Exploring New Orleans for the first time, and stubbled on the cutest bookstore yesterday. Tiny, and stacked to the ceiling with good books, @faulknerhousebooks is a book nerd's dream! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #readersofinstagram #bookworm #readmorebooks #bibliophile #thebooklyclub #igreads #booklove #booklover #bookclub #bookgroup #bookphotography #booknerd #bookstore #bookshop #faulknerhousebooks
I had just enough time to sneak a picture of this perfect little moment. My girls, a book, and Ollie all in one frame. Life is sweet ❤️
GUYS, I'm finally going to see the @littlewomenmovie tonight! I convinced some of MY favorite women to join me on a school night, and I couldn't be more excited 🙌 I've heard nothing but great things, from lots of different people, so there's a lot of hype to live up to. I'll keep you all posted... UPDATE: the movie was fantastic! The casting was excellent. Whoever played Amy was a highlight for me, although I'm not quite sure there's any replacing Susan Sarandon as Marmie (and Bob Odenkirk, wtf?). And of course it was beautiful at every turn. Do you think people would notice if I dressed like Jo March from now on? All of this is to say... go to see this movie asap, it lives up to the hype! Oh, and bring a box of tissues. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #readersofinstagram #bookworm #readmorebooks #bibliophile #igreads #booklove #booklover #bookclub #bookphotography #booknerd #puffininbloom #littlewomen

I finally got it together to share my favorite books of 2019 (in ascending order, bottom to top)! Compared to 2018 this year was a good (not great) reading year for me. I read 6 less books and only the top 2 in this stack made it on my all-time favorites list. BUT I thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of these books, and here's a tiny bit of why... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #ThePower was unlike anything I've ever read and made for great discussion... #LovecraftCountry is another unique MUST read and not just because Jordan Peele is turning it into an HBO series... I'll always love everything Rebecca Solnit writes... #WheretheCrawdadsSing had a little bit of everything and even had me interested in marshes... #WomenRaceandClass is a revolutionary feminist classic that I was so happy to finally read... #TheSimpleWild was just plain fun and surprised me with how much I liked it... #BeholdtheDreamers was beautiful and moving and totally lived up to the hype... #MaybeYouShouldTalktoSomeone was not just a peek behind the therapy curtain but a powerful loving story about who we are... And my favorite of the year, #TheHeartsInvisibleFuries, was a beautifully written story of one man from life through death and all the wonderful, terrible, fateful twists and turns of his lifetime ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cheers to another great year of books and thank you all for being here to chat, share, read, and follow along with us!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #readersofinstagram #bookworm #readmorebooks #bibliophile #thebooklyclub #booklyclub #igreads #booklove #booklover #bookclub #bookgroup #bookclublove #bookphotography #booknerd #bookreview #books #bestof2019
So happy that this was my last read of 2019! Like most of you, I've been hearing nothing but great things about this one since its release in April. And I LOVED author Lori Gottlieb's episode of @armchairexppod (give it a listen if you haven't already). So I was very excited when the Chicago @the.wing chose it as our selection for January 🙌 I flew through it these past few days while on winter break with the family. The intimate story of a therapist, the equal parts heart-wrenching and inspirational stories of a few of her most significant patients, and her own life-changing experience with therapy. For me it was about our universal humanity, mortality, and what we hide about ourselves and why. Her writing is so moving and each individual story had me in love with each "character." It left me with a lot of food for thought in the new year, and I can't recommend it highly enough! Thank you Lori for such a wonderful book ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookstagrammer #readersofinstagram #bookworm #readmorebooks #bibliophile #thebooklyclub #booklyclub #igreads #booklove #booklover #bookclub #bookgroup #bookclublove #bookphotography #booknerd #amreading #currentlyreading #bookreview #maybeyoushouldtalktosomeone #lorigottlieb
