The Bookish Island: October 2018

Top Ten Tuesday #12 | Bookstores/Libraries I’ve Always Wanted to Visit

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

Shakespeare and Company

I only want to go because it just looks amazing in the photos on Tumblr, and the videos I've seen on British booktubers vlogs.

Persephone Books

The publish beautiful editions of books written by women and have the most lovely aesthetic to the stores. I'd love to go and see everything for myself.

Half Price Books

Only because I have a feeling I'm going to go in and walk out with tons of books and smile on my face. Plus, I think I've either passed by one or gone to one and just can't fully remember. But that was back when I didn't know about how much I would like books.

Top Ten Tuesday #11 | Longest Books I’ve Ever Read

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

American Gods by Neil Gaiman

Review | Goodreads

With 541 pages. I had to take a break in the middle and let everything sink in.

All The Stars in The Heavens by Adriana Trigiani

Goodreads

With 447 pages. This book definitely felt longer than it was. So much info and details.

The Steel Kiss by Jeffrey Deaver (Lincoln Rhyme, #12)

Goodreads

With 486 pages. And Although its the 12th in the series and I had never read the others I loved every moment of this story. It was so good and didn't make me feel like I was missing a whole chunk of the story. Even though I totally was.

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn

Goodreads

With 560 pages. I wasn't going to mention this book because it didn't feel like a long book but thinking back it did take me a long time to read. So in hindsight, it was a long one.

Monthly BookHaul | Book Haul of Sorts 2018

In the last 4 months, I didn't get a lot of books to make individual hauls but I piled them up until I thought it would be enough for a good video/post.

So here are the books I got since July.

I'm Back!

Hey fellow book nerds!

I have officially made a comeback. Well- sort of. I actually don't have an internet connection, still. But I have decided that since I got bored with not having to work on this blog, so I will be doing some things here and there to busy myself. Mainly reviews and maybe some hauls and wrap-ups since it takes a lot of work to do Cant Wait Wednesdays and Top Ten Tuesdays.

But I have been using Twitter and Goodreads so check those out. I'm still not sure Twitter is my thing but go say hi. Also be sure to check out my youtube channel since I will be uploading more videos.
