Stacking the Shelves #151, Sunday Post #148, Sunday Salon #142

Hey my bookish friends! Are the weeks going faster, or is it just me 😜? It was a long week and I think the days are gone where I have time to get my posts completed early. In addition to working, I have been trying to get caught up on all the things, and clean some things out. However, when I saw that the used  bookstore near me was having a $5 bag sale since they are going out of business, my husband, son, and I spent an hour and a half in there Thursday morning. We still have all the snow from last weekend, and it has snowed most days this week (even when it hasn't been on the radar), and is currently snowing. It's crazy, but I do enjoy seeing it. How are things with you?

Top Ten Tuesday-Characters with glasses

 Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic Covers with [Item] on the Cover (You choose the item! It can be anything at all.) I decided to go with characters with glasses on, but think I should have gone a different direction, LOL! It was hard! Not surprisingly, most of the ones I found were romcoms. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.
