pickHaving a hard time deciding who my favorite character was. For now I‘ll go to bed mulling over this amazing road trip story.

My favorite book of March was The Trail of Lost Hearts by Tracey Garvis Graves (tagged).
pickThe FMC was a bit bitchy to the MMC, but it turned out she had good reason. This ended up being really sweet! I could see this being a Netflix holiday movie.

The comfort of little, unexpected things ♥️
pickAfter Saturday ballet op shop spoils from late November. I love a loud print. Total = 40.50
Gotta love the commitment to showing forearms on the cover of a Winter romance. 😂
Former best friends turned enemies are stuck together on the way home from college. Their history is pretty sad, but of course all ends well. Way too steamy for such a short book, IMO, but enjoyable. I really liked Charlie's relationship with his little sister, who's in remission from Leukemia; he's terrified of not making it home for her Christmas.

pickThis is a book for everyone, so you don‘t have to believe in something specific in order to read it. I liked it more the second time I read it. Tom is an emotionally intelligent man seeking to understand different perspectives on religion as he travels through the U.S. interviewing people. He diversified the religions or his interviews. There are no conversion requirements. I am still not religious, but I feel like it was worth reading.
so-soLucy, a young librarian, gets pulled into the life of a young boy who frequents the library, 10-year-old Ian. It turns into a rather far-fetched road trip adventure of sorts. There was a lot about reading and books and how important they are, so that was good. But it also really didn‘t quite hold up and was a bit of a mess in the middle. The characters‘ motives were never very clear and their relationship didn‘t quite develop.

📕I've only read one off the list.
I'll have a tough time choosing which to read. 🤔
This Litsy event is among my favorites - glad I made the cut this year!
Now that I live in NC, the winter weather provides a great reason to stay indoors & read. ❄
In particular, I like beginning & ending each day with a book - if only a few pages.
☕My reading is usually accompanied by a cup of tea.
