Farewell Alaska…. Hello British Columbia 🛳️

To celebrate our 14th anniversary of successful living organ donation, my friend sent me this adorable pocketbook (I sound like my Nanna 👵🏼). Y‘all are the only people who would understand why I squealed in delight 🥰

Finished ✅ I kind of anticipated the ending….

Completed from my TBR Bookshelf.

Friends!! I may be behind on my pal mail but THIS is not on me! Someone tried to eat Danielle‘s letter because they didn‘t get a lunch break! I know the post offices are short-staffed but let the workers eat!! World be crazy.

Quick, Predictable, and not an accurate description of an adolescent psychiatric floor (at least not one I worked on).

The best Jo Nesbo book I‘ve read so far!

🤷🏻‍♀️What is wrong with you?

“ In disasters, in war, it isn‘t governments that help people, at least not early on. It‘s individuals: policeman, doctors, strangers, people who stand up when others sit down.” -Anderson Cooper

While reading about the nurses who served and how they weren‘t seen afterwards was worth the read, I anticipated everything that happened.

Dragged on a bit but made me want to pull out my middle school journals and look back … but definitely not go back … to that long ago time 🫣

Misty!!! What an amazing box of Happy to return home to after a looong week!! I adore everything so much and I can‘t tell you how much I‘m looking forward to reading “The Women!!!” Thank you for being the sweetest man ever, wonderful Friend that you are! Love you!

Love a book I can get lost in.

Meh. Not what I‘d refer to as “a shocking” story, but sad for the little one nonetheless.

This book was such a gem to read. Thank you @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks for another touch-me-in-the-heart reads 🫶🏻📖💛 #Litsylove

Fun, quick read. She had me laughing out loud a few times.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎

Walter Isaacson is a fantastic writer. He can make reading about an unlikable human an easy, smooth, and informative experience. He can‘t make me like the dude though.

This took way longer to read than it should have. Disappointing read until last 50-ish pages. Don‘t think I‘ll be reading the rest of the series unless I hear some REALLY great things about it from y‘all 🫤

💛 My littlest sis turned 37 this week.
💛Sent War Paws more stamp donations from my generous penpals.
💛Breadsticks 🤤
💛Snuck in some reading at work.
💛 Didn‘t punch anyone this week (yay for coping skills!! Go me!!)

Shhhhhh….. clients who cancel = books getting read! I‘m working… working on my TBR shelves 📚📚📚

Saw him being interviewed a year ago and was intrigued by what he had to say. His book…. Not so much. Was a tad disappointed. Expected more.

I really like Bob Woodward‘s style of writing.
He couldn‘t have said it better: “The failure to organize. The lack of discipline. The undermining or the attempted undermining of so many American institutions. The unwillingness to acknowledge error. When his performance as president is taken in its entirety, I can only reach one conclusion: Trump is the wrong man for the job.”

Insomnia worked in my favor last night and finished this interesting, chapter-less book. 📖

Building up my little free library for any of my interested kids and teens. Gorgeous illustrations!

Just completed my first book for #Sharreadathon. I read this in high school but didn‘t remember much of it. As usual, I got so much more out of it as an adult.

As stated by Activist Andrea Ayvazian: “ About being an ally, a positive role model… It enhanced my positive feelings about the difference each individual (ME!) can make. I don‘t need to feel helpless when there is so much I can do. I still can see how easily things can back up and start getting depressing but I can also see how it is possible to keep going strong and powerful.” @TheBookHippie - I stand with you, support U & move forward with you
