Hippolyte's Island: An Illustrated Novel | Barbara Hodgson

Caught up on grad school work for the moment, so spending a relaxed Sunday morning with a turtle latte (extra shot, always 😆), some birthday cake bites, and returning to this book 📖

shortsarahrose @Bklover it‘s within walking distance from my house! Great when the weather is decent (it‘s sunny today!) and I need fresh air, coffee, and time with a book. 10mo

Hippolyte's Island: An Illustrated Novel | Barbara Hodgson

“With a tap of the compass and a slight nudge of the wheel to correct the course, he went below. The tight confines of the bunk could barely contain his broken dreams. He flung out his arm, a subconscious response to a vestigial desire invading his sleep, but instead of drawing a warm body to him, he slammed his hand against the side of the hull, and awoke in screaming pain.”

I only need to finish one more book to hit my Goodreads goal of 22. So what do I do? Pick up one of the books I‘m already reading to finish? No! I start reading one of the books I got yesterday 😆

Today‘s #BookHaul from Half Price Books - spending some of my Christmas money from my grandparents. Also went to Homegoods because I got a gift card from my Mom.

AnnCrystal HomeGoods! We 💝 that store! A great treasure hunt. Did you find any books? They're usually hidden and difficult to find. 11mo

shortsarahrose @AnnCrystal I saw some children‘s books at Homegoods, but I ended up spending my gift card on a chair for my cat and a cute pillow. 11mo

AnnCrystal @shortsarahrose 💕😻💝☺️👍. Lucky Kitty Cat 🐈💝!

HomeGoods does have a splendid pet department! I look at the pet supplies just for the cuteness of the items. Saw a doll (mannequin) cat scratcher once.

Their books are hidden throughout their store. A real hassle, really.

HomeGoods seems to have the cutest and prettiest pillows around...I always have to “avoid“ their pillow selection or I'd “discover“ another comfy cozy I just love 😂. (edited) 11mo

Confession: I bought this book only because it's filled with weird maps and peculiar illustrations of penguins and whales 🐳🐧 I'm sure in between those pages there is a decent story about an island...🌴#setonanisland @RealLifeReading

"His knowledge gave him the freedom to wander at will, to challenge the unknown, to lose himself."

You could easily replace "knowledge" with "books." ?
