Flight of Four: Summer Lovin'

There’s something about the summertime that seems to go SO WELL with steamier reads, am I right?! A good romance just works so well for a pool day or a beach trip. Here are four of my favorites!

Children's' Book Recommendations // A RAD Reading Challenge

Kid’s books are awesome. I know I’m no longer a kid, but I think I appreciate their beauty and whimsy and meaning so much more now than I did when I was younger… and I LOVED books as a kid! It was a blast to compile a bunch of my favorite children’s books and even more that I want to get my hands on soon.

What I Read in May

This month was full of SO MUCH READING and so many fast, fun, kick-off to summer books, and lots of YA, and a few duds too… but it was SOLID. The stack of books got a little out of control by the end of the month, but that’s the best problem to have, am I right?! Here’s to even more reading this summer!

RAD Summer Reads // 2019

I gathered up 30 of my favorite 4 and 5-star reads in a variety of genres to stack your summer reading shelves with the best books around. Happy summer reading, bookworms!

What I Read in April

I did not read much at ALL this month. Even though I got through 8 books in total which doesn’t seem THAT far off from my goal of 10, many of this month’s reads were short ones (young adult, middle grade, and quick creativity books that were very fast reads!).
