#bookspinbingo for May @TheAromaofBooks 💕💕

This month I'm going to be focusing on my Victoriana and Gothic books (the ones I showed in recent YouTube vid) that I couldn't resist the covers of. Unfortunately, this abbreviates to #VAG 🤦🏼‍♀️🙈

Also on the list are book club books set in Italy (where I'm soon to visit, hopefully), my #roll100 picks, and a couple of Emily St. John Mandel's for #AuthorAMonth

So excited for #camplitsy24

I‘m a few days late, but I was an 80‘s child, so I can‘t pass up this one. It‘s hard because I love so many songs from that time.

1. Time After Time Cyndi Lauper
2. Uptown Girl Billy Joel
3. Live and Die OMD

Of course, give me a few hours to think about it and I‘ll come up with three different ones! Thanks for the tag, @Eggs

@TheAromaOfBooks

A tentative hi 👋

My apologies for going missing over the last several weeks. It's been very tough coming to terms with the loss of my aunt. It's her funeral on Monday, and I hope to be back to some semblance of my usual self after this.
I'll catch up with posts, and #NaturaLitsy buddy reads over the next week.

#AwesomeApril

Not sure how much reading time I‘ll have over the 9 days but at a minimum I hope to finish my 3 current reads and read this month‘s #NancyDrewBR.

It‘s not too late to join in this set your own goals readathon.

#5joysFriday
A day late, but better than never.
1. The weather here is glorious!
2. Hubby has been feeling well enough to play drums at church two weeks in a row.
3. Got results from hubby‘s MRI, which gave us some definitive answers and a treatment plan.
4. I made lots of progress on my diamond painting.
5. I get to sing one of my favorite songs tomorrow (Desafinado)

Homemade Arepas filled with Carne Mechada, black beans, and cheese for #FoodAndLit #Venezuela

These were delicious! But we did make the arepas a bit too thin, so they were very hard to cut to fill. We will likely make these again though and keep in mind that they need to be slightly thicker!

I‘m joining @Andrew65 for the #AwesomeApril Readathon.
I‘m going to finish up two current reads in April and then on to May and some books I‘m really looking forward to reading.

Redecorated my Kindle case 🌸

Didn‘t see this in the database, but it‘s available for free on Audible with my membership, so I thought why not give it a listen. Indeed, some of the best known poems are included, but there were also some I hadn‘t heard/read before. I‘m not a huge poetry girl but this was enjoyable!
#pop24 - a collection of at least 24 poems

my goals are to finish Tom Lake audio loving it Meryl Streep is the narrator, 35% , finishing Avalon Tower by C N Crawford &Alex Rivers really enjoying this also about 50% left , then starting The Familiar so excited for that one

Thank you 🙇 @Read4life for tagging me and @DebinHawaii for creating #5JoysFriday.So here are 5️⃣ Joys:

1️⃣ Reading #ExesandOs by #AmyLea For #FoxRiverValley #AsianHeritageReadingChallenge and looking 👀 forward to getting #Damsel by #EvelynSkye.
2️⃣ Dinner w/ my friend.
3️⃣ Crochet Club Meet tonight.
4️⃣ Dollar 💰 Store Gems 💎I found 🔍 for swap on NBS and for myself and my friend.
5️⃣ Every time there is sun 🌞, I soak it up like a sponge🧽

So this was something I came across the other day it‘s in Thailand and it‘s a bar library… I thought it was awesome 👏🏼

#BookspinBingo

Sticking with the same plan as April.

@TheAromaofBooks

Thanks for the tag, @Read4life!

I could have written down a few more things, it was an interesting week.

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii

1) Coffee
2j Great Thai food/dinner with a friend
3) While I don‘t agree with all their choices, I am thrilled I only have 1 to read before the winner is announced.
4) The trip down memory lane that #TuesdayTunes has started me on
5) A quiet house but the anticipation of seeing my husband back tomorrow.

Bonus: Really loving the time #5JoysFriday is giving me to reflect on my week.
