Popped into the bookstore with my love a few hours ago, and we're just now polishing it off. Sharing a childhood favorite with him has been such a blast, I find myself busting up laughing more than I have in what feels like years. Stories bring us all together❤️ Can't wait to see the movie tomorrow!

Just learned I can borrow audio books digitally from my library. And download them onto my phone. Whaaaat?! When did this become a thing?? #itsonlikedonkeykong

Having read HP a million times in my childhood, I'm enjoying a reread for the first time in a decade. I've watched the movies many times over the years, however, and I had almost completely forgotten about Peeves! Looking forward to rediscovering many forgotten details in the weeks to come!

For some reason everything I've been reading lately has been super heavy and sad stuff. So ready for a fun read. Digging in to this puppy as we speak. Also, it finally feels like spring! So many things to be excited about :)

But, if we are being completely honest, it is exactly what I'll be doing with the rest of my day.

Go away life, I'm reading.

New hardcover books are the best. And I mean like brandspanking, hasn't even been cracked opened one bit kinda new, and as you open it up for the first time, the spine makes that amazing crackle sound.

Hommina hommina...

Starting this beaut today.

My soul is all aflutter with this devastatingly raw story of two sisters lives in France during WW2. Grab your copy, and a box of tissues, and dig in at your next opportunity
