Digging it so far. 🔥👍🏼


Woo Hoo!

I‘m about a third of the way through this and it‘s really packing a punch. Lots to think about.

“There is incredible love in every word, as there must‘ve been in every movement of her hands, every nail she hammered. I am taken from this bleak and stormy Island to live for an afternoon among her snow gums, I imagine myself waking to the morning fog and the sun rising over the hills, the glorious view from her bedroom, and before I know it, I am in her bed, and then, accidentally, she is in this bed beside me.”

I read this a few months ago, but I hope many more people pick it up now. Recommend. 🇺🇦

This was a fun read. Lucy is at a not-so-great post in life and estranged from her only relative, a reclusive film star. She accepts a temporary job as a Bearer of Bad News, whose job description is not clearly defined. What results is a big adventure and (my favorite part) a look back in time at WWII Berlin and lost family treasure. It is light but also deals with some heavy topics. Recommend! Coming in late April.

Look at Barnes & Noble with the sassy social media! 🤣 Also, can totally relate to getting to the good part way too late in the evening.

I was influenced into buying the TikTok bookshelf. I love it! I‘m thankful my husband helped me (read: did it himself) put it together because it was complex. Thinking about getting another….its so nice that it doesn‘t have to go against a wall.

I am a book whore. I work at B&N and bring home something ALMOST EVERY SHIFT. It‘s a problem (but is it?). Here‘s today‘s haul, one of them is an ARC.
Pictures of my new bookshelf coming in a moment!

Worked at the bookstore all day, selling this hot title and now I‘m finally at home with it my own hands, ready to dig in!

Christmas book score! I love art heist/discovery/restitution stories.

Starting these today. I‘ll read the first chapter of each and see which pulls me in first.

Guess who got her hot little hands on an #ARC of Elin‘s last book (sob)?! Soooooo excited. I‘ll be up all night reading.

“The Ordinary Man has managed something extraordinary.” 💛 This touched me.

Wow. Fantasy is not my top genre, but I needed to know what all the fuss was about. And now I have drank the Kool-Aid. These are good. Just finished book 2 and I‘m starting book 3 immediately. My apologies to all of the books on my to be read pile. 😂

Merry Christmas and Happy #JolabokaflodSwap! Thank you @jdiehr for the awesome book and chocolate! And thanks to @MaleficentBookDragon for hosting this lovely Litsy tradition. 💛🎄🍾⭐️📚

*sigh of contentment*

This was exactly what I needed today! Got it at the library at 3-ish this afternoon and just finished it at 11:15!
Sweet, simple, and satisfying. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I never knew that I loved Nathaniel Hawthorne.

I hate to not finish a book, but I am bailing on this one. I don‘t see why there‘s a buzz about it. Really boring and nothing compelling me to go on. 👎🏻

Don‘t miss the fantastic #JolabokaflodSwap, organized by @MaleficentBookDragon ⭐️🎅🏼🧑🏼🎄
Sign ups are open until Nov. 19!

I‘ve been devouring the books on my iPad that I have from the library but decided that it‘s time to switch to a paper book while on vacation. Easier reading on the beach. I‘ve had this on my shelf for a while but never realized it was set in Positano which is one of my favorite destinations.

I'm going to give this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, but not because I loved it. I admire the story this author crafted and it upset me SO MUCH.
