Happy Book Lovers Day, everyone!
It’s been raining a bit more here lately, and autumn decorations are coming into stores, so I’m beginning to feel a little extra bookish. 😉
I’ve recently been getting into Agatha Christie novels, and I finished my second (and a new favorite!!) late last night/early this morning. It was so mind-blowingly good!
Even before I finished it, I snagged another of her mysteries on our vacation thrifting because I’m now officially a fan. 😂
Yes, I also got a DW novel. (TenRose are life. 😍😍)
Speaking of vacation, I toted my books around in the most adorable red polka book sleeves The Very Awesome Mikayla made for me. I love how safe it kept them, and it was really, really cute. I’ll definitely have to share a picture sometime.
My notebooks weren’t *quite* as fortunate, getting a little bent out of shape, so when a favorite small business had a sale, I decided to splurge and get a big book sleeve that will hopefully fit a notebook or two. 😎
This is the one I got. Isn’t it adorable? 😍
In other bookish news, I get to start a very cool buddy read, and my living room is haunted by new book stock with even more coming.
Tell me about your bookish life! I’d love to hear what you’re reading, hoping to read, needing to read, etc.

Ooh, so fun!! I can’t wait to read Agatha Christie…. I picked up one of her books the other day at a thrift store in AZ. I’m saving it to read in fall, lol! 😂 And oh yes, I’m more than ready for fall too… Bring it on!! Also, *gasp* That book sleeve is adorable! LOVE those colors. 😀 ❤️

Ohhh, Agatha Christie’s books are incredible!!! Lol, I have so many books I’m in the middle of reading right now, so I’m trying to finish the ones I need to write reviews for, and then I want to reread some of my all-time favorite like the Wingfeather Saga, The Queen’s Rising (and Resistance), and Lord of the Rings. 😉 😀

I can’t believe it took me this long to find that out??!! Like, I knew that intellectually, but I didn’t *know* and I’m so excited to get to read her stuff now. Ah, relatable. Sounds fabulous (and also like you’re possibly in a fall mood with those picks? 😁).

You can’t go wrong with Agatha Christie! Also, I never knew how amazing book sleeves are until I was gifted one recently… It’s so soft and puffy and perfect! 🥺📚 I’m currently attempting to read more nonfiction, and it’s been a great experience! 🙂 ❤

Right?! I read one of her earliest mysteries first, and even that one gave me chills (I actually started screaming while reading the climax 🤣).
Me too, me too! 😍
Yeah, thanks for asking! I’m interested in politics, Christian memoirs and other Christian nonfiction, and “self-help” books. 🙂

Oh my goodness, your booksleeve is sooo pretty! I’ve never heard of them before (but now I have a really cool gift idea for the family lol.)
Sounds like you have some really exciting reads ahead! I’m hoping to read some online short stories (some friends hosted short story contests on their blogs, and I’m way behind in reading them XD).
