November Book Haul – Part 1 (feat. pretty pictures, because I’m that extra)

Hello, lovelies! Because I have zero shelf-control (pun intended) when it comes to both buying books and entering giveaways, my collection has grown a fair bit this past month. For reasons I don’t quite understand, I have been winning a TON of giveaways, mostly from Goodreads, but one or two from other sources as well. A lot of these are ARCs, and a couple of them came with bookmarks, so that’s cool too. Not going to bother with fancy captions on most of these, so just sit back, relax, and enjoy the pictures.

Stay tuned for later reviews of these, and more! The 2020 ARCs just keep coming…

Top Ten Tuesday 11/12 – Bookmark Bonanza!

Damn, K-Specks! Back at it again with the Top Ten Tuesday! (Sorry for resurrecting that old meme for the sake of an interesting intro…) TTT is a weekly themed post hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme is very straightforward: “Favorite Bookmarks.”

Now, given the “Don’t have a bookmark?” meme that was trending a couple months ago that started with Chex Mix and just got worse, I considered just making this post a compilation of my favorite responses to it (The Strand bookstore had some especially good riffs on it). However, I figured I also have plenty of my own bookmarks and bookmark substitutes that would make an equally entertaining post, and probably not one you’ve seen before.

I need to stop with these long intros. Just go on to the list already.
