Thanks to the amazing people who get the BOTM spoilers! #notallheroeswearcapes
I‘m sooo excited about this book!! Her previous novel The Invisible Bridge is one of my top 10 of all time.

Boyfriend came home and saw me fading fast, so he decided that I needed a change of scenery. He packed me up into the car and brought me to the bookstore! 😍😍😍 #notallheroeswearcapes #readathon #deweysapril

emilyhaldi I‘m sorry for your tears BUT lol‘ing about this book situation 😂😂 your hubby MUST be used to this by now, no??? 6y

Annl Agree sorry for your tears, but that picture in my mind of 37 books is hilarious! 6y

Cinfhen You would think @emilyhaldi 😜😜😜 thanks @Simona 😘😘 6y

Cinfhen That carry-on weighs 44 pounds @Annl 😳I think weight limit is 15 🤪 6y

ValerieAndBooks Safe travels!! 📚💪 !! It was so good seeing you at the meet up while you were here 💖 6y

BarbaraBB 37 books! My bf would go crazy! I have the same discussion each year about this; he says I should get a Kindle and I keep saying no way. And then he tells me the exact extra weight due to my books... so tiring 😂😂 6y

GripLitGrl Safe travels! 37 books that's quite a haul. 6y

TheSpineView Travel safe.✈ FYI security will open your carry on and thumb through each book. Happened to me before. The TSA screener said it is because of the density. 🤪 6y

Kalalalatja I‘m sorry you are sad ❤️ but you are also kind of my hero - 37 books! 😱 and like @emilyhaldi said, I can‘t understand hubby isn‘t used to it yet 😄 6y

Cinfhen Oh no! That would be a nightmare @TheSpineView I‘ll never get the books back in...it was like Jenga trying to get the books to fit @GripLitGrl @Kalalalatja 6y

Cinfhen Men are SUPER ANNOYING @BarbaraBB but they are useful for lugging bags & books 📚 💼 6y

Cinfhen Thanks @ValerieAndBooks it was so nice to see u as well ❣️❣️❣️ 6y

Leftcoastzen Travel safe! Hope to get to one of those back east meet ups one day! At least you have something to read.😁📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚 6y

batsy Safe travels 💜 I have faith in you finding a way to fit all those books!! 🙌🏽 #notallheroeswearcapes 6y

robinb Safe travels (for you AND your treasures!) 😊 6y

Cathythoughts Safe trip & I see an apple in the picture too 🍎👍🏻... healthy stuff. Sorry, Goodbyes are awfully hard. Looking forward to having back on our side of the world again ❤️ 6y

MicheleinPhilly I‘m sorry you‘re leaving but this made me 😂. Great to see you again! 😘😘😘 6y

alisiakae There is no weight limit for carry on bags, as long as you can fit it in an appropriately-sized bag! 😃😍 Safe travels! 6y

Cinfhen Nope!!! NOT TRUE anymore at least on international flights... they will randomly weigh your carry on & then they will gleefully charge u $100 as an extra piece of luggage @4thhouseontheleft 🤬I speak from experience😬 6y

Cinfhen I know @MicheleinPhilly 😪😪it‘s time to plan a new trip 6y

Cinfhen Thanks so much @Cathythoughts I‘m looking forward to jumping back into your time zone 😍 6y

Cinfhen That would be awesome @Leftcoastzen and yes I‘ve GOT plenty of reading material to keep me company @robinb @batsy 🤓 6y

LeahBergen Try to make your carry on look weightless when you walk up to check in (and then slump and groan when you‘re out of sight). I speak from experience. 😂 6y

KarenUK Travel safe 😘😘 6y

TrishB Safe travels and book carrying ❤️ see you back in our time zone 😘 x 6y

Cinfhen Thanks @KarenUK @TrishB and sound advise @LeahBergen 🤞🏼🤞🏼 6y

alisiakae Wow, I have never had that happen on an international flight, and we PACK our carry-ons, since we try to never have to check a bag! Maybe Charlotte is just a more lax airport? 6y

alisiakae Just checked TSA, it varies by airline. Remind me not to fly your airline (what is it?) 😜 we almost always fly American, since we live by their hub. 6y

Cinfhen Ah that explains the horrible mystery!! I‘ve been flying Alitalia my last few oversea flights!!! American stopped flying out of Tel-Aviv 😢😢 @4thhouseontheleft (edited) 6y

ElishaLovesBooks I am loving this-hope you and the books made it home safe!! I have the worst luck with these things- when I was flying back from NY I was the only one of my friends that had to check my carry-on! Because it looked so stuffed! 6y

Cinfhen Ha!! We outsmarted Alitalia @ElishaLovesBooks got all the books home in that carry-on without any fees!!!! 6y

ElishaLovesBooks @Cinfhen Way to go!! I am very impressed!! 6y

GlassAsDiamonds 😱😱😱😱 I missed this!! (Notifications we‘re off..? Litsy having issues?). How on earth do you make it with soft bags??? (Squish down duffles are my emergency over bags only 😂😂😂) So glad you managed to get them all home!!!! QANTAS has a nasty habit of weighing but if the attendant is feeling nice, just make you pay for a plastic bag to get each under the weight limit... (& apples - My Australian brain is screaming 😂😊😂) 6y

GlassAsDiamonds @LeahBergen me too 😂😂😂😂😂 (of course once I then got caught traveling alone and unable to lift the damned thing over my short head into the overhead lockers...! Poor girl in the isle seat had to help & I could see her thinking “this bag is going to kill me if that locker opens in flight”...🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️). 6y

LeahBergen @GlassAsDiamonds 😂😂 Exactly! I‘m too short (and feeble!) to lift a bursting carry-on over my head on large airplanes. 6y

Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House | Michael Wolff

I know that I'm going to regret this later, but I can't help myself.
I feel like reading it and cropping out his picture are my contributions to the resistance today.

My PSA for today? Do not leave your house! Shopping is a very, very bad idea. #WhatWasIThinking?

Julsmarshall I dig the big grocery shop and now I‘m staying put! 7y

CocoReads I had to go to the store for 1 thing, which turned into 6 things and $70 later plus a seemingly endless wait in line-I‘m really not going back until Tuesday at the earliest and most likely not til wednesday 7y

Amanda.T I‘m heading into the mall right now. 😱 #suicidemission 7y

goodbyefrancie @Amanda.T Be brave! #saveyourself! 7y

goodbyefrancie @TheBookHippie @Bianca @bookish22 @shanebeth @Julsmarshall @CocoReads It's definitely not for the weak! #NotAllHeroesWearCapes 😉 7y

goodbyefrancie @Shannon_McKinney wear armor! Take a shield! Be brave! 7y

Shannon_McKinney @goodbyefrancie I have officially finished shopping, and survived. Whew, this time of year really brings out the worst in people. 😳 Now I must become a hermit, and wrap gifts. Then I‘ll hopefully get to read tonight. #survivor 7y
