I saw these 2 birds in the butterfly center at the museum on Friday and I wanted to write a haiku about them.

Beautiful birds hanging out together
Are they friends or boyfriend and girlfriend?
Either way, they‘re so cute

The butterfly center made me feel like we were actually in a rainforest
The temperature in the room was hot, tropical plants
were everywhere and there were waterfalls too
Butterflies flying everywhere

I was at the museum on July 11 (the day this tagged book was released) and I‘m not done reading it yet. I‘m enjoying it though. There was one night when I didn‘t read any of this book at all because I was watching Facebook Reels all night and I‘m not going to read any of it tonight because I was at the museum today. Maybe I will tomorrow after having a good night‘s sleep tonight.

I saw these 2 starfish lying like this together at the museum today and I wanted to write a haiku about it.

2 starfish lying on top of each other
Are they boyfriend and girlfriend forever or just one night only?
Do animals know how to have one night stands?

I haven‘t had sex and I don‘t plan to
My ex bf wanted to have sex with me at the movie theater. Nothing happened. I said no and he got mad at me
My body, my choice

Here‘s some pictures today from the museum I went to today with my mom and my brother. The first picture is 2 star fish from the Extreme Animals Alive! exhibit. The 2 birds and the butterflies are from the butterfly center at the museum today. I‘ve never seen these type of birds before. They are so pretty. I wonder why the star fish are lying on top of each other. Maybe they‘re boyfriend & girlfriend. Are they bf & gf forever or just for 1 night?

I was at the tagged location today and I wanted to share how my day was.

Amazon has Prime Day going on this week and Audible has a Prime Day sale on audiobooks. I wanted to write a haiku to Amazon.

Amazon
I‘m not impressed with your Prime Day deals this week
I didn‘t see anything that I wanted to buy

I looked at your Audible Prime Day books too
I‘m not impressed with your selection on there either
I‘d be more impressed if my books on my Audible wishlist were on sale

I just found out that Bon Scott and I share a birthday. His birthday was July 9, 1946 and my birthday is July 9, 1990. He died when he was 33 years old. I turned 35 today. How old would he be if he was still alive? He would probably be older than me. I wasn‘t even born yet when he died.

Today is my birthday. I wanted to write a haiku about it. I don‘t know what kind of haiku this is because it doesn‘t just have 3 lines. I couldn‘t just stick to 3 lines but I thought it was interesting finding out who I share a birthday with. I just found out Dean Koontz and I share a birthday. He said today on Facebook that it‘s his birthday and I commented on his post,”Happy birthday! Today is my birthday too.”

Today is my birthday and I just found out Barnes & Noble has a preorder sale going on this week so I preordered some books. It‘s a lot of books but they won‘t charge until they‘re shipped to my house or sent to my phone. I‘m glad I found out about this or I would‘ve missed out on it.

Penguin Random House sent me this email with a discount code for my birthday so I bought some new bookmarks. I have a gallon size zip lock bag full of bookmarks but I don‘t buy bookmarks that often. I didn‘t really see anything else on their website that I liked besides the bookmarks.

This is my birthday week so I decided to do an oracle card reading from my Unicorn deck and a happy birthday tarot spread I found online and I wrote my readings down in my journal. It was recommended online that if you‘re reading cards to write down your readings so I‘ve been doing that. I have tarot cards with keywords on them and it‘s been helpful for me as a beginner. I‘ve never done a birthday reading on myself before. This was really cool.

Today is my birthday so this author I‘m friends with on Facebook sent me this birthday message and gave me a discount code for her books so I bought the bundle of books that‘s shown here. I got it for a good price too and it‘s a great way for me to try her books out.

Fable just added a new feature and this was my response in the comments. It happened to me on Facebook the other day too. A guy I was friends with on Facebook sent me a message on Facebook messenger where he said,”Hi, how are you and are you single?” I saw that he sent me the message on Monday night but I didn‘t see it until last night. I didn‘t respond. I just unfriended him. He wasn‘t cute either and he‘s only friends with females on there.

I have 4 ARCs I‘m going to be reading this month so far. I‘m excited to read all of these.

Wrangled Love -Ann Einerson. A single dad & nanny cowboy romance I‘m currently reading.
The Sleepover - Daisy Jane. A stepbrother/stepsister romance
Trick Play - L.A. Shaw. A stepbrother/stepsister hockey romance with cowboy/cowgirl vibes
Bleacher Report - Kenna King. A hockey romance between strangers with a fake dating trope

I saw this picture on Facebook and thought it was cute so I wanted to write a haiku about it.

Bambi and a baby bunny
They look like best friends
This is so cute

#haiku #haikuhive

I colored this picture and my haiku is inspired by it.

Too many books, not enough time
I‘m always wishing I had more time to read
There‘s still so many books I haven‘t read

I keep telling myself
Reading is not a race
I can read at my own pace

If I can only read 6 books a month or less
That‘s okay as long as I like them
How do people read so much?

TheSpineView was the book club leader of the Litsy Sci Fi Book Club and KateReadsYA was the book club leader for the Whimsical Reads Book Club.

The book clubs I used to be in on Litsy are no longer active but at least I found some book clubs to join on Fable.

Yay! I was approved for another ARC from Chasing Books PR. The synopsis says the name of the guy that the book is following but it doesn‘t say who the girl is. I guess I‘ll find out when I read it but I do know that it‘s a hockey romance and I enjoyed the first book in this series.

I put out bird food and mealworms for the birds and I put out peanuts for the squirrels on Saturday. I don‘t feed the birds and squirrels every day. I saw a squirrel burying the peanuts in the front yard outside my bedroom window so I wanted to write a haiku about it.

A squirrel burying peanuts in the front yard
How does he remember where his nuts are?
I hope he‘ll remember where they are when Winter comes

#haiku #haikuhive

Yay! I was approved for this ARC from The Smuthood PR. The Sleepover by Daisy Jane is not on Litsy so I‘ll be tagging it under Super Smutty Sign Language.

I got this email today from Goodreads. I think my Goodreads account is linked to my Amazon account but I don‘t know for sure because I haven‘t looked in a while. If I can‘t find one of the books to read through Libby then I could use this feature.

I live in Houston, TX. When I was 15 years old, I went camping with my family in Kerrville, TX and one of the areas we went to was the Guadalupe River. I heard about the flooding in Central Texas on the news and it makes me sad. I‘ve been thinking about Central Texas a lot so I wanted to dedicate this haiku to Central Texas.

Central Texas
My thoughts and prayers are with y‘all
May every missing person be found

I was looking on Spotify and found this playlist. It‘s perfect for today. I have 2 family members who served in the military. My mom‘s dad (who would‘ve been my brother and I‘s grandpa but we never got to meet him) served in the Navy. My grandpa (my mom‘s stepdad) served in the Marine Corps. Both grandpas have passed away. My mom lost her dad when she was 11 years old. I‘m listening to this playlist and I like it.

I like patriotic songs. 🇺🇸

2. Party In The USA - Miley Cyrus
3. Chicken Fried - Zac Brown Band
4. God Bless The USA - Lee Greenwood
5. Firework - Katy Perry

Today‘s haiku is inspired by this July 4th special I‘ll be watching on TV tonight. It‘s held downtown outside every year. It has fireworks and music performances. My mom and I don‘t go to it in person though. We like watching it on TV because we can sit in the AC and go to our own bathrooms. It‘s too hot to be outside.

Freedom Over Texas
July 4th television special
My favorite thing to watch every July 4th

I just started this book. I only read the first chapter but I like it so far.

Here‘s my review for this book I just finished reading. This is June‘s short story for the #christiescapers buddy read.

I‘ve received my ARC for the tagged book from The Smuthood PR. The deadline to turn in my review to The Smuthood PR is on or before July 18th. After I write my review for The Secret Of Chimneys by Agatha Christie and post it online then I need to start this book next. I‘m going to be reading on my Kindle this month but I have to take breaks. Last month, I had to stop reading because my eyes were hurting after reading for 3 hours with no breaks.

I downloaded this book tonight from Chasing Books PR as well as the book Wrangled Love by Ann Einerson that was sent to me from The Smuthood PR. This one doesn‘t have to be read or reviewed right now. They have the ARC of book 2 right now but I‘m not signing up. I‘m going to be reading 2 ARCs this month and I don‘t know what else I‘ll be accepted for because I signed up for ARCs from Chasing Books PR and The Smuthood PR.

Yay! I just got approved for this ARC. I‘m excited about this book because of the couple this book is following. Now, I have 2 ARCs to read. I‘ll be getting one from The Smuthood PR and I‘ll be getting this one from Chasing Books PR the day before my birthday. Trick Play by LA Shaw is not on Litsy so I‘ll be posting my review under the tagged book by Eden Finley.

Today‘s haiku is inspired by this information I just saw on Facebook about Dolphins.

Dolphins get high off of Pufferfish
How did they know to do this?
I thought animals didn‘t know how to get high

Here‘s my July #readyourkindle picks. #10 is one of the books from the #naturalitsy buddy read. I‘m hoping to read 3 of the books from the reading list this month and maybe read the July book if I have time. I‘m trying to catch up with the buddy read. The last 3 picks are Kindle Unlimited prompts. I have 20 books checked out on there right now to read. 20 is the limit you can check out but I haven‘t had time to read them.

Here‘s my progress on #30booksin3months. I completed the first row. It‘s interesting that I started and finished the first row with Agatha Christie books. I just finished the Agatha Christie story from June.

Here‘s my July #readyourkindle list.

These are my July #roll100 picks. #64 is the June #LSFBC pick that I didn‘t get around to reading. #84 is the next book I‘ll be reading for #naturalitsy. I‘m working on catching up with the buddy read. #46 is the next short story I‘m reading this month for the #christiescapers buddy read.

Here‘s my July #bookspinbingo board. My theme for my bingo board is July 4th so I chose a July 4th background.

Here‘s my #bookspinbingo July picks. My #bookspin is the short story we‘re reading for #christiescapers this month. My #doublespin is the July book for #naturalitsy. I don‘t know if I‘ll get around to reading it because I‘m still behind on the #naturalitsy buddy read.

Here‘s my #bookspinbingo list for July. July is my birthday month. July 9th is my birthday. I‘ll be turning 35.

This is the leader of the #whimsicalreadsbookclub. Did she block me? I went to her profile to see if I can find out what we‘re reading this month and this is what I saw when I went to her profile. What did I do? All I wanted was to participate in the book club. If she wanted me to leave then she should‘ve told me what I did wrong and then removed me. Does it have to do with my review I wrote for When The Tides Held The Moon? This is so hurtful.

Yay! I was approved for this ARC from The Smuthood PR this month.

I‘m tagging today‘s haiku under this book I read about Capybaras. I saw this picture of a Capybara and a Cat on Facebook and I wanted to write a haiku about it.

A Capybara and a Cat
They look like they‘re best friends
Very different animals but it‘s so cute to see this

I had a bad dream last night but it felt real. My ex boyfriend Tanner appeared in my dream last night and we talked. This is how our conversation went. I woke up with my heart racing after this. I was typing out all of this dialogue today from last night‘s dream that I had and my hand started shaking. This is the hand that has the hand tremor. My hand is still shaking.

#whatsnewwednesday

I made more progress in this book tonight. I have 2 hours and 39 minutes left. This is June‘s story.

#christiescapers

Since I started participating in the #noplacelikeholmes and #christiescapers buddy reads, I realized that I like classic murder mysteries. They don‘t have any sex or blood or bad language. The characters are just solving a murder. I find it very refreshing from other mysteries and thrillers I‘ve read before. I read 1 Nancy Drew book a long time ago called “The Hidden Staircase” and I enjoyed it.

This is a picture of David Muir. Today‘s haiku is inspired by him. I like watching ABC World News With David Muir on TV. He always ends his show with a feel-good story at the end so you‘re left feeling like there‘s at least some hope in the world. He wasn‘t on last Friday night and I said to my mom,”David isn‘t on. Where is he?”

David Muir
My favorite ABC World News anchor
I watch him every night from 5:30-6:00 PM CST

Here‘s how I did on my June #roll100 picks. I read 2 out of 3 book club books. The only one I didn‘t get to read was the book for the #LSFBC and I wanted to read it. I just didn‘t have time but I want to read it in July.

Here‘s how I did on my #bookspinbingo board.
