Hesitantly flirting with the word "recovered" this morning. Whatever this was had me down for a month and I am ready to rejoin the world.
It's 5 in the morning, I'm logging into work, and hitting play on my next book.

Have been down with a respiratory infection for three weeks! Haven't read much of anything due to the symptoms, but I'm finally coming out of it.
Currently reading Stone Blind and would love to hear thoughts if anyone has read it.

Welcome to the latest installment of Bought It & Forgot It (aka Read What You Own).
Book 7 was picked from the unread stacks of my library by my son because "hysteria is a fun word."

Our exploration of my unread Kindle Library continues with Book 4. My daughter picked this one on basis of the cover art. Not sure if she realized it's an anthology but I'm here for it.

Book 3 of my Read My Kindle Library Challenge has been selected by my husband. His evaluation process remains a mystery though I suspect he places heavy emphasis on cover art as he never reads the descriptions. 🤣

Have allowed the state of the world and work to crush my soul and stifle my energy for two weeks.
Enough is enough. It's time to take it back.
First goal: Take in a few chapters before knocking out some chores.

My work day is slowing down, and I can't wait to clock out because my evening is booked!
I've been on pins and needles since I heard @janetwertman.bsky.social was working on the first draft of this book, and I am dying to dive in! 😍

Slipping back into social media like...
The last several weeks have been a lot. World news, wildfires, we had to replace our heater, my kids got braces, our water heater flooded our entry, and we had a trespasser arrested on our property.
All this to say, I'm back and want to talk books.

Still deep my current read, but I am starting to eye my TBR for what comes next.
What am I seeing? A plethora of poorly designed covers. This is a hill on which I will die, people. Like it or not, bad covers kill sales.

Can't say how long this one has been on my #TBR but it's time to tackle it. Wish me luck!

Essential reading lists SHOULD NOT be limited to traditionally published best sellers from the last few years.
It's frustrating to see the same "commercial set" on every list with little or no recognition for smaller publishing houses, backlists, indie authors, etc.

I'm not sure what amazes me more: The fact that I finished my #bookclub pick early (Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng ⭐⭐⭐⭐) or the fact that I've fallen headlong into a #WWIIfiction! I've been putting My Father's House off for ages over burnout, but I love every word!

Is there anything more annoying than getting tagged in promotions for a book you've never heard of by an author you've never spoken to?
This is one of the best ways to ensure I never read something.
