#17booklove 💚 Day 27: Book + Drink I Love 💚 This was the only way I could get my overtired daughter to nap today. Thankfully I thought ahead and put a few things within easy reach. 💚 #twoweeksold #shamrockshake

howjessicareads Awww, cute little bundle. Juliet wouldn't nap unless touching me till she was a YEAR. I got a lot of reading done. 😂😂 8y
carrieroer @jess.how Normally I'd be freaking out about how I'm ruining her sleep habits and how I'm such a bad mom for letting the 4 year old watch cartoons ALL day, but I'm trying to justify it by realizing this could very well be my last baby. ☺ 8y
howjessicareads Eh, Penny is only 2 weeks!! @carrieroer just start feeling bad about the cartoons if it's still happening when she's 6 months. 😂 8y
carrieroer @jess.how 👍🏼👍🏼 8y

#17booklove ❤ Day 21: Love to Recommend ❤ I avoided this series for a long time because the covers turned me off! But once I finally started I couldn't stop. Now anyone who asks for YA recommendations hears about these -- they're in my top favorite books of all time. ❤

lauraodom One of my favorites as well! 8y

#17booklove ? Day 19: Book + beloved reading spot ? I don't know that I would call this my "beloved" reading spot, but it sure is where I do most of my reading these days! ☺? #readingspot #babynursery #kindlepaperwhite

#17booklove Day 10: Animal Love 💛 Usborne Beginners are so popular in our house! They're a fantastic way to encourage new readers to explore non-fiction. Few words per page, some illustrations, some real photographs, and 30+ titles to choose from! 💛 #raisingreaders #wahm #kidlit #animallove #ilovemyjob

howjessicareads Cute! I'll have to think about those for Ju in a while, bc she loves animals! 8y
carrieroer @jess.how Every time I place an order my girls each want to pick out a new one. 😊 There are also things like firefighters and planes and astronomy, and they're only $5 each! 8y

#17booklove Day 9: Memoir Love 💙 I haven't read many memoirs - I'm a fiction fan through and through - and I'm not even completely sure this one is technically a memoir. ☺ But I love reading about Tsh's experiences and practical advice (and I love her podcast!) 💙 #favoritebooks #booklove #bookstagram #kindlepaperwhite #memoirlove

#17booklove Day 7: Love to reread 💞 I know HP is probably cliche and common, but I am NOT a re-reader at ALL. I reread the series last summer, after having only read it for the first time a couple years ago. There really is something magical about this series. 💞 #booklove #bookstagram #favoritebooks

lauraodom I have re-read this series as well. It would have been my second pick. :-) 8y

#17booklove Day 6: Love to hate 🖤 Severus Snape is one of the most complex characters I've EVER come across in a book. I first read the HP series only a couple years ago, and re-read it last summer, and I still can never quite wrap my brain around whether to hate him or just feel bad for him. 🖤 #booklove #harrypotter #severussnape

tpixie I told my kids he's a perfect example of how not all bad people are evil. And Harry's father is a good example of how not all 'good people ' are not always nice and are bullies. Snape is a good example how we sometimes needa backstory to help explain how people are what they are. In not quite as sad way, another example of this is Britt-Marie in (edited) 8y

#17booklove Day 5: Fiction Love 💕 I snatched up this brand new boxed set of the Chronicles of Narnia for $10 at a garage sale when my kids were TINY. We finally read aloud the LWW last fall, when they were 6.5 & 4. They still talk about it. 💕 #booklove #bookstagram #favoritebooks #fictionlove #narnia

#17booklove Day 2: Picture Book Love 💕 We're blessed to have a local library with a huge children's area. Four rows like this are just for picture books! 💕

#17booklove Day 1: Author I love 💕 I've never met a Lynn Austin book I didn't thoroughly enjoy. Her historical fiction blends true events with fictional characters so seamlessly, and I've even learned a lot about lesser-known historical and biblical stories. 💕 I was SO sad to hear of Anna Dewdney's passing last year. Her rhymes, pictures, and take-away messages were ones I actually didn't mind reading to my kids over and over again. 💕

*joyful sigh...* Finally! I know everyone else has moved on to Stars Above, but my library is slow to get ebooks and they don't have the series in print. Excuse me while I ignore all my duties for the next two days.

lauraodom It's so lovely! 9y

Started this one over the weekend, it's been on my to-read list for awhile based on others recommendations. My Overdrive hold finally came available. I worked in a bookstore for 6 years! So fun!

jenniferdoyle Love this book! I don't usually re-read books, but this is one I will read again! 9y
Hsing3kinder I agree! Worth a reread & I love the audio :) 9y
