QOTD: Pumpkin spice or apple cinnamon? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hello Bookstagram 👋 How is everyone’s day going so far? Last night I started to rewatch The West Wing, which is one of my favourite shows ❤️ Today I’m hoping to go to the bookstore and to go on a quest for pumpkin donuts 🍩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Day 15 of #bookishcanadianssept19 is great leaders and I think that Inspector Gamache is an amazing leader ❤️ If you’re interested, @readingintherockies is hosting #readiscoverthreepines, which is a Louise Penny read-along! I’m super excited to dive back into the world of Three Pines next month with a reread of Still Life ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The bookmark in this picture is from @bookmarkingbyval and I believe she has a sale going on right now ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #autumnreads #bookishcanadians #bookstagram #bookworm #bookdragon #louisepenny #stilllife #inspectorgamache #readthenorth
QOTD: What song are you listening to on repeat this weekend? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hello Bookstagram 👋 How is everyone’s weekend going so far? I’ve been listening to RAIN by @bensplatt on repeat most of the day while dancing around the house 💃🏻 Later today I’m hoping to read a bit more of Toil and Trouble and to work on my review of Albatross 📚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Day 14 of #bookishcanadianssept19 is Underrated Books! The Best Laid Plans and The High Road are two of my favourite books and they’re perfect for this time of year, because it’s election season in Canada 🇨🇦 Election Day is on October 21st this year, and it’s important that you take the time to research the parties and their positions, and to go out and vote! Taking the time to vote is easy and apathy isn’t an option ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thebestlaidplans #thehighroad #terryfallis #readthenorth #bookishcanadians #bookstagram #bookworm #bookdragon
QOTD: What’s your favourite video game? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hello Bookstagram 👋 How was everyone’s day today? Today was an uneventful day, and it’s also my birthday 🎉 I’m currently having a glass of wine and watching Jeopardy, which is pretty typical for a Thursday 🍷 Later tonight I’m hoping to get some reading in 📚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Day 12 of #bookishcanadianssept19 is national Video Game Day! I’m not really into video games, but I do play Pokemon Go from time to time. I still have to read and watch Ready Player One, but I’ve heard good things about it ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #readyplayerone #ernestcline #bookstagram #bookishcanadians #bookworm #bookdragon #happyhelloco #happyhelloart
QOTD: What does your dream reading nook look like? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hello Bookstagram 👋 How was everyone’s day today? Today was a good day for book mail because Frankly in Love arrived! I’ve heard great things about this book and I’m excited to read it 💛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Day 11 of #bookishcanadianssept19 is reading nook. This prompt made me think about Levi’s attic room in Fangirl, because it sounds like it could be a super cozy reading nook ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #fangirl #rainbowrowell #bookishcanadians #bookstagram #autumnvibes #bookworm #bookdragon
QOTD: Do you read memoirs? If so, what are some of your favourites? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hello Bookstagram 👋 How was everyone’s day today? I’m having a super procrasinaty and unproductive day 🙈 I’m blaming the unproductiveness on the unwelcome wave of humidity that hit today. I’m hoping that it cools down soon, because the hot weather is messing with my autumn vibes 🍂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Day 10 of #bookishcanadianssept19 is Mental Health Awareness ❤️ Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by @thebloggess is such an amazing memoir that deals with mental health, it’s also laugh-out-loud funny, which is always a bonus 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #letspretendthisneverhappened #jennylawson #thebloggess #autumnvibes #bookishcanadians #bookstagram #bookworm #bookdragon
QOTD: Do you like mysteries? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hello Bookstagram 👋 How was everyone’s day? I’m currently trying to draft tomorrow’s Top 5 Tuesday blog post and it’s a struggle 🙈 Some days words are easy and other days, like today, they’re hard. Hopefully I can get the creative juices flowing soon, and if not, I’ll just call it a night and read 📚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Day 9 of #bookishcanadianssept19 is A book that surprised you! Even though I love Agatha Christie and other detective stories, I am awful at guessing who the killer is 🙈 The ending almost always surprises me, which keeps the genre fun ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #agathachristie #bookstagram #bookishcanadians #murderontheorientexpress #deathonthenile #themysteriousaffairatstyles #themurderofrogerackroyd #bookstack #autumnvibes #herculepoirot
