#kimickaphotoaday July Day 20: Book Today is the first day of The Reading Rush (@thereadingrush). This is a very tentative TBR. In that, I don’t know if I’m going to read them all this week, and I might read something not pictures here. Lol. Most of these books I’ve been meaning to read/re-read. I also didn’t pick a book for every reading challenge. Anyway. Happy reading! #book #books #reading #thereadingrush #thereadingrush2020 #thereadingrushtbr #bookstagram #bekacooper #tamorapierce #allycarter #idtellyouiloveyoubutthenidhavetokillyou #allfalldown #theimmortals #wildmagic #theriddlesofepsilon #spindlesend #theforgottenbeastsofeld #patriciaamckillip #robinmckinley #christinemortonshaw #photo #photoaday #photoadaychallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/CC4kJbsJCcU/?igshid=153cmxnv2p9re

Happy Saturday friends! I hope you’ve been able to enjoy your weekend so far. Sorry for not posting a bookstack photo yesterday. Friday’s are generally really busy for me, which it’s not part of my regular posting schedule. And I guess I couldn’t fit it in this week either haha. ⁣ ☕️⁣ Anyway today’s Reading Rush challenge is to post a photo of my reading fuel. And like pretty much everyone else around here I am a huge fan of coffee. I especially love a good cold brew with some coconut creamer to start my day. Which of course has to be put in my beloved Blackhawks pint glasses! Side note: so excited to have hockey back next week!! ⁣ ☕️⁣ I’ve found that I get my best reading done in the morning as I’m waking up with coffee or as I’m getting ready for bed. So even if it’s not coffee, I’m having some sort of beverage while I read as I’m a big fan of hot tea with honey and lemon before bed. ⁣ ☕️⁣ Are you a coffee lover? If not what’s your drink of choice? I’m also a really big fan of matcha when I can get my hands on it! ⁣ ☕️⁣ #rrsnacks #readingrush #thereadingrush #readingrush2020 #thereadingrush2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CDFBRdtAAAa/?igshid=10qb01q3g8aeu

Good afternoon friends! Another later post as my sleep schedule is currently a mess haha. I stayed up late Tuesday night to watch a Twitch stream that was the end of Night in the Woods. And my body has not recovered lol! ⁣ ⚜️⁣ Today’s Reading Rush challenge is to post a photo where a book matches its background. And it just so happened that I had this photo sitting in my camera roll just waiting to be posted! I finished “The Seine: The River That Made Paris” over the weekend after slowly reading it through June. ⁣ ⚜️⁣ I was a really big fan of this book! I’ve mentioned a few times that one of my life goals is to visit France. So I read a lot about the country and what’s important to the citizens so I can be informed when I one day do visit the country! And there’s nothing that defines France quite like the major river, the Seine. ⁣ ⚜️⁣ I learned so much about different parts of the country reading this loving history of the river from Elaine Sciolino. But I felt like I learned the most about Paris and how it’s changed over the centuries. I could see the city and it’s changes in my minds eye and all the different people who have loved and explored the Seines banks. ⁣ ⚜️⁣ If you like history, travel, or France I would highly recommend this book! It made me add even more destinations to my dream France trip list when I do get there. ⁣ ⚜️⁣ #rrbackground #readingrush #thereadingrush #readingrush2020 #thereadingrush2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CDAEpFygDEP/?igshid=1b5cxcvnrt4q0

Good evening friends! It’s been a hectic day for me so getting around to posting a little bit later than usually. But I’m a night owl by trade so it doesn’t feel too out of the ordinary for me haha! ⁣ 🐕⁣ Today’s challenge for the Reading Rush is one I had to get pretty creative with my photos. It was to take a picture reading with your pet, but I don’t have a pet right now in Wisconsin. But my family has greyhounds back in Indiana so I improvised! ⁣ 🐕⁣ My stuffed greyhound Bella was given to me by my partner for Valentines Day last year! He knows how much I miss our family greyhounds back home, so he knew she’d be a welcome addition! So I have Bella to squeeze when I want a much needed “pet” cuddle. ⁣ 🐕⁣ Still working through Confess as I haven’t had a whole lot of time to read yesterday and today. I’m actually a lot busier this week than I expected so I’m looking forward to winding down with some reading at the end of the week. ⁣ 🐕⁣ Do you have a dream pet? I would love to have a house full of cats! ⁣ 🐕⁣ #rrbookpet #readingrush #thereadingrush #readingrush2020 #thereadingrush2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CC9qIZyAajH/?igshid=1u71cqwkhabf1

Hey friends! How are you doing this Tuesday? I’m having one of those days where everything is going a little too well, so I’m suspicious of the other shoe dropping haha. ⁣ 🎨⁣ Today’s Reading Rush challenge is to cosplay as a book character. So what better way to complete the challenge than dressing as one of the character in the book I’m reading right now! Auburn is a hairstylist who has recently moved to Dallas, Texas and picks up a second job working at an art gallery. ⁣ 🎨⁣ In the book she is described as wearing a borrowed white shirt and black skirt for working at the gallery. Which I used to be a performer and work in the arts, so I have plenty of white shirts and black skirts haha. While I’m not the biggest fan of Auburn at the moment, I did enjoy getting to dress up like her this morning! ⁣ 🎨⁣ If you could cosplay as any book character, who would it be? If I had no limits I’d definitely cosplay as Evelyn Hugo in one of her super fancy 1960s dresses! ⁣ 🎨⁣ #rrbookcosplay #readingrush #thereadingrush #readingrush2020 #thereadingrush2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6kMxqAGAC/?igshid=ck3n5fxuss7e

What’s up friends! Happy Monday and happy first day of The Reading Rush! So uh for a good portion of yesterday I thought today’s Instagram challenge was to dress like a book cover. And that’s not what it was haha. ⁣ 🏒⁣ The actual challenge for today is to recreate a book cover! I went with my biography of Keith Magnuson as it was a fairly easy cover to recreate. I already own a red Blackhawks jersey so it was simple to throw it on and pose in front of my bookcase like Magnuson on the cover! ⁣ 🏒⁣ I read this book back when I was in college and really loved learning about Magnuson. He played for the Hawks from 69-79, so right after the Cup era and the decline that followed. He was a feisty defenseman with a good heart, which tracks for my favorite types of players haha. I seem to like guys who are feisty on the ice but huge sweethearts off of it haha. ⁣ 🏒⁣ If you are a Blackhawks fan or like hockey, I’d recommend this book! It was fun to try and recreate it for The Reading Rush today! I started my first book last night with Confess and I’m hoping to get halfway through it today. ⁣ 🏒⁣ #rrbookcover #thereadingrush #thereadingrush2020 #readingrush https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3xSdkAj--/?igshid=p16hoohh1mwn
