Getting back into reading and bookish purchases in the USA

 Dear readers,

Last month I traveled for the first time in my life to Utah, USA. One of the more important things I wanted to do there was visit Barnes and Noble. It is such an awesome bookstore! I love it so much... Also, the staff was pretty nice! 

The first B&N I visited was very new. There I found three blue books I liked: 

Banned books published by Penguin Random House

My reading life (a book journal) published by Spruce books

and

The fault in our stars by John Green (I have read it before but lost my copy of it)

My suitcase was really full... And I needed to bring a whole new suitcase too because of gifts and other purchases. I bought my friend two Monster High dolls and myself a few Barbies and other fashion dolls. I also wrote my journal to the end on my trip so I needed a new journal.

Later I got a few more books. I can add pictures here too. I got:

The secret garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

The 1619 Project by Nikole Hannah Jones

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Then I got a self-care journal. a few scriptures ( my old ones were falling apart )... Also a few pens and stationary. Stickers are so cool in the USA! :) lol I bought candy too, some are still left for later. I did not find root beer barrel candies even though I know they exist.

I am almost out of my reading slump now...

I have relistened to the Harry Potter series (I have yet to read The cursed child, I don't know if I want to... lol) and I am currently relistening to the Twilight books (I am on the first part now), both are very familiar series so I can basically fall asleep anytime and when I wake up, I know exactly what has happened while I napped :D LOL!  I have many issues with the author of Harry Potter and the whole Twilight (the toxic guy etc.) series but I still listen to them every year, because of nostalgia...

I have been kinda collecting many bookmarks and I can post pictures of some of them.

Have a great weekend!
