thegildedbookworm Update...

 I'm bored, so I'll give a little update about my bookstagram account/project. 

I want to make a few more book inspired recipes during break, like sticky buns, pear pastries, and maybe also a breakfast tray thing with toast and fruit and tea and stuff. So far I've made 8 book inspired recipes, and I've been having a lot of fun with them, so I think even after I'm done doing this account for my class project, I'll definitely continue with my account, and probably also the recipes.

I'm also supposed to have book reviews, but I'm really behind on writing them...maybe I'll catch up on that today?

What else? I've been doing this new thing that I call "annotated" photos, where each week I post a photo that has little things about the book recommendation, like a trope or setting or genre, and I do that each week as a book rec. Those are a lot of fun to make, and I think they look cool!

Also, I have 678 followers! I had a giveaway at 500, and that ended on Friday. I selected the winners with a wheel spinner and have gotten the winners their prize. 

And lastly, I wanted to share this photo that my mom took yesterday. I set it as my profile picture, and it will be the photo I post on Christmas. 


I'm also going to post my 2021 wrap-up soon. I'm planning on doing my favorite books of each genre, and then maybe my favorite books from each month? Not sure how that's going to work out yet.

Anyways, just wanted to give everyone a little update.

Great photo. Very aesthetic. I think the idea of you standing still enough with a pile of heavy books in your arm long enough for snow to settle on you quite amusing, though!
Sounds like you have tons to keep you busy over the holiday break. You won't stay bored for long. The pear pastries sound especially delicious.

Holding a pile of books and carrying them around is how I get my exercise in for the PE waiver. Also holding up the book while reading and flipping the pages.

Bored? I could give you bball drills to do.

You get PE credit for carrying around books?

Rachel said...

No, it was a joke.

Definitely a good arm workout!
