I love how Tennyson describes the flow of water in a creek and the feel of endless time in this poem.

1. Tagged. This one pulled at my heart strings. You also have to read Keeping 13 because it is a continuation of the story.
2. Not yet. However, I might DNF " The Familiar ". I can't get into it, and I don't care about the MC.

I enjoyed this book but it was hard to get invested in. I tried reading the physical book and couldn't. I ended up with the audiobook and liked it better. 3.5 🌟 #Read2025 @DieAReader

Saw this today and isn't it the truth.

Happy tax day for those in the U.S.! If you are not in the U. S. feel free to talk about when you do file your taxes. Have a great day!

💸 My tax return is complex; therefore, I pay a CPA firm that specializes in tax to prepare and file mine. I believe they filed mine yesterday.

Currently in New Port, Rhode Island. It is one of the few states I have not been to. Hope to make all 50 before I die.

This is book three in the series and a continuation of Henry and Abbi's story. I enjoyed seeing Abbi come into her own. The plot was good and I liked that this book ended more organically than the first two. 4 🌟

So I took the quiz to see what kind of reader I am and my results show me as a yellow reader. A yellow reader is "drawn to books that stir their heart and evoke intense feelings." See the link below if you want to take the test.

There were so many good movies on this list. Way too many to narrow done to just two. BTW, a number of these I read the book also.
❤️🎬

This book is a continuation of Henry and Abbi's story. This is book 2 and they need to be read in order. I'm totally invested with the characters; yet, I can't say I agree with all their actions. Henry is too arrogant and Abbi too immature for my taste. Despite this, I am enjoying these books. A testament to the prose. 4🌟

Who knew!?! 😆🗡

This book is the first in a series about a rich playboy, who is set to inherit a hotel chain, and a nieve young woman who knocks him off his feet. At first, I struggled to get into the story. I was not a fan of Abbi at first. Yet she grew on me as her character developed and become more independent. I didn't like that this ended in such a huge cliffhanger. Thank goodness that the series is complete or I would be grinding my teeth.

I throughly enjoyed reading this collection of Dickinson poems. I liked how she made ordinary things sound extraordinary. Highly recommend even if you are not a lover of poetry.
I finished this in March and forgot to post my review. My bad for running behind.

Happy Tuesday! Here are today's #Two4Tuesday questions. I asked this question several years ago; however, there are so many new Littens since then I thought it would be fun to ask again. All are welcome to play.

My answers:
📚 I'm most definitely a bibliophile. I would have even more physical books, but I am out of room..
📚 Tagged. I also thought Hermione from Harry Potter is an excellent choice.
