Welcome to Litsy!

1. I rarely drink when reading, but I'm a big fan of Kahlua, so I'd be drinking a White Russian or a Mint Mudslide.
2. The Blighted Stars by Megan E. O'Keefe I can not recommend this book enough, definitely in the running for my favorite book of 2024. Amazing!!
@TheSpineView #Two4Tuesday

1. I kind of read “what sounds good” depending on how I feel. I have a Camp Litsy book that I‘m not sure is exciting me but it‘s also a library book, so challenges and due dates drive my choices sometimes.
2. I cannot wait to read Rom Commers by Katherine Center, it comes out today, but I get the book Friday, so I‘ll try gobble up a book to clear my deck. I like to read books by authors I love hot off the press!

🚘 I learned a long time ago but I haven‘t driven a car with manual transmission I a long time.

🚖 I don‘t think I‘ve ever read a book that features a car. If I have I‘ve forgotten.

1. I received 2 books & gifted 1 (not counting Litsy swap)
2. I like to cross stitch bookmarks for gifts

1. Recently, I‘ve wanted to learn to do the dance Ted Lasso does on the field, I found a YouTube video and hope to copy him for some laughs. For a long time I‘ve wanted to do calligraphy or other fun writing styles.
2. Because of Mr. Terupt. I was today years old when I realized it‘s a series! A charming be a good neighbor story. ❤️

1. Nope
2. Not that I would recommend them but it is what first came to mind… the 50 shades books

1. Not a big trip but I have several small trips planned
2. Not really…

@BethM @peaknit @JenReadsAlot

1. No and I'm okay with that 😂
2. Yes if it's a good one!
Thanks @Kshakal @TheSpineView #two4tuesday

1. I would absolutely spend all of it and then some!
2. I walked into the bookstore and that‘s the last they ever saw of me!

@JenReadsAlot @peaknit @BethM

1. Sweats and a tshirt and a sweatshirt, anything comfy and warm.
2. Technically none because I finished all the books I was reading. Tomorrow it will be 2, I‘ll start a physical book tonight and an audio tomorrow during work.

1) warm layers. Today: long woollen socks, a pair of jeans, three shirts/jumpers layered on top of each other and a scarf. I am at home. We have central heating, but I'm a walking icicle most of the time.

2) six

1. When I'm talking to someone and they can't stay off their phones!
2. Someone who is just self-absorbed.
Thanks for the tag! @TheSpineView @peaknit @Kshakal #two4tuesday

1. Book related, vague or ambiguous endings. If I've read 300-400 pages, I want an ending that's clear. No fade to black and the reader has to interpret the ending for themselves. You're the author, do your job and stick the landing, for better or worse, give the reader closure.
2. Cheaters. Whether it's a personal or professional relationship, I hate people who win by being dishonest or disloyal.
Thank you for the tag @TheSpineView #Two4Tuesday

1. Unless interrupted by a library hold, I chose my next book by random, drawing from my TBR basket with all my books on little pieces of paper.
2. Sunday. I'm usually off that day, the pace is slow, no phone calls from telemarketers, just chillin and reading as much as I can.
Thanks @Cuilin for the tag

1) No! 😁 I'm home alone from Christmas Day (afternoon) on until New Year's Eve. No appointments, just me in my PJs, books and maybe some craft projects.

2) No, it's supposed to be very mild weather.

1. No, my family is local, & I didn‘t take time off for a trip.
2. Think it may snow a little on Friday but will be bitter cold. Christmas Eve may only be up to 15 degrees (very low for Kentucky). So, I‘ll be trying to stay inside. #two4tuesday @TheSpineView

Hey I‘m on time for once!

1. As a kid- watching the parade, as an adult hunting.
2. Pumpkin pudding

1. I do the turkey trot every thanksgiving morning! (It is a 2 mile race for charity)
2. I am a sucker for some good stuffing!

@BethM @peaknit

1. I used to now its usually a screenshot on my phone as a reminder.
2. No idea. Lol
Thanks @Kshakal @TheSpineView #two4tuesday

1. My biggest pet peeve is when my husband walks in almost every night and starts chatting as he gets ready for bed, I know he sees me reading. He thinks he‘s funny. We‘ve been married for 28 years, stop talking when I‘m reading, Mister! But alas…it is a lost cause 😂
2. I don‘t collect anything but if money were no object, I‘d simply buy more with NO regrets, leaving them behind me like bread crumbs to share.
#two4tuesday @TheSpineView @Kshakal

1. I do enjoy them… usually very much!
2. I love anything by Phillipa Gregory… she is a master at Tudor England!

1. It depends… it depends on my mood and what I am in the mood for
2. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is super moody and it is my least favorite because of it

Thanks for the tag @Eggs … I tag @BethM @JenReadsAlot @peaknit

1. A total bibliophile 🤓
2. A voracious reader loves to read, a bibliophile loves to read and feels the need to have all things bookish in and around their lives.

1. I don‘t mean too but I seem to find other books all of the time!
2. Oh gosh, at least 10 years… maybe even 15!

@BethM @peaknit @JenReadsAlot

1. More often than I should.
2. Oh geez, I‘m sure I have books I got in the 90s that I still haven‘t read.

Thanks @EadieB for the tag

1- I like snow. I don't like the shoveling or driving part.
2- Staying inside where it is warm and reading! 📚

#two4tuesday

1. I'm okay with it as long as I don't have to drive in it!
2. Cozy inside reading!
Thanks @Kshakal @TheSpineView #two4Tuesday

#Two4Tuesday

1. I'm in the middle😊 It is so good to play on the snow and doing snow/winter activity. But I hate it on the road. Don't like to drive on snow I'm always scared.

2. Sledding and snowball fight. ❄❄

@TheSpineView

1. So far, I have enjoyed The Ex Hex the most.
2. Hoping that my epic trip to LA/Anaheim in May doesn‘t get cancelled.

Thanks for the tag, @EadieB.

1) I finished my Goodreads Challenge in May already. I'm at 385/200 books. I wouldn't have thought I could read that many books.

2) there are several books left on my #AutumnTBR. Those I'd like to finish before the year is out.

How about you, @ravenlee @youneverarrived @Caroline2 @jmtrivera?

#two4tuesday @TheSpineView

1. I always love a good indie bookstore
2. Hardly ever, I just like to wonder and see where the aisles take me

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1) I can't honestly remember at the moment

2) Foreign. I think 99% of the fiction books I read are not set in Germany.

1. No. I rarely read reviews unless they are by folks I'm connected to on here or Goodreads... and that's only when they post them, not when I'm prepping to write one.

2. Not at all.

Thanks for the tag, @RamsFan1963 and the game, @TheSpineView

Here's another, if ya wanna, @DarkMina 😁

1. No. I‘ve seen teachers use audio with a class book before while the kids read along.
2. I do like NF on audio because I would never get around to reading all the NF otherwise. I will be starting a new job in June that has a 45 min commute, so I‘m saving all the audiobooks until then! I also love narrators with accents (No. 1 Ladies‘ Detective Agency, etc).
#two4tuesday @TheSpineView

I‘ve been trying to read some of the books that have been lingering unread on my Kindle for quite some time and this was one of them. Jeffrey Mere is a 64 year old Scottish man who leads a predictable life until he decides to shake things up by climbing a mountain, traveling to Rome and letting his guard down to look for love. This was a nice heartwarming book that was a good palate cleanser between some of the heavier books I‘ve been reading.
