Basic bookish arithmetic: one book goes out, five new ones come in. No wonder the space on my shelves doesn't add up.
Book Nook Envy:
I could happily curl up here with a good book!
And I have a stack to choose from because I just
got back from the library with this bookish haul:
A School For Unusual Girls by Kathleen Baldwin
A Merciful Death by Kendra Elliot
Polaris Rising by Jessie Mihalik
Leave No Trace by Mindy Meija
The Girl From the Savoy by Hazel Gaynor
Sprig Muslin by Georgette Heyer
Two bookish necklaces I'd love to own:
(Because how do you choose between them?)
Random Quote:
"Reading is the key to enriching one's life.
Besides information, it is about fantasy, imagination,
imagery, magic and intellectual and emotional stimulation.
It opens doors and leads you places
you never knew existed."
--Jonas Kage
Just for fun:
Gotta love John Atkinson!
Happy Reading!

Love this post! Of course there's always more books, not lesser books, right? :D
ReplyDeleteThe two necklaces look lovely, but I'm leaning more towards the first one. :)
I kind of like that one best, too. :D
DeleteWonderful library haul. I really like the description for Canterbury Tales and 1984. Both are pretty fitting!
ReplyDeleteAtkinson really nails it sometimes, doesn't he?
DeleteI love all of this! Fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kay!
DeleteAlways more books, never room enough on the shelves. And Abridged Classics are so concise! :D
ReplyDeleteI love Atkinson's Abridged Classics. They always make me laugh. :)
DeleteLove this post! What a great haul ;) And I love that reading nook!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it the best? I could spend many happy hours there reading. :)
DeleteGreat post :-) I think I'd pick the second necklace! The abridged classics are hilarious - thanks for the laugh! Oh, and of course: happy reading! On a sidenote, 'Sprig Muslin' was the first Heyer I ever read (many, many moons ago... in the early 80s!), and I was hooked rightaway.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you liked Sprig Muslin. I've been working my way through Heyer's books, but sometimes it's hard to choose which to read next because she wrote so many. :)
DeleteI love that book nook - and the necklaces, especially the second one. I hope you enjoy Sprig Muslin. I'll probably be reading that one soon too :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to Sprig Muslin. I've heard it's a funny one.
DeleteThat book nook looks so cozy! And I absolutely love that first necklace! I hope you enjoy your library haul. Quite a few of those books are on my wish list. Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ashley! :D
DeleteWow I'd take that book nook in a heartbeat lol! And ooh I can vouch for Unusual Girls and Polaris rising being good. Hope you like them. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm almost done with Unusual Girls...and completely loving it. And I can't wait to give Polaris Rising a read. :D
DeleteYou got a nice book haul there! I really liked A Merciful Death, I'm on book two right now of the series. I hope we both love Polaris Rising. I could totally hang out in that book nook. So pretty. The abridged classics is pretty funny. Keep them coming! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rachel! I'm looking forward to reading both A Merciful Death and Polaris Rising. :D
DeleteThat book nook looks so cozy! I especially love the size of the chair. Perfect for sitting cross-legged as I often do.
ReplyDeleteI have an illustration of the Alcott quote on my wall in my "library" aka the room where the majority of my books are. I love it!
I love curling up in comfy chairs, too. And the Alcott quote is one of my favs! How cool that you have it in your library. :)
DeleteI love that book nook! I'll admit, a major seller on the house I just moved too is that is has a book nook. The previous owners also loved to read and had book shelves everywhere.
ReplyDeleteLucky!! I think every house should come with bookshelves and a book nook. :)
DeleteLove these. Thanks for dropping by!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anne. :)
DeleteThose bookish necklaces are gorgeous! I would happily wear them every day!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a pretty reading nook. I need to work on mine. And, love the bookish necklaces. I have one with a portrait of Virginia Woolf. And, the abridged classics are always a hoot - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGlad you stopped by, Iliana! :)
DeleteVery nice library haul. Polaris rising is quite good. Those bookish necklaces are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to Polaris Rising a lot. :)
DeleteOooh, I love that reading nook. So perfect. If it were mine, I'd spend ALL MY DAYS there :)
ReplyDelete:D Me, too. So, I guess it's good it's not mine or I'd never get anything done.
DeleteGreat post! I love those necklaces too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kami!
DeleteI love those necklaces! I hope you enjoy all your new books. They sound good. I wouldn't mind curling up in that chair in the photo you shared.
ReplyDeleteAren't the necklaces fun? And I really love that chair, too.
DeleteI must admit I've been better this year about not buying in tons of books, mainly just keeping up with series I'm invested in. My tbr at least will have a chance to reduce this year!
ReplyDeleteYay. Good for you! :)
DeleteI love those necklaces! I want them, too.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Right? They're the best!
DeleteCanterbury Tales and Macbeth :)
ReplyDeleteAren't those great?
