Can’t wait to hop back into this book! One of my all-time faves & perfect for #mentalhealthawareness month! So glad it won the poll for @adultbooklr ’s read along this month 😍😍 ALSO glad @emlee822 talked me into this signed first edition I saw at @leftbankbooks in October! #abrestofus #adultbooklr #bookstagram #bookphotography #colorstory #photoedit

Sophie can’t decide what to read next…

I’m so late to the party I can’t even see the band wagon anymore…I was going to read this later since its at the end of my TBR shelf, but then I saw the first minutes of the movie and I got all excited. I don’t doubt this is an amazing novel plot and character wise, but I am struggling with the authors voice as it alludes to a time and age I can’t relate with. Nevermind, once I hit the thick of the plot I’m sure I’ll be swayed!

#spooktacularbooks Day 8: Gifted Books 💛 @ljsilverman1 brilliant author & friend extraordinaire Laura sent me The Song of Achilles & A Study in Charlotte for my birthday! 🙌🏾 thanks boo! 💛💛💛 Also can I just implore y'all to add Laura’s upcoming debut novel “Girl Out of Water” to your TBR on Goodreads? It’s about a girl named Anise who’s stranded in Nebraska far from her native Santa Cruz and trades in her surfboard for a skateboard and surfer boys for super hot Skaterboi™ Lincoln. 😌 Check it out on goodreads!
