Last month my dad brought 7 boxes of my old books to our new house, and I spent time unpacking them and deciding what to keep. For my #readathon today I‘m revisiting some of my favorite forgotten books from my childhood - ones that I haven‘t opened since I was young, starting with No Flying in the House by Betty Brock. (I‘ve re-read many books from my childhood before - Little House, Anne of Green Gables, etc. Today I‘m focusing on the others.)

We pulled out the sofa bed in the living room so I could have a cozier reading spot for the evening hours of #24in48

It‘s Saturday morning. It‘s 9 degrees Fahrenheit outside. I‘m in pajamas and (re)reading my first book of #24in48. Life is cozy today.

Christmas break reading. This Michigan library book has been to the Orlando airport and then on to England. I wonder where else it‘s been.

In need of some major comfort reading, so I‘m pulling out the big guns. And by big guns I mean the coziest book series of all time.

I have several old bookmarks from John Rollins Books - the first independent bookstore that I loved. It went out of business a long time ago, and I cherish these bookmarks as a reminder of the happy hours I spent roaming their bookshelves.

I ran 2.3 miles at sunrise, hiked 7 miles with the hubs, and swam 24 laps today. I‘m now eating pizza in bed with my book, a perfect cozy end to an active and wonderful (but exhausting!) day.

I‘m loving this audiobook (fits right into my arctic exploration obsession). And the narrator is great. I‘m curious though about the choice to use a male vocalist. The book is written by female. It‘s a piece of non-fiction, journalistic storytelling. It could be read by a male or female. But I‘m wondering why they chose a male. Is it that tales of adventure / exploration are still seen as masculine? Would men not want to listen to a female voice?

This audiobook is giving me so much decluttering inspiration! I have a three day weekend starting tomorrow and I can‘t wait to start cleaning and purging.

It is, of course, impossible to pick a favorite book. But this is the one that comes to mind most often and most frequently when I think of "favorite book" - so this absolute treasure of a novel will get the distinction today. #30DaysofReadathon

Snow Ooh this is one of my favorites too. I love how they always poured coffee even if they weren't going to drink it so they didn't feel too terrible about their situation. ❤️ 7y

I went into a bookstore this morning to see if they had the new issue of a magazine I like. They did not. I came out with these instead. I have a problem. (But it's a wonderful problem.)

saresmoore I have this problem, too. And this other problem in which someone posts about buying a book that you already wanted and then you want it even more... 😁 7y
chowmeyow @saresmoore hehe, there are so many bookish person problems! I suffer from that one often too. 😀 7y
