@howjessreads #friyayintro

1️⃣ None that aren't work related. In terms of fiction, I'm too busy to read for fun. Have my refular Friday tag.
2️⃣ None that were cute, polite or not meant to hurt, unfortunately.
3️⃣ I'm guessing you're not meaning actual hors-d'oeuvre here, so onion rings.
4️⃣ Leaving for our annual. we-rented-a-cottage-in-the-middle-of-nowhere shinging with friends.
5️⃣ At this time of the morning two. Ask me later today.

1️⃣ Other than numbers, 👏😁😘

1️⃣ I live in Ontario.
2️⃣ I want to move back to Québec.
3️⃣ I'm in between reads.
4️⃣ Ottawa? Perhaps, beavertales (the pastry). Québec has the clichéd poutine, but it's a cliché. Acadians have entirely different dishes called poutine/poutine râpée/râpure, which I prefer.
5️⃣ Will do!
#frideas @SailorMoon

Look at that! A #selfie. Ok, you can look away now. 😛

2️⃣ Three. It's not actually an English word, by the by.
3️⃣ Litsy.
4️⃣ Surviving my son's heartbreak that my husband is elavong for 10 days for work.
5️⃣ At random: @Jocelyn73c Hi. I don't think we've met. Would you like to join the fun?
@jesshowbooks #friyayintro

1️⃣ 🖤💜💙
2️⃣ If fastforwarding through Mortal Instruments to get to the Malec scenes counts as binging, that. Otherwise, my son had been binging Spongebob.
3️⃣ That hasn't happened in a while.

5️⃣ Past routine? Hell if I know. My husband works all day and evening Sunday, so.

2️⃣ One sister.
3️⃣ Nope, not since 1979.
4️⃣ I wrote a book on (a longitudinal study of) genealogists in the 19th and 20th centuries. So I guess the answer is yes.
5️⃣ East.
#friyayintro @jesshowbooks

1️⃣ Haven't heard it. Don't really care either. I'll wait until one of the science blogs explains the auditory illusion.
2️⃣ Podcasts.
3️⃣ June 22nd for primary schools.
4️⃣ My son is in 2nd grade.
5️⃣ Sure! 🎓
#friyayintro @jesshowbooks

Turns out the changes I had made to my train reservation in order to leave a day early were never fully put so into the system and it looks like I'm not leaving today. I'm leaving tomorrow. On the plus side, I was never charged. On the down side, I'm not leaving today. So, Ihanged my arrival at the hotel, again, and I on a bus home. I guess I'll be reading. *shakes fist at the sky*
😤😤😤😤😤

1️⃣ Leaving later today for Montréal for the Boréal con, where I'll be hanging out with buds, participating in two round tables and hopefully meeting @Neuvel

4️⃣ The dying non-edible crabapple tree in my backyard came down!
5️⃣ Why not? At random: @Happylilbooknook Hello! Nice to meet you! ☺️
#friyayintro @jesshowbooks

Such a good idea @JoScho ! #myfridayface

Igrec makes this face when he can't stand on my husband in the morning. He just lies on his blanky and sighs. Or looks at me like he's wondering why we don't love him. Because he's obviously not loved. Obviously.

1️⃣ Oldest
2️⃣ I have one sister and 51 living first cousins, so I would say that's a no.

#friyayintro @jesshowbooks

1️⃣ This is going to be my weekend. My son doing nothing because he is being hornery, because my husband is working. Easter week is the most important and busiest period of the Christian year, so I am a Church widow. The refrain is "I'm bored!" and "I'm hungry!"
2️⃣ Not allowed. Still reading for the Jacques Brossard Prize. If you are wondering why so long, it's 61 authors, many with more than one work.

3️⃣ Define family. I have 51 living first cousins, plus their spouses, kids and grand-kids, on top of my parents, sister, aunts and uncles. So I buy/make presents for those at Christmas Eve, plus a few friends.
4️⃣ I did not set goals. I just read.
5️⃣ ✋

1️⃣ Stuffing. Specifically, my home made stuffing (it gets all eaten before I ever get to it; I resent that)
2️⃣ SF, every time
3️⃣ No sure. It used to be twitter. Now, I'd say Instagram, I guess
