My first kettlebell workout is complete.
I‘m excited to keep up with that. It‘s something I can actually do in my little apartment. 😊

Now I‘m looking forward to getting back into Mother, Mother. 🖤

I think I‘m gonna start putting stickers on my book cart.
Here‘s the two adorable ones I started with 🤍🖤

Still reading this with this little cutie. 💜

My cozy little reading spot. 💕

I‘m enjoying this so far.
The writing is beautiful and is making me want to take my time while reading.

The beginning had me hooked, but about halfway through it got way less interesting and I just wanted to be done with it.

Lazy day. This should be a fairly quick read. ♥️

On to the next. 🧡

(Or not. It‘s nearly 3am😅)

I almost dnf‘d this one within the first chapter but I‘m glad I didn‘t. I enjoyed it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I almost DNF‘d this yesterday.
I was only 3 chapters in though.
I haven‘t read an entire book in one day in a LONG time.
I was truly captivated by this one. It was both heartbreaking and heartwarming.
4⭐️

Major trigger warnings if you‘re considering reading this though.

💚

I feel like I actually have the energy to read lately. And reading on my lunch breaks at work has helped a lot.
I‘m enjoying this.

I also started Be Not Far From Me awhile ago but I cannot seem to read two books at a time😅

New books are always nice. 💙

Current read.
I was going to watch this movie after binging Euphoria and remembered that I have the book.

I got a kitten. 😊
My siblings actually rescued her from the cold. She had a lid stuck on her head and her leg was also stuck in it.
The tip of one of her ears is frostbit and she has a scar on her foot but otherwise she‘s very happy and healthy.
It‘s been nice reading and cuddling with her.
She‘s so chill and so sweet. 💜
My fingers are crossed that she and my 4 year old cat will like each other though. 😬🤞🏻

Cozy night. 🎄🤍

I keep starting books and putting them back. Im hoping I‘ll stick with this one. I absolutely loved What Kind of Girl by Alyssa Sheinmel so I‘m hoping I‘ll love this one too. 🤞🏻💙

Saturday plans.

I think I‘m gonna start this one either tonight or tomorrow.

In the mood for a thriller. 🖤

Also, I really enjoyed Foul Is Fair. I didn‘t love it, but it was very entertaining. I‘m glad I read it.

A little reading during my lunch break. 💛

I really like this book so far. I needed something dark like this.

Currently reading The Mothers by Brit Bennett and also decided to visit the library. It's been so long.

So excited for these!

#libraryhaul #tbr 🤍

I've been in a reading slump for so long. It makes me so sad. I used to read so much and now it's something I rarely do. 😔

Luckily I'm already very much invested in this book. I'm only on page 13. So, fingers crossed that this will finally help me out of my slump.

I was ready to start reading this, but realized I'm too sleepy for any reading.

I'm looking forward to it though! I really loved "Every Last Word."

A picture from the other night.💜

Put in a hotel for a week (or more) because my bathroom had to be gutted due to a leak from the apartment above me. (Which has clearly been leaking for a very long time.)

I was like, sweet! Now I'll have plenty of time to read.

Nope. I'm still mostly distracted by my phone, having cable tv or my cat.😣

I love the look of old spooky books.🎃🤍

I can't have nice books because of my cat.

I've been more into audiobooks lately than I have my entire life.
It definitely passes the time at work and helps me get some reading in since I'm usually too tired to do any physical reading.🤍💙

Onto my 3rd audiobook of this month and as well as the year so far.

🤍❤🖤

Got some organizing and cleaning done today.
Unhauled a lot of books.
Played video games.
It's been a great day.

Getting some reading done with my cuddly girl.

Here are some books I bought over the past few months.🖤
I'm super excited for all of them.
Especially since I think I'm finally out of my reading slump.

It started off with only 3 dogs in bed with me tonight, now I have all 5.
Oh, the joys of dogsitting for my family.
They were giving me space earlier on in the night (as seen in the photo), but now I barely have any room. It's not comfortable. I'm losing sleep, but I hope they are at least enjoying the company.😂

Today wasn't a great day, but after a nap I feel a lot better.
I probably won't be able to sleep now, but that's okay. I'm really enjoying my book.
If I'm tired in the morning, it'll be worth it.

My new blanket and current read. 🖤

I went to two thrift stores yesterday and one of them had 2 books I've been wanting along with a "buy one, get one free" sale, so I got 4 books for around 2 dollars.
I also got a nice fuzzy new blanket which is in the washer right now. ?

I ordered from BookOutlet a few days before my birthday.
So happy belated birthday to me.💙💜
Work and my mental health have been kicking my butt. I felt like I deserved to treat myself.

#BookHaul #BookOutlet

I just started this one the other day. It's definitely interesting so far. I went into it without knowing anything about it.
💜

#CurrentlyReading

I went to a pop up bookshop & bag sale today! I didn't have much luck there so I went to a local bookstore to browse their used books after that.
I was super happy to find 3 Jodi Picoult books. 💙

#Bookhaul

I put a bookshelf in my room today. I haven't decorated my apartment much and I've lived here over 2 years.
My bookshelves were all in the second bedroom and looked super cluttered, so I switched things up a bit.

This book hurt me in ways I didn't think a book could. I almost stayed up late last night to finish it, but I had to put it down because of how emotional it was making me.
This may be my favorite book I've read this year. 💙

I think I'm gonna start making more of these. 💜

Watched a few booktubers tonight and it made me want to get lost in a book. 💙
I'm hating this reading slump I've been in.

I made another trip to the library.
This time with my grandpa and grandma. My grandpa is the only other reader in my family and is probably the reason I've always loved to read.
We got him a new library card and I showed him where the history section was and did my own thing.
I was having a panic attack the entire time, but I pushed through it the best that I could because I wanted my grandpa to take his time. 💜

Today was quite the day.
A rough day at work, but in the end it only made me feel stronger.
Then I spent some much needed time with my mom. We went shopping for birthday presents for my grandma. I got myself a new lamp for reading while I was at it. And we stopped at the dollar store and I got two new books as well.
I'm pooped, but I'm content.

🖤❤🖤

I'm almost finished with Dry by Neal and Jarrod Shusterman, so I decided to take my other books back that I never finished and get some new ones.
My own books have been severely neglected this year.

I've been in such a reading slump this year. It's been a hectic year full of challenges and changes.

3am.
I may not be able to sleep, but my cat is out.

I'm happy that this was the book that got me out of my reading slump.
Now I'm gonna either read Dry or The Last to Let Go.
❤

I'm not very far in, but I've been having a hard time putting this book down. 💙
