A new reading nook! This is where I'll be the rest of the weekend 📚📚📚

I LOVED this book!!! It was so heartwarming, fun, and beautifully illustrated! 😍😍😍

Diving into my next library book! 🌊🐉This one is giving me Studio Ghibli vibes 💙

I'm joining in on the #20in4 readathon and my goal is to enjoy a long weekend of reading (hopefully) 20 hours 📚📚📚

Thanks for hosting, @Andrew65

My #14books14weeks stack! Not pictured, but included, are Lost Roses and The Uncommoners, both of which are up very high on bookshelves 😄

Thanks for hosting, @TheHeartlandBookFairy 📚❤

This was somewhere between a so-so and a pick for me! I love how much I learned about butterflies, but I waffled back and forth with the author's writing style. On the one hand, the conversational style made it a really fast read and her enthusiasm was great, but I sometimes found the style and all the asides a little distracting and off-putting. Overall, a good read, though!

Feeling crummy today. Books, tea, and bed, here I come 📚🫖

This is what @curiouserandcurioser and I have been up to in between reading 🌺 This year's blooms so far! I'm looking forward to reading outside in the garden when we're all done 🥰

What a phenomenal book!! I'm so glad to have jumped back into the #naturalitsy group when I did so that I didn't miss out on reading this 💚 I'm definitely going to keep up-to-date on what's happening at Knepp!

Now, here's hoping I can finish The Language of Butterflies before the end of this month, so I can actually be reading June's book at the same time as the rest of the group 😂

@AllDebooks

All of my current library books 😊📚 With the reading slump I had, I fell behind on readalongs. I'm just about finished with Wilding and can't wait to read the tagged!!

The Indie Book Clock art print is available in my online bookshop!! 📚🕰

Grab one for yourself and consider it a reminder to grab a book and let yourself lose track of time in another fictional adventure!

Each book spine features a book by an indie author (+ a sneaky easter egg for my next book 😉)

These are some of the books that I currently have listed on PangoBooks, if anyone's interested! 📚

I submitted the cover for my new book, Chip and the Book of Rose Leaves, for a cover art contest! If you would please consider voting for it, it would really mean a lot! Thank you 😊

Hey everyone! Would you be willing to help me choose the next bookmark design for my shop? I would appreciate your help 💜 Thanks!

A new little nook for plants and books 🪴🐘📚

Was lucky enough to see this little guy hanging out on the lilacs 🦋🌸

#naturalitsy

It took me an absurdly long time to read this, but I enjoyed it very much! Now, on to another cup of tea and the next Dragonlance adventure 🐉💚

Another mystery to kick off my lazy weekend of reading and tea 📚🫖

🌹 Chip and the Book of Rose Leaves

Thank you to everyone who helped me celebrate the release of my new book, Chip & the Book of Rose Leaves, & the launch of my new website!

More than anything, I pray that this story helps you feel closer to Jesus & remember that God treasures every prayer we say 💜

You can explore my new online bookstore & you'll find my books & all sorts of bookish treasures 😊

www.2125Books.com

My new book is officially out in the world! 🥳

I chose the #NationalDayOfPrayer to release Chip because this story, along with being whimsical and full of adventure, is also about wondering whether God really hears or cares about our prayers at all.

If you or your kiddos have ever wondered that, I hope you'll grab a copy and read this story together.

There are 18 illustrations that you can color or just enjoy in black and white 🎨

⬇️

The Cerulean Drake is a fierce and loyal creature who makes an unexpected appearance in Chip's adventure 🔥

In 6 days, you can experience the adventure for yourself...

My book, Chip and the Book of Rose Leaves releases May 4th and you'll be able to get some bookish goodies, like this sticker, with your copy 🥰💙

A book, some tea, and me 📚🥰

I'm loving this book so much!

#naturalitsy

My reading has been really slow lately, but this was a nice, light mystery to help me start getting out of my reading slump. Who knew that, all this time, Nancy Drew was secretly a master trick rider? 😆

@CrowCAH I'm so sorry for taking a while to post this! Thank you so, so much for this lovely Jane Austen package! The chocolate was immediately devoured 😆 I'm really excited to read this book and the playing cards are so whimsical and fun! My plan for this weekend is to make tea, read, and put together this cute puzzle! Thank you again! It was a real bright spot 💜

Finding comfort in some good books tonight 📚

Not book related, but today, we had to say goodbye to our Maggie. It still doesn't feel real and I'm so lost and heartbroken right now 💔😔 She was the best puppy dog I could have ever had.

Diving into this one next. The last time I looked, it didn't have great reviews on Litsy, so I'm interested to see what I think of it!

What a wonderful story! It was so heartwarming and I love that it focused on Cassandra and her bond with Jane 💜

#pemberlittens

TA DA!!! Book Baby #2 has a book cover!!! 🥳🥳🥳

This is a springtime tale to color (it's full of illustrations that can be colored or I have digital coloring pages available on Etsy!)

I'm praying that God uses this story to reassure you that no tear falls unnoticed and no prayer goes unheard by Him 💜

What a good book! It's definitely a slow burn, but worth seeing through to the end. The last third of the book, things really picked up and brought everything together. I'll definitely be getting the next book in the series 😊

Thanks for starting this fun idea, @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks 💕

Want to give it a try?
@dabbe @hannah-leeloo

This was a great mystery, but I am absolutely not a fan of the cover with the creepy eyes 😳

@TheSpineView @Andrew65

@dabbe Thank you so much for your sweet cards and the adorable pin and bookmark 💚💚💚 I'll write back soon!

#LitsyLove

@TheAromaofBooks I forgot to post about this, but I got the pin and absolutely love it! Thank you so much 🥰

I'm really enjoying this one so far! Super excited that it's a trilogy 🥰

Another great mystery! 🔦💛📚

These are illustrations that I drew for my children's story, Chip and the Book of Rose Leaves (which is releasing May 4th!)

The owl's name is Nesbit and the cute little fox is Wilfred 🥰🦉🦊 I'll be releasing new coloring pages each week!

I enjoyed this mystery, as always! This one had some fun twists and turns 🔦💛

A lot of reviews that I see of this series tend to be very critical of it, but I think these are fun fantasy romps, and I'm enjoying revisiting them! On to book three 😊

My #botm came today 🥳📚 I'm really excited to read this one!

The last journal I'll share with everyone! This is a full-sized leather journal that I bought and then filled with artwork/ephemera over the last several months! I called it the "Dear Reader" junk journal ?

I also left pages blank so someone can journal in it or add artwork of their own ?

Anyway, just thought I would share these journals here! If you'd like to take a closer look at any of them, they're in my Etsy store!

2125books.etsy.com

This is my "flights of fancy" mini junk journal! ?? I also made this from recycled cardboard and paper that I made! Making these little journals has become a new favorite craft ?

2125books.etsy.com

I wanted to share a few of the journals I've made recently! This is my wise old owl mini junk journal 🦉 I used recycled cardboard and paper that I made! I'll share the other journals in separate posts for anyone who would like to see 😊

All of these are available in my Etsy store: 2125books.etsy.com

My #bookspin list for March!

@TheAromaofBooks

I enjoyed Sorcery of Thorns a lot! Nathaniel's snark made me laugh out loud multiple times and I really appreciated that the romance didn't overwhelm the rest of the plot. It was a fun adventure! Now, on to the next library book 📚
