The Picky Pages Project

Yup. That's right. I'm still reading Lightfall book 2! No idea why it is taking me quite so long. Maybe it's has something to do with the chaos that is life right now. Maaaaybe im savoring the read just a bit more than usual. I love a good road trip! Either I get to read in the passenger seat, or I drive and everyone falls asleep and I get to listen to my audiobook. Either way, I love a good road trip! #currentlyreading #raiseareader #loveofreading #bookcommunity #bookpeople #roadtrip #lightfall #read #readerlife #graphicnovel #getcaughtreading https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_WIEztc6l/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another weekend of making maple syrup 🍁 #maplesyrup #houseinthewoods #canadian #sosweet https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp9BdDBN0Md/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here's another one I haven't read yet, but am dying to! I love Louis Sachar! You might know him as the author of "Holes", but I absolutely loved his book "Fuzzy Mud" and his short stories from the "Sideways Stories from Wayside School" series(excellent for reluctant readers!!). Aaaaanyway, enough about books that are not featured here... When I picked this book out of the clearance section I originally thought it would be about poker. To hear that it was a book, for teens, about bridge completely intrigued me! I've heard amazing things about this story, and I love a book that teaches me something new! Apparently you start to learn a thing or two about bridge! #bookfriends #bookish #bookcommunity #booklover #bookstagram #raiseareader #ireadya #tbr #backlistbooks #read #readmorebooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp8CiCrOtTa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Looking for some super easy crafts to do for st. Patrick's day today? So was I, because I forgot St. Patrick's day was today! The kids loved making these rainbow bracelets (you can make necklaces too)! You just need fruitloops and string or pipe cleaners. I made little shamsock name tags because I knew they would mix them up and fight...but I think they look cute!! Bonus: this can count as one of the 100,000 snacks they ask for today! 😅 We also made these paintings! Just any kid friendly paint (either green and gold/yellow or rainbow colors, or whatever you want!) and some Qtips. I cut out and taped on these 4 leaf clovers because they were meant to be a negative space painting, but we wanted to move on to something else and didn't place enough dots to have it make sense....but that's okay! It turned out anyway 😘 #stpatricksday #luckoftheirish #crafttime #toddlerlife #rainbow #easycrafts https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5foYeu4ww/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"One Day on our Blue Planet...in the Antartic" by Ella Bailey. Both kids loved this one! Leena loved trying to find the main character on each page, Ryker just loved all the different animals! 😆 I thought I was pretty "up" on my animals, but there were a few surprises for me😅 #antarticanimals #raiseareader #storytime https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2tCSaO--A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nobody's Princess by Esther Friesner ! I was supposed to read this for a book club I co-hosted, butI haven't actually read it yet!! Sometimes ya don't read the book in time, and that's okay!! Life happens. I have heard that it is a great book from everyone who has read it! If you enjoy Greek mythology or books with strong and sassy female characters, you might just enjoy this one!! #backlist #tbr #greekmythology #nobodysprincess https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpquho8uaO5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Reading is my superpower....responsibilities are my kryptonite! Fun fact....I went in to get a better angle on this pic but Ryker already stole my orange!! He is currently finishing off the rest of my breakfast. At least i managed to snag a couple of grapes... #currentlyreading #bookcommunity #bookstagram #booklove #goodmorning #startthedayright #books https://www.instagram.com/p/CnzXkLpuInc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hey there book friends!! Here's my face! And here is my current read! I picked up this book as soon as it came out, but I'm only just getting into it now. I was strangely stressed out about the first read of the year. I've seen so many posts about how the first book sets the mood for the reading year. Last year's first book was the comfort book by Matt Haig, and it was a perfect choice! I'm excited to go on this journey of discovery with Elliot while she uncovers who she wants to be. Also, as I go back to school for publishing, how fitting is it that I read a book written by one of the very first book tubers I've ever watched? I'm completely hooked! I'm already halfway through! Thank you @margotmwood 😘 #booklove #fresh #currentlyreading #bookcommunity #bookstagram #bookshimmy https://www.instagram.com/p/CnIhokJL2aF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I love a good road trip. Whether it's me driving while listening to an audiobook or someone else driving while I read or catch up on social media, it's always a good time. It kind of blows my mind that some people can't read while in a moving car! I've just always done it! Can you read in the car? #getcaughtreading #roadtrip #lucky #booklove #bookstagram #bookcommunity #reader #currentlyreading https://www.instagram.com/p/CnAUUmzuAh5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Currently Reading: The Black Witch! Loving this story so much!! They say that if a book has a map in it, you know it will be epic. So far I know this to be true! Have you read the Black Witch Chronicles?

I once wrote a story that was published in a magazine! It was about following a unicorn into the woods. If I remember correctly, I stepped over or through branches that looked like a doorway, into a land full of magic where the unicorns lived. This is pretty close to what I was imagining! Maybe I'll spot a unicorn?!? . . . #nature #storytime #story #unicorn #forrest #magic #GetOutside #fall #autumn #magicdoor https://www.instagram.com/p/CjjHfQlL5dq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
