Books, Booze and Blankets #1


Barb from http://bookertsfarm.blogspot.com/ created this new feature on Instagram where each month she shares a photo showing books, booze, and blankets. You can find Barb's original post about it here on her blog http://bookertsfarm.blogspot.com/2018/10/a-new-feature-well-kind-of.html. And here is her Instagram link https://www.instagram.com/p/BpHVgyzFs4Y/?taken-by=boxermommyreads.

BOOKS - What you are currently reading, what you plan on reading, a new book to your shelves or a new library grab.

BOOZE - What you enjoying drinking right now (alcohol, coffee, tea, one of the many pumpkin creations out there), a favorite glass or mug.  You get the idea.

BLANKETS - Something cuddly or comforting (and yes I realize I'll have to alter this when summer hits - at least in the US) but it doesn't have to be blankets - it can be scarves, a favorite sweater or even a cuddly pooch.

I'm not on Instagram so I'm taking part with a monthly blog post to show my picture. Come and join in!


This was my bargain book purchase of the week and it only cost me £3 which I was pleased about. The paperback will be about £8 when released so even though I don't like hardbacks, I decided to go with it!

For booze, well I decided to start with showing the first of many Game of Thrones related mugs I have and this is my House Stark one. Winter Is Coming!

The very soft, warm and fluffy thing is my new oversized winter sweatshirt! I fell in love with it in the shops and the photo really doesn't show the warmth and softness to full potential. I will have no fear of cold days wearing this bad boy!

  1. I'm curious what your thoughts will be on the book. And I used to have a ton of mugs. Narrowed it down over the years. I wouldn't be able to part with GOT ones! And the one thing I enjoy about cooler weather is getting out the snuggly clothes:)

    1. I always ended up with too many mugs! I have a few Game of Thrones ones and a few with rude messages on them which I might share in later weeks!

  2. This is a fun idea. I love the mug (of course). Let us know what you think of the book. There are so many Trump books! I need to know which ones are worth reading.

    1. I've got about 5 or 6 ebooks connected to Trump but I'll probably read this one first. I generally enjoy these scandal filled reads!

  3. So glad you participated. Great picture and I am curious about your thoughts. So embarrassed that this guy represents the US.

    1. I'm glad he isn't our Prime Minister, that's for sure! I need to get to this book soon as I've been so curious about it!

  4. What a great idea, but I am not on Instagram either...yet. It's already hard enough to keep up with everything. lol I have a lot of mugs, a cupboard full and a couple of boxes. I am slowly going through the house and boxing things up and some of the mugs I have collected will have to go. If it's in a box, I don't need it...unless it's holiday decorations, or something like that.

    1. I've always hated tidying and clearing out things! We're going to be doing more of that but at a less frantic pace! I plan to look through every cupboard and part with everything we don't need so I can get storage space back!
