Hi! I’m Lauren!

I'm a 30 something book lover, knitter & crocheter, and animal lover. I currently live in Calgary, Alberta. I love the winter and wish it snowed more than it didn't. I could spend hours in a used book store and equally as long binge-watching tv shows :) ...more

Happy December 1st! I’ve come out of my hidey Happy December 1st! I’ve come out of my hidey hole just in time for Christmas 😂 My reading has been absolute shite this year and especially since September but I wouldn’t trade it… now it’s just time to see if I can get some done before the end of the year now that I’m feeling like a human again!! Here’s three holiday reads on my shelves that I’d like to pick up… (said from someone who is currently reading two other holiday reads on her Kindle 😂). What’s on your holiday TBR? Any you’d recommend for me?
… I’ve been reading different books these days … I’ve been reading different books these days 🫶🏻 I’ve been absent for going on two months, and for all the best reasons. I’ve been growing a little reader. I’ve been impossibly sick, can’t read a word of my normal books, spend all my time sleeping and I wouldn’t change a thing. Little Baby K coming May 2025… we can’t wait to meet you. You are so loved already. “Darling you’re my blood, you have my heartbeat… you have my heartbeat, beating loud”
What this… midweek? Weekend? I’ve been a bit What this… midweek? Weekend? I’ve been a bit absent on here because I’ve been on holidays! I haven’t went any where but I’ve spent it doing a few projects around the house that needed doing and relaxing. I’m hoping to head into the weekend reading, since I’ve not been doing much of it and my reading definitely is heading towards some Fall reads. I’m currently like 40 percent into Pucking Around and loving it (surprisingly, given that it’s a hockey romance), just a bit into The Pumpkin Spice Cafe (and also enjoying it!) and haven’t started The Coven yet (but need to since it has to be returned very soon). I’m also spending far too long picking out bookmarks now since I have so many choices. These are from @just.inspired.shop fall collection and I am loving them. Also the Halloween collection just dropped today and it is amazing!! If you purchase, you can use losetime10 for a discount at checkout! What are your plans heading into the weekend?
August Wrap Up Well this is the shortest wrap up August Wrap Up Well this is the shortest wrap up I’ve ever done I think 😂 I didn’t get a ton of reading done, but I did start alot more books and also read a lot of non fiction books largely about nutrition, I won’t review them here 🙃 August was a whirlwind for me, it went by so fast and other things were pulling me away from bookstagram. I hope to be back at it for September since it’s FALL NOW! •The Ritual by Shantel Tessier ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ •Legendary by Stephanie Garber ⭐️⭐️⭐️ •That One Night by Emily Rath ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 How was your month? What are you plans for September?
Hi @fairyloot ! My name is Lauren and I live in Ca Hi @fairyloot ! My name is Lauren and I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I’m a huge fantasy/romantasy reader and I would love the opportunity to rep for you! I’ve been a huge fan of your boxes for years and have been a subscriber of your YA box for a year now. Thanks for your consideration 🖤 #fairyya6 #fairyadult6 #fairycombo6 #fairyromantasy6 #fairyloot #bookstagram #readingaesthetic #subscriptionbox #fantasybox #bookish #reader
🍂Fall Haul🍁 Well this went a little differe 🍂Fall Haul🍁 Well this went a little differently than expected 😂 I went to get a couple things that were NOT books for myself and well… I left with two random very fall books. Both were not on my TBR but have caught my eye many times. The Pumpkin Spice Cafe is both the strangest choice for me, and not haha. I just keep seeing it and I’ve decided I’m reading it today. I also got my order in yesterday from @just.inspired.shop fall launch, and I am thrilled. When I saw that there was going to be stationary, I was counting down the minutes. I got some more fall bookmarks (some not pictured because they are gifts), some stickers and then the notepad and sticky duo. I love everything so much. (If you are purchasing from @just.inspired.shop , if you use code losetime10 you will save at the checkout!). Next weekend I’m putting up decor and I’ll just continue to live in this bubble of Autumn happiness! Have you read either of these books?
🖤Redecorate my Kindle🖤 Ahhhh! I received my 🖤Redecorate my Kindle🖤 Ahhhh! I received my Fall rep package from @just.inspired.shop and had to immediately give my Kindle a refresh with the new stickers. I just did Fall lite since it’s still August but once September is here… I won’t hold back. 😂🍂 Do you use accessories with your Kindle? I’ve recently been thinking about getting the stand and page turner 🙃 (All stickers from @just.inspired.shop; Use code: LOSETIME10 to save).
✌️ for Tuesday: Library Loans! The library a ✌️ for Tuesday: Library Loans! The library always gets me, or atleast my holds do 😂 Both of these are high on my TBR. The Coven is perfect for my fall reading list, and I want to read The Last Namsara before Kristin Ciccarelli’s signing in September. I’m really attempting try before I buy and KU and the library helps so much with that! What books have you recently gotten from the library?
It’s not very fitting it’s going to be so hot It’s not very fitting it’s going to be so hot today, and this is my vibe 😂 The Fall decor is slowly coming out, the teas are making an appearance and my Autumn candles are being burned. 🍁🍂 I know most people savour summer until the last day but that’s not me. One day of summer is much too long. Born Wicked has been on my TBR for way, way too long… has anyone read it? It pairs perfectly with this @just.inspired.shop bookmark from the Fall product drop. This Lucy Maud quote is one of my favorites of all time! This collection dropped today, be sure to check it out…. There is stationary this time and I couldn’t resist making an order straight away, I’m a sucker for stationary 😂 use code losetime10 at checkout to save! #QOTD: what’s your favorite fall tea? I love this pumpkin spice oolong but I enjoy almost any Fall teas.
