"And the boy loved the tree.......very much. And the tree was happy."
Shel Silverstein, The Giving Tree

One of my favorites things about From the Page is that she includes classics and children's stories in her line of products! I loved The Giving Tree when I was younger! I can remember my mom reading it to me growing up. This Giving Tree inspired apple scented candle is perfect for fall!

I've been rereading this series on audio all weekend while painting our new house. I love listening to this series, Will Patton does a phenomenal job narrating it! Definitely helped the time go by quicker! #theravencycle #maggiestiefvater #audibooks

I loved this pocket mirror that was included in July's Owlcrate! I pretty much love anything associated with the Shades of Magic series! Ive been on a rereading kick lately and this little mirror with its two words have added A Darker Shade of Magic to the list!

Happy Birthday to the Boy Who Lived and Queen J.K. Rowling! ❤️⚡️

Only 2 months until Tower of Dawn! Who's excited?!

I wonder if I can get a reread of this series in before I box up all my books for the move..

Saturday garage sale book finds! Chairman approved.

We got two books in our Owlcrate this month, the second being this lovely. I had already read this book before getting the box, I actually have one of the first printings. But this edition matches my copy of the sequel New World Ashes. Yay for all things matching! This is a great dystopian read and Phoenix is one of my favorite leading ladies. Taylor approved!

Used my Owlcrate Divergent Bath Bomb last night. The bath bomb had a hidden charm inside to show you what faction you are. Apparently I'm in Candor.

Happy Independence Day America!! 🇺🇸🎉

I love the Shades of Magic series! Kel and Lila, the magic, the idea of 4 different Londons and the travel between them. It's just a spectacularly creative story!

"I would have come for you. And if I couldn't walk, I'd crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we'd fight our way out together-knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that's what we do. We never stop fighting."

Is anyone else counting down the months until the Ready Player One movie?! I can't wait! I loved this book so much. A dystopian world full of 80's pop culture references and a scavenger hunt to top all hunts - yes please!! I really hope the movie does the book justice. If you haven't read this yet you need to get on that. Don't have time? Listen to the audiobook, Wil Wheaton reads it!!

Happy 20th anniversary Harry Potter! It's hard to believe these books have been in my life for almost 20 years! #harrypotter20

Every now and then I read non fiction. I'm working my way through Redemption at Hacksaw Ridge right now. The movie was so amazing and the book provides so much more details. I like reading about people's experiences of WWII and The Great War. #historynerd

I'm down to my last 2 chocolate frogs from Harry Potter World! 😩 I'm trying to convince Husband that we need to go back soon if not just to restock our wizarding snacks. And for the frozen butterbeer 🤤#chocolatefrogs #harrypotter #thewizardingworldofharrypotter

ACOMAF is probably my favorite Sarah J. Maas book hands down! I devoured this book in one sitting, I just couldn't stop reading it. When I finished I read it again and then again! I didn't want to leave that world, that story behind. Feyre, Rysand, the court of dreams, the Night Court, Prythian; they were all so perfect. ACOTAR and ACOWAR just pale in comparison to this, my favorite of the series. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed these books! 1800's Russia with a magical game to the death. Lots of fun! And I got to meet the author Evelyn Skye a few weeks ago. She was so nice and gave more insight to the story and her writing making it that much better!

"Imagine, and it shall be.
There are no limits.⁠⁠⁠⁠"

"My letters are for when I don't want to be in love anymore. They're for good-bye. Because after I write in my letter, I'm not longer consumed by my all-consuming love...My letters set me free. Or at least they're supposed to."
Jenny Han, To All the Boys I've Loved Before

"I know it hurts," she said. "So make it worth the pain."

In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history." - Shatter Me
