Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve started these 4…but other books are calling me!!
So who knows??!!!
It‘s also the Jewish New Year beginning sundown Monday, so I‘m not sure how much reading I‘ll be doing 🤷🏼‍♀️
And to all:
May this New Year be filled with good health, peace, joy, happiness, and sweet moments for you and your family. L‘shanah Tovah!

Got 3 on the go, loving them all..... and if I finish those, then there‘s 3 more on the horizon.... but I‘m back at work tomorrow so who knows! 🤷‍♀️

#weeklyforecast @Cinfhen
Hoping to finish off the in progress read today....

#nextup 2 for #campTOB with lovely @BarbaraBB and a 🦇💩/ 🍌👖 #ARC that you‘ve made me super excited for Cindy! 😂

Hmmmmm, potential #WeeklyForecast My #vacationBrain is STILL melting 😁

#weeklyforecast

Started the top two already and LOVING both of them. They both also fit #booked2021 prompts.

I need to start on a new audiobook this week and quite fancy the Yoon, which is set in #laos. #readingasia2021

Then, later in the week, @rockpools and I are going to attempt a #buddyread of the Vuong, for #vietnam.

Looking forward to the #bookspinbingo numbers too of course!

#WeeklyForecast #BookReport

✨Continue with Everything Inside , short stories

✨I‘m on the last few pages of Too Much Lip ... I don‘t know what Kerry Salter MC would have to say about my tea cup 😂 she might like it ( I like Her a lot )

✨Kindle book in the background is Heft by Liz Moore , a lovely read , look forward to continuing with it

I‘ll need to finish 5 books by midnight Thursday if I want to reach 250 books...so if you have ideas for short audiobooks or good novellas please share below!!! @Reviewsbylola introduced me to the importance of choosing your #FirstRead at the start of each New Year....it sets the tone. Last year I read Olive Kitteridge and it was PHENOMENAL, so hoping my fiction and #NF choices won‘t disappoint 🤞🏼🤞🏼Excited for all the new reading challenges♥️

#bookreport & #weeklyforecast

Finished...
- My least favorite McEwan ( I normally love him) but this one was only so-so....
- I loved Wordslut! My favorite kind of Non fiction... informative and funny! Thank you so much for the gift Helen @squirrelbrain

Just started....
- An audio of the first Enola Holmes book... adorable!
- An #ARC of Summer water, which I know has been out in the UK for a while, but doesn‘t come out in US until January....

#bookreport / #weeklyforecast @Cinfhen

Still not having a lot of time to read, but enjoying what I do read, which is what matters! 😍

The McEwan is my final #pop2020 !!! 👍

Let‘s see if I can read those #NetGalley #ARCs this week 😄 I LOVED Ryan Gattis‘s previous book ALL INVOLVED so HUGE expectations for The System 🤞🏼

#weeklyforecast

Same as last week. I do think I‘ll finish at least one of my current reads this week. Next I want to start on “Horrid” and my ARC of “Take the Lead.”

@Cinfhen

I really can‘t make my mind up what to read this week. I have so many amazing books on my #bookspinbingo card for October so I can‘t start any of those yet...🤣

The French Promise seems fluffy enough for my poor tired brain!

Forgot to include Saint X on my #bookreport yesterday. Loving it so far but it‘s slow-going, only because I used to #audiowalk every day and haven‘t yet figured out how to fit that into my new working day.

#weeklyforecast:

Will probably finish “Once Upon a Wine” this week.

I also want to start “For Real” for my #armchairtravel prompt, and “Land of Love and Drowning” for my #bookspin.

@Cinfhen

I LOVE Misty & Cynthia‘s challenge theme this month.... #3Books (check out @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks & @OriginalCyn620 feed for all the details!!!)
Day 1:
#3Books....I plan to read this month
Tom Sawyer for #BannedBook week & #ClassicsChallenge
The Parisian I‘m in the mood for a HF saga
The Cooking Gene for IRL bookclub

#weeklyforecast:

The plan for this week is to continue with my current reads and maybe get to 75% of my audiobook.

Then it‘s time for bookspin!

@Cinfhen

#weeklyforecast:

Starting this week off with a clean slate!

I just started "Dreamland" and "A Song Below Water" today. Might pick up "Home Before Dark" tonight. It does take me longer to get through multiple books, but I enjoy having a variety and reading a chapter of each every night.

@Cinfhen

#weeklyforecast:

“Eleanor” is due back on Tuesday night, so I need to finish it soon!

May also finish “P.S. I Like You” and get to about 75% of “Sweet Black Waves.”

Will either use library holds or catch up on Kasie West for my free space #bookspin. I also need to start looking for titles for my next two #booked2020 prompts. So many choices!

@Cinfhen

#weeklyforecast

Continuing on with This Mournable Body (#bookerlonglist2020) and Sorry I‘m Late (just started last night for a #buddyread with @julesG )

Only a couple of hours to go on Open Mic Night (#readingeurope2020 #kazakhstan) then I‘ll start Pont Neuf (#luxembourg)

Very intrigued to start Bunny as it sounds 🍌 👖 and also looking forward to Three Wishes, which is a #buddyread with @Caroline2 !

#WeeklyForecast August 9- 15
This week is all about making some BINGOs 🤩
Dutch House is a re-read for IRL bookclub
Need book suggestions for #ReadingEurope2020
#Montenegro #NorthMacedonia #Azerbaijan

#weeklyforecast:

My hold of “Mexican Gothic” just came in, so I‘ll start that this week. Might also finally get to my July #doublespin, “Sweet Black Waves,” and continue with my audiobook of “Eleanor Oliphant.”

@Cinfhen

#weeklyforecast:

I‘ll keep plugging along on my current reads. Might pick up an audiobook, depending on my mood.

Up next will either be my #doublespin or another #bookspinbingo title that catches my eye! 😅

@Cinfhen

#weeklyforecast:

Continue with “The Girl Who Smiled Beads.” Up next is my #doublespin- a retelling of Jane Eyre, set in space.

@Cinfhen

My tentative #weeklyforecast isn‘t too ambitious: reach page 560 in Twenty Years After, finish my two in progress books, and maybe start Who is Vera Kelly. I should also probably do a quick skim of my book club‘s read because it‘s been over a month since I read it and book club is scheduled to meet next week, assuming they don‘t close the office.

#BookReport @Cinfhen
I finished 3 last week:
The Black Prism- Pick!
Gideon the Ninth- So-So
A Woman Is No Man- Pick, I‘m still processing, so haven‘t reviewed yet

#WeeklyForecast
I‘d like to read 3 this week:
Red, White, & Royal Blue- looking for light fluff
The Book of Joan- Dystopian for bookclub
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind- audio

It‘s a tad early, but here‘s my #weeklyforecast: I need to reach page 366 of Twenty Years After to stay on track for my #yearofdumas. I have one NetGalley ARC that releases this month to finish and I‘ve picked a TBR audiobook for the week that fits my March theme. I also hope to start either the next Daniel Silva book or one of the Tailored Book Recommendations that happens to match my March theme.

Weekly Forecast

🎧 American Dirt
📖 Finish Casablanca
📖 Finish An Iliad
📚Start Followers
📚Start Chechnya and Dagestan (a history of the Northern Caucasus)
This can be achieved, especially if I get another snow day!🤞 Otherwise life/work/reality will interfere with my plans. 🤨

#weeklyforecast I‘m relying on audiobooks to help me get through some ARCs that have already been published and hoping to finish the print/digital books I‘ve already started. I‘ll be thrilled if I can complete 2/3rds of this list, but I fear another chaotic week. Fingers crossed for some solid reading time.

I have big plans for December. I want to get through my NetGalley queue and read the two physical ARCs currently in my possession, because I want a clean slate for 2020. I also need just one more book for my #MountTBR goal and I‘m going to give that honor to Medicus. Maybe. 😂
So, to meet those goals, I need to read all of the above this week. 🤞🏻
