Immediately thought of “squint,” and apparently it‘s a similar meaning 😀 Plus a cool architectural thingy. Enjoy ☺️☺️ #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

Not enough “wows” for this one - absolutely brilliant!! Read to familiarize myself with her work because Bear is a #CampLitsy24 choice - and @BarbaraBB loved it so I thought I might too ♥️ Beautifully written, and each story came together seamlessly. Learned a lot about a place I know nothing about. Best part was the ending, just incredible!

Hellllooooo friends! Here are the #readyourkindle numbers for May (I almost typed March 😂). Remember - even if you don‘t get to all of the drawn books, it‘s okay! If you‘re reading *any* ebooks, even if they aren‘t the drawn ones, it‘s okay! If you‘re behind (as I am), it‘s okay! 😀😘😅🤗 Have fun! #readyourebooks #readyournook

This was great! I could really relate to Frankie and Zeke - teenagehood was so dang hard! Misfits unite 👊🏻 👏🏻 #readyourkindle #tbrtarot #may #maleauthor

Hi friends! This is the last #TBRtarot card in the deck, BUT I‘ve made some of my own so I hope you‘re all game to continue 😊 Enjoy!

*Edited to add Sally as a bonus book, it was excellent!

Finally getting around to posting this! It‘s almost #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook time 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Let me know if you want to be added or removed from my tag list! Happy Tuesday friends!

You guys. HISTORY is being made over here. I have NEVER read my name in a book. EVER!!
Mind blown 🤯 👏🏻

I really liked this, but it took forever to read! I think I haven‘t been in the right headspace this past week and it‘s been difficult to focus 😵‍💫 This is definitely a book that requires concentration and less distraction - at least IMO. #readyourkindle #april 🐙

Oh, I took a deep-ish dive with this one and learned so much already! These are only the most common examples - enjoy! If anyone else wants to be tagged, let me know 🤓♥️ #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

This was SO good. Super dark, triggers abound, but I really rooted for Sally ♥️ Definitely a bit of a dark Eleanor Oliphant! @AmyG thanks for sending me Unraveling Oliver as I wouldn‘t have picked this one up if you hadn‘t! 😘 #readyourkindle

Thank you, Percival Everett, for introducing me to this word (and plenty of others, it was actually hard to choose 🤩). Here‘s a Wiki about fescennine verse - so interesting: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fescennine_Verses 🤓 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

Just finished this odd book and honestly, I really liked it. Confusing? Yes. Occasionally hard to follow? Yup. Brain bending? Oh yeah. But it came together and I found the ending more satisfying than others (I got the “good” ending though so that helped 😂). Percival Everett is just 🤯

YOU GUYSSSSS 🥹🥹🥹 Six years of Litsy ♥️♥️

Here are my choices! Thanks to you lovely ladies for hosting again ♥️ @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB @Megabooks #CampLitsy24

Well, Mr. Osman, you managed to make me laugh out loud multiple times with this one. What I didn‘t expect is that you‘d make me cry multiple times too! I‘m blown away by your tender care and obvious reverence for those who suffer from dementia (and those who care for them). Oh, and the murder mystery was spot on as usual ♥️😊 (side note - am seriously tempted to write Osman a letter, it touched me that much)

I‘d forgotten how much I enjoy Anna Quindlen‘s books (though I‘ve only read three including this one). I was completely swept into this story about a family struggling with the sudden loss of a wife and mother, and how they all dealt with that grief and trauma in different ways. Beautiful.

What day is it? It‘s #readyourkindle day! Here are the numbers - would love to see what y‘all will be reading 😊 Have fun! #readyourebooks #readyournook #spinnerthingyhasspoken

Holy ants on a log, Batman - that was banana pants 🫢😓😲😨 #readyourkindle

April is here (how is that possible 🤪😂), my friends! Behold, the #TBRtarot deck has spoken 😀 Have fun!

March favorite, without a doubt! #readingbracket2024 @CSeydel

What a gut punching, heartbreaking, mind boggling, beautiful, intense, and POWERFUL read. Thankful that I finally read this - it‘ll stay with me for a long time 💔

Happy Saturday, my peeps! Posting my #readyourkindle list since it‘s almost April (which is insane and mind boggling 🫠). If you want to be added or removed from the tag list, let me know! #readyourebooks #readyournook

Found in my current read (Demon Copperhead), where it‘s written as “sigoggling.” Used to describe a bunch of cars at a party, parked a bit haphazardly 😁
#weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

@Soubhiville you‘re just the sweetest ♥️ Thanks for sending this to me and of course I love the dachshund card ♥️♥️♥️ #litsylove #soubhirocks

Magpie Murders was excellent, but I think I loved this one even more! Atticus Pünd is a wonderful character and it was nice to get a bit more of his backstory. Horowitz really is a master - I didn‘t guess or suspect who did it or why at all. This was a chunk so it works for #TBRtarot (it‘s my “digital” shelf ?), plus #readyourkindle and #doublespin. Phew ?

So I‘m not fond of the smell of manure 😑, BUT I do love the smell of dirt, earth, and grass… *sigh* #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

I really enjoyed this! #readwithkindle #february

This was GREAT. I felt the atmosphere, the tension, the love, the uncertainty. Absolutely LOVED the ending. Thanks for putting this on my radar, @BarbaraBB 😘😊

Still riding on my mythology high after reading A Thousand Ships, apparently 😂😂 So here is my #weirdwordwednesday choice and even better, an article with examples of katabases (I believe that‘s the plural). Does anybody else want to slap Orpheus? Dude had one job and he screwed it up 🤦‍♀️😂🤔🤭🫣 https://www.thecollector.com/mortals-underworld-katabasis-greek-roman-mythology/

Friends! It‘s #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook day! I made it a bit easier on myself this time and used a spinner thingy 😊 Would love to see what you‘ll be reading this month! Enjoy and thanks for playing along with me 😊♥️ I‘ve been having issues with tags - please let me know if you don‘t get a notification 🙏🏻

Many of you know that I‘m a mythology fanatic. So WHY did it take me so long to read this fan-friggin-tastic book? I have no excuse 🫣 Like many of you who‘ve read this, I especially loved Penelope‘s letters - I always wanted to hear more about her and how she actually felt. These women are so often footnotes and here, they‘re front and center. LOVED it. #readyourkindle #february

Denise, what an absolutely wonderful surprise - this was so thoughtful and kind and made me tear up a little ♥️ The illustrations are just AMAZING. Thank you for such a beautiful gift!! Here‘s to instant ice cream 🍦♥️😊 @dabbe #litsylove

Ooo y‘all, I drew a doozy 😳😂 We can do this!! Good luck and have fun!! Please let me know if you‘d like to be added/removed from the tag list! #TBRtarot #March

My February favorite (also tagged)! #readingbracket2024 @CSeydel

#readyourkindle draw coming up on March 5! Get those lists ready! I have a big tag list and have gotten great participation so far, but if some of you would like to be removed (or added of course) to my tag list, please do let me know. Here‘s my list! #readyourebooks #readyournook

Chugging along 😂😂😂 slowly 🤪 @TheAromaofBooks #bookspin #doublespin

A favorite poem and word 😊 @vivastory I know you love this one too 😁 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

Holy banana pants 😳😳😳 You were right, Scott - this was SO dark and twisted, and I LOVED it 🫢🫢🫢😂😂😂 @vivastory

So thankful to Julie @RebelReader for putting this on her #ALSpine list, as it gave me the push I needed to finally read it! Loved this story about Lakshmi and her family, both blood and found. I‘ve always been fascinated by the art of henna and appreciated the glossary (and recipes!) at the end.
#readyourkindle #doublespin #auldlangspine

Let me once again take the opportunity to RAVE about this book (O Caledonia) - I‘ve been thinking about it ever since I finished. Sigh… also, the other weird word in the paragraph is “demesne” which is another word for “domain” 😊 And Hector was tipsy 😂😂 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

I think I liked Every Last Fear a bit better, but this was a solid thriller 👏🏻👏🏻 I didn‘t see the twist at the end at all 😅😳🫢

EDIT - now it‘s working? 😂🤷‍♀️ Anyone else having issues with the app not loading? I‘m on iPhone. I can view on the web but not the app 🙁

This will be a favorite of the year, without a doubt. The writing is absolutely gorgeous, the setting was a character in itself (the kind where you can almost feel it whilst reading), and Janet…..poor Janet. I loved her, could relate to her in certain ways, even rooted for her despite knowing the outcome. What a book. #blameitonlitsy

I love unique color words. Enjoy!

Now this is the Riley Sager I LOVE. His earlier stuff is definitely my favorite - this was no exception. Loved it! #readyourkindle #18

I‘ve seen mixed reviews for this one, but I really enjoyed it! Maybe it‘s because I‘m currently binging Succession 😂 The Plumb family is MUCH less toxic than the Roy family, though 😬 Another #dysfunctionalfamilyfiction win and it‘s my #TBRtarot choice for February (author‘s first name starts with C).

I love this word and never knew this was what it meant! I also love looking at old advertisements - makes me nostalgic for when things were (maybe) simpler? Not that I‘m old enough to have played with a zoetrope…..but I digress. Enjoy 😂🤪 #weirdwords #weirdwordswednesday

My #readyourkindle choices for February 😊 #readyourebooks #readyournook

Monday is a good day because it‘s #readyourkindle day 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I did an old fashioned number draw - with expert help from my oldest kiddo 😊
I‘d love to see which books you all end up with! Have fun! #readyourebooks #readyournook
