Soubhiville ❤️❤️❤️ great article! 5y
krismlars I actually feel a lot of pressure as The Book Friend. People ask me all the time, ‘Read any good books lately?‘, and I panic because I need to reference my spreadsheet first. And it‘s so difficult to recommend, because people ask for a general recommendation, when I need to have some background on what they like before I make suggestions. 5y
Tamra People never ask me. 😩 I am so lousy at remembering titles anyway. 5y

AmberWB I don‘t even wait on people to ask me. I either shove the book in their hands or write down the title and say “read this!” 😁 5y
ravenlee @krismlars there‘s a bit in Morley‘s Haunted Bookshop in which the shop owner explains that recommending books is like being a pharmacist - one must have all the information to give the right prescription! 5y
Lauram On Tuesdays, I get to chat about books and television with 2 work colleagues who are big readers. It‘s so fun! 5y

Stationary haul! ❤️🤗❤️

2019 rules because I am starting a new book journal. My other one is full up. It was a moleskine.

I decided for this new one to go with a LEUCHTTURM1917 master size with graph pages. Also picked up some new graphic liners, hi-lighters, brush pens and some cute AF washi tape...as well as a couple of inserts for my travellers notebook. 😍

I can't wait to start using it come the new year! 😊

Sarah83 Looks like great plans 😍🤩 6y
Moony Oh thats looks great. I hope, you'll show pics about your new book journal. 😍 6y

@Read4life here you go😁 I've tried one other reading journal but I didn't like it and stopped using it. This one is definitely my fave of the two, I'm on my second one🤣

DogMomIrene I decided to just track on Goodreads, but a few of my teacher friends buy the Erin Condren customizable planners. She may have options for notebooks. Or maybe check Etsy? 8y
Captivatedbybooks @ocdIrene oooo i didnt think of Etsy!! EC would be a bit more then im wiling to pay lol 8y
DogMomIrene Yeah, sometimes I look admiringly at those EC planners and then I remember their price tag. Pretty happy with the $20 I spent at Amazon.🙂 If you find something you like on Etsy, please share a picture. I'd be curious just for reference for future gifts.🤔 8y
DivineDiana I love this one from Amazon. Someone shared it here, and I had to have it! Well-Read Women: Portraits of Fiction's Most Beloved Heroines https://www.amazon.com/dp/1452114153/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_AIhPybXHWSC2P 8y
Captivatedbybooks @DivineDiana would you be able to email me or post a picture of the inside? I see it has good reviews on amazon but id like to see the format of what the pages look like. Is it just blank lines or does it say like book title start finish stuff like that. My emails jennyr0528@gmail.com if that's easier 8y

A friend gave me this to record books I love, books I want, etc. I'm using it to create my challenge lists for the year. I'm participating in the#goodreadschallenge #birthdaychallenge #litsya2z #goowilllibrarian challenge. My y BFF and I are going to do our own book club, where she and I pick books for 6 months - alternating months. I have all the books for the #readharderchallenge planned out and I'm 1/2 through the planning for #litsya2z

I don't find this odd at all. I call it passion! 😂😂

StephBengtson More books! My thing is that people see me reading at work and think that it's crazy or a super novelty! I thought reading was a normal activity. 🙄 8y
scripturient @StephBengtson Some people are just weird about this. We - readers, that is - are perfectly normal. 😉I'm lucky to work in a place where books are our job. 😃 8y

In honor of #nationalbookloversday here is my favorite series along with two of my favorite authors because it is virtually impossible for me to pick a favorite book! 🤓📚

Laalaleighh I've never read any Murakami, although Wind Up Bird Chronicle is sitting on my TBR shelf in my house. I should get on that. 8y
DiruVamp @Laalaleighh you totally should! While Wind Up Bird isn't my favorite he is amazing. He could publish a book about paint drying and it would be fantastic! 😜 8y
Laalaleighh @DiruVamp which one is your fave? 8y
See All 6 Comments
DiruVamp @Laalaleighh my fav is Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki but it has a lot of personal meaning for me. 1Q84 is a very close second and absolutely wonderful but it's also over 1300 pages LOL I always recommend Kafka on the Shore for a first time read. It's really really good! 8y
Laalaleighh @DiruVamp Kafka on the Shore it is!! 8y
DiruVamp @Laalaleighh awesome! I hope you like it! 8y

Now that I can't remember what books I've read five minutes after I finish them, I find some kind of record-keeping system really necessary. This is the one for me. It's kind of like the Tardis--not too big but surprisingly roomy inside.
