This beautiful book arrived at our store yesterday This beautiful book arrived at our store yesterday. First time I had heard of it. Really beautiful young child version of #malalayousafzai ‘s story. The attack is not detailed, so even a young child could learn from her story without having to be introduced to the horrific details before they are ready. Imaginative and inspirational story by @malala with gorgeous illustrations by @kerascoet_ #inspiringchildrensbooks #bookstagram #learningwithpicturebooks #inspirationalbooks #inspirationalbooksforkids #picturebooks #picturebooksofinstagram
I ran out of space on my phone (a VERY old phone) I ran out of space on my phone (a VERY old phone) from all the awesome #bookfinds I have discovered at work! (I work at a book store, in the kids’ dept)…so I spent the last couple weeks not recording any of the books I have found! 😢. Time to start posting these!! This will take a while! #somanybookssolittletime Today’s #adorablebook is sure to get your #childrenlaughing at the utter #silliness !

I just discovered this book at work yesterday… # I just discovered this book at work yesterday… #bookscavenger by @jabertie & was immediately intrigued by the game! Sounds a lot like #letterboxing & #geogaching! So I checked out the #audiobook from my #library (LOVE the #libbyapp!) and am really enjoying the story! Which got me wondering if a game like this actually existed IRL. Apparently it does! Though it appears to be on hiatus? Anyone know what’s going on if/when it will return? It does look like there are some books to be found still near my area…but I am still investigating. For more info, check out https://bookscavenger.com

My current view. Resting on the couch with a #migr My current view. Resting on the couch with a #migraine, listening to the audiobook of #thehouseintheceruleansea on one of the first cool days this season. Windows open! With my buddy Alfie (Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All) keeping watch. Yes we are a #whovian family. It’s a lovely day, despite the head pain. #cooldays are finally here!!

This is my life right now. #livingwithpain ...I co This is my life right now. #livingwithpain ...I constantly rotate my day with this #tensunit and a heating pad. Either the clay microwaveable one seen behind it here, or the battery operated one in another of my insta pics. All.Day.Long. Lather, rinse, repeat. Constant awful pain. Unending. Weeks and months on end. No end in sight. #frozenshoulder pain sucks #homeschoolinglife #homeschoolingmom #over50women

Panel 1 of my #temperaturebkanket complete FINALLY Panel 1 of my #temperaturebkanket complete FINALLY! The white stripes separate the months...so I am still very behind. This shows the temps through mid-March. Got a lot to catch up on still! I got way behind because I discovered (after I had already done over 2 months of work) I had messed up the edge, doing it wrong, and had to start over or it would have driven me nuts. Fixed now but got me way behind. It’s all good, I still have lots of year left to catch up! #temperatureblanket2021 #crochetersofinstagram #homeschoolinglife #hobbiesareimportant

I found this list online years ago after I finishe I found this list online years ago after I finished binge-watching #gilmoregirls and always meant to work my way through it. For those not in the know, it is all the books that Rory Gilmore is seen or mentions reading in the series Gilmore Girls. (Rory is a HUGE bookworm and ALWAYS reading a book!) I even printed it up and highlighted the children’s and nonfiction, so I could easily find them (there are 339 books here!)...checked off the books I’ve read (not many on THIS list), crossed off the ones I am not at all interested in/know I won’t be reading, and penciled in the topics of many of the nonfiction so I can see at a glance easily when I am looking for something new to read. Then it went in a drawer, #forgotten. Recently I have been very much reliving my lifelong #passionforbooks and dug it back out! I don’t plan to read everything here...I know they won’t all interest me...but I like that there are so very many that I have always wanted to read and many new ones I have never heard of! I track everything I read on GoodReads, if you want to follow me there, my username is tinamama. #discoverbooks #bookwormlife #bookstagram #booklover #rorygilmore #readersofinstagram #readmorebooks #goodreads #goodreadschallenge2021 #homeschoolmomlife #bookwormsunite
