes!
These are my books purchased in the last week. I am clearly all over the place. Not sure where to begin. Neither is Molly. Barkskins is calling to me, but it‘s also the looooongest. And thank goodness for ThriftBooks. The two on the right together cost about half of one of the books on the left.
#Bookmail
I usually buy SK books, but am trying to be thrifty (haha) so got the ebook on Axis360. Started it today and now I want to stop reading and go buy it. I need to own it. And touch it. And turn pages. You understand this, right? I am LOVING this one so far. It‘s just my favorite kind of King book.
#wondrouswednesday
1. No, thank goodness. When I do I usually stop reading the book, so I‘m glad that most of the time I‘m blissfully ignorant.
2. Little House books. Was my first series and I loved them!
3. I don‘t think so. Hmmm.
4. My home. I love being home and feeling the coziness. Drinking the tea and reading the books.
Have a great day!!!
