First deck read of the year. My happy place ❤️

My brain power is on low lately. I‘m hoping for sugary sweet books, can‘t wait to dig in to some enjoyable reading.

1. Yoga, running, breathing and of course reading❤️
2. Barre this morning, and new tennis shoes.

1. Knitting
2. I do read reviews, particularly if I‘m on the fence about reading a book, I check goodreads for friends‘ and others‘ thoughts.
3. My deck in summer, and in bed every night in bed.

1. It depends where I am going, if it‘s to tour maybe two but to the beach it could be 5 or more. Just in case…and always have that kindle ready!

2. I have taken physical books and more often than not I leave them behind somewhere for the next person. I once brought my friends rental from the Boston Public Library home and mailed it back to her. Lol.

1. I enjoy both club and Buddy, I have enjoyed Buddy reads virtually here and am still hoping to find a book club that sticks.
2.anything that someone in the group finds interesting is a good way to learn new things and read outside of the usual choices, which are honestly - diverse.
3. I am kind of distracted so I‘m listening to comic, Ali Wong and reading a simple beach read The Islanders.
@Kshakal thanks for the tag! @Eggs #Wonderouswednesday

1. Yes, love them
2. Stephen King has created some good ones, my favorite is recent read Billy Summers. He is so calculated and detached yet also likable. After all, he only kills people who deserve it. 😮
Thank you for the tag @JenReadsAlot even though I‘m a day late. #Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

Digging right into my #botm, after working with a deaf client, I‘m curious about the world from this perspective.

I enjoyed this one, several laugh out loud moments and his backstory was interesting.

My reading buddy.

1. I enjoyed how empathetic I could feel for the main character, I was on a journey with her.
2. Forgiveness and accountability, maybe not in that order.

Really enjoying this one so far.

Had so much fun today in Chicago today and four hours round trip on the train = a lot of audiobook! 🙌🏻

1. Wordle and words with friends with @JenReadsAlot and a cop friend
2. Spring is the best time to run on my favorite trail. I joined a running group to shake off the cobwebs, pray for me.
3. I think Count the Ways by Joyce Maynard is going to be the best start, but I also enjoyed Katie Couric‘s memoir.
@Eggs #wonderouswednesday Thank you for the tags @JenReadsAlot and @Kshakal

I didn‘t enjoy this book but I am finding it therapeutic to knit socks to match some book covers…

Woke up yesterday to the sad news that the world lost this legend. Music is life and the Foo is my heart.

1. Pachinko (the Apple TV series - releasing Friday!)
2. No, I think the story matters more than the title, but a wordy title can occasionally detract because I won‘t remember it lol.
#Two4Tuesday @Kshakal @JenReadsAlot @BethM @Eggs

1. Eat Pray Love at the moment in time I read it hit me different, I felt introspective about my own world. The Road scared the hell out of me, I think of it often lately with the larger world in a mess.
2. I try to wear green but otherwise not really.

#Two4Tuesday @Kshakal @JenReadsAlot @BethM (my tag team🤣)

1. Gene‘s Books on Sanibel Island in part because it means I‘m on vacation. And it‘s packed FULL!
2. Dwight Foster my hometown library, it‘s nostalgic and inviting! I feel welcomed by name there.❤️
3. I was walking my dog today when I noticed a man on the opposite side of the street, he was singing clear for all to hear. It was a precious moment.

@Eggs @Kshakal Thanks for the tag! @JenReadsAlot

Our WI Supper Club project continues. We left The Buckhorn in Milton very satisfied. Tried our first Pink Squirrel, it was fabulous.

My newly knit socks match my book.

1. I‘m looking forward to the tagged book after a friend recommended it.
2. “We have to agree to disagree” - it‘s been a rough political climate and pandemic differences, I‘m tired of saying this one:)

Wonderful coming of age story read by the perfect narrator. And maybe the best part…there is another book about these two sweet, complicated boys.

1. My best pen pal sent me the tagged book for Valentine‘s Day 🥰
2. Definitely friends to lovers!

1. I prefer making some homemade dessert for my family and everyone gathering to eat it ❤️ but my dad has given me a heart filled with chocolates since I was a toddler and I‘m 50 now, so that is what I enjoy getting because I‘m sentimental like that. Just from dad.
2. Something sugar sweet by Katherine Center or sappy by Nicholas Sparks.

Bringing out the big guns. Winter is the worst, winter during a pandemic is 😬

I totally am drawn in by covers, sometimes it the only reason I pick up a book🤷🏼‍♀️
I am reading The Sentence right now and no, it‘s geometric which is not my aesthetic at all. I like the cover to reflect the story.

Preordered! At last @JenReadsAlot !!

1. Liane Moriarty does a good job deepening her character‘s back stories.
2. As a teen, Go Ask Alice
3. Nonfiction and probably Chick lit

@Kshakal @JenReadsAlot @BethM #wonderouswednesday @Eggs

1. I used to read off of my phone but often if I need a book along I tuck my kindle in my purse or put my headphones in for audible.
2. My kindle, I most recently bought the Oasis in a “treat yo self” moment. I‘ve had a kindle since the beginning, no regrets! It was amazing to have the whisper sync - downloads anywhere, at that time it felt like magic.

Oh this man has a penchant for drama! It‘s his signature. I enjoyed this glimpse into his life. He truly is a survivor.

Working on my library books…

Somehow this seems like an appropriate book to finish after midnight on New Year‘s Day…it was creepy but also oddly captivating. It felt reminiscent of Lost, living among others, like a cult. I‘m curious about her other books, I really enjoy an element of magical realism. In reviews I read the books she writes are “atmospheric”, I would agree that her writing is nearly the definition of the word.

Social distancing 2021 continued… lol 🏃‍♂️ Running/ walking keeps me sane.

Social distancing in 2021…

Big decisions tomorrow, what will I wear to stay home for NYE?? What are you wearing to cheer from the couch?! 🎉 #holidaylaughs #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

Today‘s #festivephotochallenge prompt is winter gear up, this is my mom after our 3 mile walk, we were geared up indeed! The roads were icy today, boo to ❄️. #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

We are binge watching Arrested Development, some of the humor is tone deaf in 2021 but I enjoy the actors and foolishly over the top complicated shenanigans. We stumbled upon a holiday episode so #WinterGames2021

#holidaylaughs in a funny not funny way. #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleigher

Alarming but funny … #holidaylaughs #WinterGames2021 #teamGameSlayer and also tagged my favorite book this year. #TeamGameSleigher
Edited to add: my 21 year old daughter said she could have gone her “whole life without seeing this.” Oh well, you‘re welcome?😂

The prompt today in the #festivephotochallenge was comfy socks. I knit most of my winter socks myself and they are cozy, this is todays pair. I was too lazy to herd my socks together… :) #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleigher

Todays #festivephotochallenge is snowman, this is our first measurable snow, if I didn‘t hate the cold so much it is prime packing snow, a snowman could be out there ⛄️ but no.
#wintergames2021

1. I enjoyed Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty, it‘s also one of my few books not holiday related.

2. Hopefully a vacation for the family and personally improving my running.🤞🏻

The #festivephotochallenge is favorite gift, I was spoiled with good Bombas socks and slippers, and my oldest daughter gets me, long walks to the library would be heaven, I may need to plan ahead for retirement to live walking distance from the library and wear these socks. #WinterGames2021

#holidaylaughs #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

This weeks #wintergames2021 total is 2493, for a total of 8632 so far 🎄🎁

Finished last night so counts for last week. The last of the holiday reads for me this year, lots of word search words. Predictable and seemed loosely based on Beauty and the Beast. #holidayreads #WinterGames2021 #TeamGameSleighers

Todays #festivephotochallenge is family time, this is the Christmas Eve Jolabakoflod celebration. I overheard my youngest say it was the best gift to my sister, and her saying that is truly the best gift! 🎄🎁 #wintergames

A nice trail run before the family Christmas, good stress release. It helped me stay merry all day🎄#festivephotochallenge #WinterGames2021 #teamgamesleighers
