I compiled this post from a hybrid of Amazon bestsellers, a Goodreads list of most popular books of 2019, New York Times bestsellers, and my own Instagram browsing. It’s not at all an exact science, but more a loose guide to what’s making the rounds, topping the charts, and getting buzz around the bookish world so far this year— hope you find some gems on this list to read and enjoy!
Read MoreJuly was full of so, so many library books (SORRY, books i already own! i promise i’ll read all of you eventually!) and lots of Colleen Hoover and mostly easy, breezy romances… but hey, it’s summer, so NO SHAME.
Read MoreHaving a weird diet means that’s inevitable, yeah, but food is just fascinating to me and I absolutely love reading about, learning about it, cooking it, growing it, and eating it (of course). I’ve loved reading more foodie books in recent years, and thought it would be fun to include this category in A RAD Reading Challenge!
Read MoreI knew nothing about these books, but their beautiful covers alone caught my eye and drew me in. High five for good design!
Read MoreIt’s been such a solid year of reading so far, but thankfully, of the 80+ books I’ve read so far in 2019, I only gave 5-star ratings to 12! Picking my halfway top ten from that list wasn’t too terribly hard… these are all SUCH winners.
Read MoreGetting rid of books is not easy, I know. (This is coming from a girl who has hundreds of unread book on her shelves, so clearly I haven’t mastered the whole “minimalism” thing yet…) But no matter how many books you prefer to keep, or how many you have room for, there comes a time for all of us where we realize we need to let some beloved books go…
Read MoreI knew it would be fun to get creative with the prompts for A RAD Reading Challenge and include “A book with a cover in your favorite color” as one of them. There are SO MANY beautiful and colorful book covers out there, but I wanted to share a rainbow of ideas to get you started.
Read MoreA brief little look at life currently — what i’m reading, enjoying, finding, saving, and tasting this month!
Read MoreDear body… It’s been a rough season for us, hasn’t it? I haven’t loved you very well lately. I haven’t felt proud of you, haven’t felt good about you, haven’t really known how to address you or see you or appreciate you…
Read MoreAhhhh, sweet summertime. Wait, just kidding — this is my least favorite season by FAR. Thankfully, though, the days are longer and the extra sunlight motivates me to read even more than usual…
Read MoreThere’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!
Read MoreKid’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.
Read MoreA quick peek at life lately — all the things I’m currently picking, going, wishing, wearing, and celebrating!
Read MoreThis 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!
Read MoreI 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!
Read MoreAmazon Prime is a dangerous, wonderful thing. I have loved browsing blog posts lately of people’s Prime purchases, and thought it would be fun to occasionally share what I’ve bought and loved from the wild lands of the Amazon.
Read Moreit’s not at all easy to open yourself up— to your own self-reflection, to God, to others. to let down your guard, to inch open the door, to break through the defenses, to let another person see you and speak to you and share with you… it takes work. real, hard work.
