Please forgive me @TheAromaofBooks but can I get a #bookspin refresher?

I had no intention of getting any audiobook membership, but here I am with a new audiobook and a libro.fm account. Thanks @Amor4Libros and @jlhammar 😂
(In fairness I do have other audiobooks that I wanted that hoopla does not have.)
This is probably more of a post for January, but I wanted to share some photos of my reading journal. I moved to more physical ways of tracking my reading in 2023 and I think it has enhanced my reading life. I still log books on The StoryGraph for end of the year stats report, but my thoughts on a book go into the journal.

No, you aren‘t seeing double. I recovered my old account. Sorry for any inconvenience or annoyance. 😭
I am posting one book per day from my extensive collection. No description. No explanation. Some will be old. Some will be new. Don't judge me. I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

I guess I'm still in the mood for a macho PI story and I had this in my audible library...
pickI don't want to say too much about it since I read it for #LMPBC. It's a pick. A light read that shouldn't tax your brain. I'm on the fence about reading other books in the series.

pickAudiobook
Story ⭐⭐⭐
Narrator ⭐⭐1/2
It's a pick. I won't be seeking out any more Sam Prichard novels, but the two I listened to were entertaining enough. Audible really gave away waaay too much in the sinopsis and that's a shame since the big "twist" wasn't much of a surprise at all.

I want book recommendations for understanding issues from a conservative and libertarian perspective. For conservative I've read Charlie Sykes and that's about it. I've never read any libertarian lit. Please don't recommend any Fox news personalities. I really prefer political science and expert types. @Texreader, do you have any libertarian recommendations? I think you know that I have a limited understanding of the libertarian philosophy 🤣

I'm a huge proponent of self care, but when I was younger I really didn't practice it enough. I always encourage my younger teacher friends to take time for self care. People don't realize sometimes how much teachers give of themselves.
I am greatful for...
1. Audiobooks
2. The Happy Color app
3. Stress relieving teas
As if #StoryGraph wasn't awesome enough, now I can support it AND local bookstores when I purchase a book NOT THROUGH AMAZON. Maybe this option was always there but I only just noticed the "buy book" option.
Purchase inspired by @Megabooks ?

I really don't have any cat memes. Too lazy to search for some. So I'm just sharing a picture of one of my crazy girls who stands in her water bowl.
Today I am grateful for...
1. PA
2. NV
3. GA
4. AZ
Sorry. Had to do four.

Started my audiobook for #bookspin today. Trying to find it in the database was taking too long so I gave up (lazy.) Narrator isn't my favorite but an entertaining enough story.
Haven't been around much today. Weird headspace right now so just trying to audioclean, Duolingo and watch TV. Apparently I don't have the attention span for much else.
pickAudio read by author. An impulse listen after @Buechersuechtling posted about it and I'M FOREVER GREATFUL THAT I SAW THE POST. So yes, this book is about depression and anxiety but it's about so much more-humanity, society, values, hope, change. Just WOW. It has really gotten me through the last 3 days. I will be buying a physical copy as well.
The readathon formerly known as #CYOReadathon has been retired. I'm changing things up for the rest of the year (and possibly all of 2021.) Let's just read together. No hashtag. Tagging optional. BYOB can be book or booze. You decide. 😊 See you on Sunday! Happy Reading!

I can't tag everyone. I sure wish I could. If you're seeing this just know that you've made today a little better for at least one person who needed to feel connected to other humans today. I LOVE YOU ALL AND I LOVE LITSY.
#30DaysOfGratitude @jb72
So I feel a little awkward with this prompt because I don't feel like I truly interact much with other #littens and calling out a few makes me feel like I'm missing many others, but @Jas16 @rabbitprincess @Buechersuechtling @Nute @Blueberry @batsy are some names that make me smile when I see them in my notifications
3 things I'm greatful for
1. My German teacher
2. My Spanish teachers
3. A house that needs cleaning
OK. I'm cleaning and audiobooking. ¡Ya basta!! ¡Sácala sácala...!

Please note that anytime a prompt asks for favorites you're getting whatever pops into my head at that moment only the tagged book gets consistently chosen.
1. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
2. The Source
3. A Knight in Shining Armor
(damn, I forgot about My Antonia)
Today I am grateful for...
1. All the poll volunteers
2. The privilege of voting
3. Litsy and the Littens
Thanks for the tag @obviateit! #Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView
1. Probably hot tea, my favorite flannel granny gown and a heating pad to keep my toes toasty.
2. Tagged. Maybe I should have read it four years ago, but honestly I feel like we aren't out of the woods yet and I need as many sanity saving strategies as possible.
ETA- if you are reading this consider yourself tagged 😁

This is actually a little hard for me because I'm definitely more about self criticism...
1. I am a good listener.
2. I am a master of profanity and hell yes I'm proud it 🤣
3. I feed lots of stray cats.
Today I am grateful for...
1. Cooler temps.
2. The pest control guy who removed a large wasp nest from my window.
3. Chocolate.
I feel like the #bookspin goddess was watching out for me this month. I've been feeling overwhelmed by my TBR and reading commitments. The numbers that came up yielded a short audiobook and a middle grade book. @TheAromaofBooks
@Buechersuechtling posted about this one today and I've seen others posting about it as well. At some point I must have purchased it because I had it in my audible library. I decided to give it a listen because no matter the outcome of events over the next few weeks I will still be a resident of the modern world and I need help navigating it!

+32 measly points for #TeamSlaughter but I still had #scarathlon2020 fun 🎃
Many thanks to @Clwojick and @StayCurious for hosting and organizing!
Woot! Turns out I had TWO Kurlansky books on the shelves! I'm giving myself bonus points for finding the tagged book rather quickly.
