DIMPLES AND TANGLES READS: BOOKS I'M LOVING LATELY {6}

Hello friends!  I have a new round of books I'm loving to share with you today.  I can't keep up with sharing these as quickly as I read... I already have two other lists I've read through and need to get written up! I love to read.... check the end of this post for links to my previous suggested books if you've missed those.  As a reminder, I'll give a brief summary here (enough to tell you I recommend the book!) without a lot of details, but am linking each book here out of convenience if you'd like to read the more detailed summaries.  However,  I generally check them out from the library, either the physical copy or digital copies through  the "Libby" app  and then upload them to my Kindle account (or you can read directly through the app).  If you're not familiar with Libby I highly recommend it for free e-books and audiobooks by registering with your library card.

FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

Hello friends, happy Friday!  We are scurrying around today taking care of a variety of things but excited to pop over to Stillwater to see Emily later today too.  We've also been cat sitting Ollie while Caleb and Kenzi have been on their first anniversary trip.  Even as empty nesters there's never a dull moment around here!  I'm sure many of you can relate.  😂  I'm excited to share some this week's Five Friday Favorites with you, so let's get to it! I recently spotted this book while traveling and it reminded me that I wanted to read it last year for Advent but discovered it too late and it was sold out everywhere.  I'm glad I was reminded to snag it now!  It's a gorgeous hardcover 25 day devotional for the Christmas season, Ruth Chou Simons has written (and illustrated beautifully!) some really good books. It's such a great price you might want a few for gifts, too... give them early so they can join you in reading for Advent!   Spe......

ASSOULINE TRAVEL BOOKS DEAL

I have long admired the beautiful Assouline Classic Travel Books when I see them displayed or styled in a space.  The graphic covers in bold colors are so eye catching for this color lover, but they are pricey!  I've kept an eye out for a bargain to start collecting a few a little at a time, and stumbled across a great deal that I thought I'd share in care you're interested in collecting them too.  Wall Artwork Posts here and here   ||  Similar Lamp   ||  Lamp Tassel  ||   Travel Coffee Table Books I'll admit, the bright, bold, graphic colors and design of the covers brought on my initial interest in these books thinking about how great they would "pop" on a shelf, but the content inside is just as much of a delight!  These books are packed with a wonderful variety of photos from the title location, a delightful mix of vintage and current shots.  I've really enjoyed reading through them a little at a time and dreaming of visi......

DIMPLES AND TANGLES READS | BOOKS I'M LOVING LATELY {4}

Goodness, it's been a long time since I've shared some book reviews with you, I read all the time but am often slow to share.  It's been a while since I read these, I had to think hard on some of them to share with you today- ha!  So here's list #4 in my Books I'm Loving Lately Series, you can see list #1 here , #2 here , and #3 here if you need more great book suggestions.  Happy Reading!  As a reminder, I'll give a brief summary here (enough to tell you I recommend the book!) without a lot of details, but am linking each book here out of convenience if you'd like to read the more detailed summaries.  However,  I generally check them out from the library, either the physical copy or digital copies through  the "Libby" app  and then upload them to my Kindle account (or you can read directly through the app).  If you're not familiar with Libby I highly recommend it for free e-books and audiobooks by registering with your library card.

DIMPLES AND TANGLES READS: BOOKS I'M LOVING LATELY {3}

What is it about cold and dreary winter days and evenings?  All I wanted to do through the coldest weeks of winter is hibernate and read!  Maybe you could tell that by my lack of DIY projects after Christmas... ha!  This list is a whopper, I looked back through my list and found several I'd neglected to share with you in previous posts.  Hope you find something you like!   As a reminder, I'll give a brief summary here (enough to tell you I recommend the book!) without a lot of details, but am linking each book here out of convenience if you'd like to read the more detailed summaries.  However,  I generally check them out from the library, either the physical copy or digital copies through  the "Libby" app  and then upload them to my Kindle account (or you can read directly through the app).  If you're not familiar with Libby I highly recommend it for free e-books and audiobooks by registering with your library card.

DIMPLES AND TANGLES READS | BOOKS I'M LOVING LATELY {2}

I intended for this to be a semi-regular series, but it's been over a year since I shared my one and only other book rec post with you!  Oops!  I read all the time but taking the time to make a little summary and record my thoughts about each book has just escaped me... but today's the day for round 2 of books I'm loving lately!  As a reminder, I'll give a brief summary here (enough to tell you I recommend the book!) without a lot of details, but am linking each book here out of convenience if you'd like to read the more detailed summaries.  However,  I generally check them out from the library, either the physical copy or digital copies through  the "Libby" app  and then upload them to my Kindle account (or you can read directly through the app).  If you're not familiar with Libby I highly recommend it for free e-books and audiobooks by registering with your library card.

DIMPLES AND TANGLES READS: BOOKS I'M LOVING LATELY

I've been meaning to put together a book post for years, I love to read!  Like, I love to read more than I love to decorate.  That's saying a lot!  So, I think it's way past time that I add that part of my life to the blog and start sharing my favorites with you, too.  ...

FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

Happy Friday!  I'm back with my new Friday series today.  Each week I'll be sharing 5 things that caught my eye, or that I've purchased and approve of and thought you might like too.  Fridays are always a day when weekend sales get kicked off, so I'll be watching for those super deals also to pass along to you.  ( *Affiliate links used in this post.) I've had  this top  for about a week and am starting to see lots of people sharing it, and for good reason!  Most of the time I don't like the length of Loft knit tops (usually a little shorter than I prefer) but this one is perfect.  The hem has side slits and the fabric is a super soft knit that's a nice weight and not clingy at all like some knits can be.  I love the fun full bell cuffs and since they're 3/4 length they don't quite get in the way as much as some full sleeve styles can.  It's hard to tell but the stripes are a dark navy, and this is going to be the perfect Spring/Summe......

BOTANICAL ARTWORK BOOKS

My botanical gallery wall has been one of the best DIY decor investments I've made over the years.  It fills a large space, and with it's classic, timeless appeal I've had it in place for over 5 years now and have never grown tired of it yet.  And, coming in with a total price of around $100, it was pretty affordable for the high impact it gives. ...

TIMELESS DESIGN: CLASSIC SOUTHERN LIVING

I shared some good estate sale finds that I came across last month with you recently.  One thing that I didn't mention was this decorating book from Southern Living, copyright dated 1990.  I picked it up because I'm always looking for larger size books to fill my shelves, and it's a bonus if it's a decorating book! ...

MY FAVORITE DAILY DEVOTIONAL BOOKS AND GUIDES

If I had thought ahead a little better, I would have posted this a week or two ago so you'd be ready for the New Year.  I know everyone is gung-ho to begin new habits on January 1, but it's never too late, right?    We own most of these books and highly recommend any of them for solid Biblical truth. My Utmost for His Highest -  This one is a classic, but I've never used it before now.  It's my choice for this year. Anything from John MacArthur... Drawing Near Moments of Truth Strength for Today Portraits of Devotion  by Beth Moore Praying God's Word Day by Day  by Beth Moore If you prefer an electronic reader, your computer, or your phone, here are a few great online devotional resources to download.  First 5  from Proverbs 31 Ministries- I love this app!  It's quick and gets your thoughts headed in the right direction first thing in the morning.  The idea is to spend the first 5 minu......
