Yay for 700 posts and nearly 500 followers! I’m so grateful to share the adventures, books, and life with you all on this little patch of the internet. . Two years ago almost to the day, I was at the Gulfoss waterfalls in Iceland. That week and a half driving around one of the most beautiful countries I’ve had the pleasure to visit was a defining time for dreams and goals and aching needs. . Not a lot of time, but a whole lot of life-changes later, all I can say is thank you. These last two years have been marked by a community of people I’ve connected with through books and shared life experience, through random chance or the magic of the internet. . Love your people tonight! . #travel #explore #adventure #wanderlust #adventureisoutthere #athomeintheworld #womenwhotravel #iceland #gullfoss #gullfosswaterfall #remember #gratitude #community #throwbacksaturday #travelgram #travelingram #saturdaynightmusings #beholdoverbehave #icelandroadtrip #roadtrip #goldencircle #goldencircleiceland

One of my favorite book people (and people in general, @katrinademan is reviewing A Light So Lovely on the blog today. Her thoughts and connections to this biography of Madeleine L’Engle have made me fall for it already. . Have you read A Light So Lovely? Has Madeleine L’Engle inspired you? Tell me about it in the comments below. .

Sunset drinks in my city. . Loved catching up with @audsigns tonight in a beautiful space in the sunshine. . Have I talked about how much I love @newhotelmertens? Because if you’re not sick of hearing about it, we obviously haven’t talked in person enough and should probably meet up there for brunch or drinks sometime. . . . #mycity #rooftopviews #skyline #sunset #grandrapids #lovemycity #newhotelmertens #newhotelmertenshaute #drinkswithfriends #sunsetcocktails #sunsetviews #grandrapidsskyline #puremichigan #travel #adventure #adventureisoutthere #wanderlust #athomeintheworld #friendswhotravel #womenwhotravel #grandrapidseats

If there was ever a reason to break out the London mug, it’s for the one. . I’ve been working with a lot of heavier theological books at work, so taking a mental break this slow Saturday morning with Daisy Goodwin’s Victoria. . If you enjoyed the miniseries, this is pretty much that I’m book form and I’m not complaining. Having fun in this warm and fascinating historical world. . This is the title I got from the @pageonebooks event earlier this month. Can’t wait for my current subscription to end to take advantage of the fabulous book matchmaking Brandy provides. . What are you reading today? . . . #victoria #wishyouwerehere #wishyouwereheremug #london #reading #booksandtea #teaamdbooks #bookstagram #books #readersofinstagram #booksofinstragram #amreading #historicalfiction #queenvictoria #page1books #morningreads #saturdayreads #weekendreads #restandrelaxation #booksinbed #readerlife #bookworm #currentlyreading #anglophile

The fog this morning has me pretending to be in a BBC miniseries taking place somewhere by a loch rather than the suburban US by a highway... . . . #officeviews #foggyday #foggydayinlondontown #fall #viewfrommyoffice #everydaybeauty #bbcminiseries #wutheringheights #wutheringheightsinmyownbackyard #explore #adventure #wanderlust #adventureisoutthere #athomeintheworld

Picked up a great haul from the library book sale yesterday. . I would say 50% of my personal library has come from library fundraiser sales. @kentdistrictlibrary is one of my favorites and I’m so thankful they are my library. . Swipe to see what I got and also the very odd murder jigsaw puzzle I did not. 😳 . . . #bookhaul #bookstagram #librarysale #booktote #usedbooks #books #reading #librarysale #kentdistrictlibrary #thisismylibrary #havingfunisnthardwhenyouvegotalibrarycard #booksofinstagram #booksofig #bookwormlife #bookworm #amreading #readinglife #readinglifestyle #readersofinstagram #readersofig #bookpile #flatlay #library #librarypatron #booknerd #booknerds

It’s been lovely to be meeting more of you on my little patch of Instagram over the summer, so I’m probably due for a #fridayintroductions post! . My name is Lex. I work in digital marketing specifically in the publishing industry—basically I get paid to read and hang out with fellow readers online and I love it. My life pretty much revolves around books, travel, and hospitality. I’m working on a novel. I love tea and hate coffee. I once accidentally became the jury-rights jeopardy champion of Austin, TX and I think that’s when I peaked. I love Jesus. . Current reads: I just finished A War Of Loves by David Bennett this afternoon and once I post this, will finish The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. . What are you reading? . . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagramer #bookworm #reader #readerlife #traveler #marketer #travelersofinstagram #marketersofinstagram #amreading #amwriting #writer #writersofinstagram #introductionfriday #currentlyreading #books #reading #readinglifestyle #booksofig #booksofinstagram #booknerd #booknerds

Really digging books about books right now. It seems publishers are too! . Celebrated the release of I’d Rather be Reading and On Reading Well yesterday by cozying up and continuing The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society last night and doing the same tonight. This week has been packed and it’s been nice to unwind with books for bookworms. . What are some of your favorite books about books? I’d love to add to my list! . . . #bookstagram #idratherbereading #onreadingwell #guernseyliteraryandpotatopeelpiesociety #booksaboutbooks #amreading #readersofinstagram #readersofig #read #reading #books #booksworm #bookwormlife #currentlyreading #currentread #bookstack #annebogel #karenswallowprior #booksofinstagram #booksofig

A view from my hike today. Gotta love good camping trips! 😉 . Lovely to be in Chicago, but also lovely to be home. . It was so great meeting bookstagram folks in person, talking books for hours at pretty much every turn of this little jaunt, and enjoying great food. . Thanks, Chicago! See you in a few weeks. . . . #chicago #skyline #skylineviews #riverwalk #travel #worktravel #remotework #remotejobs #womenwhotravel #adventure #explore #wanderlust #adventureisoutthere #athomeintheworld #apricotservices #marketerlife #travelgram #travelingram #publishing #authorlife
