1. I love fun bookish socks! My zone is out on the porch where I can feel the sun, hear the birds, and look up into the trees. Cool temps are preferred, but even on a hot day I have been known to drag a fan outside by the citronella plant to cool off and discourage the mosquitoes.

   1. That sounds lovely, Beverly! Living in West Texas, I keep to the indoors most days. 🙂

2. I love to eat avocados and I have a collection of avocado socks. I even have some Christian ones.

   1. I love avacados and would some avocado socks! Ha! I didn’t share them, but I have a bunch of other fun socks with things like tea bags, oreos, hippos, etc. My hubby enjoys stuffing stockings at Christmas with fun socks. 🙂

      1. What a great idea. I love your books.

3. Adorable and cozy!

   1. I’ve always been a sock wearer, even in summer. Got to battle the air conditioning, you know. 🙂

4. Oh! I love fun socks! My favorite pair has camels on them (a gift from my sister and a family joke). My mom used to always give me fun socks for various holidays.

   1. Those sound super fun, Joy!

5. I love socks but don’t have any fun socks.

   1. We might need to change that, Linda. 🙂

      1. I love fun socks. I love golden retrievers so I have socks with golden retrievers all over. I also have a doggie sock with glasses. But they are too small for me now so I just have them put away in my drawer. But I love fun socks to wear mainly in the cold winter months while I read books. Or also watch a Christmas movie.

6. I love the fun bookish socks! Life is too short to wear boring socks 😂

   1. So true! My hubby even has a collection of fun socks. Star Wars, waffles, and bicycles are a few of the themes in his sock drawer.

7. I usually read in bed with my pajamas on and no socks since Houston, TX, is HOT! I love your cute collection of reading socks!

   1. Thanks, Suzanne. 🙂

8. Your socks are so cute! I have a couple pair of book-themed socks that I love.

   1. Aren’t they fun? They always make me smile when I put them on.

9. I got a pair of socks from my niece one year for Christmas and they say “I like BIG books and I cannot lie” 😉

   1. Ha! I’ve seen those.

10. I have fun socks for the holidays, but I’d love to start a book-related collection!

    1. Oh, yes. I have a bunch of fun Christmas socks, too. 🙂 I hope you do start a bookish collection, Susan. They can be worn all year round.

11. I love both the socks AND your books! I’m glad your cute socks make you happy and inspired as you write. I’m happy and inspired when I read your finished stories. Keep buying more socks and writing!
    (After I showed my husband your post, he said to ask you where you buy them. Perhaps he’s thinking “gift idea for Grace!)

    1. Super fun, Grace. Thanks for your sweet words. 🙂 I’ve collected my socks from several sources over the years. Book stores and Amazon have supplied several. My lasted finds were from a company called Good Luck Socks. Hope you get your own set soon.

12. I love all your socks! So fun! I have a pair of Jane Austen knee highs that my husband got for me one Christmas. I often wear them in the winter when I have on jeans and tennis shoes!

    1. Nice! I once spoke to a writers group wearing a knee-length denim skirt with my bookish knee highs. They probably thought I was dorky, but it was fun. 🙂

13. I love your socks! Like you books, tea, and also counted cross stitch are favorites of mine.

    1. Oh, my. We have so much in common, Ruth!

14. And why shouldn’t we wear fun socks?!!! I’m partial to forest-themes like squirrels, acorns, hedgehogs, and so on. Though Paris and cats rank right up there too.

    1. Oh, hedgehog socks sound adorable, Angie. Love those!

15. I love fun socks! Mostly I have holiday themed, like Christmas & Valentine’s Day. They also make the best gift! I know my sister and I have kept our dad’s sock drawer full of whimsical socks through the years!😂

    1. Super fun, Sabrina. Might as well keep the sock drawer interesting. 🙂

16. Socks are a necessity in Colorado in the cool/cold months. Yes, cute socks are a bonus.
    I often wear my Harry Potter socks because they are fun and warm.

    1. Wizarding toes for the win! 🙂

17. I love fun socks!I have an old pair of Christmas socks with a dog dressed as Santa up on a roof that says “up on the woof top” 😂

    1. Too cute, Bridget! I have a second drawer for my Christmas socks. 🙂

18. Hi Karen:

    I have a tub-full of socks and 95% of them I consider “fun”. I don’t like boring socks and pretty much only wear the fun ones. Your selection of fun socks are really cute. I don’t think I have any book-themed socks or cowboy socks. Hmmm…pretty sure I should expand my wardrobe! 😉

    1. Joyce! My sister in socks! We defintely need to get you some book-themed socks. 🙂

19. I love your socks! I only have a couple that are book-themed, but I have some for different holidays that I keep in rotation as each season comes around. Such fun!

    1. Glad to be in the festive sock club with you, Sarah! 🙂

20. I love all the bookish socks! I don’t have any fun ones, just lots of super soft ones to keep my toes warm. I wear them all year round, even in the summer. I don’t like cold toes. 🙂

    1. I’m with you on the cold toes eradication committee, Gena. 🙂 And I love soft, snuggly socks in the winter. So cozy!

21. I love bookish socks, and have a few pairs, too!!

    1. Nice! We’ll have to have a bookish sock hop. 🙂

22. I love fun socks. I have all kinds: bookish, holiday, teacher, coffee/tea, and sports.

    1. You are my kind of gal, Cheryl!

       1. I love bookish socks! I have some horsey ones and some Christmas ones. Thank you for sharing your collection for more inspiration.🤗

          1. Those sound delightful, Doris!

23. I have Peanuts socks: one day is Lucy, one is Charlie Brown, etc . . . One character for each day of the week!!

    1. Oh, that sounds adorable, Rhoda. 🙂

24. I love fun socks. I have a collection of Yorkie socks, baseball socks, and bowling socks. I love to have my coffee next to me when I’m reading. I can’t handle the heat so I usually read inside in the air conditioning unless it’s a nice Fall day.

    1. Yep, I’m an inside reader too, Karie. 🙂

25. Hi Karen,
    I need to expand my collection as I’m in love with these cute socks you featured!
    I moved recently and could not part with my collection of musical socks featuring notes and many different musical instruments.

    Books and music, my passion!

    1. I need to get me some music socks. I bought my niece a pair of piano and music note socks for Christmas a few years ago, and I almost kept them for myself. Ha!

26. I have the knee high book socks as well. I also have music socks, instruments and cats with piano socks. I also like toe socks which I don’t wear often. I also have some chili peppers socks as well. However I am a weirdo. I only wear socks when I absolutely have to.

    1. My husband is like you – he much prefers hanging out barefooted. Sounds like you have some cute sock options for when the mood strikes, though. 🙂

27. I just love your socks, Karen. You certainly have a great collection of them

    1. Thank you! They make me happy. 🙂

28. I have a few pairs I love to wear.

    The 1st pair is some super soft socks with Sherpa on the inside that I love to wear on cold days.

    The 2nd pair is a pair of colorful rainbow socks my husband bought me from the hospital gift shop when our first baby was born.

    The 3rd pair that I love is actually my husbands ankle Alabama socks. I borrow those all the time because they are so comfortable and slightly bigger than my normal size but that’s what makes them so comfortable. I’m thankful that he doesn’t mind sharing those with me lol

    1. Nice! I love CuddleDuds socks. They are the softest ever without being so thick your feet sweat. My favorite for winter days.

       1. Those sound amazing! I’ll have to try them out!

29. My daughter bought me a pair of fun sock I like to wear. They’re pink with dachshund puppies on them. I love them.

    1. Oh, those sound super cute!

30. I love fun socks too! I get each of my kids a pair of fun ones every Christmas. Those Jane Austen lavender ones are gorgeous!

    1. Aren’t those fun? Socks make the perfect stocking stuffers, in my opinion. 🙂 My kids don’t always agree.

31. I have a pair of socks with pigs on them that my nephew gave me.

    1. How fun!

32. I love your sock collection especially the cowboy one being I live in Texas. My favorite socks are my coffee ones and my pumpkin spice ones….it is getting to that season soon….although the weather here in Texas is not showing it with temps in the 100s

    1. The heat has been dreadful so far this month! Looking forward to fall in Texas. 🙂

33. Those are so cute! I have a pair of Cheistmas socks with dogs on them, but that’s about it. I need to up my sock game 😉.

    1. Christmas socks are super fun!

34. So cute! I love fun socks!

    1. They are just so cheerful, aren’t they?

35. I have a pair of socks where on the bottom one says “If you can read this” and the other “Hand Me My Book”.

    1. Ha! Those are great, Joan. 🙂

36. Love your socks!
    Although I don’t have any fun socks, I have several pair of fuzzy socks – the kind that have soft cotton material on the inside and at the top. I treasure a pair of slippers that my mother crocheted for me.
    I love warm feet, tea, books, and crosstitch.

    1. Betty – We could be twins! You just named all my favorite things. 🙂

37. My hubby gave me a couple pair of book socks to wear. I’m waiting for a special time to wear them

    1. Maybe the next time you curl up with a good book, you could slip into those socks for a fully immersive experience. 😉

38. I don’t have fun socks like this but do have a couple of pairs of purple striped socks that I like to wear.

    1. Purple is my favorite color, Pam! I would love purple striped socks. So fun!

39. These socks look SO fun!

    1. Thanks, Jocelyn. I’m a bit of a goofball, but I’m embracing that part of myself. 🙂

40. “Whooo reads?! I do!!” I like fun soxs … a physician commented on my soxs that I wore & then pulled up his pant leg to show the soxs he wore …a little fun in the midst of a Doctor’s appointment.

    1. Sounds like someone knows her reading owl quotes. 🙂 I love th you and your doctor compared socks. Ha! When my son gt married, he game all the groomsmen and both dad Star Wars themed socks and they took a wedding photo showing them off. Loved that!

41. WINNER – Using Random.org, I drew the name Betty Strohecker. Congratulations, Betty! I will email you with instructions for claiming your sock prize. 🙂

    I loved hearing about everyone’s cute socks. We’re a fun bunch!

    1. Thank you so much. I received your email! Wonderful.

42. I love socks but I love bookish socks even more!!! 😍 I think I actually have one or two of those! I think I have 6 or 7 bookish pairs, but there is always room for more! These are awesome 💕

43. Those are all so neat. I think the bookworm socks are my favorite. I have plain ol’ white socks. Maybe I need to start getting myself some neat bookish socks. Very cool
    (bummer that I missed the giveaway, but I wanted to comment anyway.)
