{TTT} Bookish Issues That Have To Go!

Posted October 6, 2015 in Reading / 20 Comments


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly link-up hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week’s list is the Top Ten Bookish Things I Want to Quit Or Have Quit. Therefore, I give you my Top Ten Bookish Issues That Have To Go!

1. The Never-Ending Bought Books TBR

I seriously have some books at my house that I doubt I will ever read. I purchased them on a whim and I have to stop doing that. Seriously though, I –at times– buy too many books at once. This simply won’t do as it makes the TBR way too long.

2. The Strange Case of the Library Hold List

Have you ever just checked exactly how many books are on your library hold list and been totally amazed? This happened more to me when I lived in Wisconsin but it still, occasionally, happens here in Montana as well. Suddenly I will have like fifty million holds and they will all come in at once!

3. The Sad State of the Borrowed Book

When you lend a book and it comes back wrinkled, that is one of the worst things ever! I should just stop lending books. My books are my precious books. I love them and everyone else should keep their fingers to their own books (unless you’re my sister and then I might let you borrow if you beg nicely).

Wow, March is over already. Lent is almost over and it is Holy Week already! Crazy to think how fast everything went this year.

Things that Happened in March

  • I designed covers for my journals. They are just composition books from WalMart/Shopko. I design a 7×9 image in Photoshop, print, and tape on. I love them!

When Digory and Polly are tricked by Digory’s peculiar Uncle Andrew into becoming part of an experiment, they set off on the adventure of a lifetime. What happens to the children when they touch Uncle Andrew’s magic rings is far beyond anything even the old magician could have imagined.
Hurtled into the Wood between the Worlds, the children soon find that they can enter many worlds through the mysterious pools there. In one world they encounter the evil Queen Jadis, who wreaks havoc in the streets of London when she is accidentally brought back with them. When they finally manage to pull her out of London, unintentionally taking along Uncle Andrew and a coachman with his horse, they find themselves in what will come to be known as the land of Narnia.
