I'm a Minnesotan who is probably reading a romance book, talking about books, or looking for book recs. All of that while listening to Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, and many others. πŸ¦‹πŸ“š

The only books that come to mind are by Fredrik Backman. I've read Beartown and My Grandmother asked me to tell you she's sorry. I wouldn't say they were a favorite, but they were definitely interesting reads. #BookishQOTD πŸ“–πŸ¦‹ #Booksky πŸ’™πŸ“š

Laundry started βœ… Dishwasher emptied βœ… Kitchen tidied up βœ… Now to figure out what to make for lunch. Only then can I relax and read.

I started reading one book last night, couldn't get into it. Put it aside. Started a second, and same thing. Scrolled through my kindle, and nothing called out to me. So obviously I need to buy a new book to solve this issue. #booksky πŸ’™πŸ“š

Is this where I admit I’ve never listened to an audiobook? Well that isn’t entirely true, I’ve tried. My brain just says no. #bookishQOTD πŸ“–πŸ¦‹ #booksky πŸ’™πŸ“š

It doesn't bother me to read an "out of season" book. There is one exception to this, and it's Christmas books. I keep that specifically for November and December, it cannot trickle into the rest of the year. #BookishQOTD πŸ“–πŸ¦‹ #Booksky πŸ’™πŸ“š

Books are still magical. I hope you find magic and comfort there. ✨

Oh it would have to be fantasy. Then i'd at least have magic on my side, and maybe a dragon. Meanwhile in a thriller I'd just be freaked out the entire time. 🀣 #BookishQOTD πŸ“–πŸ¦‹ #Booksky πŸ’™πŸ“š

It's "I Love To Read Month" at my kids school. My 8 year old is taking this very seriously and is reading every day. She has already read 3 books. My 10 year old is taking it easy, and tells me he has all month to read. But he did just check out 6 books from the library. #booksky πŸ’™πŸ“š

For the first time ever I have emailed my elected officials. All of this news surrounding the happenings in DC, not just with 47 but with EM, has my anxiety level increasing. My emails will probably go no where, but at least I've thrown it out there.

I finished Onyx Storm. My brain has yet to process everything that has happened, especially in the last quarter of the book. Also the ending? Uh, what? I need Rebecca to announce when book 4 will be released. I don't care if it isn't for a year, I need a date and something to look foward to. πŸ’™πŸ“š

I'm over half way through Onyx Storm, and I think I've experienced just about every emotion. The things that took place in chapters 41 and 42...my jaw was on the ground for the majority of that. Also, Ridoc is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. So RY better not off him. #booksky #onyxstorm

I am yours and you are mine, and there’s no law or rule in this world or the next that will change that. Oh Xaden. #booksky #onyxstorm #bookquote

I started Onyx Storm last night. Andarna had me laughing early on. Currently on chapter 14, and would rather read today than work. But that's not in the cards. #booksky

IT’S HERE! IT’S HERE! IT’S FINALLY HERE! Amazon finally delivered my copy of Onyx Storm! Timing works in my favor as I'm not currently reading anything. #booksky

I DNF'd another book, and I'm completely okay with it. And yes I DNF'd it after only reading a handful of pages. I could tell based off what I'd read that the book wasn't going to be for me. #booksky

I will not give into the lies. I will not give into the fear. Repeat it.

Dear Congress, There's this thing I think you need to refresh your memory of. Don't worry, it's short, so it won't take you much time, but I advise that you read it enough times that it's really internalized. It's Article I of the Constitution.
