I‘m having a hard time getting into this one so far #uppercase #uppercasebox

jwashreads But the cover is beautiful! Tricksy design editors... 7y
Cfbriggs1 @jwashreads I know! I hope I start to like it better soon! I‘m only about 75 pages in. It‘s fine so far, just not as thrilling as blurbs made it out to be 😂 7y

This book captivated me from the very beginning. The writing style is very minimalist, which I actually appreciated (many books these days use too many words to get to the point). The end was beautiful, sad, and hopeful all at once. #botm

@MelAnn

1. Fountain pens (and other pens/stationery/notebooks)
2. Dust jacket. Used to prefer naked but I‘d always lose the dust jacket and over time this caused damage to my hardcover books even if hey just sat on the shelf (my first edition Harry Potter books are in bad shape because of this, unfortunately)
3. Amazon Book of the Month, Owlcrate

MelAnn I‘ve never found a happy median when it comes to the dust jacket covers for reasons you state here! 📖 Thanks so much for participating! 7y
Cfbriggs1 @MelAnn haha yeah it‘s a toughie! Thanks for making it! 7y

Such a cute read that kept me up late at night. I fell in love with the main character and his quirks, though Rosie herself often pissed me off. I enjoyed the mystery surrounding who the father was. #therosieproject ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Fraction of a live lobster 😂. This book is hilarious. Meanwhile I think my husband is wishing I would stop interrupting his video game to read him funny passages from this book 😂 #lol #comedy #sheldoncooper

Who knew I was wasting so much time by being early to everything 😂 #formermusicmajor

JackOBotts Same! But I loathe being late...being early = more time to read! 7y
Cfbriggs1 @JackOBotts I agree! Whenever I‘m early to something I generally set an alarm on my phone and read in my car. I‘m often up to 45 minutes early just so I can do this 😂 (edited) 7y

Finished this book just now and I‘m trying really hard not to cry. This wasn‘t really a book I loved but at the same tome I couldn‘t put it down. It was both tragic and yet had a somewhat happy ending, depending on how you look at it. I don‘t really know how to put my feelings about this book into words but it‘s definitely a good read. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

mrozzz Lovely review. Gotta get to this one. Btw that looks like quite the fluff pile. 😍 7y

Eagerly awaiting my #BOTM box that has been stuck in IL (I‘m in Michigan....SO CLOSE) for TWO DAYS and counting! Come on I want my books 😂😂. Anyone else get frustrated with super slow BOTM shipping?

The_Heeler_Booklife Mine takes about 9-10 days to always get to me. 7y
Cfbriggs1 @allthingskayla oof! I don‘t understand when shipping takes that long! 7y
The_Heeler_Booklife @Cfbriggs1 it sits forever in places. If it would not sit around, then it would have been here at least 2-3 days ago. 7y

Lovesbooks87 I live an hour away from where the books ship and it normally takes 5-6 days to get to me. I don't get why it takes so long either! 7y
Cfbriggs1 @allthingskayla I guess it‘s the “price” for free shipping haha 7y

Cfbriggs1 @Kaye haha we didn‘t realize till later that we happen to name all our pets names ending in “a” 😂. I loved Colorado and would love to move back. Nebraska and NC are where family are so it‘s always really nice to visit. TX had the best food 😂 7y
Kaye My dad had a job offer in Colorado when I was 15. Our family took a vote . 4 people, it was 5/ 2. My mother got 2 votes, so we never went. Never been to Nebraska, N C is beautiful. Daughter and family are in the army in TX but soon to move back home. 7y
Cfbriggs1 @Kaye my husband is in the Army, which is why we are always on the move (edited) 7y
Kaye Yep, they‘ve been in for 20 + years. Lots of moves. 7y
alisiakae Where did you live in NC? I moved to Charlotte about 7 years ago. (Prev lived in PA, MD, WA, NJ, and Australia). 7y
