I did it. I created a physical TBR shelf, and reorganized all my shelves to make this happen. I own 47 unread books. 47!!!!!! I am not allowed to buy more physical books before I make space on the shelf by READING. #tbr #books #shelving #canthelpit #possessiondamnyou #triedtoreadyousomanytimes #myeyeswerebiggerthanmy...eyes?
BOOK HAUL! Bought with the royalty check that came in last weekend. I was acting a bit like Gollum with these, precious... #winning #bookmoney #bookhaul #heavenisabookstore #ursulakleguin #asifidonthaveenoughbooksihaventread
I saw Annihilation and liked it. Should I read the book? I‘ve heard they are pretty different...too different for me to like both? #annihilation #movievsbook #movies #weirdness #ihavetheories
1. Print. I always have an ebook going, and sometimes an audiobook, but nothing beats that feel of a real book in my hands.
2. The blue cushy chair I‘ve had for 10 years, where my cat likes to sit with me. 3. Hot black tea.
4. Multiple. Never know what mood I‘ll be in. Trying to keep it to four at the moment. 5. Day. I read a little at night but get sleepy too fast. Early Saturday afternoon is the best.
My first 100 Litfluence points! Thanks, Litsy buds! (Mr. Bingley thanks you too). #cats #litfluence #grateful #blessedwithcathair #felinesofprideandprejudice #mrbingley

Recent #bookhaul from an outdoor rack of mass market paperbacks labeled “beach books” in Hawaii. The only Seanan McGuire I‘ve read is Every Heart A Doorway...anyone read this InCryptid series? #beachbooks

My literary souvenir from my Hawaiian 🌺 vacation: the first book of poems ever published by a Marshallese author. Very cool that a female poet is the first. I meant to take a picture of it with a sandy or lush green background, but it will have to settle for the relative brown of the Midwest. #poetry #postcolonial #postcolonialliterature #femalepoets #neweyes
pickFor #recommendsday: I was skeptical of Gilbert before reading her incredible novel The Signature of All Things, which totally turned me around. If you can handle some metaphysical ideas that, even if you don‘t totally buy them, will help you be less anxious about what you create, this is an inspiring read for anyone who wants to find meaning in their hobbies apart from traditional success. #elizabethgilbert #creativity #confidence
Okay, so I didn‘t actually read this book today, but it did travel in a backpack all the way up the Manoa Falls Trail! #austen #vacation #hawaii #booksforruggedtimes #thesweatistheproof #mybfactuallycarriedit
“‘I have found you out in spite of all your tricks. I know where you spent the morning.‘” You got me, Mrs. Jennings. I was on a Hawaiian BEACH! #vacation #beachread #janewouldbeproud #austen #moresensibilitythansense #akaigotasunburn
When you‘re such a book nerd that you‘re almost as excited about the long flight as the trip itself, because READING. Anyone else experience this? #readingtime #traveling #booksarethebestrravelbuddies #thefifthseason #fantasy
“That is what I like; that is what a young man ought to be. Whatever be his pursuits, his eagerness in them should know no moderation, and leave him no sense of fatigue.” My guy‘s pursuit: cycling. Marianne, girl, this seems hot at first, but it can get to be a bit much. 🙄
“On every formal visit a child ought to be of the party, by way of provision for discourse.” I‘d like to add, Jane, that a cat serves that function just as well, and doesn‘t think it‘s weird when you talk about it for an hour once you realize you and your visitors have nothing in common. #austen #lifehacks #cats
