@Eggs #wondrouswednesday

1. In all honesty, I didn‘t have any positive influences in the way of adults but I had my best friend. We met when we were 6 and she became a source of light in my life and was a good kid who made me want to do good too. 28 years later and we‘re still besties, but more like sisters.
2. My husband and two kids of course.

These #WondrousWednesday choices are tough ones! Here goes…

1️⃣Not be able to taste
2️⃣Know when I die 😬
3️⃣See the future but only if I could choose when b/c I think being able to see everyone‘s future would drive me mad!
4️⃣Find the love of my life (it‘s worked out so far!)
5️⃣I can‘t imagine a forever winter so would definitely pick summer. ☀️
6️⃣Be invisible!

Thanks again for the tag @Monica5 🥰

#wondrouswednesday Thank you for the tag @Eggs

1. Taste, then sweets would have no spell over me lol
2. Neither, just can‘t.
3. That one is hard too. Change the past if I have to ;)
4. I feel grateful for my husband. I‘d love to find my post corrections passion, I‘m going to need to spike my blood pressure.
5. Summer. Is that even a question?! Winter forever oof.
6. Be invisible, that could be lovely for an introvert to turn on at will.

1- I love food but I love color more.
2- I feel like knowing HOW has the potential to bum me out more than WHEN lol.
3- I like how my life has ended up for the most part, so I don‘t want to change anything in my past.
4- I have found both but I‘d choose him any day ❤️
5- Florida winters please lol.
6- Definitely fly, think how much I‘d save on travel lol.

Thanks for the tag.

I‘m from Florida, so our summers are HOT and I can‘t stand the heat. Our winters involve mild cold fronts where it feels amazing outside. Everything else is just preference lol.

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

When I had more books I did them by genre then author last name then series. So ally mysteries were together with all robin cooks together sectioned by series for example. #wondrouswednesday

1. My work nickname was peanut for some reason, and it evolved into Peaknit when I had a knitting blog for 8 or so years.
2. I like to walk or of course, KNIT! lol
3. The dramatized version of Fourth Wing, it was outstanding!
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

I'm a day late but these were fun questions!
#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

1. Spoiled! I actually seek out spoilers all the time 🙈
2. I think it would be very cool to interact with a favorite character
3. Hmmm, a mystery novel as long as it's a cozy mystery and not a thriller with a murderer on the loose 😱
4. Ooo sci-fi would be fun! 🚀
5. Skip the last! I need the set up from the first book but I'm all the time not finishing a series

1. Have the ending spoiled
2. Meet favorite character
3. Mystery novel
4. Science Fiction 😍
5. Skip the first
#wondrouswednesday

#wondrouswednesday This one is thoughtful. I don‘t think people see me the way I see myself, I am introverted, but can extrovert. I feel like I may look stand offish but I‘m really just listening and gauging where/if I can join. Like watching a jump rope. Waiting for the opening ☺️
I‘d like to be seen as fair, patient and reliable.
@Eggs I don‘t know you IRL but here I intuit that you are a great grandma and mother as well as a kind helper. 🥰

#wednesdaywanderings on Thursday. After watching all of the seasons of All Creatures Great and Small, I‘d like to walk the Scottish Highlands. So lush and rich. Orrrr a walk to camp one in the Himalayas would be amazing. #MidSummerSolace #LitSolace

1. My reading goal for 2024 is to read 40 books because I turned 40 this year. (I‘m currently at 36/40 🙌)

2. I‘m such a moody reader that I rarely stick to the plan lol. But I‘m totally okay with that.

3. It‘s opened my mind and heart, allowing me to better empathize with other people‘s experiences, perspectives, and challenges. Also, reading is just so much fun!

#wonderouswednesday @Eggs
1. A favorite summer book is just a good beach read for me, I‘ve read a number of foamy bits already and love them, low investment, big return for summer fun.
2. We have some one night or day big city and State park trips planned, I‘m a fall traveler.
3. My daughters have been particularly great company and fun lately. Young adults, I feel like I‘ve grown my own friends. ❤️

🦋For this week (too daunting to think of my entire teaching life at various unis), that would be inviting a librarian friend who works at the American School in Dubai to share a workshop with my undergrad students on SDGs and picturebooks.
🦋less hours, more holidays, and less pointless meetings and bureaucracy and paperwork
🦋not at all, but now I cannot imagine doing anything else. Thank you for the tag, dear @Eggs

1. My favorite library memories would have to be taking my kids to story time and to get their first library cards. They‘re more into screens nowadays but the wonder that filled their little faces will forever be ingrained in my mind.

2. Mostly Amazon 😬, Barnes & Noble, and indie shops.

3. Currently reading Muse of Nightmares, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, and listening to The Wandering Inn, Vol. 1.

#whatsnewwednesday @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Read4life

Made my second blood 🩸 donation this past weekend with our new local branch of Blood Bank of Alaska. I haven't been able to donate regularly since leaving PA, so this feels good. Got a free T-shirt, too!

Thanks for the tag @Eggs

Wanna play @Andrew65 @CatLass007 🧐🤓📚

#WonderousWednesday @eggs
💜 paperback (as long as it‘s trade sized)
💜 Fiction
💜 sci-Fi
💜 recent
💜 coffee
💜 digital
💜 print

I could have put both for a lot of these choices!

1- both, though if I can wait for paperback I will just bc of cost.
2- always fiction
3-either just no WW2
4- recent, I usually find “classics” boring.
5- coffee in the am, tea whenever
6- both though I tend toward physical
7- both, I need to be surrounded by books

1) Christmas - but I'm sure that will change the older and really independent the children grow
2) my children
3) board games, DIY projects, flying a kite, skiing

1. That you have no idea what can be motivating people‘s unpleasant behavior. I‘ve worked with kids whose disruptive, defiant behavior drove me crazy, but when I learned what was going on in their lives, I wondered how they had the energy to even get out of bed in the morning. 😢
2. I‘m a high-school English teacher turned librarian.
3. High-school librarian is my dream job!
#WondrousWednesday

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs
Thanks for the tag! 😊

1 - Always be polite and kind, BUT don‘t be afraid to advocate for yourself. Also, a paper trail is a valuable asset.

2 - I‘m a marketer at a small educational publishers.

3 - I honestly have no idea. Something COMPLETELY different, something adventurous. With travel.

1. Apple Pie - mom was the best pie maker. She would be 72 tomorrow on her leapday birthday 🩷 she loved her special day every four years.
2. A slightly musty basement because my mom stored our Christmas boxes in the basement, it reminds me of her.❤️
3. The smell of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride…also the burning of the library of Alexandria on Spaceship Earth…because DisneyWorld.
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs Thank you!

1. Just Can‘t Get Enough by Depeche Mode or Celebration by Kool and the Gang
2. The Big Island of Hawaii
3. Solitude, walking, resting, reading

#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

“Fashionably late” to the party—thanks for the tag, @GinaKButler !

1. I have an affinity for the Revolutionary War-era and early America.
2. First read of 2024 was a biography of P.T. Barnum
3. I‘ve read most of the biggies: War and Peace, Les Mis, A Suitable Boy. But I think “Clarissa,” which I read last year with the esteemed #Clarissa group, beats them all at circa 1,800 pages.

#wondrouswednesday

Late to the party…thanks for the tag, @CoverToCoverGirl 😊

1. I don‘t know that I have a favorite time period…I‘ve just been avoiding WWII for a bit. I love historical fiction (and non-fiction) and will read any of it!
2. The first book I started was A Column Of Fire by Ken Follett.
3. Either War and Peace or Les Miserables. 📚

Care to join in, @Kelly326 @Amiable ?
