The temperature today has reached a balmy 42 degrees and I needed an excuse to get out of the house. What better excuse than a run to the bookstore? These have both been on my wishlist for a bit. I can‘t wait to jump in.

It‘s only fair to share the fails along with the successes. Sorry PopSugar, we have just grown apart this year.
No thrillers, no cats on covers, no disabilities (although those 2 I have I just didn‘t get to them) no career advice (not everybody works), no steampunk, wilderness, hotels, holidays, author recs, family members, OR sub-genre that you‘ve never heard of (seriously that‘s getting to be a tough one).

Yay, #FriYayIntro @jess.how
1. I don‘t have one but as a kid I loved “ Tell Me A Mitzi”
2.A Holly Jolly Christmas 😝🤕😖
3. When kids were little all the sibs bought for all the nieces and nephews but then it got to be too big & expensive so we started doing a cousin swap. We also have every kid buy a small item and gift it to a children‘s charity or hospital.
4.Squashed them all ✅
5. Will do 😊
so-soRead this for #popsugar2017, "a book that's been mentioned in another book" after a character in Slaughterhouse-Five name-dropped it as a book that can teach you everything you need to know about life.
I think this was worth the read but I'd have preferred to read this in a class - on my own I got a bit bored with all the looong philosophical discussions. I normally love the classics but this one just wasn't floating my boat ??♀️
pickA short but sweet memoir of Carrie Fisher's time filming Star Wars back in the 70s. I read this as my "written by someone you admire" prompt for #popsugar2017 - I love that Carrie was always brash and outspoken about anything and everything, especially mental health issues. She is sorely missed, and I'm sure I'll cry immediately upon seeing her onscreen in the next Star Wars movie.
Starting in on my "espionage thriller" prompt for #popsugar2017! The spy novels I've tried in the past just haven't done it for me so I'm hoping this fun fantasy aesthetic one does the trick.
so-soPoints for creativity and incredibly detailed bee research, but overall this book wasn't for me. I was never able to feel connected to Flora and I feel like the whole "this is a metaphor for totalitarian human society" vibe was a bit heavy handed.
Read as my "from a nonhuman perspective" prompt for #popsugar2017 ?
Book 5 in the series (and Cosmo) and I'm finally back to being able to use these as challenge books! Book with a season in the title.

pickFinished this gem of an Austen novel via #serialreader! It was way funnier than I expected and I loved that Susan was so unabashedly manipulative.
This was also my #bookofletters for #popsugar2017 ✉️
Another #blameitonlitsy moment... just downloaded the #serialreader app! I've got several classics on my TBR for the rest of this year and I have a feeling this will be the perfect way to read them.
First up, Lady Susan! This will be my "book of letters" for #popsugar2017. I love Jane Austen so I'm definitely looking forward to it.
