A nice evening to start my #Bookspin out-of-doors 📖
pickI really enjoyed this series of novellas about Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. These women were strong of faith and character and stood fast in their convictions when many around them were filled with doubt (about everything not just their belief in God). Ruth's story was my favorite.
There was a lot of bible study at the end of each story that I skipped. But as a historical fiction read--Worthy! I learned a lot.

My first order from Bookshop.org through a new local indie bookstore that I haven't been able to get to bc life and all 😣
I don't remember who it was that recently mentioned Bookshop.org but thank you; my second order is due to arrive on June 3rd 😁

My results for #TLT 70s movies
Funny thing - I read a lot of these books 😆
My three favorites are:
1. Grease
2. Star Wars
3. The Muppet Movie
pickOut of 12 short stories only 2 were like 'O kayyyyyy and?' My favorites: Two Talented Bastids, and The Answer Man
I enjoyed the rest, but for some reason I did not find myself compelled to pick up this book. Haven't felt that way about SK since Fairy Tale 😕

The Mr.'s building a new "dining room" to go with the new outdoor reading spot ? (the whole backyard is a work in progress so ignore the yuck)

Back to my #BookedInTime read. Picking up where I left off with Ruth's story.
And yay! The weather is finally cooperating for reading in my new outdoor space ☀️😎
so-soWeird, rambling road-trip thoughts about life, love, and dead rock stars. Some were interesting, most were boring; but it's another X on my #BookspinBingo board.

bailedMore like DES-Didn't Even Start. 4 pages in and nope, not for me.

Read 2 of the 5 novellas in Lineage. Tamar's story was quite good and compelling, but Rahab's story was hella repetitive, and she kind of reminded me of Lydia from Welcome to Plathville #iykyk However, learning how the Israelites brought down the wall of Jericho was quite interesting.
So time for a break. Moving on to this month's #Bookspin

My outdoor reading and relaxing is finally complete!! And of course it has stormed every day since I tightened the last screw 🤷🏻♀️😆
Thanks for the tag @Eggs
1. Getting my first library card when I was 5 or 6 yrs.
2. The library book store and semi-annual book sale, thrift stores, and little free libraries.
3. A Line of Grace for the #BookedInTime reading challenge
#WondrousWednesday
Starting this for May #BookedInTime biblical fiction
Since it's 5 novellas I'm not sure if I'm going to read it straight through or break it up with some other reading 🤷🏻♀️
so-soI liked the 80s nostalgia of Westchester County, where I grew up. As for the story itself, eh, it was alright and not as compelling as I thought it would be. I hate going into books with high expectations 😕

📖 I'm not a big mystery reader, but when a giant dome appears over a town people want to know where the hell it came from.
🍳At home I'm a scrambled eggs on toast kind of gal. But at a restaurant/diner it's always poached! 😋

Didn't do so great on the coming of age stories 🤦🏻♀️
But, I have to admit, there was a good portion of titles I never even heard of.
