This weekend was bright and sunny in Chicago. It felt like the city came back to life! This winter has been a tough one to say the least, so being able to go on a walk to the park felt revolutionary. And although it's Monday, the sun is still out 🤗 AND we have some special visitors coming later this week who I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing (@readwithkat)! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the meantime I'm 100 pages into our March selection #IfBealeStreetCouldTalk by #JamesBaldwin. I'm loving so far. The writing style is deceptively casual and packs a punch. It has me taking my time with every word and savoring the story. Are you reading this one with us?? What do you think so far #booklymark? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #thebooklyclub #booklyclub #igreads #booklove #bookclub #bookgroup #bookclublove #booknerd #amreading #currentlyreading #bookreview #marchreads
Happy Friday, readers! I just finished #TheHeartsInvisibleFuries by @johnboyne and it totally lived up to the hype! I'll save most of my thoughts for another time, since @readwithkat and I are buddy reading this one and she has a couple hundred pages to catch up on 😉 But this one left me all warm and fuzzy (after 580 pgs of many different emotions), and what I kept thinking was how much it reminded me of Pillars of the Earth! Anyone? Obviously they're different settings, different central premise, and one lasts for an extra generation or two... but it felt similar in all the best ways 🤗 Anyone read these two and had that same thought (or maybe I'm crazy, that's ok too 😄)? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ Now onto our official March selection for #booklymark... #IfBealeStreetCouldTalk ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #buddyread #bibliophile #thebooklyclub #booklyclub #igreads #booklove #bookclub #bookgroup #booknerd #amreading #currentlyreading #bookreview
A little peak into what my reading life usually looks like... my girls in their jammies, dirty laundry, a sleepy pup, lovies, an ice pack because of some recent injury, cuddled on the floor reading about Pooh's latest troubles. But I'm not sure what I'd been doing that day because it's highly unusual that I'm in real clothes and looking showered 😆 I'm a full-time stay-at-home mom, and I don't always get a lot of time (if any) for me. But reading gives me that time, and it's something I share everyday with my girls. So far 🤞 they seem to love it as much as I do (I'm dying to introduce Harry Potter, but I've got a few years to go). Come tell me, what does reading do for you? And when do you think I can finally intro Harry Potter?? 😄 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #thebooklyclub #booklyclub #igreads #booklove #bookclub #bookgroup #bookclublove #booknerd #momlife #winniethepooh #bittybookly #raisingreaders #raisingareader
Women are super heroes. Everyday. Around the world. No matter your background, your age, your job, your status... we're part of an amazing community of leaders, artists, survivors, mothers, sisters, daughters, innovators, advocates, and everything in between. Take a moment to celebrate women today, 'cause we're pretty badass 😎 Any favorites, by women and about women, that you'd add to this list?? #internationalwomensday ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #thebooklyclub #booklyclub #igreads #booklove #bookclub #bookgroup #bookclublove #booknerd #bookstack #femaleauthors
