My heart overflows. Everyday I'm reminded why I chose the teaching profession. I love how giving, loving, and understanding my Kinders are!! Can't wait to finish this last semester and be a teaching graduate! #KinderHearts #lovemyjob #MissTiff

I love when I preorder a book, forget about said book, then it pops up! 💙💙 #BRB #CurrentlyReading

Always a pro when family calls saying "your christmas present finally came in". Starting my new year right!. ? #AdamRuins #AdamConover #NewYearsEve2018

"My schnecke. My little snail."
Mariana Zapata makes my time at work breeze by like a great love story. #liquorstoreblues

I‘ve been feeling pretty down lately. My best friend moved to Arkansas, my other friend is married, and it just seems I‘m all alone.

I stumbled across this quote while reading today and a sense of calm settled over me. #DifferentRoads

“There can‘t be good living where there is not good drinking” -Ben Franklin. #LiquorStoreBlues #MarianaZapata #BookLove

Oh my goodness. If you‘ve ever wondered what would happen if someone would bring a dildo to a knife fight, then you should definitely read this book. 🤣😉
If you‘ve never wondered what would happen in such a situation, you should still read this book because now you want to know. 🤣😉 #KathleenBrooks #ForeverBluegrass

Say it again, louder for those in the back!! #preach #love #beautifulwords #truth

Nothing like Books and Booze. Nothing like getting paid to read. #LiquorStoreBlues

Today was a tough day, but i smiled a bit while reading the beautiful work of a Miss ReeseLynn. She has a beautiful blog! Y‘all should check it out! Seriously. https://reeselynn.wixsite.com/cranialbrainstorm

Super excited! Rereading the Winston Brothers series since the new book is coming out soon!!

❤️ this series!

It's a bittersweet day. I received my final CandleMail from SleepingCatCandles today. While the candles all smell amazing, it's officially over. I will miss the little Etsy store.

So many books - Just not enough time! 📚

With finals just around the corner, I've been drowning in a sea of educational texts and papers instead of swimming in a lake of fun reads. Counting down the days til I can #FunRead again 💜 #FourteenDays

Finally finished Harry Potter audio books! They were so good, but now what to read? Going back to my favorite series. #Keeneston 💜💜💜

The best part about audio books is how I can listen to them at work. 💜💜💜

The worst part of audio books is when I'm listening to them at work and start crying 😭😭😭 #LiquorStoreBlues

This was me tonight..... I started reading Hero by Lauren Rowe yesterday at approximately 11:30pm. I just finished it at 6:00am. Such a good book! So ready for the next book! Wish me luck today since I have to be at work by 9:00am......

Such wise words from such a wise man. B.Frank is one of my all time favorite people!

Hey guys! I was browsing the internet when I came upon this adorable blog. I read all of the posts and they are cute. I chatted with the author of the blog and she said it was pretty quiet. I want to change that! Please head over to her blog and check her out! *Don't tell her I sent you!

1. Kathleen Brooks Bluegrass series! It's a multigenerational series that just keeps giving!
2. Marie Force's Gansett Island series. After the first couple, I just lost interest.
3. I try to pass it on, but my bookish friends are few and far between. So I usually just shelve it for later.
4. I wish I belonged to an offline book club! But like I said, bookish friends are few and far between.

I'm in a reading slump. I just have no motivation to start anything. And when I do start something, I can't stick with it.

I need to read.

Help!!

I love listening to books when I'm driving, cleaning, and before bed.🎧📖 #harrypotter

During the day, I work with children who are finally at the age where they are starting to realize the Wonderful Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I'm am super excited to share my love for Harry Potter with the next generation of believers. ♥ #Ravenclaw #HarryPotter #BelieveToAchieve

Happy Valentines Day everyone! Pretty excited about my Bookish Haul today. #TreatYoSelf #SleepingCatCandles #PositiveVibesOnly

I find myself in a tough situation this Saturday night.... Getting paid to munch on my favorite snack, drinking warm tea, and reading my new book! I guess I'm just going to have to suffer here..... #LiquorStoreBlues

Just a couple words to get you through your Wednesday 😊📚♥

Showing up an hour and a half early to class means a little light reading in the truck #sorryNOTsorry ♥📚

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Honestly, I started this book to help climb out of the rut I was in. However, I couldn't put the book down. It was great. Lots of twists and turns.

Oh my goodness. I just stumbled upon this line from Meghan Quinn's "Twisted Twosome" and almost cried. How true is this?

Wow, the things I read at work..... #LiquorStoreBlues

Reading "Infraction", the sister book to Fraternizing by Rachel Van Dyken.

Is this the best way to spend my time at work...... #LiquorStoreBlues

Just finished this book! I was weary of it at first, but since it was free on KU (with free audio too!) I decided to finally give it a read. I was happily surprised by the plot, characters, and ending. It wasn't the typical "dumb jock" book you usually find nowadays. Definitely recommend it.

I will always adore this book.

If you love cheesy romances featuring a big strong man and a bunch of twists and turns, Maid for Love is for you!

Another day, another dollar, another book📚📚♥ #liquorstoreblues

Love my job! Where else can you at paid to read your favorite series over and over again? #LiquorStoreBlues ♥📚♥
