Happy 4th! Starting my afternoon starting my #seasonalcozies pick for July while grilling up some chicken breast to make chicken salad with later! Going to be a quiet day (my husband works for CBP and he worked 16 hours last night with another 16 hour shift tonight so he needs SLEEP) filled with books, grilling, some soft music, and a few drinks with my sister.
pickJessica Fletcher is asked to go to Northern Ireland to deliver family heirlooms to her neighbor‘s family. Of course, when Jessica appears anywhere, murder happens. I greatly enjoyed the descriptions of the landscape in this addition to the series. The mystery was good - I suspected the killer towards the end of the book. Great distraction reading; #Zeke and #Xander agree! #CatsOfLitsy
A very poor reading month for me in July but did read 3 excellent 👌 books 📚 out of the 4 and also started fourth wing 🪽 which I was hoping to finish in July but due to travel and work finished this morning . So fingers crossed 🤞 il improve my reading stats for august - ideally I‘d like to finish at least 6! Happy 😃 reading folks and a fabulous august 😍😎
#USIndependence Happy 4th to all my US Littens! I assume the entire point of IG is to pretend I can afford fabulously decorated cookies for every occasion no matter how ridiculous. #SummerSpecial @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
#BOOKSPINBINGO for July
#BOOKSPIN is Women We Buried Women We Burned
#DOUBLEBOOKSPIN is Little Monsters
Super excited that both the #bookspin and #doublespin selections are books for #readingtheamericas2023. Plus, I‘ll finally have to read Carl Hiaasen instead of just talking about reading his work. 😂
#bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo for July! Also in shot, should have 2 lines in bingo for June by the end of the week 🙌
Changing up my #bookspin list for July to include a handful of old NetGalley titles (2020/2021 😳) and a handful of titles for #readingtheamericas2023 to increase the diversity of “country of origin” on my reading tracker, and some of the nominees for Bloody Scotland‘s Best Debut Novel prize. #doublespin #bookspinbingo
Feeling completely mind-blown that we are only ONE WEEK away from JULY! 😲 Seriously, we HAVE to be in some kind of weird time warp!!!!
ANYWAY that means that it is (unbelievably!) time to start thinking about July #BookSpin and #BookSpinBingo lists!!! Let me know what you are thinking about reading, and if you'd like to be added or removed from the tag list. I'll be back on July 2 with the new numbers!!!
