FOR MY NEXT READ

I picked...

I'll give you the sun, by Jandy Nelson

For some reason I can only read one book at a time, otherwise I feel like I'm cheating on characters..

So sorry I've been inactive, life has been crazy!

The newest addition to my family is Jellybean the kitten. She was born like a week and a half after my son. I adore her crazy behavior and we are trying to teach bother her and my son how to act around each other 🤦‍♀️

I also got engaged to the love of my life, I'm very excited to be with him for the rest of my life, even if he drives me nuts.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to find more time to read but it seems like I am so busy with everything and everyone I haven't had time. Though I do hope to finish the book I have been working on, for the LAST 4 MONTHS, within the next couple days.

I chose Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys because this will forever be my favorite book. I have read it a bunch of times and I still get the bubbly feeling afterwards. It may be a new year, but this will always be the best book! 

BOOK REVIEW

This has been a long time coming, but I finally found the time to fishing this book.

I rated this book 5 stars on Goodreads. It has been a long time since I've been sucked into a book. This book is filled with a very important lesson. I'm not going to put spoilers on this because I really believe you should just read it.

It is a young adult fiction so you really need to keep that in mind while reading it, however the author does an amazing job at being descriptive while still keeping your attention. She also changes perspectives very smoothly.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an easy read. While it took me a month or so to read it, I also have a child and suck at time management. It could have taken me a couple days if I had all the time in the world.

Hello everyone, and happy new year! 

This last weekend has been quite hard on this new momma. My son got really sick and so we have had many sleepless nights and a trip to the emergency room. He is doing a bit better which is why I am posting today. 

On another note, I am going to participate in @myownlittlebookcorner‘s Shelf-Confidence Book Photo Challenge. This one is a day late, but I have been working on the editing for a few so I thought I would post it anyway. 

"You want to know how to navigate life? Don't live and die by the beliefs you had when you were young. Everything changes, that's what you learn when you've lived as long as I have. The worst crime you can do to yourself is to forget why you chose the path you're on, but keep walking down it anyway."
