#NANOWRIMO2016

I’m participating in this year’s National Novel Writing Month! This year, I won’t be sixteen days late, so that’s pretty exciting. I will get thirty days of writing bliss… or hell, depending on your perspective. I may be crying tears of distress or tears of joy, but either way, by the end of the month, I’ll (hopefully) have a completed novel. It’ll be a very rough draft, but at least it will be a…

I'm a day late with this one 😬 Oh well! Yesterday was day six of #octbookstagram & the prompt was love triangles ❤️ so I picked Anna and the French Kiss, even though is more like a love square... 🇫🇷 I love this book and its two companion novels! Have you read them? What did you think? 🇫🇷 #lovetriangle #france #annaandthefrenchkiss #stephanieperkins #bibliophile #books #bookish #booknerd #bookworm #bookdragon #ireadyalit #yalit #igreads #bookstagram #bookishfeatures

#octbookstagram Day Five: Book Maps! I always love when the front of a book is covered in a map.

Elephants are my spirit animal! Have you seen that video of the elephant trying to get in a tub of water? Yup, that's me, 'cause I'm clumsy and awkward, yet adorable (or so my boyfriend tells me). 🐘🐘🐘 #elephant #spiritanimal #livelaughbooksoctober #bibliophile #waterforelephants #saragruen #books #bookish #booknerd #bookworm #bookdragon #igreads #bookstagram

Books with faeries! And yes, I'm aware the main character is an LEP RECON (leprechaun) officer, not a faerie, but there's still faeries in the book. And it's awesome. 🍀 #octbookstagram #faerie #artemisfowl #eoincolfer #bibliophile #books #bookish #booknerd #bookworm #bookdragon #ireadyalit #igreads #bookstagram

Hello, Fall! And October TBR

Hello, Fall! And October TBR

October is here! And with it comes fallish things and cooler weather! I love this time of year. Skinny jeans, boots, and sweaters combine to make my favorite outfits. Plus, there’s something invigorating about the crisp, cool air. One of my favorite fall activities is to pick an audiobook or podcast to listen to while taking a long drive away from the city. Something about the drive, the audio,…

Day 3 of #lilbookishoctober is autumn book covers! Uprooted's cover is amazing. I can't wait to read it this month! 🍃 #uprooted #naominovik #bibliophile #books #bookish #booknerd #bookworm #bookdragon #ireadfantasy #fall #autumnbookcover #autumnbooks #igreads #bookstagram

For day two of my challenges I combined all three into one photo! 🎃 This is my first #socksunday post! Woo!🎃 Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has probably the most intense ending I've ever read. It's insane. And wonderful. (P.S. I love this book. However, it has some intense and graphic content and isn't for all audiences.) 🎃 My candle smells like pumpkins without being overwhelming and it's amazing. 🎃 #lilbookishoctober #octbookstagram #mostintenseending #livelaughbooksoctober #booksandcandles #bibliophile #books #bookish #booknerd #bookworm #bookdragon #igreads #bookstagram #thegirlwiththedragontattoo #stieglarsson

There are books that one reads over and over again, books that become part of the furniture of one’s mind and alter one’s whole attitude to life, books that one dips into but never reads through, books that reads at a single sitting and forgets a week later.

George Orwell (via bookmania)

Reblog if you still go to a public library on a regular basis and would be lost without it.
