I‘ve picked up a new hobby! I now make and sell journals in my new Etsy shop. I‘ve been having a blast creating these! I rescue old books that would otherwise be thrown away, gut them, and turn them into something useful! I now get to share my journal love with the world! I just added these two mini notebooks to the shop - and everything is on sale this weekend! Http://pocketmermaidcrafts.etsy.com

This author came up with THE ultimate YA novel title. Everyone else can just go home now. All hail the victor! Get them a crown. 👑

Going to read a chunk of this before I have to start work this morning. Emanuela, the main character, is FIERCE. 🔥

I‘m hoping to finish up this stack of in-progress titles today. Jude, however, remains skeptical of my power-reading abilities. 🐱

I do love a good space adventure! 🚀

The next book up in my weekend Rainbow Book List binge-athon! I love the cover, and it matches my pretty purple book peeramid. 💜

I‘m moving onto an audiobook for a bit while I make breakfast and do some tidying! Loving this fiercely feminist book about a girl who wants to be a Knight at her medieval reenactment job.

I‘m planning on spending the whole weekend binge-reading for my duties on the Rainbow Book List Committee. I‘m starting off the morning with this mystery/thriller, #noescape. It‘s the latest in the #murdertrending series - but it‘s actually a prequel! I haven‘t read the other two books, but this stands on its own just fine.

STAY GOLD and BURN were so good! My next read is STATE OF US - just in time for American Independence Day!

I‘m going live on Facebook in a half an hour to chat queer YA with Teen Librarian Erin at Worcester Public Library. Join us if you can! #rainbowbookmonth #pridemonth #happypride #queerlit #yabooks #lgbtqteenfiction

Finished my audiobook and onto another! Just started “Stay Gold,” a coming-of-age love story about a trans boy going stealth at his new school and a cis cheerleader who has sworn off dating. Having a lot of fun with these characters and alternating POVs!

Current audiobook! I‘m really enjoying this original tale of an alternate history where dragons not only EXIST but its totes NORMAL. I had no idea what to expect from this book - and I still don‘t! Hoping to finish it up this morning while doing some chores.

Oh my goodness, it has been TWO months since I‘ve updated here! I miss it here. Since I‘ve been working from home, I‘ve taken over my library‘s Instagram account. That has zapped your all of my social media energy. But I‘ll be returning to work this week, and I want to get back into posting on my own accounts! // These are the books I bought for #BlackoutBestsellerList last week. CR “River of Royal Blood” and digging it! 🌪

This book is SO GOOD. It‘s get mystery, tech, and social justice commentary. What more could you ask for?

I‘m really loving this book! Alaine is hilarious!

Spending the evening with comics on Hoopla and a little purring cow on my lap. 🐮

Finally about to start this! I‘ve waited long enough!

I‘ve been putting off reading this graphic novel because I want to savor it. (Does anyone else ever do that?) But I think today is a great day to invite some rainbows into my life. 🌈

About to start this - after my coffee! ☕️

I just started this today, only about 75 pages in and it‘s not really grabbing me. Should I keep going or bail?

50 pages in and I‘m hooked already!

Craving a panini lol

Just finished this book and my heart is bursting with love! This is a beautiful, magical tale of two princesses in love. Lots of political intrigue, magical powers, shapeshifters, and a dragon! It‘s a sequel, but I think it stands alone pretty well. ❤️

Picked up some cool stuff at the local used bookstore! And whaddaya know, I didn‘t even mean to actually go IN there! 😅 I was just dropping off a box of books, but then felt bad when they told me they were running out of space. I did my best to help them out! 😆

Starting my first audiobook of the year!

I surpassed my goal of 200 books in September, but I couldn‘t quite make my stretch goal of 300. But that‘s going to be this year‘s Goodreads challenge goal! #readingchallenge #goodreadschallenge #goodreadsgoal

This was a great little read. I love this series.

My holiday book haul! 📚

Some #audiocoloring this icy afternoon!

I‘m home early from work today because of the snowstorm. Now is the perfect time and setting to get into this Yule book!

This book is so delightfully bizarre! 🤗

Sneaking in a little Thanksgiving reading before dinner.

Spending some quiet time this morning with my audio book and my kitty-cat. This book is not what I expected! Caleb is a powerful empath and absorbs other people‘s emotions... which makes high school suck even more. I‘m really enjoying this story!

❤️MY HEART❤️ I‘m adoring listening to this! I saw the show earlier this year and fell in love. My heart is exploding with how adorable and pure and wholesome Emma and Alyssa‘s love is. The novel fleshes out some plot points from the show, and the writing is as endearingly hilarious as the show. But this novel is its own thing. Love love love.

After helping my dad move last week, I‘ve unearthed my old “Griffin & Sabine” collection. I was going to get rid of them, but now I‘m having second thoughts!

My Halloween costume this year was The Princess in Black. I had so much fun saving the kingdom! 🖤

Just started this. I have no idea what it‘s about, so here goes nothing! 😂

I started this yesterday and was really surprised by how much I enjoyed it! The cover does not do it justice. I‘m excited to settle in and read more of it today. A perfect October read!

😍

Hey, Littens! After a month of not being able to touch a Tarot deck, I want to kick my practice up a notch. For the month of August, I‘m offering a free daily three-card reading. I‘ll do a personal reading for you and send you a PDF of my interpretation. I have a bunch of slots left at the end of the month, and you can book me here: https://jennamina.youcanbook.me/ Anyone interested? You can also follow my #Tarot Instagram at mystical_mermaidia

I picked up these books today while hanging with @Notafraidofwords at Barnes & Noble.

When I put my ex libris stamp in a book, it really starts to feel like mine. 🐱

Spending this “excessive heat warning” ⚠️ day in bed 🛌 with air conditioning 💨 and an audiobook. 🎧

All day I‘ve been looking forward to coming home from work so I can finish reading this fantastic book!

Well, I‘m sold already.

Starting this. Look at that beautiful cover! 😍

I need to do something about this! These are all the books on my “currently-reading” shelf on Goodreads! I hope to knock some of these out over the holiday.

Finally starting this!

If only I knew at 6-years-old that my childhood hero would still be my adulthood hero. 🌈🌈🌈

Wife and I decided to have a reading date for an hour. About to start this. She‘s reading “The Goldfinch.”
