💬 What are you #currentlyreading? . I started reading If You Come Softly by @jacqueline_woodson earlier, then decided to switch over to the audio version. I’m loving the two narrators, and this story is beautiful, powerful and touching. If you’re looking for a short read that packs a punch, this one is for you. . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ A lyrical story of star-crossed love perfect for readers of The Hate U Give, by National Ambassador for Children's Literature Jacqueline Woodson—now celebrating its twentieth anniversary, and including a new preface by the author Jeremiah feels good inside his own skin. That is, when he's in his own Brooklyn neighborhood. But now he's going to be attending a fancy prep school in Manhattan, and black teenage boys don't exactly fit in there. So it's a surprise when he meets Ellie the first week of school. In one frozen moment their eyes lock, and after that they know they fit together—even though she's Jewish and he's black. Their worlds are so different, but to them that's not what matters. Too bad the rest of the world has to get in their way. . . . h a s h t a g s ⇣ #ifyoucomesoftly #jacquelinewoodson #blackauthors #yacontemporary #yaromance #bibliophile #totalbooknerd #myreadinglife #lifestyleinspo #amreading #awakethelight #seekinspirecreate #bookstagram #bookphotography #yabookstagram #yabooks #bookworm #momentsofmine #audiobooksofinstagram #hyggestyle #mybeigelife #hyggehome https://www.instagram.com/p/CK2hsbrHCXY/?igshid=1c984tpdfq1vi

What are some of your retail weaknesses? 🎃 There are plenty of things I am weak for when it comes to shopping: cure baby clothes, candles, dresses with pockets ... and book sleeves. It doesn't help that I'm a rep for @loveyoumorestudio, so they keep me in a steady supply of new sleeves. Their Halloween designs did me in this year, and I got FIVE new ones ... bringing me to a total of nine Halloween sleeves from LYMS alone. (Swipe right to see this year's additions.) . . Good news for you & bad news for my wallet, they are releasing several new designs later today! Check their feed to see when the new sleeves go live in their shop & use my code NOVEL10 to save on all your orders! . . #loveyoumorestudio #freshfabricfriday #booksleeves #booksleeve #bookpages #bookishmerchfeatures #bookishmerch #bookhoarder #myreadinglife #ReadersofIG https://www.instagram.com/p/CF2ZaYCgw87/?igshid=1kgjqruqzvi5q

I’ve been so stressed out lately, and even my reading has started to reflect it... 😬 YOU ASKED FOR PERFECT is the best depiction of high school stress I’ve ever read, but it definitely gave me some flashbacks to my academic life (which might be making a resurgence in 2020...) 😬 I borrowed DARING GREATLY from my dear friend @stormandthesquat. But I’ve been putting off reading it because Brené’s words are too freaking real!! 😬 CHASING HILLARY was one I expected to like more than I actually did. It was interesting to learn more about the life of a political journalist, but I don’t feel like I understand the 2016 election on a deeper level or anything. 😬 Meanwhile, I’m working 6 days a week and just trying to stay sane. Anybody got self-care tips? 😬 #bookstagram #lifeunfiltered #myreadinglife #baristaproblems #notenoughcoffee #bookstack #books #booktography #yalit #nonfiction #brenebrown #nastywomen #nastywomenread #readersofig #iforgothowtoinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B2mX6JEAwYi/?igshid=5obaaju0q61l

💬 Do you enjoy watching crime dramas or documentaries on @netflix? . Watching crime shows has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. I recently finished reading Murder Board by @brianchristophershea and it definitely made me ready to watch one again. This procedural crime novel was fantastic and reminded me of why I love this genre so much. If you’re a fan of James Patterson and Michael Connelly, you will love this one! . If you have a law enforcement officer in your life (spouse, sibling, friend, etc.) and you’d like to learn more about what they go through mentally and emotionally on the job, I’d recommend reading Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement by Kevin M. Gilmartin. I definitely have a better insight after reading this, and it helped me to understand their mindset quite a bit more. . . . h a s h t a g s ⇣ #brianchristophershea #brianshea #murderboard #crimefiction #proceduralcrimedrama #fictionbooks #bookstagram #bookish #bookishlove #bibliophile #myreadinglife #alwaysreading #lilbookrec #bookrecommendation #aquietstyle #everysquareastory #readerlife #bookphotography #bookaesthetic #bookaddict #netflixandchill #netflixdocumentary https://www.instagram.com/p/CK1N1x_H671/?igshid=1bnhrmmla3flz

Happy Sunday friends! 🌷 What are you up to today? I'm finishing up my photos, doing some chores, and then yoga! . . In honor of #AprilBookstagram19, here's a little #meetthebookstagrammer for you (swipe right for a pic of me & the hubs from Easter, when I was rocking my bunny dress). Here's a little about me: . . 🌷 I'm Sara, and I live in the Portland, OR area, but I was born in CA and lived there until I was almost 18. . 🌷 I am a proud auntie to my niece Jocie, who is 3 and a half. . 🌷 I've been blogging in some form since 2008 (😱) and started my blog Novel Novice in January of 2010. . 🌷 I am a huge Disney fan and a huge Marvel fan; my favorite Disney character is Ariel. My favorite Marvel hero is Captain America. . 🌷 My all-time favorite books are the His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman . 🌷 I've been married for over 5 years now, but sometimes I still like to put on my wedding dress and wear it around the house just for funsies. Because it's a big poofy dress, and we need more occasions as adults to wear big poofy dresses. . 🌷 I was a performing arts kid all through middle & high school. I did theater, orchestra (violin), choir & even opera for a while. . . Now it's your turn! Tell me something fun about yourself in the comments! . .
