Sparking a Lifelong Love of Reading
Whenever we read in front of others, we encourage their interest in reading, too — especially when we read for our own enjoyment in front of our kids!
Monkey see, monkey do, so take that endless TBR list and turn it into some literary self care. Reading for enjoyment is good for both you and others! I’m hopelessly hooked on the joy of diving into a new story, and I invite you to come along for the ride by checking out some of my latest reads …
Great Big Beautiful Life
In Great Big Beautiful Life, Emily Henry leans away from her traditional rom-com voice and introduces deeper themes that bleed into contemporary and women’s fiction as well.
By slowly revealing the truth of famous heiress Margaret’s complex past, Henry adds a layer of mystery and intrigue that goes well beyond the romantic tension between professional writers Alice and Hayden. While there's unquestionably a romantic thread to the book, the bulk of the plot is much more about a personal legacy and the convoluted ways that family histories are woven together.
Five Stars for The Encore: Book Review
The Encore will land well with readers who like family dramas with strong character development, messy-but-likable people, rise-to-riches stories, coming-of-age novels, happy-ever-after romances, and a light touch on darker emotional themes.
