I am totally in a reading slump guys and it sucks. Mostly
it’s because I am currently a little bit stressed which means my concentration
is shot to pieces so I’m pretty much just collapsing onto my sofa and watching
stuff on tv that I don’t have to think about, like Brothers and Sisters which I think I’ve watched 5 times through
already. I don’t even care that I practically know it off by heart – I just
love those Walkers so hard.
Anyhow, a reading slump is what I am in and I hate it. I
hate not being in the right headspace to pick up a book because reading is my thing and I’m just reals sad about the
whole situation. It’s also bugging me because I have done such good blogging
this year and that’s tapered off because reading slump and so basically I’m lining up a few posts that don’t actually need me
to read anything because I NEED TO KEEP THIS THING MOVING. So you know, there
might be a couple of posts that are less bookish and more life-ish (#notaword) – also please keep your fingers crossed
that this is just a temporary glitch because I think my TBR might kill me otherwise.
Gulp.
So, because I am a magpie and because I spend too much time
on Instagram and because browsing the internet for things I would like to own
is pretty mindless it felt like it made sense to do another Things That I Have Seen and Liked so
this is what this is. Grab a coffee and look at all these lovely bookish
delights.
All the Ink and Wonder bookmarks. You can never have too
many bookmarks am I right? I think I am right. Or perhaps this is just a thing
I tell myself. My fave is one that I got from My Little Best Pal; they were
colour your own bookmarks and I coloured one and she coloured one and then we
swapped because we’re cuter than you. Anyhow. Ink and Wonder – these are lush; I
actually have a couple already but like I said: you can never have too many
bookmarks. I am especially fond of these:
Speaking of bookmarks, these book darts are super nifty for
sure. The very idea of being able to go right back to the line where you
stopped reading. I LOVE that.
This Lizzie and Darcy ring from Sonnet and Fable is all kinds of wonderful. I am a fan of rings; I
don’t know if I can carry them off exactly because my fingers are short and
quite dumpy but whatever, I love them and I love this. LOVE IT.
And last but by no means least and just because 5 is a nice
number, if you know me, then you’ll know I usually wear odd socks so these banned book socks from Out of Print tick
all my boxes.
In the words of Freddie Mercury, I WANT IT ALL.
