So enjoyable! Listened to the audio version.? Gotta tell ya, I am a late comer to the "This is Us" phenomenon. Until, I absolutely fell I love with the broken and bruised but courageous Kate/Chrissy. ? So, while the house is quiet this am, I watched first episode and am hooked. #dogsoflitsy #thisisme #thisisus

DivineDiana What a view! The TV series is fantastic! It will touch your heart! So much love! ❤️ 6y
Talewaggingreads Thanks so much @DivineDiana ❣I just finished the first season last night.😭 Rarely do I ever love film over written words, but this is special. 6y

These two miniature #SchnauzersOfLitsy are tuckered out. I sat down my book for only a minute and Jenna has already claimed it. 😂 #Schnauzers #SuperbowlSunday #Football 🏈 #MeltMyHeart 💙 #Jenna & #Parker 💙 I am trying to stay awake to watch #ThisIsUs tonight after the game. Are any of you staying up to watch it?

Reviewsbylola Sweethearts. 😍😍 7y
S3V3N They are adorable. I had a miniature schnauzer growing up, her name was Brandy. Now I have a Yorki-Poo and Pom-Chi. 7y
Melissa_J So sweet 😍🐶 7y

Jennifer3 @Jess7 I want to stay up to watch it but I get up at 4:30 for work!!! 😲 7y
Jess7 I understand @Jennifer3 That sounds like a hard pass to me. Hopefully you can DVR it or catch it online later. I may not make it myself either. I hope to get up at 5 am or so to get some stuff done before going into work myself. 😴😴 (edited) 7y
Pamwurtzler I have the DVR set to record it - hopefully @kitty_reads & I can watch it tomorrow night! 7y
Jess7 I‘m not going to make it to watch it. Too tired. I‘m going to bed myself, but I will watch it tomorrow on my DVR too. @Pamwurtzler 7y
YouReadMyEyes I love your mini schnauzers 🧡 7y
Chasing_Pages I‘m watching now! 😢 7y
alisiakae I watched it this morning. 😭😭😭 7y
Jess7 I am going to watch it tonight after work. My husband stayed up and watched it last night, but I couldn‘t keep my eyes open any longer. But of course, I ended up laying in bed awake and didn‘t get to sleep as early as I wanted. Oh well Im excited to watch it tonight! @Chasing-Pages and @4thhouseontheleft 7y
Jess7 Thanks @Reviewsbylola @BeaG @Melissa_J and @YouReadMyEyes !! They melt my heart 💙 7y
DivineDiana Planning on watching tonight! 7y
Jess7 Aghh I just watched it 😭😭 and it‘s what I predicted based on the previous episodes this season. Such a beautiful show!! 🤗🤗 @DivineDiana @Chasing-Pages @Pamwurtzler @4thhouseontheleft and @Jennifer3 7y
Jennifer3 @Jess7 I went with watching tonight after my dinner. Last night I don‘t think I could have handled it! 7y
Pamwurtzler I haven‘t watched yet- I know it‘s going to be super sad. 😢 @DivineDiana @ChasingPages @4thhouseontheleft @Jennifer3 @Jess7 7y
Jennifer3 It was beautiful and has all the feels every week! 7y

I am completely fine taking a bath instead of watching the super bowl. I think Eleanor would agree. 😁
Hubby is very excited about ‘This is Us‘ afterward, but from the previews I‘m guessing it will be more emotionally taxing than usual! 💔

Reviewsbylola This is me right now too! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 7y
Jess7 I am trying really hard to stay awake to watch #ThisIsUs too! We love that show too! 7y
MatchlessMarie I love that your husband is into it. Such a great show! 7y

I had a pretty crappy morning yesterday. Usually, I indulge in books on crappy days, but even that wasn‘t appealing to me.

So I binged the 4 latest This Is Us episodes so I am caught up again!

And came across a reading list (link in comments) for #ThisIsUs fans. 😃😃😃

Not sure how a show that makes me cry during every episode lifted my mood, but it did! 🤔

And back to my book today, it‘s due back at the library tomorrow!

DivaDiane Katharsis! 7y
Betty Thanks for the reading list! I'm posting it on Facebook for my friends, also fans. 7y

OrangeMooseReads I love this show! It does somehow lift one‘s spirits. Thanks for the reading list I‘m sure I‘m going to be adding to my TBR 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I hope your day is better today!!! 💕 7y
cobwebmoth I hope the rest of your week is better! 7y
alisiakae @Kaye @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @cobwebmoth Thanks! It is better. Yesterday wasn‘t horrible, just your run of the mill crappy morning. 😃 An afternoon of lounging helped! 7y
ChelseaM6010 I LOVE This is us! I hope your day is better today 💖 thanks for the reading list! 😊 7y
JacqMac Sometimes a good cry makes everything better. Hope you‘re have a better day. 7y

I‘ve been reading this book so slow! Both of my sisters watch This Is Us so I decided to catch up to them. I just finished season one. A tad disappointed at the ending but they say it‘s good and I‘m invested already 🤷🏻‍♀️for the rest of the night I‘ll revisit these triplets 😆 just realized this triplets theme

Any This is Us fans here? I am mildly obsessed with the show. My mom just sent me this article, and I promptly added all ten books to my TBR (although 3 were already on there!). Even if you've never seen the show, lots of these recommended reads sound amazing!!! #thisisus #recommendedreading

Alfoster Love, love, LOVE that show!😍😍😍😍 8y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Thank you for posting this, saw the first couple of episodes at one of the director's mom's house...lol...I don't have cable or network TV... (edited) 8y
asiriusreader @Alfoster right?! It's such good television. Love the Pearson fam...even if they always make me cry!! 8y

asiriusreader @JanuarieTimewalker13 hah! That sounds like you know the right people to be able to watch the show then! 😉 8y
Alfoster Yes! I tape and watch when my husband goes to work so he doesn't see my ugly-crying😢😢! 8y
asiriusreader @Alfoster glad I'm not the only one who can't watch it with her husband! 😂 8y
Jhullie I watch with my mum every week. She's 78 and I'm 51, its appeal is timeless! 8y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @asiriusreader yes, I'll have to ask for a DVD after season 1...lol... my TV is a dumb terminal used exclusively for DVD use. Cable is a fortune! I'm very patient about waiting for things to go to DVD. Plus, I love reading!! Trust me, I was never a hit at the water cooler☺️ (edited) 8y
Lmstraubie I have so many friends who keep telling me to watch this!!! 8y
Suet624 Love it. 8y
CareBear Best show ever. Can you post the link? (am I just totally missing something?) 8y
asiriusreader @Jhullie I watch with my mom too! 😊👍🏻 8y
asiriusreader @Lmstraubie you should totally check it out. It is so good!! 8y
asiriusreader @JanuarieTimewalker13 hahaha. But at least you can always recommend a good book!! 8y
asiriusreader @Suet624 yay!! Fellow fan! 8y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @asiriusreader very true! Thank goodness my close friends like books!! Although I go around telling everyone about the books I love and most just humor me. It's ok, I try. Lol 8y
