Here‘s my #nofilternomakeupselfie for the #bfcr2! I‘m finally ready for #24in48 after having my eyes dilated at the doctor. Ugh! Sorry I‘m not caught up on Litsy!
This is the third time I‘ve read this book, and the first time I‘ve actually enjoyed it. 🤣🤣 Let me reframe. I love tiny books - both short and small. I love short stories that last fewer than 10 pages. The writing here is mostly mediocre with occasional bits of something better. 3.5⭐️ What‘s your favorite short story/little book?
5k steps today-better 👍🏻 Still depressed 😓 Lots of fruits and veggies, a little sugar 👍🏻 #bfc #bfcr2 #goteam
My dad and I were out running errands, and he mentioned T-Mobile Tuesday was free hats. We stopped by, and they still had some. So we took a #selfie!! 🤳Anyway, just for fun 👍🏻😗💜
So this is a passenger seat selfie with #Henry. 🤗🐩
This was taken this summer during one of my many trips back and forth to Durham for treatment at Duke. It‘s about a 10 hr road trip, so some snuggling is definitely in order!
Henry is turning 16 on 1/23/19. I picked him out from the shelter 13 years ago this Thanksgiving. 💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️

PS. Which was your favorite?
I FINALLY FINISHED A BOOK! 🍾📚🥂🎊🎊 It took me two weeks, but it‘s done. Unfortunately it was very up-and-down as far as story quality, but this being the Year of the Short Story for me, I‘m glad I read it. However, I wouldn‘t recommend it, especially to people who don‘t love short stories.
The collection follows several women and one man through the ups and downs of dating relationships and singlehood. It‘s a little too narrow and shallow.
Loved it! So honest and yet the characters were modern and realistic. Short stories about love and loss and disappointments. Real life, but refreshing.
Where am I supposed to be ....
Amazing short stories of modern day truth and honesty. It‘s like reading yourself think.
Can‘t wait to dig into these modern short stories. There was a great exhibit at SJMA about selfies and how artists experimented with light and other techniques to alter their photographs into self portraits and art. Very cool! Even had a selfie area.
When you plop down in the big comfy chair in the back corner of your favorite bookstore and notice this cover in the final shelves of the Fiction section and you see this stunning cover and notice the author has the same first name as you do and you have a Readers Club Bonus Card good for $10 off and then you post a picture of it on Instagram with the longest run-on sentence caption ever. #HowIBuyBooks
My current reads — the pink one is Poemland by Chelsey Minnis
Dancing started to move her less and less. The first time she'd been to a ballet she'd reared up with an emotion she couldn't really name. Now she counted beats, thought "bad feet". Now she felt very little at all. Now when she finished stretching her shoulders ached. Now she could use joint pain to predict the weather.
A poetic romp through couple-dom, breakups, a cat, a wedding, parenthood, starting over- inhabiting snippets before turning to another story in another place, to putting you in another someone's shoes. The narratives flit between 1st, 2nd and 3rd person with the adept hand of a talented writer. Basic activities and relationships become grandiose and straightforward in the most human-relatable way. Looking forward to more from Williams. #ARC

He is a man of logic, a Man of Science; and what logical men don't understand is that logic is soothing to no one but them, pragmatism a useless arsenal, reason a crappy opiate.
