  • Bookish magic or judging a book by its cover🙊

    Anyone else wander around the bookstore/library and just wait for a book to call to you? I do this a lot and I take my time with it. For the most part, I don’t think it’s failed me yet! I think I’m basically piecing together things I like about the cover- colors, art style, elements, title, etc. but I do find it to be like a little touch of magic for readers. Is that just me 😂

    What’s a book you picked up purely on ✨vibes✨ and how did it turn out??

  • 7 Deadly Sin Book Choices

    I just saw someone do this on instagram and thought it would be so much fun for PB!

    Share with us your 7 Deadly Sin book choices:

    1. Lust (or books you picked up just because of the cover)
    2. Pride (or difficult book you’ve read)
    3. Gluttony (or books you’ve read more than once)
    4. Sloth (or the book that’s been on your TBR the longest)
    5. Greed (or books you’ve read own multiple copies of)
    6. Wrath (or books that you despise)
    7. Envy (or books you want to live in)

    I’ll go first. Mine are:

    1. Lust - sadly, I do this a lot 🫣 I love to judge a book by its cover…Heart the Lover, When I Open the Shop, Tom Lake, How to Loiter in a Turf War to name just a few
    2. Pride - The Beguilled was a tough read. So was The Tin Drum. I also loved One Hundred Years of Solitude but found it a challenging read.
    3. Gluttony - haven’t done much rereading since I was a child so probably Alanna: The First Adventure would be my most reread
    4. Sloth - The Count of Monte Cristo has been on the list since forever
    5. Greed - I don’t have more than one copy of any book! I just don’t know why you’d need/want that 😂😂
    6. Wrath - I thought Rodham was such a creepy book to have written about real and still alive people. Especially, putting words and thoughts into Hilary’s mouth about such sexualised moments and passing the whole thing off as supportive of her and feminist in general? I felt yucky reading it.
    7. Envy - probably any cosy magical place…Emily Wilde’s academic magic adventures seem like a bit of me 😊
