How to read more in 2020

Follow me on Instagram!

So I’ve been sticking to my February Possibility Pile pretty well so far. Here are the books I still have left! I’m currently reading Scythe, and I’ve read the first short story in Sword of Destiny. 👍🏼 ⠀⠀ Does anyone else get super annoyed by graphic design faux pas? The spine of Foul is Fair reallllyyyy bothers me. The white font on the yellow background is difficult to read, which is actually an accessibility issue. The copy I have is an ARC, so they could have actually changed the design for the final version. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀ Hope everyone has a great reading weekend! . . . . . #possibilitypile #tbr #nowreading #readinglife #bibliophile #booksbooksbooks #bookishlife #bookish #bookcommunity #bookstagramSC #readingtime #readersofinstagram #toread #upstatescbookstagram #currentlyreading #welovebooks #bookstagrammer In a quest to conquer my TBR and assuage my book guilt, I’m reading some of my most recent purchases this month. Today I’m starting this poetry collection by Seema Reza. ⠀⠀ I bought this on an anniversary trip this past fall at @firestormcoop, and I brought so many books with me on that trip that I never ended up reading this one. Its time has come! ⠀ Now that I’m finished with grad school, I’m trying to make more time for the things I love. I studied creative writing in undergrad, and I write poetry. This year, I want to read more poetry so that I can get inspiration and also see what’s going on in the genre. ⠀⠀ Unrelated, but this picture makes me want to go out and buy more plants. I can’t wait for spring! . . . . . . . #poetry #tbr #nowreading #readinglife #bibliophile #booksbooksbooks #bookishlife #bookish #bookcommunity #bookstagramSC #readingtime #readersofinstagram #toread #upstatescbookstagram #currentlyreading #welovebooks One of my reading goals for this year is to read all of Brandon Sanderson’s books. This one is up next! ⠀⠀ If you’re into board games, there is a co-op based off this series called The Reckoners. I played it once before I had even read the books and really enjoyed it! ⠀⠀ Also, we had a lovely snow day here in the upstate yesterday. We don’t get a lot of snow here, so it was extra special. ⠀⠀ What are you reading this week? . . . . . . #TheReckoners #BrandonSanderson #snowday #tbr #nowreading #readinglife #bibliophile #booksbooksbooks #bookishlife #bookish #bookcommunity #bookstagramSC #readingtime #readersofinstagram #toread #upstatescbookstagram #currentlyreading #welovebooks #SandersonSunday It’s unseasonably warm here, so it feels weird saying that this is my February possibility pile. It’s like April outside, and I’m not ready! I need a snow day before spring. ⠀⠀ Here’s what I might be reading this month: ⠀⠀ • A Good Neighborhood • A Constellation of Half-Lives • Something Bright, Then Holes • Follow Me To Ground • Foul is Fair • Scythe • Steelheart ⠀⠀ In this stack are 2 ARCs for February releases, 4 books from my TBR, and 1 library book. I would be making some great progress if I actually read all of these. 😂 ⠀⠀ Tell me about your upcoming reading plans! . . . . . . . . #februarytbr #tbr #possibilitypile #toread #nowreading #readinglife #bibliophile #booksbooksbooks #bookishlife #bookish #bookcommunity #bookstagramSC #readingtime #readersofinstagram #upstatescbookstagram #currentlyreading #welovebooks I’m listening to this on audio, and I don’t own a copy, so here’s this extremely disturbing image of the cover that I found on the internet. One of my local bookstores is hosting a reading challenge for this year, and January’s prompt was an adult classic you’ve never read. I’ve read my share of classics, but somehow avoided Kafka! #mjudsonbooks #readingchallenge #upstatescbookstagram #bookstagramSC #audiobooks #welovebooks #mjreads2020 I had another reading buddy with me this morning, and this time it was Thor. He’s not usually big on cuddles, so it was nice to have him join me for a little while. ⠀⠀ I finished In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado! It was an eye-opening read, because domestic abuse in queer relationships isn’t often acknowledged or discussed. It’s very easy to buy into the “lesbian utopia” myth, which I have certainly been guilty of myself. ⠀⠀ I also loved the way Machado wrote this memoir as a series of scenes that correlated to tropes in fairytales and folklore. It’s stylistically very different from a traditional memoir, and it pays off. ⠀⠀ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, highly recommend! . . . . . . . . #IntheDreamHouse #bookreview #booksandcats #readinglife #bibliophile #booksbooksbooks #bookishlife #bookish #bookcommunity #bookstagramSC #readingtime #readersofinstagram #upstatescbookstagram #welovebooks
