The book addiction isn’t new. I’ve had that my entire life.

The only difference is now I have an Instagram account dedicated to enabling it. 😂📚

And today’s evidence:
📚 Slaughterhouse-Five — Kurt Vonnegut
📚 Play Nice
📚 The Bodyguard
📚 Mazywood

At this point, books aren’t just a hobby. They’re basically my entire personality.

Tell me—which one are you picking up first? 👀

The Last Challenge: the last book I read, the last book I added to my collection, the last book I rated five stars, and the last book added to my TBR. Thank you again @Erica | wittyreading 📚 for sending me The Night Circus. @Lorie D 📚☮️ Tagging @kweennikkolereads @Taleshareads📚 @KateMcReader 📚📘 and @John 📕📙📔📗📘

Monday Musings: I’m starting John of John as a buddy read with @KateMcReader 📚📘 tomorrow. I can’t wait. It’s the first book in the Booker Long list. I’m working on Parts 3 and 4 of the underhyped books recommended by you - I’ll post part 3 next Monday. I do have an underhyped book to recommend to you today and that is The Intrigue by Silvia Moreno-Garcia it is a noir story and it’s excellent. I’m also working on the list of bookstagrammers to follow who recommend books not everyone is talking about, and a list of Greek mythology book recs, and finally my July Reading wrap up where I talk about the books I rated above 4 stars. #mondaymusings #bookerlonglist #greekmythologybookrecs #julyreadingwrapup #underhypedbooks

Toxic Bookish Habits. Here are five of mine including using the dust jacket flaps as a bookmark or French flaps as a bookmark, way too many books listed in my Goodreads currently reading, constantly misplacing the book I’m currently reading, multiple editions, etc. Tagging @KateMcReader 📚📘 @babygotpaperback Kris 📚 and @Lorie D 📚☮️ for their toxic bookish habits. #toxicbooktrait #bookhabits #specialeditions #dustjacket #lostmybook

Go to author events. On Monday I had the great good fortune to meet up with our very own Kate McReader and go see Ann Patchett talk about Whistler. Whistler is a 5 star read. She said this is the best year for books she has ever seen and she recommended everyone read Kin by Tayari Jobes, John of John by Douglas Stuart, Things in Nature Merely Grow by Yiyun Li, Land by Maggie O’Farrell. Go to author events. #authorevent #annpatchett #whistler #fivestarreads #bookreccomendations @katemcreader 📚📘 @boswellbookco @pabsttheatergroup
