Are you ready for #CampLitsy24? Get your bags, don‘t forget your sunglasses and we‘ll meet at Camp later today to discuss the first half of Clear. I‘ll post three questions, we are looking forward to your thoughts.
If you‘ve finished the whole book, no spoilers please, next week there‘ll be another three questions.
The 3rd and 4th Saturday in June we‘ll be discussing Butter after which Meg will take over for July ☀️ 📚 ⛺️
For anyone who needs a little reminder (I know I certainly did) 🪷.
@DebinHawaii #5JoysFriday
This week has brought a pleasingly eclectic bunch of small joys. 😊
1️⃣ my new lunch bag and bento box combination. Who knew packing lunch could be so much fun?
2️⃣ the rainbow votive/tea light holder that a friend of mine commissioned from a local artist for me for my birthday.
3️⃣ watermelon splash body spray! 🍉
4️⃣ getting my currently reading pile down to 🔟 books. Progress!
5️⃣ As simple as it is, a bottle of glittery nail polish that looks like the night sky. 🌌

@DebinHawaii
#5JoysFriday time! ❤️
1. Class Reunion with my primary school class
2. My first Pride 🏳️🌈 ❤️ could fill a whole post only with joys from that afternoon
3. Secco helping me folding the laundry 😹
4. The new Doctor Who episode (not what I was expecting!)
5. Finished my book list for the next round of Erin's challenge (the joy of making book lists 📚)
@DebinHawaii
Anyone going to any book conventions? I am thinking about attending one. I love a good convention Any suggestions? What was your experience! I am not sure about an online one, but this is the year of yes, so maybe.
I grew up reading a lot of cis/het/allo books, and when I finally saw myself represented for the first time, it filled my heart with such joy 🖤🩶🤍💜🏳️🌈📚🏳️⚧️.

A new Hunger Games is coming out. It follows the 50th Hunger games, the second quarter quill. I believe this is the one they doubled the tributes and sent 48 kids to their deaths and Haymitch won.
And it has already been picked up to be a movie.
I‘ve been reading only from the list of 17 books that were in my currently reading book graveyard. Most of them have been on my CR for over a year. As of this evening, I‘ve gotten that total down to 10, and I‘m quite thrilled by that. Progress! 😊📚💕
Ok, I did way better this time...the last challenge I played, I only scored about 2 out of 100 🤔.
This Challenge
44/100 · 44%
Been forever since I've seen many of these.
Now how to select my top three favorites???? 🤔
Batman
Any, Back to the Future
Any, Indiana Jones
Ok, that was difficult 😉. Technically, I guess that's cheating 😂.
P.S. wonder why Popeye with Robin Williams didn't make the list? That was a hit, right?
Not book related in any way, but #DannyBoy in a laundry hamper needed to be shared. #catsofLitsy

Congrats everyone who finished all the words in May or finished any words because you got books off your TBRs! Remember this runs all year, so whenever you find them it counts!

Feel free to guess if you like, I will reveal at the end of the month!

This song has been haunting me for like a week...not sure why. I hear a clip of this every Sunday, yet it never before stayed with me for more than a day. Good thing I love this song 😉👍🎶💝. Should select a book from my bookcase to match up 📚😎🎶.
In May I read 6 books. My favorites were Fantasticland and Butcher & Blackbird 🖤
For #ReadOrDonate I read Fantasticland and will be keeping it. And I'm halfway through Plant Witchery by Juliet Diaz, which I will most likely be keeping as well.

#hyggehourreadathon #naturalitsy #litsolace here is my reading set for the evening. It is only 95 F thanks to the clouds. Might be my last night being able to sit outside before dark. @jenniferw88 @AllDebooks @Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie

Hi friends! Since we got through the whole deck of #TBRtarot cards, I made some of my own! I put them all into a numbered grid and used the trusty spinner thingy 😂😁 Enjoy!!

Happy June 1 everyone… Here‘s a quick glance of my #BookSpinBingo list for May. I read eight out of the 20 that I pre-selected, and read three others totaling 11 books for the month. I was able to read both my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin for the month. I also completed one of this month‘s #Roll100 as well as one from a previous month.
My mom is looking for a new coffee ☕ maker. We've been sweeping different stores over the past few weeks...while no coffee pot has won my mom's interest...I've discovered some goodies 😂.
Including this Dracula doll from best buy. That store really has abandoned all things DVD 🥺. I don't know if your locations are the same, but a word of caution. Try to go into best buy with a buddy. Extremely lonely.
May #wrapup #BookspinBingo
I‘m positive I won‘t finish anything today. I DNFed my #Bookspin and got a bingo. I started an #aam book, which is also my #Doublespin, but won‘t finish until June.
Total read: 10
Audio - 4
Novels - 4
Graphic Novels - 2
Children‘s book - 1
DNF - 1
Here is my #BookspinBingo for June. I will move the titles as needed when @TheAromaofBooks shares the numbers on June 2nd.

I‘m using a year long list like @TheAromaofBooks does. I moved two books from the backup list on the right to fill in the previous picks.
#BookspinBingo list to come.

Been missing in action whilst I dealt with some life stuff, but the #20in4 Readathon starts Friday. For anyone who has already entered Friday, or needs more time to organise, feel free to do the Readathon from Saturday - Tuesday.
As always very informal, all welcome, and aim to either read 20 hours, or 20 chapters over the four days, or even set your own target. I‘m hoping it helps me get back in a reading habit.
Tea review- All Chai‘s Up by The Chai Box. I think I got it in a Reece Witherspoon book box. It is a strong black tea. Best served for breakfast. Kinda bitter so if you like coffee I think you will like this tea. I added lots of sugar and honey. I‘ve had better chai so not going to order a restock.

April: Passing by Nella Larsen
May: A Shadow Intelligence by Oliver Harris
But R.F. Kuang remains undefeated with A Dragon Republic — but it was VERY close.
A bit disappointed in the five books (but I have read and liked Peter Swanson) but I loved the add ons. I wanted two more add ons.
1. Helping kids gain confidence in their ability to write and communicate, introducing them to the beauty of poetry and the written word, and helping them rediscover the joy of reading.
2. I stopped believing that balance is possible. 🤷♀️
3. I used to love to play school, so yes!
#WondrousWednesday
1– when I worked at a children‘s shelter, one of the teens I was supervising got into the medication box before my shift started. The shifts switched, & I came on duty only to find that he‘d overdosed. I drove him to the hospital. It‘s been 25 years, & I still think about him and hope he‘s okay.
2– working from home, with the confidence & drive to support myself creatively.
3– No, but I did that career for a while & decided it wasn‘t for me.
May: #AANHPI
Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander month

1. I have a white car. I‘m resigned to the fact that it‘s always dirty.
2. Not from a book, but definitely a fictional character. Mitchell from Being Human (UK version!) was a hot mess. #two4tuesday

Me: I need more bookshelves
My mom: you need to get rid of some of your books
My hubby: let me move two desks and a storage cabinet and build you more billy ikea shelves on my one day off work.
He‘s a keeper. Nothing sexier than a man that enables my book buying habit and can carry 25 book of the month books at one time to help you organize the shelves.

Voting is now open to pick the June selection for the #LitsySciFiBookClub #LSFBC. Voting will be open through Tuesday. I checked with my library, and three of these books are available online: All Systems Red, The Fated Sky and Goliath. The other two are not overly pricey on Amazon at 9.99 and 4.99.
