This book is amazing! Jacob just wants to wear a dress and people are not sure what to think. Children will learn understanding, acceptance, friendship, family, and being ok with who you are. I love that I found this in my library and I'm going to make sure we read it a lot! #DiverseKidLit #KidLit #TeachOpenMinds

Big sis reading to little sis 😍 my 6yo is doing great with her reading and I love that she's reading to her younger sister. #RaisingReaders #LyonsCubs

Sigh. Left - buddy read I should stay on top of. Right - dense fiction I've been reading for 2 months. Decisions for this bed time read. #BookwormProblems

I actually got in solid reading time last night! Husband was recording his podcast so it was just me. Nothing like a bit of coloring and video gaming while listening to an audiobook. 🤓 #EclecticReadathon @EclecticReaders

It's the @EclecticReaders readathon! It's not too late to start. We don't only track the hours but we have this fun scavenger hunt you can do and win points to win a prize! We also have check-in questions that count as long you participate. #EclecticReadathon

Colorado doesn't have a lot of Dunkin Donut shops, so while waiting to pick up my friend from the airport, I left early to get some breakfast and enjoy a book.

I tagged the book closest to DC 😂 but I also had to share this exchange with my 5yo....

Reading this book...
Me: the Library of Congress has millions of books...
Emily: I want to go there.
Me: Yeah?
Emily: Yeah. I love books and I want to buy lots and lots from there.
Me: You can't really buy books from there.... But we can go visit 😂

I may have to post what her current reads are. I have caught her reading during meals a few times and I really don't have the heart to tell her it's not polite 😅 it's so cute and it melts my heart! And I know she got this from me, so..... Not sorry. Lol #BookwormInTraining #BookAndFood #ReadAnywhere

I'm reading Obsidio while I wait for my kindergartner to get out of school (especially since it's so cold) and I came upon this. There may be more meaning behind this if I knew more space science stuff, but this can't be a coincidence. Hello random FF7 reference 😆 #AmReading #IlluminaeFiles #WhenNerdomsCollide #MommyBookworm

Readathons always include bedtime ☺️ so here are the girls' picks for the #11thHourReadathon

#11thHourReadathon... trying to start by getting reading in during "quiet play" where the kids play quietly in their rooms and I get to read for a half hour. Not working well tonight ? my 2yo is being a pain.

My friends and I did a buddy read of the Hobbit and LotR. We started Jan 3 and read 1-2 (on average) chapters and week. Itook us practically a year but we are now on the last chapter of Return of the King. What a great journey it has been. 💍💍💍💍💍/5

🤪 TFW 2 long audiobooks come in on the same day. Seriously, how does the library do it? It doesn't matter if the book is digital or physical. I placed Obelisk Gate on hold earlier (with a much longer wait) than Illuminae. So now I need to hustle and get these read since I won't be able to renew 😅 #LibraryLove #TBR #YearOfRereads

A good friend of ours was visiting and he was reading to my girls. Then my husband decided to join in on the storytime 😍 #LyonsCubs #RaisingReaders #ThoseWhoReadTogether

I found a coffee and used book shop in Golden last week ? and while I was looking around, I found a hardcover of GoF! I showed it to my husband and he said, "...... it's because you don't have the hardcover." Yes, dear husband, yes. I do not have the hardcover. ??

@jmtrivera ask and ye shall receive. 💕 Girls are in bed so it's just me this time. #ReadingSelfies just before bed, tired eyes and all 📚😴

Why, yes. Yes, I did go back to get books on her teacher's wishlist. Her teacher is so great and teachers in general need all the help they can get. #SupportTeachers #MommmyBookworm

We were waiting in line at the book fair to check out and my youngest began reading her book 🤓 #BookwormInTraining #ScholasticBookFair

Book fair time! It's our first book fair and I think I'm more excited than my daughter 😅

1. The Martian - oh, the snark!
2. June
3. Yes, 2 girls
4. It's not often but probably cookies
5. Happy birthday September friends! It's also my oldest daughter's birthday month. She'll be 5 next week!

#FriYayIntro @jesshowbooks

That last sentence is gold. I ended up buying the book.

I forgot to share this a few days ago! We completed our library's reading challenge, 720 minutes in 1.5 months! As a prize she received this book and she couldn't be happier. She could have gotten a more age appropriate book, but nothing beats Wonder Woman #BookwormInTraining #KidReadingChallenge #SummerReading

#AudioColoring since the library decided to have all the audiobooks available at the same time. Trying to finish this great book before it's due in 2 days. #YearOfRereads

Found this gem at the library! It's Ove as a hedgehog! 🤣 Seriously, though, it's a really cute book 🦔🦔🦔🦔/5

Hey all! @EclecticReaders is doing a giveaway of this cool book! Not only is the cover interesting, it can be free! So enter and see if you win! #EclecticGiveaway

Taking a small break from my rereads. I did a book swap with a friend so I should definitely read it. Lol. Just finished Fangirl so it's perfect timing to be my bedtime book. I love this cover.

Good morning and happy Independence Day! Starting my morning on the deck (it's a little chilly) reading. Then off to yoga before I start my day with my family.

I signed my oldest up for a reading challenge our library is holding: Read 700 minutes by the end of July. And we made it past the hallway point, which meant she would get a prize! She got a cool dog tag and we are well on our way to reaching out goal 😊 #RaisingReaders #BookwormInTraining #KidsReadingChallenge

I just had to share this sunset. There was a big heavy cloud so it just looks like a grey blanket over the mountains. And there's just enough haziness to catch the layers of the mountains.

I took the girls to the library and, yes, I was reading on my Kindle while we were there. 😁 Since we were in the kids room, I didn't want to leave them there to go looking for a book. Below are the girls' picks. #MommyBookworm

My in-laws were visiting so we went to Boulder and of course I couldn't NOT go in the book store. 😅 My mother in law also insisted she buy something for me so this is what I got. My Pet Book is so adorable. The little boy get a pet book because he doesn't want a dog or cat. 📚📚📚📚/5

A week and a half to go! So excited! Not only do you read for 24 hours, but there are check-ins to chat with fellow participants, a scavenger hunt, and prizes! Check in on our GoodReads page, goodreads.com/group/show/68328-eclectic-readers. The thread for the readathon will go live when the readathon begins! #EclecticReadathon

Ending my birthday reading on my deck with a wine I'm trying for the first time and enjoying. Pretty happy with my day 😊

What timing! A perfect quote for Mother's Day. I hope one day this will be me and my girls.

"never get tired of trying, and never think it is impossible to conquer your fault." It's good to be reminded of this.

I'm not quite certain about this autocorrect 🤔🤔🤔

1. Water was turned on at our park so we went for a splash
2. Local Book Club: Little Women, @EclecticReaders : A Discovery of Witches
3. Target run
4. Spaghetti with ground turkey and zucchini. Veggies on the side
5. Ice cream cake

#HumpdayPost @MinDea

This is the first thing my daughter did when she woke up after opening the blinds. 😍 Also, the book is delightful. A really great interactive book while learning about mixing colors. 🖌️🖌️🖌️🖌️🖌️/5

I finally got my copy! This book is truly delightful. I know it's a spoof, but it is a well done spoof; and the message it conveys is lovely. So cute! 🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇/5

I was doing a tour of the school my oldest will be attending for the coming school year (kindergarten!! 😲) And I discovered these treasures in their library. Man, this take me back! 😅

1. Full disclosure, I did use zoom on my phone, but I can see the mountains from my deck
2. Mystery, horror
3. Explore, something active
4. Blue
5. I have lots, but Anne holds a special place in my heart
#HumpDayPost @MinDea

"You can't be funny if you're dumb." This is an amazing line and very true. @EclecticReaders current book. #EclecticReaders #Podcast #BookClub

I had a date with my 2yo this morning. Now I get to have a well-deserved coffee and book break while my kids rest because 2yos are tiring 😅 #YearOfRereads #FellowshipOfTheReread

My friend is having a baby so I went to the bookstore the get the onesie and Dream Animals. And I left with way more because I should get something for my kids if I'm getting something for someone else's kids. 😅 The 2 books on the left are just delightful and I caved and bought Obsidio even though I'm not sure when I'm going to get to it. #BookHaul

Colorado Littens! There's a children's book festival happening in Denver! I just found out so I need to see if I'll be able to make it (kids and all 😅) I love the book store so I was excited to see that they are doing this. #ColoradoHappenings #Denver #ChildrenBooks

It's been slow going for this book but because of time. I'm really liking it. Hoping to get through a chunk of it tonight with some cider. #EclecticReaders

My husband and I saw Hamilton last night! However, we weren't able to sit together so I brought my Kindle. Got in some reading before it started and during intermission 🤓 and also, it was a phenomenal performance. #Hamilton #PlacesIRead #BookwormLife #EclecticReaders

I'm doing a LotR reread this year with a few friends. We just finished the Hobbit and now we're on to the big one! #YearOfRereads

Lunch for one. The week after vacation is always rough. Treating myself to a book and ramen. #BookwormLife #BookAndLunch

We're on vacation this week and I'm sneaking in some reading during the quiet moments. Kids and in-laws are napping... Perfect time to enjoy a much needed cup of coffee and book #VacationReading
