Hello all! Long time no read! Graduate school has definitely taken it‘s toll on my life (also I forgot my Litsy password 🤦🏼‍♀️) but hopefully I‘ll have more time moving forward! This weekend I had the opportunity to read lots of books; mostly children‘s, but some other stuff too. The most nostalgic for me was definitely The Boxcar Children. Have you read it? What did you think?

1. "Real" books with pages.
2. Entertaining a crap ton of relatives!
3. Sure!
4. "It's a Wonderful Life"
5. Okey dokey!

Sorry for my long absence! Grad school is absolutely incredible, but I‘m very busy; in fact, I only finished one book last month! It feels like a failure since over the summer I‘d regularly finish two or three a week, but I have to be realistic about my time.

I wanted to put something spooky on my October TBR, & Coraline seemed like the perfect choice! Are you reading anything creepy or scary this month?

One of my October goals was to use my Bookout more.... I opened it to this and cracked up!!! 1909 hours of reading y‘all! 😂😂😂😂. My October TBR and a Booknerd blog post coming tonight! #ineedanoutlet #stressfulseptember #bookme

I absolutely murdered my TBR this month: I got through almost every single book and I at least started all of them. Even though I read a lot, nothing really blew me away. My favorite was The Boundless by Kenneth Oppel, but I also enjoyed a book I read for work called The Servant by James Hunter. I also started A Darker Shade of Magic, which is very good, but I didn't have time to finish it this month. Ratings in the comments if you're interested!

Tried to put myself on a book buying ban for the rest of the month (it's less than a week!), but somehow accidentally on purpose ended up at Barnes & Noble after church today?! Whoops... #sorrynotsorry

Picked up some well-loved classics at one of my favorite bookshops a few weeks ago. I love used books. There's something wonderful about reading an old book & thinking about who might've owned or read it before you, & how it impacted them.

My TBR progress has been minimal this month; I'm only halfway through. I'm trying to finish at least one more book before the end of the month, but we'll see 🤷‍♀️

Picked up my first Penguin Orange today at my favorite used bookshop, Mr. K's. This collection is absolutely beautiful & since there are only 12 of them, I'm hoping to collect them all before the end of the semester. What are you currently reading?
