This #SockSunday I'm busy busy packing up to go back home to Ottawa for the holidays, but I'm sneaking some reading under the Christmas tree. 🎄 I'm about to crack open this book from the library and finish it before I leave on Wednesday. Anyone here read it? 📖 . . . . . . #amreading #christmas #christmastree #lazysunyday #cozy #bookstagram #book #books #christmasbook #holidaze #booknerd #bookworm #bookaholic #amreadingromance #coverlove #onemorechapter #currentread #booklove #instareads #goodreads #read #reading #reader #bibliophile #onemorepage
My short story "The Ghost of a Chance" is published in Poet's Haven's latest digest. Every story in the collection begins with the famous and cliché line "It was a stormy night...". .📖🎄📖. I personally had a lot of fun writing this short story. All the stories in the collection are light and humorous. This is the perfect read to cozy up to this Christmas! .🎄📖🎄. I haven't received my copy in the mail yet, so I printed out a picture of the cover for this picture. I can't wait to get my hands on this! ❤️ . . . . . . #amreading #amwriting #author #writer #writing #christmas #christmasvillage #book #books #bookstagram #booknerd #darkandstormy #literary #fiction #booklove #bookphotography #anthology #shortstory #shortstories #writersfollowwriters #awritechristmas #bookworm #writingcommunity #writersofig #authorsofig #read #write #published
It's my birthday! I got some delightful bookish presents, including this book from @power9083, a cute Pennywise bookmark from @torisstories, and EXIT the game from @alexanightfire, and the game One Night Werewolf from a lovely coworker. It was a fabulous day! Now I'm going to play video games with my sister. Time to kill zombies and prepare myself mentally for the #25infive readathon that starts tomorrow! . . . . . . #amreading #booklover #bookblog #bookworm #booknerd #bibliophile #bookphotography #runes #tarot #goodread #literary #fiction #book #books #onemorechapter #instareads #igreads #read #reader #bookblogger #edgarallanpoe #horror #horrorclassic #horrorfan #amreadinghorror #christmas #christmastree
My coworker picked me up this lovely thumb page holder when she was shopping at a bookstore! I love it! 😍 . In this picture, I'm reading Lady Killers: Deadly Women throughout History by Tori Telfer. I just love the illustrations in this book! 😍 Full review to come soon 📚 .

New Book review! "Practical Magic" by Alice Hoffman. . Synopsis: Practical Magic follows Owens sisters Gillian and Sally as they live their lives. They grew up in a town in Massachusetts where their family was shunned by the entire town. It was believed that the women in their household were responsible for every terrible (or even mildly inconvenient) thing that happened. As adults, the sisters part ways, escaping the town to find better lives, but they’re inexplicably drawn back together. . I fell in love with the writing style within the first few lines. Hoffman is both eloquent and tantalizing with each word that she has so carefully selected. It begins with a narrative setting the scene, but around fifty pages in, I realized that the whole book was like this. It’s too much narrative. Pages after pages of long paragraphs, with very little action to move the plot forward. Every now and then there is dialogue, but the nature of the narrative pulls the reader away from what is happening. I didn’t truly connect with what was happening. . I recommend this book to those who love an engrossing writing style, but aren’t expecting a lot in the form of plot. The characters are a major appeal for this book, and it’s hard to determine who will like them and who will not. I suggest you give the book a shot if you’re wanting to read a book about witchcraft that isn’t a horror or a romance. . ✩ ✩ ✩ .

I picked up these three ornaments at Bronner's Christmas Wonderland a couple of weeks ago. Because I don't have enough Harry Potter stuff OR enough ornaments for my tree. 😂 But these were too cute to resist! 😍 . . . . . . . #bibliophile #harrypotter #bronners #christmas #holidays #ornaments #potterhead #amreading #booknerd #bookworm #collector #hermione #bookphotography #bookaholic #harrypotterchristmas #hogwarts #hallmark #witches #wizards #slytherin #harrypotterfan
