Happy #FaceFriday, friends!!⁠ I’m having a personal life crisis, so we’re going to keep this fairly lighthearted - and apologies if I’m slow to respond this week! ⁠ I'm going with this selfie today, 'cause it shows off my most fav pair of glasses! It's hard taking good selfies with glasses on, 'cause the glare is INTENSE, and I can go from having eyeballs to only having white empty sockets in a matter of seconds.⁠ ⁠ These have some anti-reflective coating, but even still, at certain angles, goodbye eyeballs! 😂⁠ ⁠ I've worn glasses since I was about 9 years old. I got them in the 4th grade, and remember not realizing that you could see all the individual leaves on a tree when looking at it!⁠ ⁠ Until then, I'd always just seen big green blobs! I'm pretty sure I cried about it 'cause I was so surprised at how clear everything looked! 🤓🤓🤓⁠ ⁠ Tell me something about you! Do you wear glasses? Do you see leaves on trees, or are they green blobs? 😂⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #girlswhoread #colorfulhair #rainbowhair #unicornhair #shelfieselfie #selfieswithmyshelfie #selfiesforbookstagram #booklover #bookcollector #bookcollection #constantreader #ilovereading #readersunite

Time for another #NightWormsBookParty!! What a debut, holy smokes! We pretty much unanimously loved this one, and the entire group of us have been stunned by the fact that this is Laurel Hightower's first ever book!⁠ ⁠ I'm a big fan of compelling, fierce characters, and Hightower knocks it out of the park with Rose McFarland in WHISPERS. The characters in her story are all so complete and whole, it feels like you're reading about actual people. Rose in particular is written with so much detail that she seemed to leap off of the pages. I could easily see her on screen in a TV series about her life, and I'd watch the hell out of it because she's an amazing badass that I'd love to be best friends with! She reminded me a little of Anita Blake - although, I guess her Whispers are a little... different, lol. Both are really strong, take-no-shit type women, and I love that in a character so much!⁠ ⁠ My full review is on my blog (letsgetgalactic.com) and my Goodreads now! Both links are in my profile. 🌈⁠ ⁠ Thank you so much to @laurelhightower for the book, and thanks to the @Night_Worms for yet another awesome book party!!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #bookish #booknerd #bookaddict #bookaddicted #bookcollector #bookcollection #constantreader #laurelhightower #horrorbooks #whispersinthedark #nightworms #nightwhispers #bookclub #bookclubofig #rainbowbooks

What's your favorite book series? Tell me in the comments & I'll let you know if I've read it or not!⁠ ⁠ The Wayward Children series is my absolute favorite - alright, I love Harry Potter a whole heck of a lot, so there's also that! But this is my most favorite recent series, and it's INCREDIBLE.⁠ ⁠ It's written by Seanan McGuire, who if you don't already know is the real name of the horror writer Mira Grant (FEED, ROLLING IN THE DEEP, etc). She's one of my absolute favorites, and her ability to blend horror with fantasy and sci-fi is nearly unparalleled for me as a bookworm!⁠ ⁠ This series has a bit of everything, but mostly focuses on some heavy / horror-y stuff - especially book 2, which is my personal favorite! I'm not sure how to even narrow down a quick description, so I urge you to check the books out on Goodreads or Amazon and see if you'd like them! They're quick to get through, and seriously SO good. I'd love to know if you've also read/loved them!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #booklovers #thewaywardchildrenseries #thewaywardchildren #seananmcguire #miragrant #bookcollectors #bookworm #bookcollector #constantreader #bibliophile #bookclub #bookclubofig #rainbowshelfie #rainbowbookshelf #bookcollection #girlswhoread #ilovebooks

I got this as my Book of the Month - did anyone else? I don't know why I always gravitate to the thrillers (especially since they're so hit or miss!), but I went for it again and hope the end result is one I enjoy!⁠ ⁠ What are the genres you read most? I obviously read horror the most (in case you couldn't tell by the majority of reviews on my blog & photos posted to my IG!), but thrillers/suspense type ones are also a genre I love! And then I have an obsession for all things sci-fi, have a bunch of fantasy books, and love YA. The only thing I can't super hang with is romance, and even that I've been trying to see if there's anything I like within recently in my #branchout2020 blog project for this year!⁠ ⁠ Tell me what you like reading the most!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookofthemonth #youarenotalone #greerhendricks #sarahpekkanen #botm #booksubscriptionbox #booklovers #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowshelfie #bookcollector #bookaddict #constantreader #ilovebooks #ilovereading #bookclub #bookclubpicks

It's been awhile since I shared a full rainbow stack, and these Hodder books are some of my very favorite editions. I'm very thankful to bookstagram for introducing me to these - they're so perfectly my aesthetic that they feel like they were made for me!! 🌈🌈🌈🌈⁠ ⁠ Who are your most-owned authors? King is obviously up there for me, and I have over half an entire 5-level bookshelf dedicated to his stuff! That's nothing compared to some of you though - some of my bookish pals have ENTIRE WALLS of books of his! Different editions and printings and wow! So impressive!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #shelfiesunday #sundayshelfie #bookstack #rainbowbookstack #stephenking #hodderstephenking #hodderbooks #rainbowbooks #rainbowstephenking #stephenkingbooks #constantreader #booklover #bookaesthetic #rainbowaesthetic #bookish #bookclubofig #bookclub #bibliophile #bookloversunite

Isn't this book cover gorgeous? And that's WITHOUT the sleeve! IT'S THE ACTUAL BOOK! I got this one from the library for $1, and it's one of my favorites for the cover (although it's one of the King books I haven't read yet!).⁠ ⁠ Have you read LISEY'S STORY? Would you recommend me reading it, or are there others I should prioritize first? I'm going along with the #chronologicallyking readalong, and am not sure where this falls in!⁠ ⁠ PS - you can buy one of my Stephen King art prints or bookmarks in my Etsy!

It's that time again, friends! Happy #FaceFriday from me to all of you!⁠ ⁠ This week's face is a special edition one: I took the #ToonMeChallenge & doodled a little half-Cassie to show art vs artist!⁠ ⁠ What do you think?! I'm planning to do more digital art in the future, and am going to be offering CUSTOM DIGITAL PORTRAITS in my shop! Stay tuned for more news this weekend!⁠ ⁠ Thank you forevz to @brianamorganbooks for the hashtag inspiration! Make sure you all tag me if you participate so I can see your beautiful faces!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #rainbowhair #artvsartist #toonme #bookworm #booklover #girlswhoread #meetthebookstagrammer #ihavethisthingwithcolor #colorful #rainbowseverywhere #colormehappy #constantreader #bookish #bookcollector

How cool is this little Jonathan Janz bookmark?! I obviously had to stand him up next to a stack of books by the actual author!⁠ ⁠ I've loved every single book that I've read by @jonathan.janz, and his books are always on my radar when new releases come out! Big thanks to @flametreepress for some of these books, and for having so many great authors and books to read!⁠ ⁠ Get your own little Janz from @astrangerdream's shop! Her bookmarks are great quality, and have some super cool art!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #bookworm #booklover #bookish #jonathanjanz #flametreepress #astrangerdream #bookish #booknerd #bookshelf #booklove #bookcollector #bookcollection #horrorfiction #horrorbooks #constantreader #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowshelfie

I've been trying to branch out a bit genre wise with my #branchout2020 project, and this is one of the titles I've done it with this year! I'm not normally a big historical fiction / contemporary type person, but I'd heard so many good things about THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO, and wanted to give it a shot!⁠ ⁠ I grabbed this one on Audible, and LOVED it so much, omg! I'd HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this one as an audiobook if you can, because the cast was so compelling and entertaining. The book itself is great too though, even just reading - I had a copy from the library that I had to return (before getting it on Audible), so when it came time for my BotM pick, I knew what I had to do!⁠ ⁠ Fun fact: the author, Taylor Jenkins Reid, also wrote DAISY JONES & THE SIX! That's another one I'd very much recommend listening to if you can, 'cause the way the characters and story format come to life when listening is UNREAL. Both books are so good, and feature some really interesting and well crafted characters. I'll happily read all of Taylor's other & future releases for sure!⁠ ⁠ #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #audible #bookofthemonth #bookcollector #booklover #constantreader #bibliophile #evelynhugo #thesevenhusbandsofevelynhugo #taylorjenkinsreid #bookcollection #bookclubofig #bookclubs #audiblereading #audiobooks #contemporary #historicalfiction #fictionbooks #recommendedreading #bookobsession #rainbowbookshelf #rainbowshelfie

2018: A Recap of the Year

Posted by Let's Get Galactic on December 31, 2018 · 3 Comments

I can’t believe this year is already almost over! For the last couple of years, I’ve felt like they’ve sort of dragged on in a “oh my god when will this end” sort of way, but 2018 wasn’t all that bad. In fact, I accomplished a lot, and pushed myself to even do things I … Continue reading →

Recipe: Berry Avocado Smoothie (Keto)

Posted by Let's Get Galactic on October 20, 2018 · Leave a Comment

One of the only things I miss that I can’t really replicate on keto is fruit. I looove fruit – unfortunately, my favorites contain a whole heckton of sugar and carbs naturally, which makes them completely off-limits to me these days. I do sometimes plan my macros around a splurge (and have been known to … Continue reading →

Recipe: Sticky Sesame Chicken (Keto)

Posted by Let's Get Galactic on September 5, 2018 · 1 Comment

I love Chinese food, and takeout is one of the things I’ve missed the most since switching how I eat. Luckily, a majority of the things I love ordering the most are easy to make keto versions of, so I haven’t suffered too much – but there are some things that have breading, which is … Continue reading →

Posted by Let's Get Galactic on August 20, 2018 · 8 Comments

I love breakfast. Like, I love breakfast. I will almost always choose breakfast food as an option – regardless of the time of day (or night) – and there are very few foods on breakfast menus that I dislike. When I first switched to being keto, I knew I’d miss a lot of my carb-y … Continue reading →
