“My mom told me once that money problems sort of sneak up on you. She said it’s like catching a cold. At first you just have a tickle in your throat, and then you have a headache, and then maybe you’re coughing a little. The next thing you know, you have a pile of Kleenexes around your bed and you’re hacking your lungs up.” - •Katherine Applegate, Crenshaw • • • I made it a goal to read all the Maud Hart Lovelace nominees this year. I’m more than halfway through and while there are many good ones, one has gotten me in all the feels. Awe, Crenshaw. This book. It went right to my heart and stayed there. Selling real estate, I see people every year who are losing their home. I read somewhere that over 60% of people who miss one payment never catch up and end up losing their home. Katherine Applegate is a brilliant writer and deserves all the love. Her books are touching, sad and hopeful at the same time and they touch such a deep part in the reader. • • • How beautiful is this display at @bnnorthtown ? The covers are so colorful and varied. Do you have any special reading goals this year? • • • • • • #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookobsessed #bookhoarder #maudhartlovelace #crenshaw #katherineapplegate #middlegrademonday #mgmonday #middlegradelit #middlegradebooks #mglit #mgbooks #booklover #coverlove #coverlove #bnnorthtown #bnmidwest
“Gold shimmered no matter what, but few people could make darkness glitter the way he did.” • -Stephanie Garber, Legendary • • • Do you have a book cover color that you can’t resist? Blue, and especially blue and gold book covers are my kryptonite. Throw in gold edges and 💸💸💸💸 • • • Did you hear Fairy Loot is doing a special edition Finale box? It is their first special edition box ever and I’m sure it will be epic. I’m torn because I want my covers to match and I already pre-ordered the UK version. I wish we could glimpse what makes the cover different before ordering to help with decision making. • • • • • • • • • #janbookstagram19 - new and old books - if my favorite series keep coming out with special anniversary editions like this City of Bones, my bank account is in big trouble. • • #janinbooks19 - time travel • • #lilbookishjanuary19 - fave author w/ 2019 release • • #allthebooksjan19 #bookreadhappyhour • • • • • • • • • #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookobsessed #bookhoarder #bookstagram #bookphoto #bookcover #coverlove #bluebooks #cityofbones #legendary #strangethedreamer #yabooks #yalit #yareads #youngadultbooks #ireadya #booklover #booknerdigans
“A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.” • -C.S. Lewis • • • I’m finally almost out of books for my bookshelf pattern and I will soon need to give up the semi-attempt at a pattern or come up with a 3rd style of photo. Most likely option is giving up the pattern... this is my incomplete series shelves (with the exception of The Princess Bride which I just thought looked pretty). If the series is finished, I don’t own all of them. Many have the final book coming out this year. I’m most excited for Finale! • • • Do you wait until a series is finished to read it or read each book as they come out and suffer the cliffhangers? • • • • • #finnfuryrevolution & #lilbookishjanuary19 - 2019 release excited for • • #fearyournoveljanuary - bookish resolutions - to complete all the series I own • • • • • #bibliophile #bookobsessed #bookhoarder #bookstagram #yabooks #yabookstagram #yalit #yareads #ireadya #fantasybooks #shelfie #bookshelf #bookshelfie #ilovetoread #booklover #coverlove #bookcover
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.” • -George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons • • • While I can’t quite manage to live 1000 lives in one year, I’m going to aim for living 104. The magic of audiobooks from the library will make this possible. Along with finishing off my TBR bookshelves. Unfortunately, there are SOOOOOO many good books and series finales coming out in 2019 so I can’t realistically make a resolution to not buy ANY books. However, I am prioritizing only purchasing ones to complete a series or special editions that may sell out and I’d have to pay through the nose for later (UK version of Finale for example). • • • What is your 2019 reading goal? • • • This works for almost all my attempted monthly challenges for the 3rd as it is both my goal and a resolution to read mostly from books I own. These are all my unread #owlcrate books 🙈 • • • #bookreadhappyhour #fearyournoveljanuary #allthebooksjan19 #janinbooks19 #booknerdsjan19 #finnfuryrevolution #janbookstagram19 • • • • • #bookstagram #readinggoals #bookphotography #bookobsessed #bookhoarder #bibliophile #yabooks #yalit #yareads #yabookstagram #bookspines #goodreadschallenge2019 #books
2018 was my biggest reading year ever due to a lot of audiobooks and a handful of intermediate and middle grade quick reads that I’m previewing for my kids. I exceeded my Goodreads goal of 52 so I set the goal at 80 for next year knowing ahead of time that I will be reading some middle grade arcs. Hope everyone enjoyed the first day of 2019!
