I know someone already said this but I have to agree, I think at least everyone who loves books should read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I just read it for the first time this year and it‘s one of my favorite books.

I‘d love to travel to the UK sometime!

Thanks @kellyann28 for hosting the Welcome To Litsy #Giveaway ☺️

Thanks for the #65Kgiveaway @Eggs and congratulations on your milestone!

The two books I‘d pick are Fangirl and The War that Saved my Life, and my favorite reading snack is pretty much anything gummy :)

I‘m enjoying this beautiful book today, which is a nice break from a couple of serious non-fiction books I read in the past week.

#MeToo

This was a powerful book. Reading this, I realized I‘ve been telling myself that what I‘ve been through is “not that bad” compared to what other people have experienced. Reading this book is helping me stop trying to diminish my experiences by comparing them to other people‘s stories.

A difficult but important book. I hope many others will read it and understand how real and pervasive rape culture is today.

Circe | Madeline Miller

It was so good. I didn‘t know much about Greek mythology before, I don‘t know if that‘s a good or bad thing, but I guess that helped it seem more fresh to me. I‘m glad I read it.

Hey @CoffeeNBooks thanks for hosting this giveaway! I would love to read “The Hazel Wood” this summer, it sounds so good! And something I hate about summer is my work commute because my car has no AC! 😓 #SummerizeGiveaway

CoffeeNBooks Oh goodness! I almost hate to like this post- I certainly don't like that you don't have A/C in your car! 😭 6y

My favorite read so far of 2018 was Jane Steele! I just loved that book, it was perfect. And I‘m looking forward to reading The Female Persuasion, if I ever get my turn in the library queue! #Bankholidaygiveaway @Amy-Laura thank you for hosting this giveaway.

Way to go with 1,000 followers!
My literary confession: sometimes I flip through a book I‘m reading and glance at the ending. I‘ve never truly spoiled a book this way though, somehow!

1. My reading companion, Moses.
2. Wisconsin. Boring, I know, and not a world created by her. I pretty much only read historical fiction 🙄
3. Plain old ice water all day.
4. My wife and I visit the lake where I grew up every summer and watch the sunset. Although we‘ve missed the last couple.
5. Drizzly rain, for sure. It‘s my favorite kind of weather.
