A basket with book goodies sounds so fun, water bottle, (gift card is best and easiest), maybe a mystery book in the box, etc

[@KarlyJo]

that’s exactly what i will do. thank you! such a cute idea 😍

[@faithsreadingthings]

When I did a giveaway I just did like a bookish package where it was a B&N gift card, coffee shop gift card, a tumblr cup, and I asked friends with bookish small business if they wanted to donate anything so they added shop credits🥰

I've been wanting to hear your thoughts on Just for the Summer, heard it's definitely Abby JImenez at her very best! I hope you enjoy reading it as much as she enjoyed writing it. Great haul & Happy Birthday 🎂🩷📚🥰 I have a personally fun question for you. Which romance books do you read that you feel are overlooked by the bookish community?

[@KarlyJo]

i am so exited to read it! it’s my goal to get through all of her books by September, we will see if i can do it 🤭 and ooo such a fun question!!! I’d say the Romcommers by Katherine Center, Holiday Romance by Catherine Walsch and A Novel Proposal by Denise Hunter! 💗

I got 6 books for my birthday(I’m waiting on the 6th one to come), no offense but it makes me sad not being able to buy/receive that many books for my birthday

[@KarlyJo]

@@rubeuspotter719 6 books is an amazing blessing! i got lucky with finding a lot of mine either for free or thrifting them for $1 or $2. I could NEVER afford buying them all new either! Also, LFL’s, libby and libraries are GREAT resources to consume books for free, and at the end of the day books are just things that we can’t take with us. Comparison is the thief of joy, at the end of the day you have 6 new books that you hadn’t before, that’s so exciting! which ones did you get? 💗 also happy belated birthday! 🎂

[@rubeuspotter719]

@@KarlyJo I’m waiting for Murtagh to arrive, but currently I have the brides of Maracoor by Gregory Maguire, the wicked hour by Alice Blanchard, Hostage by Clare Mackintosh, the escape room by Megan goldin, all which my mom picked up from dollar general for $5 each and I also got a wedding in December by Sarah Morgan from a friend who snagged it from Target. Murtagh is a treat to myself. But I guess you have a point. I didn’t think about second hand books, I kind of just saw the title and was like “Dang I’m jealous.” Edit** thank you for telling me happy birthday, happy birthday to you too

[@LMHB0907]

@@KarlyJo​​⁠right now I’m reading through the Left Behind series by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B Jenkins. They were written in the late 90’s/early 2000’s and it is a Christian fiction series based on the book of Revelation in the Bible. HIGHLY recommend!! Other ones I recently read I love include Just for the Summer by Abby Jiminez (which is in your haul), Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt, and The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah. My absolute favorite Stephen King book is The Green Mile.

[@KarlyJo]

⁠@@LMHB0907i will definitely be adding those to my shelf, there is soooo much insane content in Revelation that would make for some awesome Christian fiction books!! i also recently read Remarkably Bright Creatures and enjoyed it! Thank you for the book recs!!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼
