I know I read it because I was going to say something about book anxiety. I had some with the last book I read, Boy Swallows Universe and thank goodness I had it as an ebook because I flipped it to text-to-speech and put it on 4X speed to listen to until the nail-biting scenes were over. 😛<br /><br />I hope you had a great week! 🌼La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15824987442107017.post-26788780068199364752019-06-04T16:16:31.013-04:002019-06-04T16:16:31.013-04:00With three kids and dogs...

We wanted to go earlier, but it didn't work out until this month. And now my parents said they'd splurge for the trip for my birthday. ;)Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15824987442107017.post-56916466203561310042019-06-04T16:14:26.158-04:002019-06-04T16:14:26.158-04:00Me too!

I'd been using my parents washing machine once a week for the essentials, so things were starting to pile up around the house. Thankfully, it's all resolved now. I'm sure my parents are even happier about it. ;) I cannot wait to spend a few days at the beach! Hopefully it's not too hot when we go. <br /><br />I love that your niece made her own invisibility cloak! That's awesome!

I almost prefer the sun to their never-ending bites. Record-breaking heat?? Ouch. It's been high 90s here, but I have a feeling it's only going to get worse. I think we're supposed to get rain tomorrow, too! <br /><br />The washing machine drama is finally over! I'm really enjoying my new one. Honestly, I liked my old one, which is why I wanted them to fix it, but this will work. ;)<br /><br />Hmm, I've noticed that the super cute YA hasn't been clicking with me lately, but it's always nice to read something that's mostly happy. :)Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15824987442107017.post-91230067659683555522019-06-04T16:07:59.990-04:002019-06-04T16:07:59.990-04:00Happy belated birthday!

The rest of the books are always tinted with that darkness, even though there are some lighter areas. Although, I sort of love that your kid was so excited that he listened to a book in secret, haha! I'm happy it wasn't traumatic and he was able to talk to you about it afterwards. <br /><br />Hey, I'll always be okay with my kids sneaking in some extra reading time. My girls are two, and they always have books in their bed at night. They have a small light in their room, but it's not bright enough to read with (they also don't know how to read yet), but I always have to pull 3-4 books out of their beds once they finally fall asleep. <3Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15824987442107017.post-79634323828819569022019-06-04T13:41:36.188-04:002019-06-04T13:41:36.188-04:00I got the new washing machine last week!

Thank goodness they finally agreed to just get you a new washer. What a hassle that’s been. I read When Dimple Met Rishi when it first came out and while I didn’t absolutely love it like many did (the hype for it was absolutely crazy) I still really enjoyed it.
