My library rocks! They started a “bookopoly,” and when you play you are entered to win prizes to local businesses! You get a ticket for each property space you complete. This is so cool, and I‘m proud to say I‘ve already completed 6 spaces! Let the reading commence! 🤓
so-soI loved Blake‘s previous book “Dark Matter,” so I thought I would really enjoy his new novel. Unfortunately, I was left confused for a large part of the novel and I still don‘t really understand what happened. I feel like other reviewers raved about this book and I feel so dumb for not understanding it. Still love Crouch though!
Been sick in bed for the past week with the flu and strep throat. Feeling a tad better today and it‘s the first day I‘m fever free, so I‘m going to do a bit of a re-read with my favorite vampire series 🧛🏻♀️💉
so-soI so wanted to love this book, but I found myself bored and had to skim through the ending. This could have had a lot of potential, and the there really weren‘t any “oh my gosh I didn‘t see that coming” moments. Oh well, back to the library this one goes!
❤️📚❤️☕️❤️
Between changings, feedings, and playing with my newborn I haven‘t had any time to read! I forget what it feels like 😢
THIS. RIGHT. HERE.
This is why I read to my child everyday, even though he is just an infant. He already has a fascination with books and looks at the pictures and coos when I read. Books open up a world of imagination, and electronics are extremely limited in my house. I pray my child becomes an avid reader like his mama 📚
I‘m gonna start this series from the beginning eventually before I venture into this last book of the series. I loved the first three, but lost interest during the fourth novel. I‘m gonna give it a go again and maybe I‘ll enjoy them again. Can‘t wait to start this last one though because I heard amazing things! 🧝🏻♀️⚔️
This is my last week off from maternity leave and my five week old is definitely sending me off with a HUGE farewell. He was up all last night and today he is refusing a nap 💤 Man, I don‘t know if I‘m going to get any reading done this week so can y‘all read a few chapters for me? Also, totally bummed about having to leave my little one next week 😩
Oooohhhh I‘m in love! Hope the scary stories are just as cool and spooky as that cover!
Going to try to follow along with this on Audible. I have a hard time focusing and comprehending with being read to, but I have wanted to read this for a long time. I am a complete introvert and have dealt with social anxiety my whole life, so I‘m really looking forward to this reading! Let‘s just hope I can follow along! 🤫
pickThis book was incredible! It had me at the edge of my seat the entire time. I highly recommend and can‘t say enough great things about this novel 👍🏻👍🏻
Getting some reading time in while this little one sleeps on my belly. Yay for baby butts and books! 😂 They say sleep when the baby sleeps, but I say read when the baby sleeps!
Happy New Years Eve! I feel like my year in books was a successful one, and my New Years Resolution is to finally get a little free library to put out front of my house. All of my goals for 2018 have been achieved, so I‘m going to make this my top goal for 2019! Celebrating tonight with my husband, my mom, and our wonderful two week old son 💙
pickThis collection of poetry was simply stunning. At first, it was a lot like Milk and Honey, but it turned into so much more. By the end, I felt empowered and positive and now I can‘t wait until she writes another. Too bad it took me this long to read, but it was a fast one and a book I will come back to many times.
Yup my husband gets me! $200 in gift cards to Barnes and Noble and 2nd and Charles, and this awesome sign for my library! Merry Christmas everyone! I hope it‘s everything and more! 🎄🎄💙💙
On Monday, I gave birth (20 hours of labor later) to a beautiful baby boy named Rowan Kirk Jenson Schnell. This little man is everything to me and my husband and it‘s going to be a while before I can start reading again. I‘m going to be a little MIA due to this new little babe, but happy reading everyone!
Four days past my due date for baby and this is perfect right now (and don‘t worry, it‘s pineapple juice in there not wine haha)
Snuggled up with my electric blanket and a cup of cocoa waiting for this baby to arrive! He is due on Thursday and let‘s hope he comes soon because I‘m so ready to meet my newest little bookworm! I‘ve been in a bit of a reading slump lately so we‘re gonna fix that right now with a little rest and relaxation 💆🏻♀️
A little bit of me time before I have to go out into the world and shop later! The baby makes his arrival in another two and a half weeks so I better make the best of these “me” moments while I still can! 😆
Starting our own little book for our precious little guy who is due December 13. I can‘t wait to meet my son and introduce him to the world of reading and books 📖
Getting closer and closer to Halloween! I‘m reading Dracul right now and it‘s proving to be a top historical fiction horror for sure! Some images I can‘t get out of my head, like when Bram sees his Nanny Ellen‘s hand emerge from the swamp! 💀💀💀
Reading on this fall dreary day and loving every second of it. Accompanying this book is my hot apple pie fall candle 🥧
Wahooo! After a week of 80 degree and humid weather, it finally feels like Fall outside here in PA! After work, I‘m going to the library and going to read to my hearts content ❤️ It‘s gonna be a good day!
Getting into the creepy month of October with this spooky/psychological thriller! So far I‘m 100 pages in and liking it so far...too bad I have to stop reading soon because of dumb work 😤
😊😊😊💙💙💙
There‘s only a few good stories that stick with me throughout time, where I often ponder over them in the future and think how a book impacted or changed my life and views somehow. I can already tell this book is going to be one of them and I‘m only 150 pages in. I‘m falling in love with Weylyn and his views on many things ❤️
This is what my day is consisting of! My friend let me borrow this book and it‘s my goal to finish it in one sitting today. Challenge accepted! 💪🏻📚
I have an extremely trying classroom this year, and my first CLASS observation from the state is coming in the first week of October to observe all teachers (why would you observe so early in the school year! Kids are still getting used to schedules and routines!) So I‘m going to live by this quote right now and know when the day is over I can come home to an amazing book 📖
Definitely getting my spooky on tonight thanks to @callielafleur
Thanks so much and I can‘t wait to get started on reading these and adding them to my collection! 💀
1) Besides my dog, elephants are definitely my favorite animal 🐘
2) Either the wooly mammoth or the brontosaurus 🦕
3) Hmmm, definitely snakes 🐍
4) The wolf is me and my husbands spirit animal. We even have matching tattoos of wolves!
5) A bird (because it would be so fun to fly!)
#hellothursday
My library will be closed for the next three weeks due to renovations, so naturally my library TBR is going to increase tremendously! Can‘t wait to see the new changes that they‘re going to be making as it was very much so needed. This new librarian is the best we‘ve ever had, and really does take reading and the community seriously 📚❤️
I feel like this is definitely me today. I just got back from my glucose testing to check for gestational diabetes and now it‘s time to curl up in my blanky and read 🤓📚
My Labor Day consists of a great fantasy novel, a blanket, and a wicked thunderstorm happening outside. Just what I need for a perfect day of rest 🐉⛈
This is an awesome giveaway!!
When I was younger, the scary books I read were from R.L. Stine‘s Goosebumps! I remember going to the book store looking frantically when he would write a new book because I just had to have it! I used to also love to spook myself out by watching the Goosebumps series on tv. I would love fear Street to add to my collection 💀

A little bit of Rosemarys Baby before work this morning and accompanying me is my awesome elf Christmas cup...because as a teacher I‘m already counting down to Christmas break 😂🎄
Loving this book so far and I‘m only 50 pages in! I just can‘t believe it took me this long to read it! 💀😱
Where in the heck has this summer gone?!? Teacher in-service starts on Monday and we welcome the students back the day after Labor Day. I think for every #teachersoflitsy this describes our first week back perfectly 😂🤣 To all the fellow teachers who returned already to teaching, happy Friday! Only about 180 days until summer break returns!
Already loving this book with this awesome map 🗺 I LOVED Caraval so much, and I can‘t wait to dive into the second novel by Stephanie Garber! Excuse me while I transport myself into her awesome world she created for us ❤️❤️
so-soThis book started off a tad bit slow, but really picked up towards the middle. There were times I couldn‘t put it down, especially toward the ending. While the ending may have seemed a bit rushed for my liking, I think the author didn‘t wanted us to know too much about what is going to happen in the next book about Verity. This book has witches, vampires, and crazy puritans! Definitely check it out 🧛🏻♂️
Can I just say how proud I am of my local small town library!?! We‘ve never had serious librarians before, and only ever had old, outdated books. They rarely ever got new material, and the library suffered for it. We got a new librarian about a year ago and she is making MAJOR changes! She now gets all new, best selling books and is doing a library makeover! So proud of my small town library!
