I bought this version of Bleak House because I loved the cover Another Litten posted a pic of it and I thought that THIS COVER will make me read it! That was almost three years ago. Still stacked.

@TK421 I loved this box! Jelly Flops are my new favorite thing. I love the idea of giving a home to the not-quite-perfect jelly beans! Thanks for the tea as well, and @MaleficentBookDragon I LOVE the bookmark!

OMG you guys- I just spent five minutes trying to figure out who the fifth member of this group is!😳😳🙄🤯

This was my “breaking out of slump book”. Loved it. Enjoyed every minute. Naturally I forgot to keep track of my reading time. I‘ll get the hang of this someday. Molly says hey!❤️

1. See above. This was one of my kid‘s‘ favorite stories. Sammy has a friend over but has a hard time sharing his toys. He learns that toys are not fun. Sharing toys is fun. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
2. Physical strength.
3. Sagittarius
4. Read. Read. Eat. Read
5. Have a great weekend lovely Littens!
@BethM @Avanders @TK421 @MaleficentBookDragon

After saying I wasn‘t setting a goal I decided that I‘d put this out there to give myself a push. Hershey chocolate eggs and hot tea are waiting. ❤️❤️

1. No goals. Just reading.

2. Evvie Drake Starts Over. Light and fun. Would tag book but tag button is gone. 😳

3. Hershey‘s milk chocolate Easter eggs. I hoard them at Easter time. They are the same as the kisses, but the point in the kisses makes my tongue sore. Princess me.

4. Hot tea.

5. Heck yeah! Make it fun.

6. fellow Littens - play along!
#summersendreadathon

This one came in way sooner than I thought it would! Can‘t wait!!!

1. Pasta. Piles of it. In any form.

No details so the rest of my group can enjoy this, but I loved it! Soooo much better than the movie, but I did picture Huw as Stanley Tucci! (And I liked the movie!)
#LMPBC Group V Round 6

Just a note -This is a Kindle Daily Deal today! If you‘ve been thinking about trying this series today‘s the day. This is not my usual genre but was a #Litsyrecommends and I loved it!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!❤️❤️

Omg I LOVE Jelly Bellies!!! Thanks so much Nathan! Getting ready to start reading and eating right away. @BethM Beth I mailed you your package today. I am scum. I WILL do better next month. (Plus I forgot to insert your note!). Nathan- thanks again for the treats and the bookmark and book markers! Was fun opening it!
#lmpbc #groupv. #round6

Kindle daily deals for today. Love this book and always recommend it!!

Well I‘ve been gone for a few days. My son was in a car accident in Oklahoma and I‘ve been there getting him taken care of. I hate missing even a day of Litsy but am so glad to be home and look what was waiting for me! Thank you so much @WilliamMorrowBooks ! Will post a review as soon as I finish it. This was a very uplifting surprise to come home to! ❤️❤️❤️

1. Tagged. Difficult and deeply moving. I still miss the characters
2. Crunchy for sure!!!
3. Sunset. Definitely not a morning person!
4. I‘d buy my youngest daughter clothes for college and a very used car.
5. 4th. I had the most amazing teacher ever. We studied Julius Caesar, plus she introduces me to Harriet the Spy. I invited her to dinner at my house (saw it on tv) and she came!❤️

This one got me home on the long drive from southern Mississippi to Illinois. This is probably my favorite Baldacci series so far. This is the second, and was just as good as the first. Any Baldacci fans out there? What‘s your favorite series?

This was the audiobook that got me through 15 hours of driving today. I think it was the audio that made this book appealing. If I hadn‘t had a voice to go with the main character I think I wouldn‘t have found him sympathetic at all. Thought it was clever and fun, although the ending was a bit rushed. Definitely made my trip easier!
Oh, and as I have had trouble finishing books this summer, at least I can say I finished this one!

1. Solitude. Sashay. Melancholy
2. Melancholy. Muh-lanch-uh-lee.
3. Antidisestablishmentarianism
4. Asshat. Or Snickelfritz.
5. @Avanders (although you aren‘t a new follower.). I can never remember to look before I create the post!
#HelloThursday

Thanks @Avanders for the tag! I had a hard time picking six because I‘ve had several slumps this year These have been my favorites so far this year. Great idea @Cinfhen !
#top6reads

I listened to this while driving from southern Mississippi back to Illinois yesterday and it was just what I needed to pass the miles away. So far David Baldacci hasn‘t let me down, and I‘m going to have to check out more of this Amos Decker series.

This month Amazon Prime members get two picks. 😊😊These are mine. What did you pick??

Just got this in the mail today from ThriftBooks. This was recommended by some of my lovely Littens. Looking forward to scaring myself silly! (Max says hey!)
#dogsoflitsy

Starting a new and hopefully light read tonight with my pals. Hope you‘re all as cozy as I am.

This is a good example of what Litsy has done to me! This book arrived today from Book Depository. I ordered it because I checked. I know that I saw someone‘s post about and had to have it Right Now. But I certainly don‘t remember. Oy.
#LitsyRecommends

Hello. My name is on my phone. You killed my car and I didn‘t. Prepare to go get to the shower.

#hellothursday

I love predictive text!

Reading this and really enjoying it. Science fiction that is alternate history starting in 1952. I haven‘t read much alternate history and it‘s fascinating seeing people and events worked into a new version of the past. Also love the strong female character who is quite relatable because Guess What! She‘s not perfect! Looking forward to the second in this series who many say is even better!
Oh, and Izzy says good morning!!❤️

Okay, if no one has any objections I think I‘ll use this one for #LMPBC #GROUPV #round6. I couldn‘t decide between this and Ice Hunt but Subterranean has fewer pages so I chose it. Both are over 400 though, and I want you to know it‘s a mass market paperback so the marking up notes may have to be mostly post-its if there are any objections I‘m happy to keep looking.

#LMPBC. #GROUPV. #Round6
Okay, here are some that I already own. I‘ll start there- @MaleficentBookDragon already posted some or all of these but I‘ll wait until she selects hers. Or I can always find more! This is SUCH a fun category- I can‘t wait!!!!

1. The Monkees
2. Fall - colors, apples, pumpkins, great soups, cool temps, bonfires, chili, scary books. 🧡🧡🧡
3. Suspense thrillers
4. Hmmmmm... maybe peanut butter and jelly.
5. 👍
#Friyayintro

Well I FINALLY found a book I like for #CliFi #Booked2019 and I read the whole thing last night and this morning 😊😊😊😊. I had such a hard time finding a book and last night I found this on Litsy while doing a #clifi search. Definitely kept my attention and is a scary look at what could happen.

#FriyayIntro
1. One Hundred Years of Solitude. I‘ve reread it twice now, and it gets better each time.
2. Still in jammies. Teal leopard print. I LOVE pajamas!!
3. Definitely Game of Thrones. Don‘t know how I went this long without it!
4. Dobby the Elf comes to mind, but after GOT I rather love dragons.

1. My dad called me Snickelfritz and Pookytat when I was a child.
2. Tagged. Had fun with this. Googled weird titles and have been laughing the last ten minutes
3. No- I generally find them helpful.
4. VERY. I hate a lousy cover. Or when an author has a whole bunch of books with similar (lovely) covers and then throws in a weird one. Or movie tie- ins. Or those stock photos. Ick.

#wondrouswednesday

Misty! You made me so happy it brought tears to my eyes today. I have been an awful correspondent for #litsylove the last couple of months. With graduation and so many other end of the school year obligations I have just been feeling overwhelmed. Your package arrived today and it just made my heart happy. I have been wanting this book, but haven‘t bought it because the paperback cover is just hideous so it‘s just PERFECT! All my love❤️

I don‘t know what possesses me to read these books that I call “disease books”. They scare me to death. This is a terrifying account of a woman fighting for life against a tiny not-that-rare bacteria. It was fascinating and very detailed but I‘m glad it‘s over.

This is the longest I‘ve ever been away from Litsy. You may not have missed me but boy have I missed you all! It‘s been graduation time at my house and I haven‘t had time to even think about reading. It‘s been a good time though- now I‘m ready to get back at it. Time to catch up on some #Booked2019. Hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!! 💕💕💕💕

Jennifer!!! This is the sweetest surprise! I‘ve been wanting this book- isn‘t the cover gorgeous?! You are so kind to surprise me like this. I‘m sending you the biggest hug ever. Hope your day today was filled with as much joy as you sent me 💕💕💕

1. Tagged book. Just started but enjoying it so far

#weekendreads

Hi all- I‘m going to a conference with my daughter at the end of May in Albany New York. Is anyone familiar with Albany and could recommend bookstores or bookish places to explore while I‘m there?

#Booked2019
I read this for #Booked2019 #foodorbeverageoncover
It‘s a romance, which I don‘t read many of anymore but it was pure enjoyment. The author‘s depiction of Americans make us all sound like a bunch of idiotic buffoons but the story was lovely and I‘d happily read another by this author. (Of course there ARE Americans that are idiotic buffoons but hopefully we aren‘t all that way!)

Litsy is now on the web, so spread the news!

SLUMP. I am in a slump. I‘m currently reading Where The Crawdads Sing and a few others I am meandering through. I may wait on WTCS because I love it and I can‘t give it my full attention. This is all I read in April, the Achebe being the best. I also enjoyed The Golden Hour, but was not impressed with the Genova book. Hoping for a much more productive May!
#AprilReads

Starting this one tonight for IRL book group Tuesday. Hope it‘s as good as everyone says!

Oh, and by the way I HATE when they put those Reese‘s and Oprah‘s book club blurbs on the cover. Pet peeve.

Definitely not her best. While I imagine her portrayal of Huntington‘s Disease is deadly accurate, I found the rest of the book to be a bit tedious. Four adult kids (who all still live at home?!?!) trying to decide whether or not to find out if they carry the gene that will give them HD. I did learn a lot about this horrific disease, but overall was a bit disappointed.

Thinking of you, my friend!💙 😘

(At Cracker Barrel)

I‘m not sure how I missed this one all these years. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In the last several weeks I have received the most amazing amount of lovely mail from my #litsylove and #jb friends! I love reading every word, and have so enjoyed the stickers and postcards and bookmarks you‘ve included. I‘ve been working on mail for all of you - you will be hearing from me soon! Love you all!💖

#NanreathNovel #BuddyRead
Started this last night and read to our week one stopping point. So far I‘m enjoying it- considered reading ahead but so far trying not to!

Thank you so much @WilliamMorrowBooks for this ARC! I loved it- a definite ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Three time periods, with the largest portion taking place in the Bahamas during WWII. Loved the characters and found the story fascinating. I did find all the cigarette smoking distracting a bit, but that‘s my only complaint. Looking forward to her next book!
