Ahhhh I can’t fully participate because I’m working on my PhD so no fun reads for me :joy: and usually if I do get to, they’re leadership based and audiobooks :sweat_smile:

Can’t wait to hear from everyone else though!

Ohh love love love this topic! Ok so I have a tumbler I made in honor of the paranormal romance books I like to read and the one author I like I am on her patron page and she dies a adult beverage live so I made a wine glass for that. (Amanda K the ribbon novels)

My cozy spot on the couch with my little dog and cat cuddling on my lap, my hot cup of coffee and usually on my tablet looking for the next thing to make!

I miss reading Harry Potter books as well as those done by Terry Pratchett :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: I love those with Granny Weatherwax, the wee free men, tiffany aching and Samuel Vimes as characters.

Maybe I need to get back to reading again. :thinking: The problem is the interruptions… When your too engulfed in the story then you’re gonna be brought back to reality with Mooooooom :woman_facepalming:

My kindle app says I have finished 95 books so far this year (anything below 600 pages is a short book I think and most kindle books are not crazy long) I have both reading and crafting problems… and I won’t apologize for them lol they keep me sane for others protection lol :joy:

I am currently reading “She Rises” by Felicia Gonzaque. I like to settle for the evening with a book in my bed. I created some book marks with HTVRont melalic purple permanent vinyl. I’m on my computer and the picture in on my phone. It may be posted on my TikTok from earlier this year. The color is beautiful. It was so easy to weed. Even with the small font.

I gave them as gifts at a women’s conference I hosted. The ladies loved them.

Hello, this is such a great idea… Cozy is my middle name, I love to relax at night by reading a book, right now I’m reading Hercules (mythology) book and as long as it is, it keeps me laughing and wondering what’s next… longest book ever… I enjoy it with my chocolate ice cream to wind down… Unfortunately I do not have any crafting stuff for my reading as I read in bed when going to sleep… So this is going to motivate me to do something that can combine my craft with my reading :). Thanks have a happy Friday ya’ll… :blush: My babies are not allowed in my room as I am allergic, but they are my babies :slight_smile:

This is the coziest chair I’ve ever had! I can sit for long periods while working on my crafting or sewing projects. I love the armrests and the breathable backrest that reclines 45 degrees. I also love that I can adjust the height, spin 360 degrees, and enjoy the built-in footrest. Most of all, I adore the generous ergonomic seat cushion they added—total game changer! :heart:

My favourite bookmark says
**Be strong for yourself **
It reminds us at the end of the day to be strong not because we have families and duties, we also need to be strong for ourselves firstly.
