November reading included finishing a lot of pre-s

November reading included finishing a lot of pre-started books, reading Stellarlune by Shannon Messenger with my girls to stay on top of plot theories, and discovering the gem that is Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan (Why did I wait so long to pick this up?! But also, a perfect read for the holiday season so...maybe perfect timing?)

I also finished knitting a scarf, planted 100 tulip bulbs, reconnected with a college friend, celebrated 9 years with my youngest daughter, and enjoyed Thanksgiving food and chatter with family.

Good-bye November, Hello December 🧡🤎💛❤️💚 What lovely things did you do in November? Looking forward to anything in particular in December?

I think Marbles has the right idea. I'm taking a break, too. Be back soon #bookstagram. Happy reading!

My daughter did a book report project to redesign

My daughter did a book report project to redesign the book cover for Owls in the Family by Farley Mowat. And while she did a great job on all the parts, her blurbs on the back (with their accompanying sources) were absolutely my favorite 😅.
.
.
My summary: A book about a boy trying to wrangle two pet owls much to the chagrin of the neighbors. A quick chapter book read with amusing pet shenanigans 😅
.

Have you read it? What other good books about pets do you recommend?

Library book sale for the win! One giant stack of books for $5.50 and supporting our local library ☺️

What's your favorite place to find used books? See any in this stack that I need to bump to the top of my #tbr ?

Of course since yesterday I mentioned how many boo

Of course since yesterday I mentioned how many books I have already started, today the two books I have waited months for from the library came in. 🤦‍♀️🙃#goodtiming #readerproblems

I'm super excited to start both of these though and they may help focus my reading a bit 🤞 Thanks to @shawntaye1 for the Stories from Tenants Downstairs recommendation and @livingbythepagewithnatalie for recommending I'll Show Myself Out.

The height of my #currentlyreading pile is directly proportional to the range of my moodiness.

Cozy weekend vibes and the next read for book club. Happy weekend ☺️

I have several books started, a few waiting on shelves, and a couple on hold at the library, but that didn't stop me from grabbing some free titles at our church's picnic on Sunday.

The best part of giveaway piles is you truly have no idea what you'll find. Most of these have a Christian angle to them and most are titles I'd never heard of. Looking forward to (eventually) reading these gems. Always good to step outside the algorithm 😄
.
.
But for now I should stick to the books I've already started 🙃 Maybe that'll be another #bookstack photo in the near future 🤔
.

Have you found any free books lately that you added to your reading list?

I had no intention to post a picture of the third

I had no intention to post a picture of the third Vish Puri mystery, but it matched the fall decor/vibes so here it is! Not my favorite of the three that I've read - I think because it relies on illusions and those are either hard to describe by writing or hard to follow by reading. Or maybe it's just me 😆
.

In any case, orange! Fall! Read books in fall! 🍁🍂🍁

Happy fall, ya'll!
