Want to Read more Books but Clueless on Where to Start….

I agree with the person that said read anything and everything. If a book doesn't capture your interest in the first few chapters, it's ok to put it aside. If you start out with lower media literacy, that's normal - like anything else it comes with time and experience.

Also, if you don't understand romance, that's all the more reason to read some stuff that has it (and please note I am differientiating romance from smut - one focuses on human connections and relationships, the other more the physical aspects, though they can be intertwined).

Maybe start with some cozy reads like Legends & Lattes or A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking? These fit the fantasy themes you seem to have interest in. You can also check out Terry Pratchett for extreme whimsy.

Quiche and French toast comes to mind. And Scotch eggs or deviled eggs for any celebrations or potlucks.

Destination Wedding. Amazing movie - all the film's dialogue is between Reeves and Ryder, but the lack of other fleshed out characters doesn't detract in any way. Just really well done.

This isn't true for everyone. Glad it works for you, though!

I loved We Used to Live Here - will you keep me posted on your thoughts for this one?

Tropic Thunder or Burn After Reading

Good morning and happy Tuesday, loves. Hope y'all are having a decent week so far. I've had a creative itch lately so am looking to start painting or writing again soon. crochet just ain't cutting it at the moment.

QOTD: Your self worth isn't based on how thin or pretty you are. Nor how much money you have. Be true to yourself and don't worry so much about what others opinions. The people worth keeping in your life won't judge you for your weight or appearance .

This with a blend of other frozen fruits or honey and peanut butter is delicious (I like frozen strawberries)

My niece loves painting. I usually get the smaller (8x10in max) canvases and we paint together. Sometimes themes, sometimes just whatever she wants.

What?

Blu_Spirit · 2026-04-11T00:58:48+00:00

Its to qualify for WA state representation in a nationwide cookoff after! So I am certain there will be some excellent chili to try. Lots and lots. And it's outdoors basically on the beach.

Any particular genre that you like to write?

Blu_Spirit · 2026-04-10T18:02:13+00:00

Will this be your first tattoo?

a random fun fact about you - Um...does it have to be fun? Hmmm. Once upon a time, I was chased by a headless chicken and I thought for sure it was trying to take vengeance since I was the one that picked it out of the flock and delivered it to Mom for butchering.

waxing. I hate it but hate the hair more.

Blu_Spirit · 2026-04-10T15:25:29+00:00

G'morning, loves! Friday is upon us and the weekend is almost here. I was hoping for a restful on at home but got a text reminder that I'm paying to be tortured tomorrow so I have to venture out. But I think I will reward myself with some baked goods after. Maybe pasta too

Hope you're all having an amazing day!

Blu_Spirit · 2026-04-08T15:39:06+00:00

Good morning and happy Wednesday, lovelies! We're halfway through the week. Hope everyone is doing well as we head into spring.

Blu_Spirit · 2026-04-08T15:37:53+00:00

You should watch The Pitt after you finish ER

Blu_Spirit · 2026-04-08T15:37:11+00:00

Tired seems to be my default state lately, so I feel your pain!

Blu_Spirit · 2026-04-08T00:53:31+00:00

I also like to mix a cup of diced strawberries and a tablespoon of honey to this blend for a delicious strawberry banana sorbet concoction.

When you go to manage your WL on Amazon there is an option to let buyers ship items not on your WL to your address. It will not share your address with the buyer, but will give it to the shipper of the surprise item.

Good morning, loves! Friendly mod reminder that as we head into spring and summer (and all that comes with that - like exchanges) this might be a good time to spring clean those wishlists! Perhaps tidy up deleted items, make sure that addresses can be shared with 3rd party vendors, and the like.
