📌 Here's a thread of the books I've read for this year's #20BooksByBlackWomen & #20BooksByBlackFolx challenges (that I plan to update throughout the year as I finish more books)
Sometimes I really hate when I have to go to the store w/my husband. I go in for 2 things that could take me 10 minutes max. But he likes blind boxes & bags, so I always end up being here for 45-60 minutes 😭😭😭

House hunting sucks 🥺
Hubby & I are having a hard time agreeing on things, we are stressing each other out, & the two houses we loved & put offers on recently, didn't pan out. It's been a mess & our relationship is strained & idk how to fix it besides finally getting a house 😭

Religious people losing their minds over Pope Leo XIV's ice blessing is hilarious. If God created the Earth, created all things in nature, then ice & water are another of God's wondrous creations. Homes can be blessed; no one blinks. Earth is our home. Find something worth being indignant over 😂

Today I hosted the Book Club program at my library. It's a regular group & the ladies that come every week basically run the show themselves. We, as staff, just pull up the titles they discuss on Goodreads so they can see the books and see the general rating from others. 1/?

Full respect to my in-laws but umm....don't you know how I operate? I'm a List-Maker. I make tedious, thorough to-do lists, ahead of ANYTHING big I have to do. I'll be ok 😂

Just listened to the newest live recording of Love Drunk (the Fenway recording {The Homecoming}) from Boys Like Girls....& why does it actually sound better than the original recording? 😮 I love it so much 💕🎶
I listened to it when it first released. This version's hitting me in all the right ways

Me before: I'm not big on soccer, I'll watch something else...
Me now: *continually turning on Blue Lock to see what happens next*
😂 I love how anime can be so surprising & rope me in when I least expect it

My house hunt continues today. It's been a long, tiring process overall. But I'm so ready to strike out on my own at this point. Please let this house be the right fit 🥺

There's no family/couple bonding activity quite like suddenly having to change a tire. At least this one was in the garage & we weren't on the side of the road somewhere 😂

My mother treats me like I'm a major inconvenience, when she's the one who basically designed my life to be the way it is right now, specifically the way it's inconveniencing her...how ironic. Naturally I get all the emotional fallout of it, though.

Today I've realized I like wooden chimes far more than metal ones. 🙂 They just sound more pleasant & calming to me overall.

If there's one thing I really really hate, it's being rushed on big decisions. When my plate is full and I have a big life choice to make, the last thing I need is to be reminded of tight deadlines & told to essentially hurry it up when I still have an opportunity to get more time 😑

I forgot how intense of a book Animorphs is. I'm listening to the audiobook of book 1 & WOW. Talk about a dark kick-off to a series. 😅 I read it as a kid, but forgot about it's details over the years.

I have a lot going on right now, some snowballing events changing up a lot very quickly.
It threw off some plans my husband and I have had for our home buying process this weekend. His initial reaction left me feeling worried & concerned about how this weekend/upcoming week would go.

One of the best things about longer drives is audiobook time. I get car sick if I read a book the usual way, but audiobooks have been an absolute game changer for me ❤️
Libby is incredible for being able to safely & conveniently "carry" library books around w/me out of town #LibrarianLife #BookSky

One of my favorite moments of Batman: The Long Halloween is when Batman delivers Solomon Grundy a plate of Thanksgiving dinner.
It really brings a wholesome vibe to Gotham's bizarre dynamic & really shows Bruce's heart underneath the cowl

Whenever my husband and I buy a new TCG pack that we have never been into before....once he goes onto TCGPlayer, I know it's going to get immediately less fun 😂

As a kid I loved readathons at school. All I want right now is a readathon, but I still have one more day in the work week to get through, so I can't have one 😭

Going through random music for fun...I never knew Tammy Wynette was basically just "sad girl country". This album at least has been. Like....girl, kick him to the curb, don't waste your tears, and have some darn fun just being you for a quick spell 🙃
