While I've collected most of my books due to loving history and information, I must admit, there's several I've gotten due to nostalgia.

#Two4Tuesday
1. My reading goal is 48 books. The last few years I've set it at that and it allows for wiggle room.
Hosting challenges #FoodandLit and #RiseUpReads

2. I don't have a specific book, but I've enjoyed reading the books I already own so I want to continue that

Texreader ♥️♥️♥️ and btw, I loved the Christmas card!! So adorable! 3mo

This was a great one to read at the end of the year to learn about voices I may not be familiar with and set me up for a really diverse reading year in 2025! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #diversebooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3mo

Another shameless attempt to import this Instagram trend to Litsy 🤣🤣

I just love making aesthetically pleasing pictures with my books!

These are all books about books 😊😇

Ruthiella Nothing wrong with doubling up your Litsy and Instagram pics! That‘s efficient. 👍 6mo
RaeLovesToRead @Ruthiella Once I've got it all lined up I might as well post it everywhere haha 😁😇 6mo

I love this idea. My 5 are somewhat obvious ones, but I can't help it. I love them. Make your list & share!

*“All this happened, more or less.“
*“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.”
*“The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.“

Quote from a one-nan show called "Bibliomania" by Roger Rosenblatt. The quote was in a coffee table book on libraries.

Adding my #LastTenBooks to the discussion. I couldn‘t finish King Lear when we read it in my college Shakespeare class, so I watched the movie adaptation over Christmas break 😬
I don‘t know that I‘ve ever lost or couldn‘t find a book that I own? My house is … small.

Thanks for posting! Fun.

I found the following circulating on a few book blogs & thought it would be fun to post here. #LastTenBooks I'd love to see your answers, too!
1)Last Book I Gave Up On:
Michael Wilson's “Girl In The Video.“ This is what I wrote in my reading journal: Just couldn't care anymore. Even if I had only 10 more pages. I could have lied & said that I finished it. This was lurking in the kindle graveyard & as King said, “sometimes dead is better.“
2 (CON)

vivastory 2)Last Book I Re-Reread:
Gaiman's Fragile Things (A favorite this year that I had originally read Oct. 2018)
3)Last Book I Bought:
Richard Swan's “The Justice Of Kings.“ (Bk 1 of a fantasy trilogy that I have heard high praises from booktubers that I trust)
4)Last Book I Said I Read But I Didn't:
I don't believe in guilty pleasures, so this one doesn't really apply
5)Last Book I Wrote In The Margins Of:
James Baldwin's “Price Of The Ticket“

(edited) 9mo
vivastory 6)Last Book I Had Signed:
I just received an order from B&N for Johnson's “Let's Go Play At The Adams“ signed by Grady Hendrix w/ a note “Enjoy the trauma“ Lol
7)Last Book I Lost
I have been in a mood for thrillers this week & while looking I could not find Raybourn's “Killers Of A Certain Age“
8) Last Book I Had To Replace
A few months ago I checked out a graphic novel that for the life of me I could not find when it was due, so I replaced it
(edited) 9mo
vivastory 9) Last Book I Argued Over:
I don't really argue over books. I see that different books serve various purposes for different readers at stages in their lives.
10)Last Book I Couldn't Find:
Y'all, I have been meaning to get a better organizational method in my library for awhile now but it will be a project that would make Marie Kondo cry. I think the last book I couldn't find was “Killers Of A Certain Age“ bc I'm not giving it up for lost lol
