Books I saved on Instagram this month: June 2019

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE saving things on Instagram.
I see a book that looks cool, then it gets saved.
WOO HOO!

But then do I do anything with it?
NOPE.
Never.

Well, I want to change that.
And I need YOU to keep me accountable!

Each month I’m going to sort of “download” the list here (I wish there was an easy way to do it, if you KNOW an easy way to do it let me know, okay!) which basically means typing it up.

And maybe we’re all saving the same books, who knows?
I’m sharing them straight from Instagram so you can find new accounts to follow as well!
And that way I don’t have to post links!

Reminder: none of these links will EVER be affiliate links to Amazon, because there’s no amount of money I could make from them that would make me feel okay sending you there. If you want to buy, head to your local indie bookstore!

And if you want to support me for the value I’m providing,
you can do that on patreon.
Okay!
On to the list!

Here are the books I saved!

These board books look really fun.
When you can move things and sliders are involved, I’m all about it.
And so is Rosemary.

This one got me at the title alone, not going to lie.

I’ve been seeing this one around for a while,
and even at the library I visited in SF this past weekend!
I need to get it and check it out.
The cover is darling.

Speaking of birthday, Rosemary IS getting this one
(I’ll put the order in when I head to my indie bookstore
for my book club meeting in a week or so)
because she LOVES playing with little characters and critters and, yeah.
This looks like SO MUCH FUN.

I had never seen this book before so I saved it.
I really want to expose Rosemary to more books from around the world.
And we need more on our shelves that have a full cast of POC characters.

I’ve been seeing this one everywhere too,
and I saved it because I want to get it out from the library!
Have you seen it too?

The illustration on the cover alone got me.
And from the title it seems like it’s going to be pretty fun!

I like mice.
As characters in kidlit books.
And this sounds adorable!

A title like Team Steve just makes me laugh for some reason.
This one looks super fun!

I’m a huge basketball fan and NEED to get on adult rec team stat.
So this one was an obvious choice.

This is my second tiger book.
I may have a tiger problem.
Rosemary is obsessed with Daniel Tiger, so I’m not surprised.
Oh wait, second mouse book too!

I have sea glass from my time living in Santa Cruz.
So this one had me at the title alone.

This looks so delightfully weird.
And I have a friend named Barry.

I used to work as a farmer on an organic farm.
And we just got planters with herbs in them, so basically, the same thing.

I love emotions and the look of this one.
It’s like a little comic book!

I love bears.
As characters in books.
Not as hiking companions.
We call Rosemary bear.

Once I wrote a story about a missing wooden camel.
More recently, I read a book about how the camel got his hump.
