I’m basically a masterclass on how NOT to start a “secret” bookstagram. And am the world’s laziest blocker. I blocked 47 people, got bored, and then was surprised when people found me. 🤦‍♀️😂

It’s not really that I care about it being a secret, but kind of just wanted to build something cool first. 🤷‍♀️

But I haven’t died of embarrassment and am still working on building something cool. Turns out, my family and friends are the coolest, so if they want to be along for the ride, I’m glad to have them here! 🩷

When you started your account, did you keep it secret from anyone?

Hi! I’m Paige, and I love to read…pretty much whatever sounds good.

Romance? Absolutely.
A funny murder mystery? Definitely.
Leadership, parenting, faith or personal growth? Yep.
A completely random nonfiction book because I suddenly decided I NEED to know everything about a topic? Also me.

I wanted a place to talk about not just what I’m reading, but why I picked it, what I thought, the lines I want to remember, and all the other things I love about books—from beautiful bookshelves to outfits inspired by them.

No required reading. No literary credentials. Just reading because it’s fun. 🩷

So…welcome to This Reading Paige.

What about you? Favorite genres? Any other random book readers? Anything we have in common so far?

Just over here happily writing my mini book reports…🩷

I honestly can’t remember if I enjoyed doing book reports when I was in school, but I sure do now. 😊 Is it just more fun now because it isn’t an assignment?

Ever since reading The Cupid Chronicles, I’ve been wanting to read more books by Courtney Walsh. This new release is the perfect chance to do so.

I’m loving the beautiful fall colors on the trees in the cover. Do you have fall colors where you live? We get just a little bit of it where I’m at in Texas. 🍂🍁

#smalltown #feelslikehome #currentlyreading #falltbr #thisreadingpaige Why I picked the book Feels Like Home by Courtney Walsh:

- wanted to read more by Courtney Walsh
- love a small town setting
- I just had cow print nails... obviously I’m going to love a book set on a ranch with cows on the cover by @thisreadingpaige

I knew I was going to love Juniper from the prologue and her absolute love of books. Then as the book description promises, the whole book was full of a “lovable cast of characters”. 🩷

I also really love that the description includes the type of romance: “The books in this series feature warm, closed-door romance. (Passionate kisses and some innuendo, but no spicy scenes.)”

This book was adorable and I’m already ready for a whole series because I need Juniper and all of her potential suitors to find their HEAs. 🩷🧡

Oh, and can we make “oh, toad warts!” a thing when something goes wrong?? 😂😂

#bookrecommendation #justfinished #closeddoorromance #cozyfantasy #thisreadingpaige I just finished the book Magic, Cats, and Dungeon Rats by Shari L. Tapscott. It was a five star rating. “Lovable cast of characters”?1000%. You have to love a book about a fellow book lover!! by @thisreadingpaige

I’m trying to catch up on finishing my First Reads selections and have an ambitious (aka unrealistic) fall TBR. So naturally, I decided to also start trying to read as many Katherine Center books as possible before her new release in May (because it’s set in my town!!).

This is book four in this Katherine Center side quest. And so far, they are just the most perfect audiobooks. 🩷😍

Have you watched the Netflix movie? I’m thinking I’ll need a movie night after I finish it!

#katherinecenter #nowreading #nowlistening #audiobooks #thisreadingpaige Why I picked the book Happiness for Beginners by Katherine Center — This is the fourth book in my side quest to read as many books by Katherine Center as possible by May. This book was highly recommended when I asked people their favorite book by Katherine Center. by @thisreadingpaige

The first time I read the word “overmorrow” in one of the Bellingwood books, I wasn’t convinced that it was real and had to look it up. It is, in fact, a word. And we are, in fact, so fancy when we use it. 🩷

Happy Dictionary Day on Oct. 16th!

P.S. Don’t ask which of the Bellingwood books it was in. I’ve read all 48 so I have no idea at this point! 📚📚📚

Have you ever learned a fun word from a book?

#overmorrow #dictionaryday #wordsarefun #nerd #thisreadingpaige The definition of “overmorrow” is: the day after tomorrow. For example, overmorrow is Dictionary Day and a great day to celebrate your favorite words. by @thisreadingpaige

I know, I know. I can’t just give everything five stars.

Actually, it’s my bookstagram and these Katherine Center books are so fun. So yes, I can give them all five stars if I want to. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We’re all making up our own rules here, right? 😉😂

A few weeks ago, I got an email from @itscoachgoodman that was probably one of the coolest emails I have ever received. It had me at “Can I send you a book today?”. But it got better and better as I kept reading.

He was sending books to people for free, but not his own books - the books of four people he admires. I love, love, LOVE when people go out of their way to support and cheer on others. 🩷

Super excited to read Community Made by @jaysongaignard and a big thank you to @itscoachgoodman.

Who are you cheering on today?

For fall break, we visited my hometown in Kansas. There is just something special about small towns. These books may not be based in Kansas, but the small town settings give them a special place in my heart.

Do you also get on kicks with certain authors or do you prefer to switch authors more frequently?
