Not even on the first chapter yet but I had to post this. As a product of 13 years of Catholic schooling and a current teacher-in-training, something tells me this is gonna be a fun read. 😏 #dedicationpage

Doing something out of the ordinary for me: still reading The Last of August, but also starting this children's novel for my Children's Literature class. Two very different genres and topics...we'll see how this double-reading goes!

Fangirl: A Novel | Rainbow Rowell

Finished Fangirl last night (or I suppose it was REALLY early this morning) and I was neither impressed nor disappointed in the book. It was super well-written and very relatable, but I also found it to be pretty predictable. Nevertheless, I liked the characters of Cath, Levi, and Reagan and I'd say it was a good coming-of age-book.

Though I'm not an English major and I love the major I'm in, I can't help but love this thought. Spending your days solely reading books? Sign me up!
I started this a little later than expected but so far, I'm loving Cath! On to chapter 5!

Hello fellow littens! While working toward my degree in Early Childhood Education, I will be taking a children's literature class this semester and you're all invited to follow my weekly literary journey! Our first assigned book is the popular Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, which I'll be starting on Thursday!
Happy reading!

My first plane ride EVER was spent totally engrossed in this book. Finished it in a day and it was AMAZING! Today will be spent getting a tour of Hollywood from my brother and trying to celebrity-spot. Wish us luck! 👍🏻

Here's today's #bookhaul, courtesy of my brother's Christmas gift (a Barnes and Noble gift card hidden in a mug of chocolate-yum!). It's not a coincidence this is also a very small portion of my 2017 #TBR pile 😊 Happy Reading! #FunFridayPhoto

What better way to stay sane during finals weeks than a light and witty read during study breaks? #shopaholic&sister #sophiekinsella #studybreaks

Found this first edition, first print, original layout copy of Nancy Drew and The Secret at Shadow Ranch from 1931! I will treasure it forever! I think I use the phrase "treat yourself" a bit too often when it comes to books. #nancydrew #carolynkeene #treatyourself

rubyslippersreads My "treat yourself" to books has gotten much worse since I joined @Litsy. ? #blameitonlitsy 8y
Melissa73 I definitely agree! I seem to find new books to buy every day! 8y

My all-time favorite book and my favorite quote from the book. It touches my heart in so many ways and just goes to show how truly important books and writing are. ❤️?? #thesecretlifeofbees

I was given this book by a friend and I am embarrassed to say it took me about 6 months to actually pick it up. It was a little slow to start but eventually, I was hooked. I went on a very emotional roadtrip with the characters and, while I suspected the ending, it was still somehow surprising. An overall good book
