I want one! The bearded reader is also wearing an intriguing outfit... Me doing research I have 5 papers and 8 books all open and scattered about a big table.

As I was deconstructing my #bookwheel the other day, my colored books fell over and I snapped a shot. I probably could’ve arranged them more proportionally, but I just really liked the way they fell and thought I’d leave well enough alone. I’ve found that in my photos (and in my life,tbh) the “accidents” often bring more joy than the best laid plans.. 🌈📚 #bookrainbow #rainbowvibes #bookishrainbow #coverlovin #nakedbooks #bookstagramming #booktography #bookworm #ficwishes https://www.instagram.com/p/BusAbMzHJvr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hijwlj84hn1h
