My trend of using books in my holiday decorating continues 😆 Love my fall decor area 🍂🍁🥰

Starting a new book tonight that I bought at a used book sale. I saw “sweeping historical novel set amid the skyscrapers of 1890s Chicago” on the back cover and was instantly intrigued 🤓

I‘m proud of myself for not only finishing this book, but for also enjoying it! I love historical fiction about WWII, but am squeamish with really gory details. Well, this book is not for the squeamish, BUT I pushed through and am so glad I did 👍🏻 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 stars

I enjoyed my time with Ursula and the rest of the Todd Family in this book. At first the plot confused me, but then I really enjoyed it. Definitely haven‘t read anything like this before. Not one I‘d recommend to everyone, but I really liked it 👍🏻

Happy Halloween!!
Got my current read (the tagged book, not pictured), a glass of wine, and a big bowl of candy because we got 3” of SNOW today and the little trick or treaters are staying in 👻🕸🎃🍂❄️⛄️🎅🏼

My SCORE at the used book sale this weekend at my parent‘s library in Iowa. This “should” tide me over until Christmas... 😇

A must-read for all Disney fans!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5!! I learned so much and have a deeper appreciation for women in the animation world, it‘s been an uphill battle for them ❤️

I‘m not positive, but I‘m reading this as a “Doctor Who” reference and that makes me happy 😁
I‘m really enjoying “A God of Ruins”. When I was halfway thru I knew I had to read the campion book (“Life after Life”) so I borrowed it from my library👍🏻

My spooooooky books that are doubling as my only Halloween decorations right now 😆👻💀🧟‍♂️🦇🕷🕸🍂🍁

Oh, right. This is why I can‘t go to bookstores without a giftcard because I HAVE ZERO SELF-CONTROL!! Thank God for libraries 🙌🏻 One hold came in (tagged book) and 2 more jumped in my arms 😂 Happy Friday & Happy Reading everyone ❤️

A fun Halloween read! Bought this several months ago at a used book sale and I made myself resist reading it until October. Good decision, past me 👍🏻 Highly recommend this for a fun, fast, spooky read 🍂🍁🕸🕷🦇👻💀☠️

I loved this book so much! I was amazed at how much of a story was told in only 270ish pages and all in letters! The hubs and I have a Netflix date tonight to watch the movie ❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars

It‘s a #beerandbook sorta night #octoberfest🍺📚

Sunday evenings are for winding down with a new book and a glass of wine 👍🏻🍷📚

I finished this book, hooray! I almost bailed halfway, but I‘ve been doing that a lot lately so I told myself I needed to finish it. A solid 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 for me.

Haven‘t posted a pic of my newest read, so here ya go 😆 I‘m mixed about this book so far, I‘m almost halfway and I don‘t have a firm feeling about it. Some pages I want to put it down and move on, other pages I can‘t stop reading to see what happens. Too early to review it I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️

Home from my vacation in beautiful Door County, WI 🍒🧀🥨☀️🇸🇪 🍒🧀🥨☀️🇸🇪 🍒🧀🥨☀️🇸🇪
Bags are unpacked, laundry is started, wine has been poured and a new book has been started. Time for another glass because if I can‘t still be vacationing, at least I can be buzzed while watching the Iowa vs Iowa State game🤣 Go 🌪🌪🌪🌪

This was a fascinating book! I knew nothing about ‘Doctor Zhivago‘ before reading this, but I‘m going to read it now (I actually bought a used copy at the bookstore today). It deserves the recognition it‘s getting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Vacation Mode: Activated 👍🏻

Tomorrow is my hubs and I‘s 4 year wedding anniversary ❤️ He surprised me tonight with flowers & wine!!! This is a close up of one of the bottles. Does he know me or what?! 🤩🍷📚

IT CAME!! IT CAME!! IT CAME!! 🙌🏻🎉🙌🏻🎉🙌🏻

My vacation read is being delivered tomorrow!!! I don‘t expect it tomorrow, but that‘d be great!! I‘m going camping with my parents in a week and this sounds like a great read. Hoping I can resist starting it.....

When life has you feeling like: 😶, it‘s time to break out the P. G. Wodehouse for a dose of Jeeves and Bertie. I think this omnibus of 34 of their adventures will get me feeling more like: 🤩 real soon.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars!!! This books needs to be a required read for everyone! This one is going to stick with me for a long time and I don‘t mind one bit ❤️

The vacuuming is done, kitchen is cleaned up, and laundry is started so.... book break!! 📚🥤
This book is fascinating!! Tells the story of several women in Germany before, during (and I‘m assuming after?) Hitler‘s rise to power. The events I learned about in history classes are told from their perspectives on the street 👍🏻

Hmmm, what other leader is a “loud, angry man”? 🤔 Reading this paragraph gave me pause because a “vast number of people” still exist in 2019😔

I liked this book, I‘m glad I read it. I‘m not in the “it‘s the best book I‘ve ever read” team, but it‘s a good book 👍🏻 I‘d give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars

Some back deck reading and drinking at my parent‘s house. Not a shabby Saturday 👍🏻

‼️‼️I need some librarian help‼️‼️
I‘m looking into making a career change to become a librarian and hoping to talk with a current librarian who could answer some questions for me 😊

My latest library hold came in today, hooray!! This book in @BookPage you‘d be a fan of it if you like “funny fantasy authors like Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett”. Check & check!! Hope I like it 🤞🏼

This book gets all the stars!!! HOLY COW!! A thrilling ride from page 1 all the way to the end. Definitely recommend to any WWII fans out there and anybody who loves reading books about women kicking a$$ AND taking names. ⭐️ x 1,000,000!!!!

Summer Reading 🥰 (PS “The Huntress” by Kate Quinn is a fantastic page turner!! 50% done and I cannot put it down)

Been on my library‘s wait list since June, but this book is MINE now (well, for the next 3 weeks lol)

So, going to the library on Tuesdays is both a beautiful & dangerous thing 😇 (top one was a $1 at the library‘s used book shelf!!)

A great read! I wanted to chuck this book at the wall at one point (if you read it, you‘ll know the part) BUT it redeemed itself for me and I enjoyed the twists and turns. I get the ending, I don‘t love the ending, but I get it 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My Saturday morning summer tradition 🥰 Enjoying the cool breeze, sunshine, and somebody‘s rooster crowing in the distance (I‘m in the suburbs of Chicago, so that‘s fun 😂)

I really liked this ‘Downton Abbey‘-esque Book. A great summer read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Gotta love when you pick up a book 24 hours ago and you‘re already past page 100. The blurb on the cover says this is an “instant tonic for ‘Downton Abbey‘ withdrawals”. I‘m sold!

A decent read, I‘m having trouble picking my rating; either 3.5 or 4 stars out of 5. Probably not a re-read book for me, but it‘s a good read for any Fitzgerald fans or fans of 1920‘s society 👍🏻

A great read! I loved it and couldn‘t put it down. One thing I noticed was it‘s very heavy on dialogue, like several pages of just dialogue. This wasn‘t an issue at all, just an observation. I‘ll definitely read anything from this author in a heartbeat ❤️👍🏻

My favorite type of summer nights 😎🍷📚❤️

Another fascinating read from Erik Larson 👏🏻👍🏻

Kinda wished this book had a different title, seems a bit cringe-worthy to me 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ But the summary hooked me, so hoping the story redeems the title 🤞🏼

This was a very interesting read! I enjoyed learning about this aspect of WWII which is typically overlooked. Definitely recommended for any WWII fans and wine fans 👍🏻❤️🍷

I enjoyed this quick read. Not a top-ten favorite, but I certainly enjoyed my time with Miranda and her family & friends 😊🌟🌟🌟🌟/5 stars

You know why this book has a 100% rating on Litsy and 4.13 stars on Goodreads (based on over 1,100 reviews)? BECAUSE IT IS SO GREAT!! I loved this story and learning about ‘The Wizard of Oz‘; both the movie and the book. Read this ASAP! Do not pass go, do not collect $200. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This book ❤️

I‘m loving this charming book SO MUCH 💛🧡❤️

Haven‘t finished my current read, but couldn‘t wait to pick this up from my library 😍 Pictured with my stodgy banana bread (it tastes healthy so it better be!) and some of my thriving citronella plants (they‘re loving the rain and cool temps) #summer2019 #booksof2019
