Good morning, Littens! I'm alive in case anyone was worried. 😘

I have been knitting a lot and only reading tiny bit of Anna Karenina everyday. I hope you are all well. Hopefully I'll get back into the swing of Litsy things soon.

P.s. @JenlovesJT47 I haven't forgotten you! I'm so sorry for your wait. I hope you and Jace are well! 😍

I finished my first #Freakyfriday pick! Thank you for recommending it @prettybooknerd ! Yoon always gets me with the last third of the book. The first two thirds feel stereotypical (not bad), but then it becomes something else that is beautiful and surprising.

I have given in to the peer pressure from my Litsy bestie, @Ashley_Nicoletto ! I will be attempting to read #25inFive! My TBR is pretty much my April TBR, but I may need to add another Scribd audiobook to the mix!

I picked up a couple night ref desk hours for one of my co-workers hoping I can get a bit of reading and knitting in!

I don't usually do TBRs but this month I'm feeling frisky! With it being time for #freakyfriday, #annainapril, and just having a couple of good books on the go - I am feeling motivated! Let's see how it goes! 🤞

@prettybooknerd
@nerdybookgirl

I'm planning on reading #annainapril with @nerdybookgirl but knitting has definitely been ruling my free time. We will see how it goes!

OMG! @JenlovesJT47 !!!! This is the best and perfect! Thank you so much for the thoughtful gift! 💖😍
#LitsyPenPals

I was just about to take a bath when I remembered I hadn't checked the mail! Lo and behold! My wonderful #LitsyPenPal @JenlovesJT47 package had arrived! I will share the goodies soon. Now I have to decide if I open it before or after the bath!

Because it would be weird to open it in the bath??? 🤔
Tempted! I'll keep you posted!

I'm in denial about the weekend being over.

Despite not finishing a non-audiobook in weeks, I couldn't resist picking this book up at my little local public library!

One day I'll finish a book, but in the meantime I'll start new ones! 💕☕📚

I'm determined to end my weekend with a bath, a glass of wine, and at least thirty minutes of reading. Hope you had a good weekend littens!

🛀🍷📚💕

Trying to squeeze in a pinch of reading while I cook some Blue Apron! 🍷

Since I haven't been reading (with my eyeballs) much lately, starting a new book is a good idea, right?

Thank goodness for audiobooks. When I'm busy or feel stressed I find it hard to focus in reading with my eyeballs. I'm doing some morning #audioknitting of this great true crime book.

#knittersoflitsy

Congratulations to @Jess7 for hitting such a seven-tastic Litsy milestone! #77777Giveaway !
💖❤💙💚💛💜🖤

I have my #FreakyFriday list! These are the picks I haven't read. I'm excited about the two left books! Nervous about two on the right, zombies can freak me out! But I'm going to request them via interlibrary loan and give them a shot! Thanks for the list, @prettybooknerd ! And for the match @Clwojick and @monalyisha ! 😘

I'm going to start this #yearofthechunkster book in the bath this morning! Can we please talk about how awesome this looks without the dust jacket?

Someone made some impulsive purchases after work tonight. 🙋‍♀️🙌

Struggling to get out of bed on this lazy Sunday. I HAVE to get up and make some coffee after this chapter. Have to.

Anyone else having a lazy-stay-in-bed Sunday?

I'm so excited that I found this on Scribd! I've been wanting to read or listen to this since I first heard about it!

#audioknitting

I started another fair isle project! I'm hoping to finish the tagged book this weekend while working on this!

#knittersoflitsy

1. Kindred by Octavia Butler!
2. Four, I think?
3. 🐜
4. Biscuits and gravy AND cereal! I was hungry!
5.🖐 Will do!

#friyayintro @jesshowbooks

I have these books on the go and I can't decide which one to read now. #indecisive

Lovely littens, help me decide?!

I impulsively started listening to this on my free trial on the new and improved Scribd (not an ad) but I have this great edition hardback edition from my bestie @lacythebookworm that I might dip into. This book is so up my alley right now.

#booksandbooze

I'm having a massive book hangover after reading Kindred by Octavia Butler. I'm hoping this book will help.

Think it will work?

I just signed up to participate in #FreakyFriday! It's being hosted by @Clwojick and @monalyisha , you fill out a form with your fave reads and they match you up with someone to "switch places" with Freaky Friday style! You read some of their faves, they read some of yours! It is open until Friday, so go sign up!

I should go walk at the gym but it's raining and my couch is so cozy. Let's see what happens.

1. Birthday lunch on Saturday for my mom in law and one of my Sunday work shifts at the library.
2. 5'1"
3. Wow. I think we've lived in this home for six years.
4. The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer & the IDW Ninja Turtles graphic novel collection that my husband recommended.
5. No problem! I LOVE selfies. I haven't been taking as many recently but here's one!

Can I just stay here please? I'm cuddling my sleeping partner to the sound of rain and pug snores.

I've been totally slacking on my #yearofthechunkster goal. Fortunately this book has been on my TBR for ages. It's one of those books that I'm sure I will love and have been putting it off for that reason. Anyone else do that?

Despite how long it took me to read, Kindred pulled me in from the first few pages. I thought of this book in nearly every space between readings.

@Tamra I finished it!

This book is so good! But I've been reading it so slowly! Why must I be unable to knit and read a physical book at the same time!

I'm about to drop my first letter to my #LitsyPenPal in the mail! Sorry for the delay @JenlovesJT47 ! 😘

We went on a date to see Black Panther (it was amazing!!!) and of course we had to stop at the Books a Million. 💕📚

@Lacythebookworm got these CUTE Lumberjanes novels signed for me at ALA Midwinter!

Look at these adorable books @lacythebookworm got me from ALA Midwinter! And they are signed! Super cute doodles and signature photos coming soon!

The campus I work at is hosting an African American Read In event today! I've been savoring this read so I could read it at this event.

I promised my husband I would rewatch Jessica Jones tonight so I snuck in a few more pages before driving home! @Tamra

#readKindredread

I've been yarn crafting more than reading the past week or so but I'm using the pattern out of this book for @JenlovesJT47 's little one... does that count as reading? 😂

I asked my husband to recommend a comic outside of my wheelhouse. This was the one he picked and he's been asking me when I'd read it. It's coming due soon to interlibrary loan so I thought I'd better get a start on it.... plus ice cream. 🐢🍨

1. I haven't watched the Olympics in years but I loved figure skating!
2. Lucy Knisley
3. July
4. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (with my family for Christmas.)
5. Okay! 🎁🎂

I look forward to #friyayintro every week! Thanks @jesshowbooks !

Morning bath, book, and beverage items.

I'm not complaining, but how is it Friday already?

My reading has slowed down so much! I'm almost finished with this book. I'm loving it but only squeezing in a few minutes of reading each day is not cutting it!

1. Naw. I keep forgetting that's a thing this weekend.
2. 45° F
3. Snow Falling by Jane Gloriana Villanueva; Nasty Women edited by 404 ink; and Belzhar by Meg Wolitzer
4. I hadn't really thought about it but Australia seems cool!
5. OKAY! 🖐

#Friyayintro
@jesshowbooks

I've wanted to read this book for years. This month I am determined to FINALLY make it happen. @Tamra and I are going to read it! If you'd like to join us, let us know!

#readKindredread

Bath bombs and Belzhar.

Hoping to get my reading groove back (after #24in48 readathon and a busy work week). #currentlyreading

After the #24in48 readathon this past weekend I've not been reading much... 😭

But I have been working on one of my favorite projects at work ..💖
