May wrap-up! Nine is respectable I guess, but I am disappointed I didn’t manage to finish either of two books that I was SO CLOSE on. Bigger pile for next month! Honestly, I blame Duolingo. My competitive streak and my love of learning have conspired to keep me defending my leaderboard position for MANY HOURS. . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Books: Tentacle, The Bride Test, Super Sikh, Storm of Locusts . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Books: Everything else. . I notice my average goodreads rating seems much higher these days. Am I finding better books? Appreciating the magic of books more now that I’m publishing my own? Or just happier? . . #maywrapup #bookstack #onceghostedtwiceshy #alyssacole #onhell #johannahedva #satorpress #merlinsbooke #janeyolen #tentacle #ritaindiana #andotherstories #thebridetest #helenhoang #civilwarpoetryandprose #waltwhitman #supersikh #supersikhloveselvishatesbadguys #eileenkauralden #supreetsinghmanchanda #stormoflocusts #rebeccaroanhorse #howtobehappy #eleanordavis https://www.instagram.com/p/ByLPUIEgMvc/?igshid=5jr6v14femly

My May TBR is shockingly low on library books. I actually still have so many checked out (from the readathon) that I’ll have to take most back before I get to them, but I just couldn’t decide which ones to prioritize today. . I had started The Creation of Inequality ages ago and was reading a chapter a day until I just... fell off. I don’t know if I’ll finish it this month, but I need to get back into it before I truly forget everything about everything. . . #maytbr #tbr #bookstack #onhell #johannahedva #satorpress #waltwhitman #civilwarpoetryandprose #tseliot #oldpossumsbookofpracticalcats #yukiomishima #thesailorwhofellfromgracewiththesea #sarahvowell #lafayetteinthesomewhatunitedstates #stormoflocusts #rebeccaroanhorse #thecreationofinequality #howtobehappy #eleanordavis #booknerd #bibliophile https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw-EztyHfyi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qkvyblhlnr3l

Weekend book haul. A local church was having a big used book sale, so of course I had to go. I picked up this stack, plus a few books my kid picked out, for five bucks. Actually, it was $3, but that was too ridiculous even for my cheapskate ways, so I told them to keep the change. . It’s safe to say I’m never missing this particular book sale again. What’s your favorite source for used books? . . #bookhaul #bookstack #bookhoard #einsteinsdreams #alanlightman #annihilation #jeffvandermeer #wolfhall #hilarymantel #waltwhitman #civilwarpoetryandprose #janeausten #theannotatedpersuasion https://www.instagram.com/p/BuXGNFenlrE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1je734n4q9upa
