Stop 2 on the book tour of Brainerd. My niece and I are still laughing at this title. There are a surprising amount of vintage YA and teen books here.

Found a super cute used bookstore in Brainerd, MN called CatTale's and chatted up the owner who was my age or younger (mid 30's). Picked this up because I adore her Speedwell & Stoker series. Then stopped at the dollar store for candy....

Think Captive Prince but with dragons! Enough said

Discovering new bookstores on vacay ❤️ And these socks are so me.

This story was so frickin' adorable. She's a romance novelist and he works in the craft of glass blowing (hence the title, Blow). Also, so very beachy.

Ok, the vacation forecast is 85 and rainy so I'm packing a suitcase of books for car and pool reading, etc. I also have 4 books on my phone to review.

Thanks to @monogamist_reader @charl08 @shadowspeak17 and @GypsyKat for your invaluable input on my last post.

Successful scouring of Marshall's for the Kate Spade thermal mug and HPB shelves for TBR. The Red Pyramid GN was $3! 🎉

The PBs are possible take and leave behinds for vacation.

I'm going on vacation next week and trying to plan what books to take. What do you take to read on vacation?

Hardcover? Paperbacks? E-books?

What genre? Action/adventure? Mystery? Beach read? Contemporary/romance?

Shorter stories? Chunksters?

Something I've started? Something new?

Buy something when I get there? (It's a road-trip, no planes, if that helps)

HELP!

My #preorder incentive tote bag showed up in time for my vacation next week. 😎🌴

#socksunday How great are these socks?!

Stopped at Barnes with a few coupons 🤔

Aristotle and Dante also made it in as an impulse purchase.. 🤦‍♀️

“All told, what we lacked in common interests we more than made up for in snark-filled chemistry.“

'Snark-filled chemistry' is all I'm looking for in a relationship *sigh*

Went to our town's first ever Shakespeare Festival. My oldest niece was Peasblossom in her theater camp's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

It was super tiny, but so fun!

I've had a reading epiphany 💡- I usually lean towards YA, but now realize it's not about the age of the characters. It's about the angst.

I adored this new Ann Cleeves and Detective Matthew Venn and all his anxiety and self-doubt. I ate it up with a spoon and I want more.

FYI I found this as a Read Now on Netgalley.

I ordered a used copy through hpb.com and they sent me a BOTM copy 😁 I finally feel like part of the club 😂

#bookwormproblems

When you want to read your new book, but you're not caught up in the series.

Just want to give a shout-out to the Libby app and my library for letting me check out books 10 minutes before my bedtime and without my parents seeing ☺️

Ok, so I'm 35 (I can read what I want), but we make weekly trips to the library together. ?And trying to explain to them the premise behind these... ? "Yeah, so think Game of Thrones, but with, like, pleasure slaves..." ?‍♀️

Such a fun end to my weekend. 🍻🎡🎇

Full review on Goodreads. #netgalley #spellbound #nosociallife #noregrets

@RealLifeReading Thanks! It was a good challenge to look for E's 😁 #alphabetbookishquiz

No biggie, just signed, special edition, favorite author #bookmail ! 💃🕺

This was an impulsive cover pick from #netgalley, but so far it's been really good! 😍☺️ #currentlyreading

My library's summer reading program is counting hours read this year. I'm already two books and ten hours down!

Yay - book mail with my favorite fancy edges. 😁🎉📚

#anticipated Excited for this ❤️

Doctors should work on erasing clowns. Period.

Anyone catch Pawn Stars last night?

Rick bought a limited edition, illustrated, signed, and numbered hardcover copy of Game of Thrones (published in 2000, I think - anyone have one?) and 'pawntificated' on how the series is based on The War of the Roses. 🌹

When your book is good, but it's a beast.

Current strategy: Read it as slowly as possible and the third one might be published by the time I've finished...

#bookmail #unboxed #UKcovers

#libraryhaul What to read first? 🤔

#bookmail 🎉📚

Oooo I just noticed I have an 'unlucky' number of followers.. LOL!

Hi there new followers! 🙋 And hi to everyone that followed me back. 💁

*In a book coma this weekend after finishing King of Fools*

Confession - I totally got my 13 year old niece hooked on the Shatter Me series... then she discovered my Ignite Me copy was only the first 28 pages repeated over and over...

I had no idea 😂 I've only read the first one.

What's the weirdest misprint you've found with a book?

#libraryhaul

I can't get over the fact that the tagged book is set in Minneapolis (MN)! Yay home state pride. 🎊

I'm reading this way too slowly (Netgalley granted me a copy at the end of March), but it's just so twisty and good...

♠️♣️♥️♦️🃏 #theshadowgame #kingoffools #netgalley #seriesread

This is getting published in November 📚

https://slate.com/culture/2019/05/blood-heir-amelie-wen-zhao-controversy-publica...

So I saw a discussion started on Facebook that guys running their hands through their hair is like the over-used girls letting out a breath they didn't know they were holding...

And now I can't stop noticing it. 😂

*Looks outside*
*Looks at the calendar*
*Looks back outside*

Yelp, looks like a reading day. #minnesnowta

Yay! 🎉 Through a combination of reading and listening, I finished today. ...and am now joining the group of people waiting for the next two.

Luckily I have plenty to read in the meantime. 😂 📚🍹

After all, reading is arguably a far more creative and imaginative process than writing... readers... should reserve as much praise for themselves as they do for the writer - perhaps more.

Books - are a kind of magic.

April new release #bookhaul

These are my #seriesread that I want to get to this month or next.

#libraryhaul
Continuing my Thursday Next / Jasper Fforde read-a-thon and picked up the print version of Shades of Grey so i can alternate with the audiobook 😁

So ready for this. Come on November! #anticipated

Harry Potter reference! Lol
#netgalley #currentlyreading

Started listening to this from Overdrive/Libby last night because Libby didn't have the 3rd Thursday Next novel.

It's different, but I like it. The narrator has an awesome accent.

I fell down the Jasper Fforde rabbit hole... #noregrets

I just recently found out he never has a chapter 13. There's always one listed in the Contents, but not written. 🤷‍♀️

"Pop always said life isn't so much what happens as who tells the better story about it later."

"If he didn't deal with her, the Jack Spratt series was likely to stop abruptly at the second volume. No third book and definitely no boxed set."

Oh no - kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy! ?
