Birthday book haul 2! I am beyond grateful for all of this book birthday love. Tiffany D. Jackson is a favorite of mine and I will support every time. I was blown away when I learned Blood in The Water is in the young reader genre. I will definitely read this one soon to see why.
First round of birthday books and I‘m extremely appreciative! My work sister gets it as she‘s a book connoisseur too.
One teacher‘s trash is another teacher‘s treasure! I feel like I‘ve scored!
I‘ve been wanting to do @silentreadingpartyrva for years but Father Time never aligned for it to be possible. I didn‘t know what to expect but I also didn‘t know that this was what I needed until I needed it. The whole experience was a vibe! Reformatory far it feels as if Mrs. Due will either have me crying or ready to fight someone. Shoutout to my daughter from another momma for my special bookmark.
When your sister feeds into your obsession! She is a beauty and the photo doesn‘t do her justice.
She protected King of Ashes as if he were her baby! If you haven‘t snagged you a book sleeve from @dreamingofcelie you‘re missing out! #dreamingofceliebooksleeve #kingofashes #sacosbyauthor
But did it make you a bad person if you did a horrific thing for a good reason? Like saving your brothers life? Mr. Cosby I think you may have outdone yourself with this one.
This beauty has been on my TBR for quite sometime and baby please get you a sister who supports your obsession!
The minute I saw her I knew she was going to be a part of my collection! A reader can never have too many bookish things. SWIG did their thing on this one.
Imagine going to your doctor‘s appointment and leaving with a book. Who does that…me!! She and I not only discuss how I‘m feeling, we also discuss books and the latest book we‘re reading.
Library haul! And he was too excited about the bookmarks that he scored from my book bucket.
Today‘s choice of read by one of my scholars is a spooky scary one. She says she loves to feel the fear seeping from the pages. Me…not so much!
Independent Bookstore crawl still has my heart full. The sheer joy that books bring me is unexplainable and I can‘t wait to browse the shelves again!
My name is Renee Bailey and I am a Polygamist Reader! A Scent Story has these candle sayings that just speak to me every time. The scents are not over powering and adds just the right amount of ambiance to my reading experience.
I‘m unsure if The Lit Bar is on this platform or not but their date with a mystery book is a must! Isn‘t this the cutest. I almost don‘t want to open it.
There are so many things triggering about dating and the people in this book. Our Pearls pick will have a discussion that we won‘t forget as this book has many elements of men and women being trashy people!
The way I screamed when two of my scholars pulled their kindles out! We are automatic kindle besties and have been sharing book recommendations from day one! Shoutout to their amazing parents for fostering the love of reading and giving them the space to have their bookish moments.
A set of creepy books for my class shelves! I‘m filled with new found energy as we make our way to spring break.
Silent reading Monday‘s always gives me life! I love hearing what others are reading and what they feel about the book in that moment. Our TBR is massive but hey, we‘ll always have something to read!
It‘s been a long week but ending my Friday with a gift from one of my scholars had me doing the ugly cry!! 😭 This will be the second book that I have of this series to add to my class library.
I have a new found love of Legos and this cute library sucked me into looking for more bookish legos.
My we‘re about to be getting a snow day or two reading has begun! I love snow and central VA doesn‘t get enough for it to count.
HE has arrived! Mr. Everett has been on my radar for quite sometime and I‘m finally getting to see what the hype is all about. I‘m only 20 pages in but I already see that Mr. Everett will have me in a chokehold for the next few days.
I love reading in the go! It eases the stress of waiting and listening to the chatter of people. My favorite reading on the go spot is a local coffee shop, I get to read, grab a treat and of course a hot cup of tea! What‘s your favorite reading on the go spot?
I‘m in love with love! This is the cutest story and of course the bookstore adds an even better flare to storyline. Mrs. Tab…you Ma‘am are a genius! I love your mugs and so far all of your products have been a great staple in my home!
This holiday season has brought many smiles but the biggest smile came from my book besties who delivered bookish mail! I love y‘all!
Sipping from my Christmas teacup tonight and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Eve! Sipping Christmas Eve while watching Red One is a perfect way to settle in for the night.
Quiet time has arrived! Hot tea and finally diving back into Reel has me feeling relaxed, weepy and curious as to how this book will end.
Two more days before our official winter break and I cannot wait! Two whole weeks of reading sipping tea and napping. My partner in crime at work gave me the most precious gift…and it doesn‘t help that she‘s a fellow reader and buys just as many books as I do! Another amazing ornament added to my collection.
I am constantly impressed with my scholars and what they read. I have a front row seat window on their experiences with reading and how it changes them for the better. Teaching is hard…but the conversation about books and the way they light makes it all worthwhile.
My first Lucy Score read and the first page has reeled me in! I can‘t imagine walking into a store and see a sign with my name on it that says…Do not serve. I‘m only two chapters in and getting ready to settle into a cozy tea filled Saturday along with a cookie or two!
It doesn‘t get any tougher than this! The Bad Guys in the Baddest Day Ever by Aaron Blabey is now on my TBR and on my list to add to add to my classroom library.
I‘m not sure about this one…I love that awareness is being brought to the forefront about the missing Native American women, I‘m just not so sure this was the book for me to receive the message the author was trying to convey.
This little device is a game changer! Operation book database loading in 3. 2. 1….
Recovery has found me rereading this to refresh my memory and I must say it‘s even better the second time around. I always try to have 3-4 books in rotation…a physical book, audio and ebook.
Tiffany D. Jackson sure does know how to tell a story. I have figured out where Monday is yet but my gut has all the feels that something bad has happened. Six weeks of rest and recovery has me scrolling the book websites looking for more books as if I don‘t have bookcases full of books.
Welp…I have 4-6 weeks to read, binge watch tv and catch up on writing my Litsy letters. What are you guys currently reading?
Been home all week thanks to this girl named Covid and she almost took me out but sleeping, sipping hot tea and meds made reading this feel so good!!
Nearest Green has me intrigued…so much so I‘ve started to go down my own rabbit whole to look for information that has been mentioned in this book. A stormy Tuesday night also adds to the ambiance of my reading experience too!
Show us what you are reading this weekend! Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler July 20, 2024…IYKYK. Love & Whisky by Fawn Weaver…history not being told. #weekendreads @rachelsbrittain
Volume four. These two! This forbidden love affair me cheering them on. Hades and Persephone has me watching on the sidelines and cheering them on.
The most important opinion is what you think of yourself and how you live your life. —-Whoopi‘s mom
pickClutch. I‘m at a loss for words and this is rare. You had me at hello and Ruth deserved you and you deserved Ruth. To find love twice in a lifetime is nothing but God‘s grace! Well done Mrs. Fletcher Mello.
He was a voracious reader with a library card and a Kindle…sounds like my kind of guy! Clutch, I‘m just getting to know you but I have a feeling you‘re about to be my new book boyfriend. Rainy Saturday mornings are the best!
The revamping of my office/Library has been nostalgia to say the least. Pulling these off my shelf had me running down memory lane and feeling quite weepy as I reminisced about my baby boy shopping for books. The bookmark was the icing on the cake and I cannot wait for the time when that baby boy who is now 24 will shop for books with me again.
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Thank you! Your kindness and generosity is truly appreciated and uplifting more than you know. I am on summer break and cannot wait to dive into this one as I‘ve heard it‘s a doozy.
