owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places
The things that I did
Yeah, with every broken bone
I swear I lived

QOTD: How do you Live?

I just had to show off my gorgeous new bookmark by @tjlubrano it's one of a set that is absolutely breathtaking.
It goes so nicely with the @owlcrate exclusive cover of Heartless which we have confirmed more of coming for many more Owlcrates to come.

Also all of the brownie points if you can figure out what I was watching in the background.

Hey Kitkats!

If you've been following me on Instagram since pre ACOL and subsequent read of ACOL. You know I love this series and especially the Anoshe quote. So naturally I had to buy it when @eviebookish made a design for it .

Summer sounds like the perfect time for Muffin Bottom Pie. Maybe one day I'll try to make it

Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs are proud to present The Marauders Map.

All stores are tagged to manage their mischief on my wallet ;)

I wanted a love thick with time, as inscrutable as if a lathe had carved it from night and as familiar as the marrow in my bones. I wanted the impossible, which made it that much easier to push out of my mind.

I have suddenly become a bracelet person. These fandom ones that are subtle but fun make them something to add to my work outfits.
I especially love these two Harry Potter ones I've got from different boxes.
QOTD: Do you have any bookish jewelry you like to wear?

Happy 4th of July Kitkats!

Did you know there was only 1 Catholic to sign the Declaration of Independence? Charles Carroll of Maryland. He was also the one to live the longest.

Here's your weekly reminder to read one of the best and diverse books I know of.

It's got magic, it's got anime references, it's got an awesome POC MC and a Canadian.

"So long as you fight the darkness, you stand in the light." - Sabaa Tahir.

I just adore my quote bookmarks from @forthedreamersdesign she makes such beautiful quote bookmarks and character bookmarks as well for so many different fandoms.

Anoshe was a word for strangers in the street, and lovers between meetings, for parents and children, friends and family. It softened the blow of leaving. Eased the strain of parting. A careful nod to the certainty of today, the mystery of tomorrow. When a friend left, with little chance of seeing home, they said anoshe. When a loved one was dying, they said anoshe. .

Kansas has been having some crazy weather this summer. Lots of rain and very few super hot days. It's crazy. But I love it because I'll take 70-80 any day.

Hope to read Girl out of Water this summer. That cover gives me Kansas vibes even if it's set in Nebraska. Like seriously, the waving wheat is a Kansas thing.

I hope your 4th of July is out of this world 🌌🎆

Baby spoiler for June @nerdy.post box of 1 year Anniversary theme or as I call it ALL THE FANDOMS!

The Hobbit Bookmark is one of my favorites bc I love Middle Earth and the hobbitses.

There is only one day left to subscribe for July which is Alice in Wonderland and it's shaping up to be a pretty epic box

So there a story behind my order of @markedbymary but to sum up I ordered them at the beginning of April and after many shipping problems, they finally arrived a couple if weeks ago. But they are gorgeous and I love my Gilmore Girls quote one because it's from my fave boy and an awesome episode.

QOTD: do you know which episode/season the quote bookmark is from?

Bonus: would you try founders day punch?

Last night i finished two of the four books I was working on and one of them was Emily Skrutskie's The Edge of the Abyss which was JUST AS GOOD AS BOOK 1!

I'm gonna write a better review this weekend for this and like 3 other books

But just OMG it was so good. I want to be spirited away into this world. Get it. Spirited away 🤣😂...🙂

Finally finished TEOTA and I loved it. So happy with that ending.

Will write full review on GR this weekend.

Just wrapped up FITM and holy crap what an ending. Gimme book 2.

Will write goodreads review hopefully this week or over the holiday weekend.

Happee Birthdae Harry!

Thank you JK for the stories that have shaped me and my generation.

I will always be grateful.

The latest book I've picked up to go with my other current reads is Ahdieh's Flame in the Mist. Bc ninjas and mulan inspiration. Nuff said.

Got an awesome day ahead! My company gave me 4 tickets to the Royals Game! It pays off to work hard and be a good Engineer.

Amazing bookmark by @bookmarks_for_kindness on Instagram who is also @SamMaybe

ust like so many others, I think When Dimple Met Rishi by @sandhyamenonbooks is a go to summer read. I read it last month and adored it!

Dimple and Rishi just feel so real and I just love reading their story.

Try to spot the little Rishi Easter egg I worked into the photo. Hint, it's an @Owlcrate item

While we may post Blue on Wednesdays, The Onyx Vial is only blue in color. This story, written and cover illustrated by Alexis of Nerdy Post , is jam packed full of magic and intrigue that I just loved.

Still taking stock on this Litsy thing. So far I enjoy it. Seems that's as much of a consensus as that of that Tower of Dawn cover is meh at best.

It's a tale as old as time and story rewritten and reimagined in numerous ways but a very underrated tome is The Rose and the Mask by Victoria Leybourne AND it is going to have spin off sequels like TLC.(literally bc I called the Cinderella character).

It's only available through Amazon but the ebook is pretty cheap. Go buy it!

Facts about me:

1) I am Catholic. And very proud about it.
I wear my @rich_love_shoppe bracelet every day as well as my St. Kateri Tekakwitha medal & 4-Way cross.

2) I have been a reader since as long as I can remember.

3) I am a Mechanical Engineer and proud to have earned my degree.

4) I love sports. Especially basketball.

5) I was a 4 year variety letter swimmer in high school and a 4 year academic letter.

See the rest over on Insta.

"That's what we do. We walk a tightrope every day. Getting out the door is a tightrope. Going grocery shopping is a tightrope. Socializing is a tightrope. Things that most people consider to be normal, daily parts of life are the very things we fear and struggle with the most, and yet here we are, moving forward anyway. That's not weak."
