It’s good to be home. Have you ever been away on a long trip and as fun as the vacation was, it just feels good to be home? That’s my feelings as I write on here. It’s good to be home. It’s good to be back writing about the things I love and sharing with the people who love them.
It’s good to be writing about books again. Books are such beautiful things! So my first post in over a year- what to share with you all! I could tell you about the books I read last year, the things I accomplished, or the books I gifted to others. I chose something different.
Do you have any books that you like to re-read? Books that just feel like home to come back to? Books that you can read and re-read and still enjoy every minute of? Books that you can practically quote? Books that you can skip from one section to the next because you know exactly where the parts you really want to read are at?
I’ve got those! I’d like to share a few with you.
I love this book. This was one I went into with trepidation and not expecting much but I ended up absolutely loving this fun little rom-com of a read. The U.S. has been broken down and re-built. Fast forward to years in the future when a ruling family now has to find a woman for their son to marry. Picking one girl from each section this read is the Bachelor meets a divided country caste system meets a teenage rom com.
This one is so cute! Fandoms have become a very real part of culture and this book celebrates them! The main character has been writing fanfiction of a fantasy series, think Harry Potter meets Eragon, for most of her teen years. As a new college student she has to discover how she can meld her need to write her fanfiction with her desire to begin experiencing the outside world. Cath is a lovable introvert that the reader will root for from the get-go.
These are my current go-to loved reads! What are yours?
Keep Sparkling,
