I did a digital #TBR because so many of these are digital reads! I have a big month planned but I do every month. I started the first book to many of these last month and want to keep pushing through the series! I tend to not continue series as of late and don‘t want to keep that trend going.

Winter Garden | Kristin Hannah

1. Calla lilies! I also love roses 🌹 but callas are #1!

2. Cucumber and squash- most varieties.

3. Both! We have a very small yard, so we do container gardening every year. My in-laws just got me an aero garden for my birthday! So, I can hopefully have herbs year round. I also have LOTS of houseplants! I love them so much! ❤️

4. Tagged book- it‘s a stretch but I love it!

REPollock I had not heard of an aero garden before! Cool! 🌱🌿💚 6y
BooksAreTheNewBlack @REPollock Right?! I thought it was the coolest but my husband was not convinced! Wait, until she sees all that fresh Cilantro! His fave. Haha! 😁 6y

This book is intense and will make you cry! It‘s so worth it though. Blake takes on the rape culture and she does a good job. There‘s a lot of things going on that it sometimes can lose focus on the main plot. Overall, great read!

I‘ve had this on my shelf and finally got to it! Thanks to the #buzzwordAthon! This book was a bit disappointing. It has potential but I wanted a lot more about the magic realism aspect and more information. By the time we find out, she‘s wrapping things up!

Bookzombie Is it just by the titles or could it be the author‘s name that begins with the letter? 6y
