Late to the party but glad I finally made it! Love this one... reminds me a bit of Guardians of the Galaxy ❤️

“How do we become who we are in the world? We ask the world to teach us. But we have to ask with an open heart, with no idea what the answer will be.” ❤️

This beautiful memoir resonates with me in so many ways... I am so thankful to have read this when I did.

“The kind of pastry a man could come up with on short notice- and with a dead body in the house - said a great deal about him.” 😂

Thanks to the hosts of the Get Booked podcast from @bookriot I have added romance reads to my wheelhouse! This one had a strong heroine and was set in a bakery in Los Angeles... how does it get better? ❤️

My #summertbr stacks... summer break is in full swing and I couldn‘t be happier to have these to dive into. ❤️

My amazing sister, and fellow murderino, surprised me with this must-read! ❤️ So excited!

The spring #booked2019 revealed some great reads... my favorite the haunting tagged book 💔

This is so my jam... gritty detective fiction featuring a strong sense of place... Miami in this case 👍🏻

❤️

Any other Sherlock fans? I‘ve read the canon and have loved these retellings, including the tagged book. Could anyone recommend others, series or stand alones? ❤️📚

“Sometimes you can do everything right and things will still go wrong. The key is to never stop doing right.” 💔

Finished Bryson‘s wry memoir for a bingo 😊 May try for a blackout now... #nonfiction2019 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa

“As night embraced Botswana, the red glow in the sky faded, yet still seemed to be there, somehow, well after it had gone.”

Home resting with my furry boy, after trips to the vet to get his back pain controlled... somehow this quiet series helps me feel a bit better ❤️

Oh, this was a good one. Tight crime fiction writing with compelling characters... I hope this will be a series! 👍🏻❤️

“...second guessing wasn‘t allowed. It didn‘t matter where you‘d been - only where you now planned to go.”
I‘m working on sustaining a gratitude practice this year, and this book was a great place to start. ❤️

Happy New Year! 🎉📚
Last year, I completed the Book Riot Read Harder challenge for the first time and was thrilled to see this journal for the 2019 challenge... let‘s do this! ❤️

Cookies baking... tree lights blinking... my perfect boy napping... Christmas joy ❤️🐶🎄

Unexpected #bookandblankie time.... this guy had a long morning at the vet, so we are resting and snuggling today. 💜💛 🐶

Just started... already feeling a little broken 💔 The writing is beautiful.

“The power of just mercy is that it belongs to the undeserving. It‘s when mercy is least expected that it‘s most potent...” 💔

Yessss 🦖

A great summer read that features one of the best breakout sequences EVER. ❤️👍🏻😂

So excited to find these books at Disneyland ❤️

This creepy good read is set about 30 minutes away from where I grew up... hit a little too close to home (pun intended) and is now in the freezer 😳 #riotgrams #setinyourcitystateorcountry

Finally found my perfect home in a crazy Pacific NW housing market... now it‘s time to finish packing books!
So. Many. Books.📚

“That f$&& Flowers” ... Funny, fast-paced series... perfect for a spring break binge read 👍🏻

One beautiful bloom for the #floralcovers challenge #riotframs

If I could take #abookonadate back to this amazing restaurant in Grants Pass, Oregon... it would mean summer had returned and I was back on a road trip 💕☀️🚗 #riotgrams

❤️💕❤️ #fairytales # riotgrams

“Do you believe in Magic?” asked Colin... “ I do hope you do.” ❤️💐 #panelspicturesillustrations #riotgrams

Love these #oversizedbooks #riotgrams

“Power makes you approach. Powerlessness makes you avoid.” #selfhelp #riotgrams

I would love to see both of these! 🎥#bookthatshouldbeadapted #riotgrams

Perfect read for a surprise snow day ❄️

This was one of the first of Robinson‘s novels that I read and now it‘s one of my favorite crime series. #badcovers #riotgrams

Love the quiet beauty of this novel #writing #riotgrams

My third grade teacher read this to our class, but summer arrived before she could finish. My book-loving grandma helped me order a copy from her bookstore... it arrived towards the end of the summer... so worth the wait! ❤️ #favoriteschoolread #riotgrams

“...I have been writing while listening to the singular and beautiful music of the late Israel Kamakawiwo‘ole.” From the authors note ❤️ #music #riotgrams

When my sister joined the HP craze, I happily loaned her my beloved books only to realize Book 4 was missing! I have NO IDEA who borrowed it... very unlike me. But all is well... purchased a replacement and no longer need the #unreturnedbook 😂👍🏼 #riotgrams

This copy has made it through every move since college... still one of the most powerful books I‘ve ever read. #blackhistory #riotgrams

San Diego + noir = my #hotread ☀️ #riotgrams

All the 💕 #hearts to my grandma, for passing on her love of reading to my dad and me. #riotgrams

My kind of #leadinglady... she wants to be a knight. #riotgrams
