Hello? Any book lovers out there?

Any Jane Austen fans out there? I have a new post up today sharing my favorite Austen quote... and some very exciting news!

This is the most Monday feeling Friday I’ve had in a while. 🙃

How to know if you had a successful year of reading. You read. That’s it. Just read. Anything you want. Seriously, read.

What's that? You want a scavenger hunt for adults at the library? I've got you! It's free and it's fun. And if you subscribe while you are there, I'll be eternally grateful.🥰

Today’s productivity levels will be directly controlled by the amount of caffeine I’m able to get my hands on. ☕🥱

The 3 B's this holiday season. ❤️ Be kind. ✨ Be supportive. 📖 Buy books.

Just got an email from the library that now in addition to losing Overdrive, we are losing Hoopla as well due to lack of funding. It's frustrating that in our last election people voted to raise the sales tax but NOT to fund the library. WHY?

Libraries are about… 📖 books 🫂community 🗺️ exploration 🚫💰entertainment and education for free

Are you in holiday romance mood? I am! ❤️ Check out what I’m reading and a recommendation for those who love a Hallmark-ish holiday romance vibes.

Midweek vibe

In the words of C.S. Lewis … "You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me."☕📖✨

Does anyone else sit at the coffee shop making up stories in their head about all the other people also sitting here typing away on their laptop? No... just me...? *goes back to typing and sipping coffee ☕

Immediately, yes.

I have 39 books to review on NetGalley so far for 2025. Challenge accepted.

Last night the time came, and without a great deal of warning, everything was soon happily over. We have now another girl, a present plaything for her sister Cassy and a future companion. She is to be Jenny. George Austen to Susannah Walter, 17 Dec 1775 Happy birthday, #JaneAusten! Jane Austen #OTD

Happy Birthday, Jane Austen! 🎉 ✒️ You created strong female characters who inspire us to be courageous and true to ourselves. ❤️ In a world full of Wickham’s, you've shown us that Darcy’s do exist. I wish you could see the community of friendships you help create.

If you struggle with grief during the holidays and would like to read a romance with an HEA that makes you feel seen, check out today’s post about At Home With You This Christmas. Canadian author Marie Landry shares her journey through grief to write this heartfelt holiday romance.

Do you ever stop and think about the fact that by the time you finish reading a book, you aren't the same person who started it? Every book changes you. 💙📚

Library sale finds! My friends keep telling me I need to see these. Are they good?

Visiting my parents this weekend. I've been trying to teach my very conservative mom that she doesn't have to take care of everyone else before she take care of herself. She just made her breakfast and sat down to eat without making anything for me. This plan might have backfired.

It’s library used book shopping day! 🎉📚✨

A Room With A View 😻
