Got notification from the library that this book was ready just as I was out the door to head home for the weekend.

Death straightened up. “He is here.” - live your life so that death actually reacts like this. OH SHIT! Also look at those cute illustrations!! Every chapter they‘re different.

#riotgrams day 20 books and flowers. Trying to read this and the collected schizophrenias. Wish me luck.

#riotgrams day 17 bookmarks. More than a little in love with London. My true love.

Have these two books on hold from the library. #riotgrams day 16 to be read.

Two very different books arrived from the library! I‘ve been eagerly anticipating both.

#riotgrams day 13 best dedication. Especially relevant in these scary times

Not a big romance reader, so I‘m gonna skip riot grams today, but that‘s alright cause a new book store opened in town last month and I finally visited. It‘s beside a coffee shop!! New and used books AND IT‘S BEAUTIFULLY CURATED!! So many good books! I got two!

#riotgrams day 11: beasties and monsters. One of my favourite classics !

#riotgrams day ten: retelling. It‘s like the jungle book but set in a cemetery. ...and that‘s how you sell a book. It was fantastic. One of my first Gaiman experiences !!

Went to a big book sale at an arena in Niagara Falls yesterday and I only bought three books ???? Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

In an ideal world this stack would be what I read this summer when schools out. Day four #riotgrams stacks

Day three #riotgrams picture book. I don‘t have many picture books, I left some of the big things behind when I moved. I did keep this book about a man who digs around New York City and documents what he finds.

#riotgrams day two: books and socks. It‘s a little warm out today, but I love my purposely mismatched socks from the Friday sock company! I‘d wear socks all summer if I could.

I often attempt this, let‘s see how far I get this year. Day one: #shelfie Here is my second shelf, I don‘t often take a picture because it‘s not as pretty as my rainbow shelf, it‘s got all the beige coloured books. 😬😬 #riotgrams

Happy world goth day. Here are a few books that give me a goth vibe deep in my black heart. 🖤🖤🖤

I‘ve been busy as of late, and now I‘m under a lot of pressure. I can do this. Happy Victoria Day long weekend to my fellow Canadians

You can say, “this is impossible, terrible.” Or you can say, “this is beautiful, wonderful.” You can imagine that you‘re in exile. Or you can imagine that you have more than one home.

Thus starts this memoir I‘ve been waiting a long time to read. Cross your fingers I can read this and normal people in two weeks before they go back to the library.

almost finished ghost wall (it‘s a short one), and this became available. 🎉🎉🎉

Very sad to hear of the passing of Wayson Choy. He came and talked to my English class after we read his book. He stayed after and signed all of our copies. During his talk, I remember him saying something along the lines of: This life we have is so sweet, anything else after is icing on the cake.

Just a few pages in. Creepy as hell

Love the detective story the author is recounting while researching Milicent. It really draws you in, and I feel like cheering when there is a breakthrough.

Went to my first literary festival today and had a great time!! Good discussion with some very smart women!

Quotes like this that make you stop and read them a few times...happened frequently in “Homes,” and I hope this young man continues to adjust to his life here in Canada. Great insight into what some of my learners have gone through, and what they are currently going through.

Just finished Homes, and now for something completely different.

BIG LIBRARY READ! I‘m an ESL instructor and most of my learners are from Syria, so I‘m very interested to hear this young man‘s account.

The story is picking up, some harrowing scenes of survival and brutality, as well as some great questions about spirituality and sexual identity. I was thinking about this book a lot today at work, hoping to finish in the next few days.

It‘s a fun idea, but I don‘t think I‘ll be able to handle this. I‘ve got authors in various places and I may be a little too anal.

March break is just about over, not much reading got done. Didn‘t finish my last book, not feeling it. Hope this goes a little better. I‘ve got 8 days to finish 🙄 and hockey playing in the background

Happy March break to those of us lucky enough to partake. These both recently came into my hands from the library.

Ehhhh..... it had a lot of potential, but not what I was looking for. Finished it though. Book five of 30

I‘m still here! I moved! There is a lot of light due to the lack of curtains in the living room area, books are looking fine as heck though. It went smooth and I just got WiFi today, so I‘m playing catch up!

The ice has all melted, I have emerged from the two snow days we had somehow struggling to finish this book before it goes back to the library. I feel guilty reading when I should be packing.

Scenes from a move in progress. I recently donated about forty books, and man, I should have purged more. Any tips would be most welcome. Right now books are going in the bottom of every single box and bag I‘m filling up. To distribute the weight.

Attempting. Watching hockey.

Snow day! Gotta finish this! Mostly because those other two books I was next in line for have become available from the library 🤪🤪😩

I‘ve got two other books that I‘m next in line for, and I‘m feeling the pressure. Looking forward to this one since I read the article online a few years ago. 🔗🔗🔗➡️➡️➡️https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a12063822/emotional-labor-gender-equality/

It‘s not been a good month for reading, so I‘m switching it up. Saw this first mentioned by @SkeletonKey (I think!!), and then it kept coming up AND it was available from the library. Fate.

The snow has been coming down in Niagara for a while now, I‘ve already got my feet up. I think I‘ll just stay here. This book is due back at the library in a few days. Of course.

Hi! 👋👋 it‘s been a week! My first week back at it, I needed a wholesome meme. Samantha Irby posted this and I‘m feeling it. Especially after all the tidying up and Marie Kondo sparking joy

“Those are the kind of boots that could make a man dizzy.” - god I love this book. I‘ve highlighted too many passages and I don‘t really want it to end. Also don‘t really want to take this tree down, but such is life and we can‘t have nice things.

Up next. Almost finished my first book of 2019. Just set my reading goal of a whopping 30 books this year! This one has mixed reviews, but I‘m intrigued.

Finishing up how to be famous and as always planning on what‘s next. Happy first day of 2019 friends.

Tagged my favourite book of the year, I am happy about my reading life, and looking forward to 2019. Not too sure about my challenge for next year...yet.

The 90‘s were obviously the best decade for music (🤪), so I can‘t wait to rip into this one! I just completed my reading challenge, but I might squeeze this one in depending on how deft I am at avoiding family.

Lovin this book so far!! Kobo says I‘m about 25% in, and I‘ve got three days to finish! Gotta watch the show!!

It wasn‘t that time stopped in the library. It was as if it were captured here, collected here, and in all libraries-and not only my time, my life, but all human time as well...the library is a gathering pool of narratives and of the people who come to find them. It is where we can glimpse immortality; in the library, we can live forever.

Fresh from the library and onto my e reader. I really hope I can finish this one

I‘m still here! Working on a book I started about six months ago! Just picking up right where I left off
