pickI‘ve always felt like I related to Anna Kendrick on a lot of levels (like spirit animal levels) & reading this book has only proven that she really is my spirit animal. Maybe it‘s because we‘re both from New England & are brutally honest & say it‘s part of our charm??? Who knows. Either way, Scrappy Little Nobody makes you feel less alone in the world & every one should read it. #scrappylittlenobodies
BOOKSHELF UPDATE!!! While just about everyone was doing #24in48, I was redoing my bookshelves (& putting together new ones) to make more room for books. BUT I filled the shelves with the books I already had that were in stacks on the floor... #bookwormproblems #defineproblem
On this day in 1817, the world said goodbye to one of it's most influential writers, Miss Jane Austen. I couldn't let today go by without acknowleding the influence she's had on literature & on my life. Thank you for thinking the things you thought, for writing the things you wrote, & for being everything you were, unapologetically. I could not imagine my little library without your books. #200years #janeausten

pickIf you're like me & you need more of a "get-your-shit-together-what-the-f%#*-are-you-doing-tough-love" kind of book, this is it. I didn't realize how much I had my shit together in some parts & how much I didn't have my shit together in others. This book helped me strategize, focus, & commit to getting a better job & prioritizing my love of yoga as necessary "me time". It was everything I could have asked for and then some. Thank you, Sarah Knight

"Winning happens when you translate dreams into action and your actions change your reality. It's living YOUR best life, not denying anyone else theirs, and/or being an insufferable prick on the order of one Mr. Carlos Irwin Estévez." --on how to win at life without being an insufferable prick ; 29 pages in & this book is more amazing than I ever could have hoped for.
Home with a killer cold. Gonna start reading this one & hope I don't fall asleep mid-reading. 🙃😷🤧
"They'd met during a lap dance. It was a true LA love story." ? This book is non-stop laughs & I cannot put it down!!
My lovely littens, I have a confession to make. I have been in a wicked reading slump & this is my first book of the new year. On a much brighter note: Thank you Anna Kendrick for writing a hilarious book that is beyond relatable for this New England Irish girl. & for pulling me out of my reading slump.
When Penguin Random House went savage on the POTUS, without mentioning said name, on my Pinterest feed. 😈 I don't normally put political things on here but this one was too good not to show you guys. In recent political/environmental events, my heart's been feeling a little heavy. It's comforting to know so many humans, & companies, are all feeling the same way. #yaybooks #humilityanddecorumarestillsexy
Mini Book Haul: "The Natural Home Remedies Guide" by Karen Sullivan & "Growing Christmas Trees" by Patrick White & Lewis Hill. My dream is to live on a Christmas Tree Farm & have a temperature regulated greenhouse, the North gets pretty chilly. I can't even begin to explain how excited I was to find these two books in Barnes & Noble. Made my night! ???????
I'm a little over 1/4 of the way through the book & this is the perfect weather to bringe read in!! ❄️⛄️📚
I listened to the soundtrack for season 2 of the Outlander show & after a week of starting a new job & Christmas craziness, I cannot wait to pick this up & binge read!
The best thing about shopping small is you get to know the owners of the shops. Blue Umbrella Books is hands-down one of my favorite spots to buy from. I mentioned to the owner that I was looking for a book about Vlad the Impaler & the whole Dracula thing & as soon as she found something she thought I'd like, she sent me an email with this book. Can't wait to dig into it! #shopsmall #getindie #bosswomen #theyreonIG
Confession time! I put this book down for a few months & by few I mean like 5ish months. Today I picked it back up & now I don't know why I ever put it down. Does this happen to anyone else???? #Outlander #ReadingProblems
pickTina Fey is a boss in every sense of the word. This book was completely amazing & I loved every syllable of it.
Hello my little book family! I'm in need of some help! Recently I've fallen in love with the show "Vikings" on History Channel & I'm looking for books of Viking voyages or mythology or really anything. Any suggestions?????
The US is a hurting unit right now & in the wake of it all, I need an escape & some humor & some waffles. #lunchbreakescape
pickThis is an amazing book & every human does, indeed, need to read it. Amy Poehler is hysterical, intelligent, & real. She is easy to relate to & it makes the book feel like home. It definitely came to me at the right time. Amy Poehler, thank you for existing in this crazy world & making it a little bit funnier one sketch at a time. #UCB #SNL #ParksAndRec #BabyMama #Sisters
"It's easier to be brave when you're not alone." Amy Poehler speaking the truest of thruths. I'm really starting to think that every human needs to read this book.
In October I usually read creepy/thriller books. I took a little break because Amy Poehler. #ParksAndRecForever
pickThis is the first book in a long time to really pull me in & make me want to continue reading. Every day I wanted to know more. The pictures are amazing, the story is everything good in the world, & the ending is best ending I've read in a long time. I could go on but I'm going to leave it at this. #RIP #somuchbooklove
bailedAnother book I started & haven't picked up in a few months. It's a really cute coffee table book but not a novel kind of read.
bailedI'll be honest, I haven't picked this up in a few months. It's very similar to Song of Ireland so I kinda feel like I'm rereading a book. Not necessarily a bad thing but I'm trying to read other things too. I'll probably come back to it though!
My favorite bookstore a few cities over from mine Blue Umbrella Books. They're an awesome little bookstore that sells used books. They also host author events & bookclubs. You can find them on IG too! #getindie
"But just then, for that fraction of time, it seems as though all things are possible." I encourage everyone to read this book. Yes there is a scene where he hits her. No I do not agree with it even though it is historically accurate. There are so many more things to take out of this series. Diana Gabaldon did such an insanely amazing job & I have so much love for this book. ❤️

Finally have my hands on a copy of the book & these 3 awesome bookmark/gift cards!! 😍🎉
pickTruly such an amazing piece of work. There are more details about life after Lizzy & Darcy were married, which was really awesome. As a reader, you get to know Darcy more intimately. Such an amazing book!
"But Darcy's resolve to maintain a distance from his feelings of passion & attachment to Elizabeth Bennet had proved to be unsuccessful." ❤️
I just started reading this book & I'm already in love! It makes me love "Pride & Prejudice" that much more.
So excited to read "Go Set a Watchman"!! I've heard mixed reviews but "To Kill a Mockingbird" is such a classic, I can only hope this one is too! ?
"Honestly, am I the only person who's ever bothered to read "Hogwarts, A History"?" -Hermione Granger
pickAnyone who has read "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Brontë NEEDS to read this book. Really, anyone & everyone needs to read it. Rhys explores a whole new world that is complex & mystical, while providing a whole new understanding of "Bertha". I have so much love for this book. It's truly a work of art.
