If only I could say what this book/show/movement means to me. I went through a dark time in my mid 20s, and to remind myself how strong I am every morning, I had “nolite te bastardes carborundorum” tattooed on my leg. I‘ve waited for this sequel, and it was killing me to be at work knowing it was at home waiting for me! 💚

Only a few chapters in, but definitely enjoying it!

Starting this one today! 💚

This book confirmed my desire to live a childless life, but it also made me want to hold the witchy little girl and tell her the world isn‘t so bad 😭

Very excited to start this one again! Maybe I should‘ve waited until the spooky season started? 🧐☠️🎃👻

I‘m so sad to see her leave this world. She will always be one of, if not my favorite authors. Rest easy, sweet lady 💔

Just picked this one up, super excited! 🧡

Another day, another book!

Okay, I‘ve finally come around to using Kindle for reading, AND figured out how to rent e-books from the library. My summer reading has been elevated ☀️📚

I‘m much more of a “read the physical book” kinda girl, but I‘m going to give the Kindle app another shot with this one!

Just started this bargain find, let‘s see how it goes!

Found this gem on a trip to Ollie‘s, and you bet I paid $3 for it. Cannot wait for the Downton Abbey movie 🧐

So sorry I‘ve been MIA friends! So I finally passed my Series 7 securities exam, which is why I was in hiding! Study mode really took over, and also pushed me to get my finances in better order than they are now. Looking forward to this read! 🙏🏼💸

So, out of the four books I‘ve tackled this month, 3 of them have a red cover, weird. All have been great, and it got me thinking about the whole “judging a book by its cover” wisdom. I‘m interested friends, what are your thoughts about cover art and it‘s value to the story it wraps around? I‘d love to hear y‘alls thoughts! 💕

17 pages in and I am hooked! Thanks to Laura for selling this book, wherever you are! 😆

I‘m about halfway through this one right now. It‘s definitely for fans of historical fiction! It centers around the lives of two women, one during WW1 and the other during WW2, showing how they intersect post-war. Super into this one!

⏰Okay, I can‘t put this one down. It‘s a story of different women all going through different parts of a woman‘s journey, and they are all connected and in some twisted way form a community (I use that term loosely here). If you enjoyed Handmaid‘s Tale and the premise of The Hours, this one is for you! ⏰

I finished this gem today, and let me say, it was impossible to put down. I‘ve been a fan of Jesmyn‘s since college, and she did not disappoint with this one. Haunting, heart wrenching, and eye opening come to mind here. If you‘re a fan of Toni Morrison, I definitely think you should pick this one up!
