Funnily enough, Six of Crows is a daily deal! https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00UG9LC4I/ref=pe_170810_420847810_KDD
Is it weird that Six of Crows is one of my fave motivational books? Look, if Kaz can [spoiler redacted] and Inej can [spoiler redacted], and Wylan can—you get the idea.
Good week for #BFC: Got my runs and yoga in, amidst packing up my house. We move this Friday! Read You Asked for Perfect and Her Royal Highness.
Keep on moving, everyone! We‘re halfway there! #BookFitnessChallenge
Silent Book Club time!
#BFC update: Slogged (slow jog 😂) today, started the tagged book, went for a short walk, packed a bunch of books, and did some yoga. A good #BookFitnessChallenge day!
pickGosh, I love this novella! Alyssa Cole does great contemporary disability rep. (She even got a straw ban dig in, which is 🔪👌 considering how many ableds don‘t know how ableist it is.) Highly recommend for so many reasons: disabled Black wheelchair user heroine! Autistic Asian hero! Snark! Escape rooms! Nerdery!
Oh, the joys of playing Wizards Unite (and Pokemon Go before it) in a rural area.
In happier news, my #BFC week 2 update: I had a terrible, three day migraine this week, so I haven‘t run as much as I would‘ve liked, but that can‘t be helped. I did do yoga every day and read three books: Lovely War, How (Not) To Ask a Boy to Prom, and Can‘t Escape Love. Ready for week 3! #BookFitnessChallenge
#BFC week one update! I read a bunch of books at ALAAC19 (six in total, including the tagged book), walked a ton, did a bunch of yoga, and ran when I got home. Next week, I‘ll have a normal schedule, so I should get in plenty of runs and yoga practices! It‘ll also be the start of summer vacation slash freelance copy editing. All in all, a good first week of #BookFitnessChallenge!
Oh, look, the ARCs and other books I mailed back from #ALAAC19 arrived. #LibrariansofLitsy 🤣
(This post has nothing to do with the new HP AR game, but HAGRID WAS IN MY SHOWER).
My goals for round two of #BFC:
• Read three books per week
• Yoga every day*
• Run three days per week*
* I‘m at ALAAC through Tuesday next week, so my first week, I‘m giving myself a grace period because of all the walking I‘m doing.
Good luck, all! @wanderinglynn

pickFinished this on my drive home yesterday! I liked it, but there was a lot of ableism. Still, it‘s a lovely romance about family, mother-daughter relationships, anxiety, and female friendships. Big tw for rape (it doesn‘t occur on the page but one character describes what happened to another), panic attacks.
As for #BFC, this week + next are #ALAAC19 weeks, so I‘m taking a break from running. Still did my yoga! #BookFitnessChallenge
pickLoved this—perhaps because Cole kept reminding me of Cole from Dragon Age. It was a lovely and dark fantasy about family and fearing outsiders.
A full inventory hasn‘t been done at my school for years, as far as I can tell, so I‘ll be doing that, weeding, and shifting the nonfiction—somehow before next Wednesday. Cool cool cool cool cool. #LibrariansofLitsy
pickA busy week, but at least tomorrow‘s Friday! Got my running and yoga in, and finished the tagged book, which was pretty good. Just a little less than one week left of my first year as a school librarian. Having a workout routine will be good to keep me grounded during my month off. #BFC #BookFitnessChallenge
Silent Book Club time! I wasn‘t going to eat here, but then there was a Filipino food truck. 👀👀👀 In #BFC land, I‘m shifting books in the library, which means walking all over the place and carrying lots of books. I did a bit of yoga at work, but I‘ll do more when I get home, too. #BookFitnessChallenge
What a week! My first last day of school as a middle school librarian. I saw Florence + the Machine (on a school night!). We got our house ready to list. Today, I started week six of #ZR5K training. It was a good (but busy) week! #BFC #BookFitnessChallenge
Who‘s attending #ALAAC19? We should have a Litsy meetup!
My hold for this one finally came through, so I‘ll be spending the day sneaking in chapters in between packing up/decluttering/staging. Yesterday was spent with more apartment hunting, more 5K training, and a lovely 40-minute yoga for runners practice. #BFC #BookFitnessChallenge
pickLoves this! Elizabeth Acevedo kills the narration. (If you liked her reading The Poet X, you‘ll like this.) She, unsurprisingly, rocks the poetry portions. I could listen to her perform poetry all day. As for #BFC, doing great on yoga and reading, but I need to catch up on running; I spent last night cleaning out my car and saying goodbye to my wheels of 13 years and today I bought a new car! 💜 🚙 #BookFitnessChallenge
Yesterday, while I was running, Otis decided he needed to be as close to me as possible and wedged himself between the treadmill and the wall. When I was cooling off, he climbed on the treadmill with me. Poor doggo is nervous with all the packing. #BFC #BookFitnessChallenge
Pride by Ibi Zoboi is today‘s Audible daily deal! It‘s a steal for $2.95—and it‘s narrated by Elizabeth Acevedo, of The Poet X fame. https://www.audible.com/pd/Pride-Audiobook/B07DFN5VRB?serial=&source_code=AUDORE...
pickSorry for the radio silence, #BFC folks! My grandma died last weekend, and I haven‘t felt much like being on social media. But I did keep up with my yoga, running, and bookish goals.
Week two: Read two books (the audio to Spinning Silver is amazing, and this book is pretty much perfect. I love it). In week four of 5K training and did yoga every day. Hopefully, I‘ll be back to more regular posting in week 3 of #BookFitnessChallenge!
More packing (moving is stressful!)! Finished the tagged book, and about to do some yoga. 🧘♀️ #BFC #BookFitnessChallenge
Playing catchup! Finished the tagged book, packed, and did yoga yesterday. Good #BookFitnessChallenge day! #BFC
Time to do my last training run of week 3! Got to start the second week of #BookFitnessChallenge off strong. #BFC
Week one of #BFC in the books! I‘ve read two books and parts of three more. I did yoga every day and ran three days. So far, so good! #BookFitnessChallenge
Ran out of time to post yesterday, but I got my training run in + did yoga to cool down. Nearly done with Spinning Silver, too! #BFC #BookFitnessChallenge
Book mail! Finished I Wish You All the Best, and I‘m trying my hardest not to dive immediately into the tagged book. Also did some yoga, which felt amazing after a long day of work and EOG training. #BFC #BookFitnessChallenge
Listened to some more Spinning Silver while processing books this morning—including the tagged book, which has a pterodactyl under the dust jacket! Plus did some yoga before bed. Good #BFC day! #BookFitnessChallenge
Graduation day! My department doesn‘t hold a ceremony for December grads (which makes me salty), so I walked with the May grads today! #LibrariansofLitsy
Had a big day today! Even though I graduated in December, I walked in the grad ceremony today! When I got home, I did week 3, workout 1, of Zombies, Run! 5K training and did about 30 minutes of yoga. #BFC
Had a busy couple of days, so here‘s Saturday‘s #BFC checkin! Finished “The Life and Lies of Rukhsana Ali” and started the tagged book. Did some stretchy yoga after spending most of the day packing and getting the house ready to put on the market (with a lovely midday break to see some friends).
Day one of #BFC done! Read about a quarter of the audiobook of Spinning Silver on my commute and while processing books at work. Did week 2, workout 3, of ZR5K training (my second run of the week!). Now, settling in to read a few chapters of Sabina Khan‘s book before doing some yoga. #BookFitnessChallenge
pickThis book has the most beautiful artwork and celebrates Black kids‘ joy. It‘s just lovely.
The art in this picturebook is GORGEOUS.
Goals for the fitness challenge:
• Read 12 books in six weeks
• Yoga every damn day
• 5K training (aw, yeah, Zombies, Run!) three days per week.

So hype this comic is finally out in trade!
I haven‘t seen many people talking about this graphic anthology by and about Indigenous people. It‘s gorgeous, and the foreword has already kicked my ass.
What a fun swap! Thanks so much @j9brown for the books and treats! I‘ve never read anything by Jacqueline Carey somehow (I KNOW), and I‘ve been wanting to read Rivers Solomon for ages. I used to be. reporter, so I adore reporters notebooks! Also the theme was excellent because I love space!
Great swap, @Avanders ! 10/10 would swap again
#SFFS #SciFiFantasySwap
pickWelp, I just read this in one sitting. I didn‘t love Alex and Chase as much as Emma and Ash, but this was still an enjoyable read.
bailedI had to skip so much of this because of the rampant ableism I‘m calling it a DNF. The audiobook quality was terrible; it sounds like she recorded underwater. The content (save for the ableism) was heartbreaking and necessary. I might pick this up as an ebook and try again.
🗣 The Inheritance Trilogy is on ridiculous sale today for $2.99!
