Building the Book Pile #248*

Welcome to Building the Book Pile!  A Weekly meme inspired by Stacking the Shelves

Hello Readers, Bloggers, and Awesome people! 

[Random edit- my BTBP numbers have been off for months! This should be 248 (not 158) at some point I transposed number and then kept on truckin' lol - oh well, back on track now I hope]

Ok first things first - you know how I love knitting?! and reading (obv.) - I found a way to combine them :) KNIT BOOK SOCKS! look at it - It fits a paperback or a chunky hardback and it will prevent them from getting all skuzzy in my backpack!

I am thinking about making a few more and adding them to my Etsy - would anyone be interested? and if so in what colors?

 

And my reading groove is back on! Yay!!! More on that in a bit.
This week my mom left on Sunday after spending Friday afternoon and Saturday with me - we went shopping for Autumn goodies and went to a bunch of antique stores looking for fun things (and because she is momma - we even did a grocery run and even though I am in my thirties I can still appreciate a Mom-bought grocery run)🛍


After mom left, the Hubs and I installed a water collection barrel so that I can water my veggies in the backyard (the water spigot is on the front of the house, so water cans have been the solution up until now). I am so excited about it and the night we finished installing everything we got a huge rainstorm⛈💧 so it was half full by the next morning 💦 my tomatoes will be so happy🍅.


Anywho back to the books📚📚... I finished one of my TBR books this week, I read another book, and I read 2 graphic novels and started ANOTHER book. I am on a roll!🎉🤓🤗

How was your week?
