Peek into my Public Library Stack (Part 2) and Reading Mood Shift and Random Thoughts 📚✨

amyofhearthridge
Creepy books I checked out to try! I’m still mostly interested in Labyrinth and The Poe Shadow. That’s because the are historical mysteries with archaeological/ephemera elements.
Waiting for the 3rd in Hierarchy Series so I tried the author’s backlist. Not what I want at this time!
A seasonal friend recommendation and a retelling of sorts from an author I’ve enjoyed before.
Cozy, illustrated reread!

✨Just like that I feel sick of my darker, adventurous mystery/sci fi titles I’ve been checking out of the library and I’m turning more to my cozy, comfortable reads. What are your go-to types of books when in need of something comforting? 🥰♥️☕️ Some books I choose to stick it out with and be disciplined. My light reading, I’m much more flexible with quitting if I’m not ‘feeling’ it. Do you read every book you start to the end?

I’m thinking classic-feeling, character-driven, children’s literature, cozy mysteries, and of course, continuing my Victorian literature selections for Victober. I have plenty of Victorian classics choices to keep me going all autumn and into winter! I also have plenty of favorite niche type book stacks around my room, many of them on my 50×50 list. Also Im a big rereader of favorites for comfort. I’m hoping I can keep this mood up for the rest of the year!

I’ve been reading the Holy Bible in New Living Translation this year and I’m loving it so much! I just finished Hebrews and was blown away with its challenging beauty. 😍♥️✨🙏🏻

I’m seriously decluttering my online stuff. I go in spurts with reading apps and social sites. It’s time to let a lot of it go. I’m truly an analog lover and my energy levels need to be turned toward home and those around me. It gives me more brain breathing space, too, to write regularly, collage, walk, dabble in photography, journal, and write pen pals, which are all things I love!

It’s a gorgeous day, blustery, and sunny here! ✨Happiest Tuesday to you! ♥️

  1. Hey sweet friend, I’ve been thinking of you lately so I finally went to your Booktube page today and saw that you’re making changes. Good for you! I miss blogging… I’ve subscribed! Hope you’re enjoying the shift to Autumn. It’s lovely!

    Much love, Sarah (Austen in the Ozarks)

  2. The photo of the trees at the end of this post is just gorgeous, Amy! I loved reading about your book choices as well as your musings on social media and such…I have many of those same thoughts often and have really minimized what I engage in over the last few years. Blogging is still something I really enjoy…including reading yours. ♥ It’s always a JOY each time I pop over for a visit. I read each and every post even though I don’t always comment.

    I loved seeing First Frost in your list. I’m currently reading it for the third time, and I’m curious if I love it as much as I did the first two times. So far, it’s giving me all those cozy, autumnal vibes I loved about it before.

    Hope you’re having a lovely October so far! ♥

  3. Losing the interest in mysteries as well, especially after the new Lucy Foley Miss Marple attempt. Returning to old favorites and new-to-me classics such as Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine and Rawls’s Summer of the Monkeys.
