May is almost here, which means it’s almost time for #AlltheBooksMay22! Are you guys ready for a brand new book challenge??

Book challenges are great for so many reasons. Not only do they give you ideas for posts, but they also help you share your love for books, discover lots of awesome new books, and ways to interact with fellow bookworms as well!

To join along, just share a photo for each daily prompt using the monthly hashtag. Check the hashtag to see all the photos that have been shared for the challenge by fellow Bookworms. (You can also *follow* the hashtag to have posts from the challenge show up in your feed!) Feel free to post and interact as little or as much as you like.

Helpful Bookstgram Tips:
• Take a few days worth of photos at a time. It helps to have extras available if you get busy. Also, drafting out your posts ahead of time really helps as well.
• Natural lighting is great! Grab a book and head to your nearest window for some awesome lighting.
• Interact! It’s a great way to discover new books AND new people too!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! And feel free to share the challenge with your friends!

Tell me your last, current, and next reads!

Happy Monday, Bookworms! How was your weekend? Did you get lots of reading done?? My weekend was pretty good! I actually finished a book AND I got to see all of my family yesterday. It was a good weekend. How was yours??

And today let’s talk about our last, current, and next reads! I haven’t read much lately, but I recently finished *Gallant* and two Lisa Kleypas books. Today I’m hoping to read a bit more of *Loveless* by Alice Offman, and next I’m determined to read *The Atlas Six* by Olivie Blake. I keep picking it up, but haven’t been able to focus on it, so I may try the audiobook instead. What about you guys? What are your last, current, and next reads??

What’s the longest series you own? And/or, what’s the longest series you’ve read?

Happy Thursday! Do you guys see the weekend? It’s almost here! And I’m so ready for it. I’m taking advanatage of today being Thursday because I didn’t have time to take a photo yesterday and am using a throwback photo from last fall today. Just ignore the fall theme.

What’s the longest series that you own? I think the *Shadowhunter Chronicles* is the longest series that I own. If you include all the spin-off series, as I do, then it’s just one long series. I love these books so much! *City of Bones* is one of the books that made me love reading again way back when. What about you guys? What’s the longest series that you own?

Q: Do you have any pets? If so, tell me all about them! If not, what’s a pet you’d love to have?

Happy Monday, Bookworms! Did you have a good weekend? I hope you did! I took a much needed break from reality this weekend, and it was just what I needed. How was your weekend?

And it’s National Pet Day! Do you have any pets? We have quite a few! We have a dog, Molly, who just turned 15 yesterday. We also have two cats, Lizzie Bennet and Mr. Darcy, and four guinea pigs, Oscar & Oliver, and Hermione & Brownie. It’s always lots of fun at our house. Unfortunately I couldn’t get ANY our fur babies to cooperate long enough to take a photo this weekend, so instead I’m featuring a series that has one of my favorite felines, Grimalkin! Tell me about your pets now! Or, what’s a pet that you’d love to have??

What was your last 5 star read?? And, how do you decide if a book gets 5 stars??

Good Thursday Morning, Bookworms! Today is one of those days where I have no idea what day it is. I’m so tired, y’all.

Have you read any 5 star reads this year? If so, which books have you loved? (Because I’m totally going to buy some of them. ) Confession: I hate rating books. I hate having to choose between 1-5 stars. Basically, I either didn’t like a book, liked it, or REALLY like it. A 5 star read for me would probably be a book that WOWs me … which hasn’t happened in a while. (NOT because of the books I’m reading, but totally because I’m in a funk.) How do you guys decide how to rate a book? And, what were your last 5 star reads?

And did you guys see that the *Heartstopper* is coming to Netflix this month? I am so excited to watch! (Though, I always say this and never end up watching anything. ) The series is so good, I’m curious to see how the adaptation will do. And I’m hoping to start *Loveless* today!

Have you had any recent 5 star reads??

Happy Thursday, Bookworms! Do you see the weekend? It’s so close, and I can’t wait for it to finally be here. Are you ready for the weekend?

And have you read any 5 star reads recently? I have not had one yet this year, (not including rereads), but I would love for a book to completely WOW me soon. It’s been too long, and it’s definitely me and not the books. I’m still in a major reading slump at the moment. It’s no fun at all. ‍♀️ What books have you loved recently??

What books are you hoping to read in May??

Happy first day of May, Bookworms! Are you guys ready for a brand new month of reading? May is going to be a great month for new releases! I have quite a few of them on my reading list for this month. And there are just SO many others books that I want to read this month as well, I’m having a hard time picking which to go with. Part of me wants to do a Cozy Murder Mystery May theme, but I also want to read all the new romance I got recently, and catch up on my TBR from previous months, and read the books I started but haven’t finished, AND read all the new releases … I definitely have way too many options. I am for sure starting my yearly reread of *The Remnant Chronicles* this month and I am SOOOO excited to get back to one of my most favorite worlds! Swipe above to see it and a few of the other books I’m for sure hoping to read this month. Anyways … What about you guys? What are you excited to read this month??

And a new month means a new book challenge! Swipe above to grab the May Challenge graphic, and I hope you’ll join me for another month of fun! I’m definitely going to try to do a better job with my socials this month! Sorry I’ve been MIA lately!

Do you listen to audiobooks? If so, what are some of your favorites? Or, what are some you’ve loved recently?

Happy Wednesday, Bookworms! We are halfway to the weekend! Are you having a good week? Would you rather the weekend be here already? I’m enjoying my vacation, but also am very excited to go back home on Friday.

Do you listen to audiobooks? Care to recommend some awesome ones?? I looooooove audiobooks! They are really the best things ever, especially lately when my brain will not let me focus on books for very long. Being able to listen while I multitask is awesome. One series that I love on audio is the *Percy Jackson* series! The audio is so good, and if you haven’t already read the series, now is the perfect time to do so to be ready for the upcoming adaptation. I definitely plan to relisten to them soon. What about you? Any favorites or recently loved audiobooks? I need suggestions!

What books are you hoping to read in April??

Happy April, Bookworms! (But seriously, HOW is it April?) Are there any exciting books that you’re hoping to read this month?? I am hoping to tackle the stack above … along with books from last month’s TBR, and the month before that, and the month before that … ‍♀️ I am so behind. I definitely want to catch up. I *plan* to get to most of these books this month, but a few are hopefuls. Like, I’m hoping to get to Crescent City 2, if I can finish book 1. We shall see. Hopefully it will be a good month. What books are you guys hoping to read this month??

AND a new month means new book challanges! Swipe above to grab the April graphic, and check out the other challenges I’m participating in below!
