March Reading Wrap-up

April 13, 2019 ~ shegetsliterary ~ 8 Comments

So it's the second week into April but I havent really had a moment to sit back and reflect on what books I finished in March. For some reason I thought maybe I hadn't been that successful but it turns out I hit my average by reading 4 books. Woohoo! Here's what I read and … Continue reading March Reading Wrap-up

I'm using today's post to highlight a shop returning! Wicked Whimsy Boutique temporarily closed but thank goddess she's open again 🖤. . This is my Belle's Library necklace and I absolutely love it. . She has all sorts of unique and beautiful bookish items, plus some non-bookish ones too. Don't forget to use my code GETLIT for a discount! . Let's finish this morning's post off with a Beauty and the Beast themed predictive text game. Bonus points if you remember what scene this is 😂. . "How can you read this? There's no ...". . Here's mine: How can you read this? There's no way to get the ball rolling. . Haha strange. . -S🖤. . . . . . #belle #beautifulbooks #beautyandthebeast #bookishmerch #shopsunday #supportsmallbusiness #igreads #readersofinstagram #bookaholic #booklover #bookloves #lovetoread #bookish #bookcommunity #fairytales #booksforever

Happy Saturday!. . So I got tagged for two different selfie posts and I'm going to do my best to combine them both in this post. Multitasking my dudes 💪. . First I was tagged by @thatwinenerd for the #lookforward selfie. Post a picture of yourself thinking of something you're looking forward to. Who doesn't want to add some positive thoughts to their day? Especially now. So here's me, I'm looking forward to August when this little baby makes its debut. . Secondly I was tagged by @cemetery.of.forgotten.books for a current read selfie. Little Secrets is my current read and I'm loving it. A thriller was exactly what I needed to pull me out of a reading slump. . So I've tagged a bunch of you and you can do either or both of these. Or none 😅 You do you. If I didn't tag you please feel free to do them anyways. IG only lets me tag so many. . I'm looking forward to seeing you and your current reads 😁. (See what I did there?). . -S🖤. . . . . #bookselfie #currentlyreading #selfiesaturday #positivevibes #bookbabe #booknerd #readingissexy #lovetoread #bookstagram #bookishcanadians #booktography #babybump #preggolife #yegmom #momofthree #secondtrimester #bloggertribe #workingmom #bookishthoughts #spreadjoynotgerms #ootd #hm #bookishallure #minotaurinfluencers

How was your reading in March?. . Mine was horrendous 🙈 lol but I did manage to finish 2 books. I DNF'd 2, and I carried 2 partially read into April. . It was hard to focus on reading for me. I was either needing something different as an outlet or just too dang tired by the end of the day to focus for longer than a page or two before bed. I even failed a buddy read and I'm late in another. The shame!!. . 🍀Here's to a better reading month in April!. . -S🖤. . . . . . . #flatlayfriday #simpleandstill #bookishaesthetic #booksarelife #lovetoread #bookcommunity #readingwrapup #march #readingplans #prettyaesthetic #bibliophile #bookaholic #booksofig #bookphotography #bookobsessed #booknerd #unitedbookstagram #bookstagrammers #yeggers #thatsdarling

A bit of a throwback Thursday I suppose. This book is one that I really enjoyed but most people I talk to about books haven't heard of it. . Do you have a book like that?. . Here's the synopsis for The Birth of Venus: Alessandra Cecchi is not quite fifteen when her father, a prosperous cloth merchant, brings a young painter back from northern Europe to decorate the chapel walls in the family’s Florentine palazzo. A child of the Renaissance, with a precocious mind and a talent for drawing, Alessandra is intoxicated by the painter’s abilities. But their burgeoning relationship is interrupted when Alessandra’s parents arrange her marriage to a wealthy, much older man. Meanwhile, Florence is changing, increasingly subject to the growing suppression imposed by the fundamentalist monk Savonarola, who is seizing religious and political control. Alessandra and her native city are caught between the Medici state, with its love of luxury, learning, and dazzling art, and the hellfire preaching and increasing violence of Savonarola’s reactionary followers. Played out against this turbulent backdrop, Alessandra’s married life is a misery, except for the surprising freedom it allows her to pursue her powerful attraction to the young painter and his art. . . . . #throwbookthursday #throwbackthursday #thebirthofvenus #historicalfiction #historical #womensfiction #art #prettyaesthetic #bookishaesthetic #bookishallure #booksharks #bookdragon #lovetoread #bookish #bookoftheday #booktography #goodbooks #booklove

Happy April Fool's Day!. . No jokes around here. I think we're all a bit weary from all this strange chaos that is going on. Pranks can park it. . Speaking of oddities though, I wanted to talk about books that made you go "WTF did I just read?". In a bad or a good way!. . For me the first book that pops to mind is The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks. It's certainly one of the strangest and creepier books I've read. Yet so quiet. And I didn't hate it, I actually found it interesting. But it was absolutely one of those wtf did I just read books. 😂. . Let's get weird today book friends!. . -S🖤. . . . . #unconventional #odd #strange #booknerdigans #bookish #booksofinstagram #bookoftheday #booktography #booked #bookit #readaholic #bookworms #bookwormproblems #flatlay #bookster #booksta #bookblog #yegblog #bookgirl #wegetliterary #nichisreadingnook

Finishing off March with a post dedicated to a lovely being. . @christinastephaniereads has been leading an awareness campaign on Instagram called #inmarchwestackyellowforendo . Her page has a lot of good information on Endometriosis and she has been very open and kind in sharing her story. Please head over there for all of this and maybe follower her too (she's great, you won't regret it). . -S💛. . . . . . . #yellowstack #yellowbookstack #yellowbooks #allyellow #booktography #booksforever #booknerdsunite #bookcommunity #bookloves #bookfriends #booksbooksbooks #lookatmybook #igbooks #booksofinstagram #booknerdigans #bookishallure
