Welcome to Litsy!

This book was not listed and I don‘t know what you do for an unlisted book. I‘m on a mission to read Aussie authors. At the moment the library makes it easy to pick them as they have a kangaroo sticker on the spine. I just go along the shelves and look at these books and pick some to read. The library is about to change the way they shelf the books . Instead of alphabetical order they are going to be in genres. Another library I go to does this 👇

I have some #LitsyLove mail going out today. I'm way behind with everything, not just replies. I hope to slowly catch up over March.

Today, in the UK we celebrate World Book Day. I saw so many children walking to school in some great outfits. I love the fact that every child will receive a book token today which can be exchanged for a book. This could be the first book that some children may own. Encouraging the next generation to read is so important ❤️💕

I‘m off today so I‘m taking the dogs out by the river, doing some university work, visiting my nan and of course, reading.

Here‘s my physical/ebook progress for January (10) & February (6).

I‘m doing a #Roll100 list for audiobooks and a separate one for physical/ebooks. I‘m really trying to clear space on my shelves & read books I already own.

Louisa May Alcott

I love her books. I want them all. 😍
Very close second: L. M. Montgomery.
I'd like to ask them both what encouraged them to become published.

Hi everyone! I am doing a brief check-in today. I have been dealing with some health issues and wanted to let you know I have not forgotten about you guys. I have not been comfortable sitting in a chair and to make a matters worse, I can't post to Litsy from my phone. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app; however, that has not solved the problem.

When all the library holds come in at the same time😂💀

I saw this today and had to add it to my TBR 🥧

Hope you all have a lovely day 💕

I don‘t post about this. I am a firm believer everyone is entitled to their own opinions whether mine coincides with/against those. Watching the address while I personally know & see many hard working people suffering. Attacking our allies while our stock market plummets. My heart has fully broken for this country. I feel a constant reminder tonight that history does repeat itself, just hope I‘m wrong. #ranttime

#RantTime Slava Ukraini ! ✊🇺🇦💙💛 Insulting a hero is a new low , and the bar was SO LOW ! @dabbe

Saw this and thought of my Litsy friends. 😊

I tried, I really did.

Also this. I have never been more embarrassed, humiliated, and enraged by my government than I am now. Reposting is resistance. #ranttime

Dear Canada and Mexico (and while we're at it, the entire world),

We are so sorry that your neighbor's president and administration are having a narcissistic, idiotic, and completely chaotic breakdown.

Apologetically,
The empathetic Americans who did not vote for this #ldf.

#ranttime 🤬 but Tim Barker‘s response is priceless!

Husband interrupted my quiet reading time this morning to share this story of dog abuser Kristi Noem visiting this unique library that sits on the Quebec-VT border. What the actual F🤬? I can‘t find any video online, probably because library patrons/employees don‘t default to cell phone recording. I‘m holding out hope that there‘s maybe security video since the library does sit on border🤞🏼

So sorry friends, I blame a case of the Mondays for the later post! Here are the numbers for March! Have fun 🙂

Very exciting and nostalgic book mail today! 😁😍🤩

Hope you all have a lovely day. Can‘t wait til I finish work today then I‘ve got 3 days off 😊💕

It‘s Pancake day (Shrove Tuesday) here in the UK 🇬🇧 today. The girls will have theirs for breakfast! 🥞

Happy March. I‘m taking a mental break thanks to a troubling day for my clients. Several of a client‘s employees are in immigration detention tonight and another client will have to terminate employees for not having proper documentation. I‘ve spent tears for families being ripped apart because these folks just wanted to work.

Even reading is too much of a slog. So I‘m coloring pretty pictures. Prayers to those who need them tonight.

Reading is a ticket to adventure! 🎟️

My #Bookspin TBR for March! There are SEVERAL books on this list that I've started, but just haven't finished (for whatever reason). And when I say “several,“ I mean more than half. 😬

That said, I hope to get a lot of these knocked off the list, finally!

I read less than half the books I read for January (17) but the books averaged 80 pages more per book than those read in January. In other words, I read some chunksters in February!!

Ignore the pages read each day. I read every day. I just sometimes forget to post my status. ☺️

This month was rough, as we had to say goodbye to Millie the rescue beagle and losing her just sucks. Grateful for books as always, for providing escape when the world is worlding. #februarystats

I would rather read a book with terrible writing but a good story. The content is more important to me than perfect spelling or grammar. As long as I can follow the story, I‘m good!

#SundayFunday

Hey all! I decided to finally join StoryGraph, come find me over there at CoffeeK8 too!

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

I have read both types. Several times. And I have powered through to the end on both types. Several times.

And I find myself wishing I had bailed on the terrible stories more often. 😅 So, I‘d rather read a good story, but terrible writing.

#SundayFunday I hope you all have a nice, relaxing Sunday, and don‘t forget to tag me in your posts!

A romantic fantasy that is perfect for fans of Divine Rivals me!). 17 year Aurelia Wycherling is entering the debutante season but there is one problem. She is cursed and faces the reality that she may lose her magic. All young witches must ‘tether‘ to form a strong magical bond.
Aurelia learns a witch called Nightley, from a rival family is searching for a way that a witch can keep their magic without tethering. A forbidden alliance is formed. 🌟

I love these graphics from TSG. I may try to log daily reading progress for March. The hard part will be remembering 😂

Book stats for February. I ended the month on a strong NF kick, which will probably be continued into March. #storygraph
