1. I'm a big mood reader so whatever I am drawn to at the time.
2. No. I don't take a bus/train, but I also get sick if Intrybto read in a moving vehicle.
3. Lots of people around, the dog 🐾
4. Don't really have a certain drink/snack for reading.
5. I'll have to come back to this as I don't know new followers off the top of my head!
@Eggs #wonderouswednesday

Read this trilogy as ebooks, mostly during my work lunch breaks. While there was a lot of teen angst that drove me a bit crazy, I really enjoyed the overall story, the good vs. evil. One girl who has a demon father and an angel mother, fighting within herslef and also against the evil of the world, finding friends and allies along the way. I really enjoyed the development of her friends along the way.

I was really in the mood for a fun, light summer read. I heard good things about this one and found it at the grocery this weekend so picked it up and started it Saturday. I dove right in and it is just what I wanted!

And this quote really stuck with me: "Life can be hard. It's important not to let that overshadow what's good."

Wow, it's only May and we are in the 90s with HIGH humidity. It's miserable out! In other news, I finished this one last night. It was a good book set in space. Nothing overly spectacular but I enjoyed it. Had some similar feels to Hunger Games, but in outer space. I do want to read the next one to find out what happens next on Eden.

These 3 books came in the mail today for my #summersantagoespostal swap! Just have a few more things and this box will go out next week. (Also, my dad found thos sweet musical Winnie the Pooh sniw globe that was my grandmother's and I love it!)

Evening snack (maybe overindulged a bit) and the end of this book. Really wish I was able to read more than I have lately. I could use the distraction from life and the world.

Finally getting a chance to relax with my current read. This book doesn't blow me away but it's a quick and easy read. Also updating my book planner, which I use to track my reads. Wish tomorrow wasn't Monday.

@nelehelen #summersantagoespostal Sorry to say I am so indecisive and don't have a lot of "favorites" ?‍♀️
1. Summer = watermelon
2. Necklaces/sunglasses
3. Right now it's probably Big Bang Theory ?
4. Don't have a fav movie
5. Teal/aqua
6. Iced chai
7. Spending my summers with my grandparents in the Poconos
8. @JoScho @AmyG @JenlovesJT47 (not sure who is in this so randomly tagging!)

So I had no idea what I wanted to read next. I decided to start this one again as it seems like a quick read. I haven't read many books set in space but the few I have read I enjoyed. I'm about a third of the way through and it seems like a fun story so far.

Realized I haven't posted my #LitsyLove and #jb mail in a bit. This is from the past couple weeks or so and I am finally all caught up except for these, which I am replying to now. Sorry for the shot of them on the bed, but I am also in the midst of doing laundry! Happy Saturday! Thank you @AmyG (I got 2 from you here I think) @aroc @Kerrioke @LaurensLibrary @phatsallylee @Lovesbooks87 @IndoorDame (2 from you as well!) @nelehelen @Morr_Books

I'm really late with this because work has been brutal. But I am excited for this #summersantagoespostal swap! I am shopping next weekend!
1. The beach
2. Watermelon
3. Umm... reading? I don't have a seasonal activity!
4. Again, nothing different than norm... water, iced chai.
5. Sunglasses
6. Inside once it gets too humid. The heat/humidity combo gives me migraines.

No idea what I want to start reading next so will reply to some #LitsyLove and #jb mail. I saw they are releasing Seasame Street stamps soon and they are so cute! There will be a full sheet of 16 different characters but couldn't fit the pick with them all here.

Finished this one last night. Overall, I really enjoyed this book from a debut author. I was a quick read and I really felt for the characters. What you see and think at the beginning may not be what's real. I couldn't pronounce a lot of names/places and one character I just gave a different name to in my head when I read 🤫. And I was a bit confused in parts that I didn't feel were explained well enough. But still really enjoyed this one.

1. With my two nieces on Easter. 💜💜
2. I've been reading Wicked Saints this week and enjoying it.
3. Relax!
4. Mid-80s
5. Have no idea!

It's been a long couple weeks. Been working overtime at work and am just tired. Haven't read as much as I would like to but am about 2/3rds through this book and enjoying it.

Almost halfway through this one. And although I can't pronounce a lot of the names and places in this book, I'm still finding the story good and entertaining.

Started this one yesterday because I was in the mood for something different and this high fantasy fit the bill once I started reading. It has a lot of Slavic folklore, according to the author. I love the cover, but also love this surprise under the cover.

This was such a quick read. And I really enjoyed it. I agree with some other reviews that there could have been more in depth information about what brought this all about, and the ending was a little rushed for me. But I would still recommend this book. But be warned that it can bring a lot of anger about how the female population is treated.

Saw this online and thought it was cute! It didn't give the artist name. This is a perfect cup!

Started this one yesterday and have read about 2/3rds of it already. A very quick read. It hooks you right away. Great book but definitely leaves you angry and astounded at what is happening.

This story is interwoven, where the two stories start out completely different. Then they seem to merge and then peel apart again, and you are reading and wondering what is the connection, is it even there, how are they linked. There is still a little bit of the unknown, but I think that may be there intentionally, to leave us thinking. I also find with the books I've read by this author that what you think at the beginning is no what is true.

Work actually closed early because of severe weather. Brought patients in early. Now home watching the news as there are tornadoes all over the area. Gonna try to hunker down and try to finish this book if this girl will let me.

Not sure what to read next! It's been such a crazy workweek. I'm ready for the weekend but have ine more day to go.

Last week's #LitsyLove and #jb that I am just now getting to post. Finishing up replies from all the birthday mail so replies for everyone will go out soon. Also waiting on more stamps to arrive... just ordered more!
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @UwannaPublishme @TheReadingMermaid @whatsthEStorey @BookwormAHN @Bookwormjillk

I can't wait for the new library in my hometown to open in the fall. It's going to be huge! I've driven by the construction site. The plans look amazing inside and out!

The three pups in my life for #nationalpetday 💜💛💜💛 #dogsoflitsy

This is the audio I have been listening to in the morning while getting ready for work. I have enjoyed this series. However, I am getting a nit annoyed with one character and will put that as a spoiler in the comments.

Thanks for the tag @JoScho amd @whatshesreadingnow 💛
1. Looked it up... Simi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind
2. Aries but have more characteristics of Pisces
3. Oh, I don't know. I may have to think about this one and come back. Not sure one has had an impact. Many of of them do by keeping me entertained and keeping my mind off real life at times.

#wonderouswednesday @Eggs

As a recently new fan of Megan Miranda, I thought I'd start this one next. Still reading I'll Be Gone In The Dark by Michelle McNamara but have to read that one in pieces.

Just finished this one on this stormy evening. It was an easy YA contemporary that wasn't a typical romance story. It dealt with hard issues, like teen homelessness and the worry of not living up to family expectations. And a lot of it took place in a library! This is the first book I have read by this author but I definitely want to read more.

1. Freshly laundered sheets.
2. Getting to know fellow Littens through snail mail.
3. Birthday balloons that are still flying high 2 weeks later.

@Eggs

This took me a lot longer than I care to admit! #20thingsaboutme #LitsyLove
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

1. Sleeping in on a Saturday.
2. Having a loving family.
3. Watching the 4-year-old niece learn something new (today it was jumping rope for the first time. She still has a ways to go but she had fun!)

@Eggs #grateful21

Missed yesterday so am posting day 5 and 6 now. Also, I am off on my days. I've started doing them based on the day of the month. Oh well...

1. Friday evenings where I can unwind and know I have the whole weekend ahead of me.
2. A good book in my hands.
3. A dog who loves when I come home and gives me "hugs".

@Eggs #grateful21

Had my niece's first birthday party this afternoon - Alice in Wonderland (which we made into Ella in One-derland). I made these themed mini cupcakes after an idea my sister found on Pinterest. Her smash cake had the queen of hearts card.

Home today due to my neck. So reading while laying in bed. I had not heard of this author or this book before but it sounded good at the store. It seems like a YA contemporary with a mystery/haunted theme. A quick and easy read so far. And it takes place in a library! A haunted library maybe?

I am starting this late because I haven't been on Litsy a lot this week. But it seems like a great idea!
@eggs
1. My niece turns 1 today and I have such a special bond with her.
2. I have caring management at my new job.
3. Beautiful weather today!

1. Living my best life and the various things that entails.
2. After babysitting, my first real job was retail at JCPENNEY.

4. Anything by Lisa Gerard, Allison Brennan.
5. I'm sure most have already gotten to this one yesterday. 🤦‍♀️
@Eggs #wonderouswednesday

Slept funny on my neck Sunday night and haven't been able to move it since. So wanted something easy to read so started this one.

Thank you for the book @OriginalCyn620 (I have heard great things about it!) And than you @Rissreads for the letter and awesome pin!

#LitsyLove

Cards from the past few days! Thank you @litenthusiast @IndoorDame @Sarah24 @nelehelen (and I love your wedding card and bookmark favor!)
#jb #LitsyLove

Finished this one this morning. I have heard people mention they either liked it or couldn't get into it. I though it was a good YA. It was a quick and easy read. I wouldn't say it was a deep read. But there was a twist at the end I didn't see coming. I enjoyed reading this one.

Just got home from work and it's so beautiful out, finally, that I am taking an #audiowalk

Some #jb and #LitsyLove going out tomorrow. Slowing making my way through my birthday replies! Y'all are the best!

I am blown away by the amazing Littens here. I have been spoiled with all the #jb and #LitsyLove cards this month, many are birthday cards. I am getting out replies each week. Maybe I'll be caught up this week! @phatsallylee @mvegabec @LibrarianJen @Carolyn11215 @Morr_Books @JoyBlue @OriginalCyn620 @Mynameisacolour @Crazeedi @Soubhiville

Thank you so much for the book and card, @LaraReads for my birthday! That was so sweet of you. I am excited for the book.
#LitsyLove

This ebbok took me so long to read because I usually read ebooks at work during lunch/break, and I don't get nearly as long at this new job. But this was another good story in the series.

Big thanks for those who sent me birthday wishes today. I turned the big 4-0. Had a fairly good day, though I worked. Now to settle in with a glass of wine and more of this book.

I've been trying to find a good self care routine lately.

1. Hopefully getting outside, walking.
2. Physically, my hair and eyes
3. I love my creativity
4. @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks for friendship and always being there during some difficult times (and some good good ones!) @JoScho for always being so thoughtful and sweet to everyone
