Blogmas 2023: Random Bookish Things

Blogmas 2023: Random Bookish Things

3 things that I should have bought on Black Friday at Barnes and Noble but didn’t:

The 2 library holiday books that I still have not read (although I’m hopefully starting one of them tonight after I finish reading the last 20 pages of Christmas by the Book…my Blogmas post tomorrow will tell you which one I’m starting and the special reason why I chose it…or should I say…it chose me…)

Gorgeous tote bag at Paper Source (not book related but so gorgeous):

My son asked me for a pencil while in my car last week. After I searched my entire glove compartment (no pencil), I DID find a ridiculous amount of pens, a ridiculous amount of tampons, a ridiculous amount of Splenda packets, and…a working book light. I totally forgot that I had put this in here months ago for when I want to read in my car and it’s too dark outside! I’ve been bringing my book light that I keep in my nightstand with me in these situations…no more!

Happy 1st Night of Hanukkah to all who celebrate!!!

2 Great Gifts for Book Lovers

Recently I bought myself 2 amazing bookish items! These would be great gifts for any book lovers in your life….orrrrr you can buy them for yourself as I did, lol 😉

Book Lover Gift #1: Book Mask

I saw a post in a book blogger Facebook group from a member making and selling the most gorgeous book masks I have seen! I had been searching for one for months but couldn’t seem to find a good one and as soon as I saw hers, I was IN LOVE. I instantly messaged her asking for her Venmo information so I could place my order! Less than a week later, my stunning mask arrived in my mailbox.

It’s PERFECT.

It’s hard to tell but it has GORGEOUS gold threading throughout. It’s AMAZING when it shines in the sun!

I was so excited to wear it that I didn’t even think to check if it has a wire on the nose! I was pleasantly surprised later to realize that it does!

The inside of it is also so beautiful!

If you would like to place your own order, here is her contact information (she gave me permission to post it):

Thank you so much, Christina! I absolutely love my beautiful book mask!

Book Lover Gift #2: Book Pop Socket

I’m obsessed with having a Pop Socket on my phone and my old one was no longer doing it’s job. It kept coming (flying!) off and I was spending more time reattaching it than actually using it! Not to mention that it’s gorgeous swirly pattern was rubbing off around all of it’s edges. Ugh! My phone was more than overdue for a refresh.

After much searching, I found the most beautiful one (linked at the bottom of this post)!

So beautiful! I love all the gorgeous colors!

Bright yellow phone, bright purple nail polish, bright colored Pop Socket = Perfection!

I’ve had it attached to my phone for almost a week now and I love it so much! Hasn’t flown off even once 😉

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are having a wonderful day! I’ll be back here on Friday with a post about a book that I disliked so much that I only made it through 5 pages before calling it quits…

5 Bookish Things I’m Thankful For

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate! My little family of 4 will be celebrating here, safely in our home. We miss our family SO MUCH and can’t wait to hug them and celebrate fun holidays with them in the future! I woke up extra early this morning so I could get this post published before settling myself on our couch to watch the Macy’s Day Parade with my family from our couch. One of my favorite traditions of the entire year! I’ll be curious to see how it will be done virtually this year??? In honor of Thanksgiving, here are 5 Bookish Things I’m Thankful for This Year:

1. When My Daughter Has Random Breaks Throughout Her Virtual Learning Day

My 3rd grader has been virtual learning all year and she will randomly have breaks throughout the school day. 10 minutes here, 20 minutes there, etc. We have a routine where she will yell, “BREAK” and my son and I will stop whatever we are doing to run and join her on our living room couch for some quiet reading time. I. LOVE. IT. I grab a book, she grabs a book, and my son grabs headphones and the ipad (to listen to books being real aloud to him on the EPIC app). This picture was from this past Tuesday afternoon (her school had pajama day). Remote learning for the WIN!

2. My Beloved Book Light

If you have been following me for any length of time, you most definitely already know about my obsession with my (obviously old and much loved) book light. I very literally use it EVERY SINGLE DAY. It’s one of the first things I put on my list to pack when I go on vacation! I love, love, love my dear book light. You can read all about her and my obsession with her HERE.

3. My Library’s Drive Thru Service

Illinois has already been put on strict orders to stay at home as much as possible. My amazing library drive thru has absolutely SAVED me during this pandemic, still allowing me to have access to unlimited books. I’m always thankful for this service but I’ve been a MILLION times more thankful for it in 2020! You can read about my experience with my wonderful library’s drive thru HERE.

4. Elin Hilderbrand

(Picture from Facebook)

I’m so thankful for Elin Hilderbrand. I finished reading THIS BOOK last week and I CANNOT get those characters and story lines out of my head. I’ve tried to read 2 books since then and unfortunately haven’t been able to fully appreciate either because my heart is still with Mallory and Jake. I’m fearful that I’ll never be able to love another book because I simply can’t imagine any book comparing to this one! Oh how I loved this book. If you are looking for an amazing book to read while in quarantine, this is it. Trust me.

5. The Amazon Product I Never Knew I Needed

I. LOVE. THIS. PRODUCT. How did I live without this for over 40 years??? I have been able to read so many more book pages at random times due to this product. Read more about my experience with it HERE.

And with that, I’m off to make coffee and watch the Macy’s Day Parade with my family! HAPPY THANKSGIVING to those who celebrate 🙂 I am thankful for so, so many things this year and that includes YOU!!!

What are you thankful for this year? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
