Until about two month ago, I never considered joining a book club — let alone one of the celebrity book clubs. Sure, I love reading; but my TBR has always been out of control (it still is, by the way), and I felt like I didn’t need someone else telling me what to read.

When browsing the bookish hashtag on Instagram, I kept seeing people raving about their newest book club picks. Lo and behold, I started suffering from a serious case of FOMO.

Happy Sunday! As you can tell by the title, it is time for another episode of Marie’s Linkup. I greatly enjoyed seeing your posts last week, and I can’t wait to see what this week brings.

Whoa! I cannot believe one twelfth of the year is already gone…and that it is time for another What I Read Last Month post. As many of you know, one of my #20for2020 is to read 75 books. I’m sad (and ashamed) to say that January was kind of a disaster as far as reading is concerned.

When I first started blogging, Linkups were basically the only way to get any traffic a.k.a bring visitors to my blog. Though I think a linkup is a great way to share your posts with the world, finding one is almost impossible in 2020.

This is why I decided to create Marie’s Linkup — a weekly post where you can link your blog posts from the following categories:

• Books
• Lifestyle
• Christianity
• Travel
• Cooking
• Sustainability/Zero Waste
• Health

Marie’s Linkup will go live every Sunday at 8am EST. It will close the following Saturday at midnight.

Marie’s Linkup Rules
1. Share only posts from the following categories: books, lifestyle, Christianity, travel, cooking, sustainability/zero waste, or health. Entries unrelated to these categories or linking to your homepage will be deleted.
2. You must visit the post of the person who linked up directly before you and leave them a meaningful comment.
3. Link back to this site. You can use the button below:

<div style=’width:100%;text-align:center;’><span style=’margin:5px;padding:5px;border-radius: 5px;border:0px solid lightgrey;display:inline-block;’><a rel=_nofollow href=’https://www.mariesjourney.com’> <img style=’border: 0px solid gray;width:squarepx;height:squarepx;’ src=’https://www.mariesjourney.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Linkup-button.jpg’> <p style=’align: center;’></p></a></span>
Instructions: Select all code above, copy it and paste it inside your blog post as HTML

Can’t wait for this week’s linky? Before you link your post, I’d like you to take a minute and answer one question in the comment. Ready?

What is the name of the last book you finished reading?

Okay, okay …. now it’s really time for the linkup:
