Book Hive 2021 with Lori and myself on Instagram

article image placeholderBook Hive 2021
It connected so you can do left most, and then you can do the middle one, and then you can do the right most and then start connecting. It counts. Once the connection is made. So hope you guys enjoy the game. For all your bookish folks who like to read. I think this is a great way to expand your genres, and it's fun. So, yeah, that's all I have. And thank you, guys

This is awesome. And I am so excited to participate. So quick question. I was looking at the Instagram post. And so every time I finish a book that will be counted as part of my Hex, I just post about it on Instagram and just make sure to tag both you and Lori, right? Should I always use the image that you have here and then maybe just put in the tag, like, what book I finished? What's the format that you both prefer?

So to give a specific example, we just finished Long, Bright River, and that was a Goodreads Choice Awards nominee. So that could be that Hex. But that's on the very right. But I know you said we could kind of go into on any order. So I would just let you know on Instagram, like, finish that book. It's coming as this Hex and you all will keep track of it

@bowie Do you want to add anything @loribpalmer

One person is actually putting a blob and then putting the book name over it either way. Just as long as I know book name directly on top of that Hex and then save that board, because the next book you will add to that board, if that makes sense, does that make sense? I mean, it's kind of like navigating Instagram. So post on the story, post other board on the story, edit that board with the title of the book on your book hacks

Yay @bowie!!

So really, the most important thing is that you post it in your story and tag us once you've completed the the chain, so we know for sure to enter you in the giveaways, but the posting as you go along, it's not required, but it's just for fun, just to drum up excitement and show your progress and encourage some friendly competition and all that good stuff. But it looks like what you did was perfect. So that's great

Thank you ☺️

Okay. First of all, Laurie, please start Palmer's Books. That definitely feels like a bookstore that needs to exist. Also, thank you both for explaining further. That's really helpful. And I quickly realized that I made a mistake. Anyways, when I posted my update and included a book that I started before January 1, I'll make sure not to include that one because I care about integrity and I want to win as honestly as possible

Hey, quit making fun of me, okay? I was tired and I said, Palmers, you know, Palmers Powell some tomato tomato, right. But I agree with Bowie. I mean, come on, we need a Palmer's box in and actually make it a chain so we can make Palmer's Books the next big chain of independent bookstores. Yeah, chain independent. I don't know. Anyway, we'll figure that out. So, yeah, I am so sorry, Laurie

Of course, these books are like, so long, and I feel like it's distracting me from starting new books, and I'm really trying to get up on this hive business, so I'm excited to hopefully finish those either by today or tomorrow so I can get started on just focusing on my 2021 reads, so I'll definitely post a high update soon. I'm having a lot of fun with it, so thank you for doing it
