Bookshelf: Fall Book Binge

in ,

This fall I went on a complete book binge. The more I read, the more I wanted to read. There are worse habits of course… but I absolutely ignored the children on occasion as I finished a chapter. (Oops!)

I’ve kept a better record on Instagram and love the little virtual book club DM convos I have going on there. That’s where all these pics are from.

I loved every single one of these, go read ‘em all! But the three I keep recommending are Outlawed by Anna North (feminist alternative-world Western!) Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder (absolutely batshit, hilarious, dark look at early motherhood), and Gentrifier by Spruceton Inn Artist Resident Anne Elizabeth Moore (smart, funny, considered).

I also gussied up where all these books live and painted the bookshelves (for the third time since moving here, ayayayay that f*cking beadboard is SO TEDIOUS TO PAINT):

I’ve been craving more color recently, and eight years into living here we’re pretty past the let’s-just-paint-it-white-and-see-what-we’re-working-with-before-we-make-any-big-decisions phase. It’s Benjamin Moore Clearspring Green and I am verrrrrry pleased with how it came out! Naturally I’m now considering all the other colors we can paint all the other rooms now, but first, there are more books to be read!
