I don‘t know about you but I can‘t wait for my first 3 day weekend of 2022!

Normally I am working either my library job or my part time or doing homework for my MLIS degree. Not this weekend!!

So, this girl is going to read and relax all weekend by the pool!

What are your Memorial Day weekend plans?

DGRachel Yay! I‘m so glad you can enjoy the full three day! 3y
Graciouswarriorprincess @DGRachel Thanks! I miss you! Hope that you and your mom are doing well!! 3y
DGRachel I miss you, too! We‘re both good but very slowly going out in public. It feels like we try one thing, have a bad experience, and go back to personal lock down. But, we ventured into a restaurant tonight. Baby steps. ☺️ 3y

At work we are creating a library to promote literacy in the community and we had tons of extras of each book so I was allowed to take some home.... I also donated some of my own to add. (I'm going to put them in my office at work but want to go through then first). 😃

I found the graphic on FB and this book simply seemed suitable as an ‘anchor‘ (is that even what you call it? well, I guess you know what I mean). 😊😘 6y

Another part of my #XmasHaul was this sandwich cushion to match my burger cushion (thank you to Zac & Liz) & a mouse pad with the dictionary entry for booklover. I was so happy with my pressies this year, and I haven‘t counted in the swap boxes yet either(though one is still MIA)Any Book related gift is brilliant as far as I‘m concerned #bookmaswasawesome #merryxmas

1) approx. 6-10
2) I'd say medium lenth, 300 page-ish
3) By trying to read light literature and by getting inspiration through Litsy. :)
4) 100 - I'm at 87.
5) kitschy romance
6) the tasseled ones
7) Good question! Maybe 1,200ish? We have books in every room.
8) All the books! 😂
9) My first car was a purple VW beetle which I wrecked after only three months. 😢
