Finding Room for Books (and Embracing Digital Reading Without Losing the Magic)

Hey there, fellow book lovers!

Amanda here — your Craftin’ Wife — and today I’m diving into a topic close to my heart: how to keep your love of reading alive when living in a tiny space… and how to balance real books with digital ones.

If you’re anything like me, your books are your best friends. There’s nothing quite like holding a real book — the feel of the pages, that cozy smell, the weight in your hands. Real books bring comfort and joy that screens just can’t replace.

But when you live in a space under 100 square feet (hello, RV life!), finding room for a growing collection can be tricky. I’ve had to get creative about storing my beloved paperbacks and hardcovers, and I’ve learned to embrace digital reading as a handy supplement.

Here’s how I make it work:

1. Creative Book Storage
I use vertical wall shelves, small baskets, and even the tops of cabinets to keep my favorite physical books close by without crowding the space. I rotate what’s out, keeping the current reads or sentimental favorites in easy reach, and store the rest safely away.

2. Embracing Digital Reads
E-readers and reading apps have become my go-to for travel days or when I want to explore new titles without adding bulk. Digital books let me carry an entire library in my pocket! Plus, many public libraries offer free e-books and audiobooks, which is a win for both the budget and space.

3. Keeping the Magic Alive
No matter how much I love digital reading, I still make room for real books — especially those special editions, gifts from friends, or titles that hold a piece of my heart. They remind me why I fell in love with reading in the first place.

---

Finding this balance keeps my reading habit thriving without cluttering our tiny home. Whether it’s a well-loved paperback or a glowing screen, the important part is the joy of getting lost in a good story.

How do you balance your book collection with your living space? I’d love to hear your tips!

Happy reading,
Amanda, The Craftin’ Wife 💖

Books! What I Read Last Month

 Hey Y'all!

I did pretty well with four books this month (plus the magazines). I pulled almost all of them from the library sale stack. There in the giveaway pile now, even though I enjoyed them all. We can't be keeping every book, especially now. I still prefer a physical book, but the kindle is something I'll have to get used to.

Anyhow, this month's books...

Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment (James Patterson)~ When I picked this one up I wasn't sure. It was a Goodwill find, and I thought for $1 why not? If it wasn't my thing my Mom would like it. I've not read much James Patterson, but I need to read the rest of this series. It was that good. 

Maximum Ride and her "flock" -- Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel -- are just like ordinary kids, only they have wings and can fly. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any time.

Angel, the youngest member of the flock, is kidnapped and taken back to the "School" where she and the others were experimented on by a crew of whack jobs. Her friends brave a journey to blazing hot Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmare: fighting off the half-human, half-wolf "Erasers" in New York City. Whether in the treetops of Central Park or in the bowels of the Manhattan subway system, Max and her adopted family take the ride of their lives.

Along the way, Max discovers that her purpose is save the world. But can she?

Spoiler.. Nothing about saving the world comes up in book one. Still more than enough going on, but it's mentioned toward the end that this is her job, but that's about it.

These two were quick reads of a few hours each, and actually just okay for highly rated preteen YA books, I only had the two and read them while doing a weekend yard sale. I'd read the others if I had them simply to see if the characters get any better as they grow up.

This review is spot on with the "problem" in the book(s) though I didn't think they were the worst books ever:

Alyssa Marie

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't Bother

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2011

Verified Purchase

I really didn't like this book. I thought I would like it, because it seemed to get a fairly good reception from others (YALSA even chose it as a quick-pick for YA readers). But this is honestly one of the worst books I've ever read.

The biggest problem I have is that I don't think it gives pre-teens and teens enough credit. Every single character in this book is superficial, even Claire, who is supposedly the average, normal sort of girl. To me, they all seemed to be different versions the same character. They're all petty and selfish; they all only care about boys, make-up, and clothes. What about activities? Favorite TV shows? Books? Granted, Massie rides horses, but right away this activity turns into a device to attract an older boy. What I love about YA is that it shows that just like adults, young adults are complex people. They have varied interests and they have real problems. This book doesn't portray that at all. The characters are down-right mean and don't show significant growth throughout to redeem themselves by the end.

Also, the stuff they have to deal with is trivial. For example, Massie doesn't want to be friends with the new girl, but her parents are trying to force her to be nice. I don't see why or how we're supposed to relate to such an awful character. Then there's Claire who is the new girl and would have a legitimate problem about trying to fit in and be friends with Massie, but then she ruins it by playing horrible pranks on Massie and her friends and trying to fit in with them even after she realizes how awful they are.

There are some redeeming factors, though these don't make up for all the bad stuff in this book. The writing itself isn't bad and it's a quick, easy read. Also, there are some funny moments that don't have anything to do with mean-spirited pranks. At moments I thought we were going to see into a deeper side of the characters, but these moments were fleeting and didn't follow through. Maybe they are more fully developed in later books, but from what I've skimmed through, I doubt it.

The Clique Series (Lisi Harrison):

Claire Lyons, the new girl from Florida in Keds and two-year-old Gap overalls, is not Clique material. Unfortunately for her, Claire’s family is staying in the guesthouse of the one and only Massie Block — Queen Bee of Octavian Country Day School. Claire’s future looks worse than a bad Prada knockoff. But with a little luck and a lot of scheming, Claire might just come up smelling like Chanel No. 5.

Hidden Passions: Secrets from the Diary of Tabitha Lenox~ Remember the Soap Opera Passions? It came out the summer I broke my leg (I was 17) and I was instantly hooked, even though soaps were not my thing. This one was different, however I only watched the first season, so I only know from reading the Wiki page that the show gets way more out there before it ends.

Harmony is a picturesque small New England town. On the surface, things may look peaceful and normal in Harmony, but that couldn't be further from the case. "Passions" explores the lives, loves, and losses of four core families who reside in Harmony: the Cranes, the Lopez-Fitzgeralds, the Bennetts and the Russells.

The book takes place from the witch Tabitha's POV. The diary is written about events that transpired 20ish years before the soap opera begins. It gives a lot of backstory to some of the older main characters of the show. While not necessary to have watched the show, I think it reads best knowing something about the leads beforehand.

Catching Up... Again (Kinda) Mostly About Books

 24th, Mon- How To: Crafting With Cricut Joy- Large Decal

26th, Wed- June Makeup Looks

28th, Fri- Books!!!

Hey Y'all!

So yeah, excuses?

We were traveling on Monday & Tuesday, Wednesday was my scan day and it showed something... maybe. So Friday I had a PET scan, and we're waiting for results. 

So no, I didn't craft at all.

Also, remember how last month I said Makeup Looks were back? In June I don't think I wore makeup but one time, and I didn't take any pictures. We were mainly hanging with family and working on the van. I'll try to do better in July.

BOOKS!!

I did read, a lot in June...

Here's May: https://craftinwifescreations.blogspot.com/2024/05/books-what-ive-read-this-month.html

I believe I had mentioned finding the first two Bridgerton books at Unclaimed Baggage, so I started with them, since I had just finished the prequels.

The Duke & I

The Viscount Who Loved Me

Both were good, and really with a few exceptions, the show follows the books pretty well. One major difference is the Queen doesn't exist in the books. A more minor character, a fourth Featherington sister, is missing in the show. I really don't know why Julia Quinn didn't come up with another "P" name, and instead called the youngest Felicity.

This review  sums up my thoughts on book 2 well:

KCarter

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the adaptation!

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2024

I enjoyed this even more than the tv adaptation of this book. The situations, and circumstances of the characters felt so much better and more natural. Such as her also participating in the season. The ending and how they came to be together was FAR better. Kate was also much more likable, while Anthony was a bit more of a rake and edgy. And to be honest, I like not having the queen so heavily involved like in the show as well. Again it leans more towards realism in the relationships and dynamics between characters.

Overall a fantastic read that I quite enjoyed!

Books one:

I don't 100% agree with this review, but they do a good job with a summary. They gave it a 2 star and I'd say 4... it made me want to read the others (which I did already know from seeing seasons 1 & 2 on Netflix to be fair.)

3.0 out of 5 stars A womb doesn't quicken without healthy seed.

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

Maybe, it's because I just left the beautiful world of Pride and Prejudice. Perhaps, it's because I just spent five months reading Diana Gabaldon's writing. Or, maybe, this one just didn't live up to the hype for me.

*May contain spoilers*

It's very simple in terms of prose. For those who like their books to be devoid of the fluff and flower, this one is up your alley. I like the metaphor and buttery descriptions though. I like the rhythm and movement of language. So, for me, it was a bit lacking.

Prose: 1 out of 5 stars.

The characters were a different story. I loved them, until I didn't. And, once I didn't it took a long time for me to love them again. When we first meet Daphne, she's a poised albeit, slightly sarcastic lady of society. As the oldest girl in the Bridgerton family, she feels immense pressure from her mother to marry. Daphne, however, doesn't want just any husband. She wants a well-suited match in which she can at least find happiness as a wife.

Enter Simon, a handsome duke who suffers from an overload of childhood trauma. Simon's mother died upon his birth. His father abuses him for not living up to the expectations of perfect Hastings heir. And, Simon has vowed that he'll never take a wife. Nor have children.

Here's what I liked about them:

Daphne is sweet, witty, and she knows what she wants. As the younger sister to three brothers, she has no problem putting the men around her in their place. Until she does. Once she falls in love with Simon, it's like those things I loved about Daphne completely disappeared. She became naive, immature, and thoughtless. And, then suddenly, with one giant fight she's both capable of putting him in his place and a complete bully about it all at once. Characters should grow as the story evolves. For me, Daphne didn't.

Simon, on the other hand, does experience a lot of character growth. He goes from being an insolent man with a chip on his shoulder, to a loving husband who adores his wife. But, it takes a massive toddler-like meltdown and him leaving her for two months to get him there. And, here's the thing, I don't blame Simon for his reaction in that moment. Just like I don't blame Daphne for her reaction to his truth. I do blame him for his reaction to her reaction. I blame him for the belligerent drinking and fighting. It was just too melodramatic for my tastes.

Characters: 3 out of 5 stars

In terms of style, I give Ms. Quinn credit. She knows how to tell a story that makes you want to turn the page. It was an easy, uncomplicated read. And, I found myself wanting to see more of what was happening "off screen" because there was enough intrigue for the world of the Ton. I would love an Upstairs/Downstairs or Downton Abbey style glimpse at the servants of this crew. I'd love to hear their thoughts on the melodramatic lives of their superiors. Julia Quinn isn't fancy in terms of writing, but that's a good thing for this story.

Style: 3 out of 5 stars

The reason I consider it to be a good thing that Ms. Quinn writes in such a simple manner is the plot. Oh, the melodrama. I'm pretty sure this book could put soap operas to shame and I hope the Netflix adaptation tones it down some.

Plot: 2 out of 5 stars

Total: 2.5 out of 5 stars

Next I read this:

The Life We Bury, Allen Eskins

College student Joe Talbert has the modest goal of completing a writing assignment for an English class. His task is to interview a stranger and write a brief biography of the person. With deadlines looming, Joe heads to a nearby nursing home to find a willing subject. There he meets Carl Iverson, and soon nothing in Joe's life is ever the same. Carl is a dying Vietnam veteran--and a convicted murderer. With only a few months to live, he has been medically paroled to a nursing home, after spending thirty years in prison for the crimes of rape and murder. As Joe writes about Carl's life, especially Carl's valor in Vietnam, he cannot reconcile the heroism of the soldier with the despicable acts of the convict. Joe, along with his skeptical female neighbor, throws himself into uncovering the truth, but he is hamstrung in his efforts by having to deal with his dangerously dysfunctional mother, the guilt of leaving his autistic brother vulnerable, and a haunting childhood memory. Thread by thread, Joe unravels the tapestry of Carl’s conviction. But as he and Lila dig deeper into the circumstances of the crime, the stakes grow higher. Will Joe discover the truth before it’s too late to escape the fallout?

I really liked this book, the story and the is Carl guilty was a pretty easy solve, but the who done it was a bit less obvious. His mother and brother were a heartbreaking dose of some people's real life. 

This is a five book series, but it seems like, from looking them up that they don't follow the same story. If I came across the other books I'd read them, but I'm not actively looking for them. 

After than I read a Wanda Brunstetter book, but I didn't take a photo and don't remember which one. It wasn't very good, and even though I bought book two I've yet to attempt it.

I then read the first two books of this Nora Roberts series:

Boonsboro Trilogy

I really liked the first two, which I got from a thrift store. I'd like to find the third, and complete the brother's stories. 

The first book:

The historic hotel in BoonsBoro, Maryland, has endured war and peace, changing hands, even rumored hauntings. Now it's getting a major facelift from the Montgomery brothers and their eccentric mother. As the architect of the family, Beckett has little time for a social life. But there’s another project he’s got his eye on: the girl he’s been waiting to kiss since he was sixteen.

After losing her husband and returning to her hometown, Clare Brewster soon settles into her life as the mother of three young sons while running the town’s bookstore. Though busy, Clare is drawn across the street by Beckett’s transformation of the old inn, wanting to take a closer look…at both the building and the man behind it...

Don't miss the other books in the Inn BoonsBoro Trilogy
The Last Boyfriend
The Perfect Hope

Book 2:

Owen is the organizer of the Montgomery clan, running the family's construction business with an iron fist - and an even less flexible spreadsheet. And though his brothers give him grief for his compulsive list making, the Inn BoonsBoro is about to open right on schedule. The only thing Owen didn't plan for was Avery MacTavish....

Avery's popular pizza place is right across the street from the inn, giving her a first-hand look at its amazing renovation — and a newfound appreciation for Owen. Since he was her first boyfriend when they were kids, Owen has never been far from Avery's thoughts. But the attraction she's feeling for him now is far from innocent.

As Avery and Owen cautiously take their relationship to another level, the opening of the inn gives the whole town of BoonsBoro a reason to celebrate. But Owen's hard work has only begun. Getting Avery to let down her guard is going to take longer than he expected — and so will getting her to realize that her first boyfriend is going to be her last....

The "main family" has a a great dynamic and all are interesting characters and have their own depth, which makes you want to read the next book. The love stories happen realistically, and not every aspect is perfect (which I enjoy). 

After I read those two, I took a bit of a break from reading books, and flipped through a few of my Mother in laws magazines. Then for a few days I just played with the kids, watched a few movies, or played games on my phone.  

Just this week I finished book one in this series (and started book 2):

Piecing It All Together, Leslie Gould

When Savannah Mast’s fiancé dumps her a week before their wedding, she flees California for the safety of her Amish grandmother’s farm near Nappanee, Indiana. She’s not planning on staying long but becomes unexpectedly entangled in the search for a missing Amish girl. She can’t leave – especially not when her childhood friend Tommy Yoder is implicated as a suspect.

When Savannah accompanies her grandmother to Plain Patterns, a nearby quilt shop, the owner and local historian, Jane Berger, relates a tale about another woman’s disappearance back in the 1800s that has curious echoes to today.

Inspired by the story, Savannah does all she can to find the Amish girl and clear Tommy’s name. But when her former fiancé shows up, begging her to return to California and marry him after all, she must choose between accepting the security of what he has to offer or continuing the complicated legacy of her family’s faith.

I enjoyed both the main story, and the story within the story. I will say in the beginning I found Savannah to be a little... dumb. But, she realizes how much she was depending on and changing who she was and redeems herself for me. I liked this review:

Kris Anderson, The Avid Reader

4.0 out of 5 stars A Charming Tale!

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2020

Piecing It All Together by Leslie Gould is the beginning of the Plain Patterns series. I thought Piecing It All Together was well-written with developed characters in a picturesque setting. Savannah Mast is at crossroads when her fiancé calls off the wedding a week before the big day. It inspires her to make a change and go back to the place she loved growing up which was her grandmother’s house. Her mammi, Dorothy Mast, welcomes her and introduces her to the quilting circle at Plain Patterns owned by Jane Berger. Besides running the quilting shop, Jane writes a column for the Nappanee News and is a local historian. Jane knows that God will send someone to her who will need one of her historical tales. When Savannah gets involved in the disappearance of local teen, Jane begins telling her a story that echoes what is happening. I soon found myself engrossed in this novel and did not want to put it down. I like how the two stories (Savannah and Emma) worked together. I enjoyed both women’s stories. Piecing It All Together is a story about friendship, family, faith, and love. It was interesting learning about midwifery. I loved the descriptions of the Home and Hearth quilt the ladies created for someone special. I like how all the loose ends were wrapped up with a satisfying ending. I look forward to reading A Patchwork Past when is comes out in the spring. Piecing It All Together is a charming story with an unfeeling fiancé, an AWOL adolescent, a determined deputy, a quilt quandary, an emergency midwife, and ancestral anecdotes.

Books July, August & September!!

 Hey Y'all!

It's been awhile on our book blogs, and I'm positive I've forgotten a few. I still have a few to share, so here we go!

First off I've continued the Bridgerton series, by Julia Quinn, with books 4 & 5. It deviates rather largely from the series at this point, both are good but in my opinion the books are always better (than the TV show or movie adaptations).

Penelope and Colin's story is fairly accurate to the most recent TV season, some things are changed to make it make sense on TV, some are change for other reasons, but the "meat" of the story is the same.

Eloise's story hasn't been adapted yet, but it's a rather quick love story and mostly in letters no one knew about so we'll see how that pans out in the TV series in the future... Her getting to know Sir Phillip's children was a big chunk of the story, and I don't see that being the route the show takes with her, assuming she gets her own season.

SPOILER: Skip to after the photo if you don't want to read...

In the books Marina is a Bridgerton cousin we never "meet". However, we've met her in the show, as a Featherington cousin, who is already pregnant and attempts to marry Colin. She then attempts to force a miscarriage, which fails, and eventually marries the brother of her babies father, Sir Phillip. In the book Sir Phillip does marry her for the same reason, his brother dies in war. I wonder how this will pan out, if we get Eloise's story.

An excerpt from the prologue of Romancing Mister Bridgerton:

...But no, she had to go and fall in love with Colin Bridgerton when he fell off a horse and landed on his bottom in a mud puddle. It was highly irregular, and highly unromantic, but there was a certain poetic justice in that, since nothing was ever going to come of it.

Why waste romance on a love that would never be returned? Better to save the windswept-moor introductions for people who might actually have a future together.

And if there was one thing Penelope knew, even then, at the age of sixteen years minus three days, it was that her future did not feature Colin Bridgerton in the role of husband.

She simply wasn’t the sort of girl who attracted a man like him, and she feared that she never would be.

An excerpt from To Sir Phillip With Love:

Eloise Bridgerton smoothed the well-read sheet of paper across her lap. There was little light by which to read, even with the full moon shining through the windows of the coach, but that didn’t really matter. She had the entire letter memorized, and the delicate pressed flower, which was actually more pink than red, was safely protected between the pages of a book she’d nipped from her brother’s library.

She hadn’t been too terribly surprised when she’d received a reply from Sir Phillip. Good manners dictated as much, although even Eloise’s mother, surely the supreme arbiter of good behavior, said that Eloise took her correspondence a bit too seriously.

It was common, of course, for ladies of Eloise’s station to spend several hours each week writing letters, but Eloise had long since fallen into the habit of taking that amount of time each day. She enjoyed writing notes, especially to people she hadn’t seen in years (she’d always liked to imagine their surprise when they opened her envelope) and so she pulled out her pen and paper for most any occasion–births, deaths, any sort of achievement that deserved congratulations or condolences.

She wasn’t sure why she kept sending her missives, just that she spent so much time writing letters to whichever of her siblings were not in residence in London at the time, and it seemed easy enough to pen a short note to some far-off relative while she was seated at her escritoire.

I've yet to find books 6 or 7 at a good price, but I did recently find 8 at a Goodwill, so I have it ready when I eventually come across the others.

This next book was also good, but a bit different than what I'm used to reading from Debbie Macomber:

The Trouble With Angels, didn't know this was a series of books until just now. This is book two, and it focuses on three angels, and three individual stories. Each one is different, but it's easy to follow. 

When irrepressible angels Shirley, Goodness, and Mercy set out for the City of Angels to grant three rush Christmas prayer requests, they are sure they can help without resorting to, er, divine intervention. But they soon find it will take more than one miracle to teach their precious lessons of love—as well as make three special holiday dreams come true!

Angels Shirley, Goodness and Mercy have been sent to Los Angeles to act as prayer ambassadors for three difficult cases. Shirley finds herself assigned to Karen Woods, a young girl who has been having nightmares since her parents painful and messy divorce. Mercy is sent to Catherine Goodwin who is praying her grandson finds a love that will rival the one she experienced years before and Goodness finds herself with a demanding case. Assigned to Paul Morris, Goodness must help the pastor to regain the faith he has lost since the death of his wife.

I found Paul's story the least interesting, but all three were good. I didn't love this style of writing/reading so I won't seek out the others, but if I came across them I'd probably read them.

Lastly, and I know it's not last, it's just the last one I took a picture of. I know I read a few other couple hour read books, but nothing too great or too bad, therefore not entirely memorable...

This book I didn't even finish, I just couldn't:

Little Vampire Women just wasn't for me. I really enjoyed Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, so I thought this sounded good too... I was wrong. The writing wasn't great, and the story was a bit boring. They can't all be winners.

Books & Looks (August)

 

August Wrap-Up: Makeup, Magic & Books

Hey Y'all, Amanda here, your Craftin' Wife- August is always such a funny month—it feels like summer is still in full swing, but at the same time I start noticing little hints of fall sneaking in. The evenings get a touch cooler, pumpkin-flavored everything starts popping up, and I find myself reaching for richer makeup colors and cozier books. It’s a month of transition, and I love leaning into both sides of it.

(I'm doing something new with the blog this month, let me know your thoughts in the comments below!)

✨ Makeup Moments
This month, I really had fun experimenting with new looks. Some days were all about bold, playful color—bright eyeshadows, shimmer that caught the light just right, and lip shades that demanded attention. Other days, I went for softer neutrals and subtle glam, the kind of looks that feel polished without being over the top. Makeup has always been one of my favorite creative outlets, and August gave me the chance to play.

I’ll be adding in photos of the looks I wore so you can see the variety—everything from summery brights to the first hints of fall tones. Each one felt like a little piece of art I got to carry with me, and I’m excited to hear which ones are your favorites.

📚 Books I Read in August
Of course, no month is complete without a good stack of books. August was a cozy reading month for me, and I loved mixing it up—romance, a little Christmas magic, and even some suspense. Here’s what I read:

• Unforgettable Cowboy by Debra Clopton – Sweet and heartfelt, this was the perfect cowboy romance to sink into. I loved the small-town charm and the way the story balanced family, love, and second chances.

• Hitched in Hawaii by Dhara Shah – A fun, lighthearted read that totally gave me tropical vibes. The destination wedding setting was adorable, and it was such a breezy book for summer.

• Melody’s Christmas by ID Johnson – Yes, I read a Christmas book in August, and I don’t regret it one bit! It was wholesome and cozy, with just enough festive cheer to make me excited for the holidays.

• The Billionaire’s Marriage Pact by Melody Archer – This one hit all the billionaire romance notes—sweet tension, drama, and a promise that made me want to keep turning the pages. Definitely a fun escape read.

• Counting on Cole by Cynthia Eden – A totally different vibe from the rest of my list, this one leaned into suspense and danger. It was a page-turner and gave me the perfect change of pace when I wanted something a little darker.

Reading in late summer has its own magic. Maybe it’s the heavy air, maybe it’s the feeling that the season is slipping away, but I always find myself lingering in stories a little longer. A few of these surprised me in the best ways, and all of them made August a little brighter.

🍂 Looking Ahead
Now I’m turning my eyes toward September, and honestly, I can’t wait. Fall is my favorite time for creativity. Makeup looks shift into deeper colors, cozy reading nooks start calling my name, and crafting season really starts to sparkle. I have so many ideas swirling in my head right now—projects, palettes, and piles of books—and I’m excited to bring you along for all of it.

August gave me inspiration, but September feels like it’s ready to light a creative fire. Here’s to savoring the last glow of summer and stepping into the magic of fall together. 💕

Read on, and sparkle bright,
