Favorite Blogs

For Play
Currently, I am reading The Light Between Oceans, which has been recommended by many. I am not too far in but can already tell it’s going to be good!
My past two reads were The Fault in Our Stars and Where We Belong. I highly recommend both of these books. Great story line and fast reads. You won’t be able to put them down!
If you are reading anything interesting, please share! Have a great weekend!
