This was cute and interesting. Not a 5 star read, but it did have some really great thoughts on raising children and having children and what goes into being a parent. I really enjoyed the characters and the way they came together in this through their differences, etc. I definitely thought this was a fun book to read!

This was a sweet, simple book about life‘s not so simple decisions. At 39, Leona is single and living in her sister‘s basement. She begins to question where her life is going after a talk with her doctor who reminds her if she wants kids, she better decide soon. The rest of the story revolves around this decision and the quirky characters that help her decide. The sister really bothered me and the story was a bit uneven, but still, a good read.

Book inspiration or hair color inspiration?? I'm so attracted to bright book covers for the summer months. These books are fun reads that I highly recommend for the summer!

Even though this platform is just basically Instagram and Goodreads combined, and I'm decently active on both, I'm still kinda having a hard time trying to figure things out here. But nonetheless, I think this is such a great place for all us to get fresh air and restart though I know we're not leaving Booksta! 😂

Anyways, I loved this book! Have you read it? What are your thoughts?

kath_reads Love this book! 🙌🏼 One of my favorite reads last year. I can relate to the MC so much. 😊 And yes, we're not leaving IG no matter what. 😉 7y

Hanging out reading in the lodge while the family skiis on this 65 degree February day in New England!

Reviewsbylola I like the way you do things. I would be in the lodge too! 8y
Valink @Reviewsbylola - skiing is too hard on my body lately, so relaxing in the lodge is more my speed! I would just stay home, but I do enjoy watching my son snowboard! 8y

Gearing up for Valentine's Day ❤️💕❣️💞

I know there are a lot of people who don't like this holiday, but I have always loved it. Every year growing up my mom would make us a giant sugar cookie with our name on it and all her love was baked into the cookie. It was always my favorite Valentine.

Ever since I moved out of the house I have been following my mom's tradition of giant heart cookies with names and today is baking day ❤️

CocoReads Sweet tradition! I'm not a Valentine hater, but I don't love it either. I guess you could say I'm mostly indifferent. 8y
Bostonmomx2 What a wonderful memory she gave you ❤ 8y

Finished this in 2016, so not adding it to my #litsyAtoZ challenge. This was a book that I got in my #onceuponabookclub subscription box. I like that I'm presented with books that I wouldn't normally read, and then am motivated to read them to open the presents associated with page numbers. I did like this book. It was a easy, light, quick read. Sort of like candy 🍭🍬🍭🍬🍭, empty calories, but so good.

This was my first Nyhan book (special thanks to Once Upon A Book Club for sending me their November Box) and I was very impressed. I loved her style of writing. This is a fun and engaging story with relatable characters. Higly recommended. Actual Rating: 4.5 out of 5

Http://onceuponabookclub.com has just shipped their December boxes ???and given the hint for January's box - "Life, a Willow Tree, and a Dash of Magic." And its a yet to be released title. It sounds fantastic and I cannot wait for it!

December boxes are sold out, but they do have a few November boxes still available that you can buy as one off items from their shop. (Nov. box pictured above)

This is just way more fun even than I thought it'd be! I read about a wispy purple scarf, and then I open a package containing A WISPY PURPLE SCARF. It feels like magic! ☄🎁

#OnceUponaBookClub #LitsyFeature

BraveNewBooks @Jhullie you asked me to let you know how it went for me, so here goes: (1) the book was decent, though not something I'd likely have chosen on my own. (2) I experienced so much excitement and delight from the packages matching the text that I surprised myself, even though I'll likely give away most of the contents. (3) I re-upped for six months after this one-month trial, so that probably speaks for itself! How did you like Bookish Box? 8y
Jhullie I love my Bookish Box, I have lots of bookish things around my house now: Candles, jars, necklaces, scarves, butter beer products like lip balm and bath salts (great air freshener for the car by the way), prints and bookmarks and the t-shirts are amazing. I wasn't sure about getting a book I might not like with the other one but it does sound like fun. (edited) 8y

My first Once Upon a Book Club box! It comes with a handful of packages that coordinate with the story, so you open each one when you get to the corresponding page! Isn't that the best idea?
📚📚🎁🎁😁

Jhullie I very nearly subscribed to this one but chose the Bookish Box instead. Let me know how you go with it please 📘🎁 8y

MaleficentBookDragon This club sounds so cool. I just ordered a box to try out as a birthday present for myself. I'm excited to get it! 8y

Donna_sBookMinute Oh, now I get it! What a novel ? concept. Such a cute idea. But I have read posts saying some of the contents weren't "worth it." I'm gonna still check it out, though -- because who doesn't like opening surprises? 8y
Donna_sBookMinute Okay, I'm back. I visited the website and read a blog review. Like I said before, it's a really cute idea. But when I weigh how many books (of my choosing) I can have for $34.99 💳each and every month -- I don't part 💸with my hard-earned money that easily. I already have a problem with clutter 🛡🕯📿🗝and don't need to be a part of something that will only add to it. And do members vote on upcoming titles, or does the entity select titles? 8y
BraveNewBooks @Donna_sBookMinute I hear you! I had similar concerns, so I did a one-month thing to try it rather than a subscription. What I learned was that I got a huge kick out of the items coordinating with the story, even if they aren't things I'll keep. Would you like to give it a whirl? I could rewrap the items and send this one your way if you wanted, for like $15 or so to cover shipping? That way you could see if it's enjoyable for you. 8y
Donna_sBookMinute @BraveNewBooks, it sounds like it could be fun with a title I was already planning to read and if I could opt out of books that don't appeal to me. Thanks for your generous offer, though. 😊 8y

Http://onceuponabookclub.com is hands down the best women's literature box out there! I love it so much and it's such a fun immersive experience opening presents from the book while you read. I would highly suggest getting yourself a box. (Here is a little bit better of an idea how the reading goes ?)

If you're thinking about subscribing use code "NOVELPAIRING" for 10% off your first box.

Maike That's a super cute idea! 8y
Gissy I love this subscription for the same reason! Until now I like the books they had chosen! 📚😍 8y

Here is my November's http://onceuponabookclub.com partial unboxing (presents still wrapped to avoid spoilers) ?

If you haven't heard about Once Upon a Book Club box you are seriously missing out. It's a women's lit subscription box that is a fantastic, immersive, experience where you read a book and open presents as you read that correspond directly to the text.

Use code "NOVELPAIRING" for 10% off your first box.

Meet Haiden, Penelope, Roman, and Marlo Mae (the puppy). They are my reading buddies and also happen to be why I don't get to read as much as I used to. But for now I wouldn't have it any other way.

#picadaynov16 #picadaynov24 #adaylate #sothankful #thankfulfor I am a day late BUT...
I am so thankful for my ability to read, the extra money I have to buy books, the love for reading my mother and father pressed into my being, and for the love my children have for all things reading and books.
I am also thankful for a husband who puts up with my crazy book hoarding and allowing me free reign to paint my built in book shelf a random aqua blue.

Once upon a book club has a great idea going. Once a month you purchase your 'box'. You receive the book of the month and gifts that you open while you're reading that go along with the book. This months book was All the Good Parts. Not my normal read but so far I am loving it, and opening gifts!

Witty and quirky with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, ALL THE GOOD PARTS is an immensely relatable story that kept me turning the pages. Nyhan expertly weaves plenty of tender-hearted and poignant themes, crafting rich characters that are just like the rest of us: human, with all our beauty and flaws. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to her next book.

Alfoster @klonsdale So excited! Just got All the Breaking Waves from NetGalley. Loved Everything We Keep!😍😍 8y
klonsdale Thanks @Alfoster. Enjoy!! 8y
