Let's be book besties!

My favorite audiobooks! Full disclosure- DCC is My favorite audiobooks! 

Full disclosure- DCC is the only one I listened to completely. The narrator is absolutely incredible. 

The rest I used as a supplement, so I could keep reading books I was loving when I had other things that needed to be done. 

If we've been friends for a while, you might know I struggled with audiobooks for a long time. 

I have the hardest time paying attention when someone is reading to me. So, being able to enjoy audiobooks is something I never expected to happen. 

QOTD: What is a book you think is better in audio? (Mine is dungeon crawler carl) .
The chokehold The Unselected Journals of Emma M Li The chokehold The Unselected Journals of Emma M Lion by Beth Brower has on me is unreal. 

It has changed the trajectory of my reading. 

And honestly, I think after reading the classics, I'm going to have to do a reread. 

It is one of my absolute favorite series.
Children's Chapter Books, mostly fantasy because I Children's Chapter Books, mostly fantasy because I've been a mostly fantasy reader my entire life. 

Full disclosure- I haven't actually read Percy Jackson yet, but we're going to read it soon and I'm pretty sure we're going to love it. 

QOTD: What was your favorite book growing up? What books are you excited to read with your children?
The Unselected Journals of Emma M Lion by Beth Bro The Unselected Journals of Emma M Lion by Beth Brower is my newest obsession. 

I devoured all 8 volumes and desperately need more. 

I love the characters wholeheartedly. 

I didn't know what to do with myself, so I'm reading Pride and Prejudice and am finding so many parallels. 

I can't wait to see what I find in Jane Eyre. 

What was the latest book that became your entire personality?

Books you couldn't pay me to..... Shut up about. Books you couldn't pay me to..... 

Shut up about. 
Put Down. 
Recover from. 
Stop recommending. 

This trend was surprisingly difficult. 

Drop your favorite book recommendations. My TBR could always use some more books.

Books I'm embarrassed I haven't read yet. There Books I'm embarrassed I haven't read yet. 

There are just so many books and so little time. 

I'm finally going to get around to reading some of them though thanks to my newest obsession- The Unselected Journals of Emma M Lion. 

Which books should I prioritize? 

What's a book you're embarrassed you haven't gotten around to yet?

I can't force you to read anything, but if I could I can't force you to read anything, but if I could, these are some of the books I would force you to read. 

And before anyone asks-

the reason The Cosmere isn't  here is simply because I haven't read it yet. 

I have also not made it through Lord of the Rings. 

I will read both eventually. I promise. 

What books do you wish you could make someone read?

**I just noticed this got flagged as AI . I can only imagine it's because I removed the background from my picture 🤔.
I have finished the first 4 volumes of The Unselec I have finished the first 4 volumes of The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion by Beth Brower. 

And I am utterly obsessed with them. 

The characters. 
The emotional depth.
The heartache. 
The lighthearted humor. 
The friendship. 

The idea that a romance is blooming, but I cannot tell with whom. 

I cannot get enough of my dear Emma, The Photographer, The Duke, The Vicar, and The Reprobates 10.
