I rearranged my bookshelves a couple weeks ago & realized I had a lot of books I'd never read. So to catch up I'm declaring next month "No Kindle July" and will only read audiobooks and physical books. I started this one on audio last year but realized it'd be better read. So excited! #Books 💙📚

June 2026: 23 Books; 8,612 Pages 2026 Total: 195 Books; 70,730 Pages A lot of double headers 🥎 and several 500+ page books that took me 3-4 days to read bc of softball, I didn't read quite as many books as usual. #Books 📚💙

My signed copy came in the mail today! #BooksofBluesky 📚💙

April: 30 bks;12,575 pgs 2026: 138 bks; 51,012 pgs FINALLY got my hands on PDF copies of the Windy City "prequels" you can't find anywhere from a stranger on TikTok at midnight. The Widow's Husband's Secret Lie by Frieda McFadden was a parody thriller novella that was so funny. 💙📚

March 38 books/14,019 pages 2026 108 books/38,404 pages I didn't end on a 5 or a 10 this month which may make me rock on the corner some. But I promised myself I wouldn't stress this year and panic read at the end of the month. I'm proud I stuck with it. 😬 #BookSky #Romance 📚💙

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

30 books in February. 70 for the year. Started a book club with some women from work. We did His & Hers which I'd had on my TBR but probably would never have read without them. I enjoyed it and in typical fashion, the book was better than the show. #booksky #mostlyromance 📚💙

Omar loves Buffalo Wild Wings night! One side of carrots, please! #dogs #dogsofbluesky #carrots 💙🐶

Democracy is dying in America. ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous. We need real leaders - not career politicians.

Spent about 5 hours today trying to take someone's overly complicated spreadsheet, make it more streamlined, and then change the data for my effort.......A few mins before I was off, I finally figured it all out. Then I ran out of the office so fast as to not accidentally mess something up.

2025 Original Goal: 10 Books 2025 Updated Goal: 450 Books 2025 Final Total: 501 Books, 175,040 pgs Favorite Series: Game Changer Boys of Tommen Chestnut Springs/Rose Hill Windy City Favorite Stand Alones: Project Hail Mary Funny You Should Ask Behind Every Good Man Til Summer Do Us Part 💙📚

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

October wrap up: 50 Books in October; 405 for 2025. See replies for my favs....and one oddball!

Not even halfway in and was crying so hard I couldn't see the screen and had to ask my husband through sobs for 5 Kleenexes because I knew 1 wouldn't be enough. She's doing an excellent job of the inner thoughts of someone going through infertility. #BooksofBlueSky #BeckaMack 📚💙

My 375th book for the year was the final book of the Game Changers series. I think I may have my first book hangover since finishing Boys of Tommen in June. I desperately need the US to get streaming rights to Heated Rivalry ASAP. #booksky #HeatedRivalry 📚💙

I love when Max turns into taxidermy 🤣 #corgi #dogsofbluesky #dogs #foster

Noticed this morning Max has some blue in his eye! #corgi #dogsofbluesky #dogs #foster

September Wrap Up! 40 books for the month 355 total for the year Favs: The Bodyguard, Once Upon a Boy Band, and Wild Card 📚💙 #BookSky

Been trying to get Max comfortable with snuggling. He won't jump up on the couch himself but will pace the house until you pick him up and put him on it. Finally got him to relax enough to take a nap. He's such a sweet boy & I'm guessing we'll have him adopted by the end of the week. #dogs #corgi

Foster #48 arrived Wednesday. His name is Max. He is super adorable and pretty chill so far. The only noise he's made was whining last night after he got fixed yesterday but he's better today. He loves to sit outside and gets along with our dogs....even the spicy one! #corgi #dogsofbluesky #dogs

August reading results - 45 books for a total of 315 for the year. Did my very first ARC called Twelve and a Half Summers by Ria Charya. Would recommend it if you want something quick with a HEA. #booksky 📚💙

Single bed (couch) trope. Gotta get that pillow wall up! #booksky #dogsky 💙📚

Halfway through book 7 of an 8 book series and everything is working out and everyone is happy.....and I'm really scared of what the next book and a half will bring. This isn't my usual genre of book but I'm loving this series so much! #booksky 📚💙

Goku got adopted! It was a quick one too. They walked into PetSmart, said "should we?" to each other and immediately filled out the app. Taking a short break and will get another foster in a couple weeks! #dogsofbluesky #foster #adopted #dogs

Goku is ready for the WWE! He's been such a fun guy to foster! Omar is loving having someone to play with this week! Smoochie is just hoping it to get squished on the couch. 🤣 #dogsofbluesky🐶 #dog #WWE

"He's trying to speak to me, I know it!" Foster #47 - Goku #dogsofbluesky

Foster #47 is Goku! He's a pug/Boston mix (supposedly). Got along with our dogs great immediately. Only 37% crazy and the rest is all snuggles. He's such a handsome boy! #dogsofbluesky #pugs #BostonTerrier 🐶

Foster #46 was Snoop. He ended up being too rough with our dogs and since he was a BIG boy we unfortunately had to return him. He got a short reprieve from the shelter & they now know more about him to help future adopters. He was very snuggly & curious. Potty & crate trained. #dogsofbluesky 🐶

Smoochie is one of our two dogs. He's our lone wolf and usually will forcibly snuggle for 30 seconds then won't acknowledge you for 3 days. Today he decided he's a snuggler and has sat on my lap for 30 mins. We are both very unsure about this scenario though. #dogsky 🐶👀

July wrap up. 40 books - 260 total for 2025. Goal for August is to read some of the books on my physical bookshelf that have been staring at me across the room while I read things on my Kindle. 😬

June Wrap Up: 35 for the month. 225 for the year. Best: Boys of Tommen series/Chestnut Springs series/Till Summer Do Us Part Worst: Wedding People Oddest plot to have to describe to someone: Out on a Limb/Under Loche and Key Most traumatizing: Releasing 10 #Booksky 📚💙

Last night at 11:59pm I finished the final (for now) Boys of Tommen book. I went in mostly blind and I had no idea what I was getting into. This series changed my brain chemistry. The range of emotion from the giggles to cackling to weeping. I loved it but need a silly romance now. #booksky📚💙 #BOT

New record of 50 books this month! Lots of late nights staying up to read several great series...and one series I had to force myself to finish bc I bought the whole thing in paperback. On to June! #booksky 📚💙

I knew it'd happen eventually but I "finally" read 2 books in a row with similar plotlines! Realized about 75% through Book Lovers that one thing was similar then came up with several other similarities. Probably would have never caught it if there'd been more than 24 hrs between books. 📚💙

It's been a long time since we got hail larger than a teenie pea. Thankfully I got home about 5 mins before it started. It's hailing milk duds! 😬

I'm learning a new level of anger when a book is recommended to me, I wait 8, 10, 16 weeks in a Libby queue for it to come available only to open it up and say "#2 in a series"....and #1 isn't available ANYWHERE. If you need me I'll be screaming into the void today. 🤣 📚💙

April is dooooone. 45 books read. I went heavy on the romance this month but I had a lot of series I was finishing up and new authors found! May will hopefully be more mysteries. Favorite authors this month: Abby Jimenez, Emily Henry, Amy Award, Elissa Sussman, Josh Gad, and Ashley Poston. 📚💙

Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry is like The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo + a side of extra romance and had a very satisfying ending. #booksky 📚💙

After 43 days in our care, squishy, velvet-headed Freddie got adopted! He goes to his forever home on Friday afternoon! And the best part is his owners are friends with another dog we had so they'll get to play!🎉🎉🎉🎉 #fosterdog #dogsofbluesky

Starting a new one! I've read a lot of books this year and this is the first one that I cracked open and instantly got that "book smell". Brought me back to my childhood!
