The wonderful world of bookish subscription boxes – Part 2
Part Two of my long list of book subscription boxes that look like the best kind of mail a girl can get.
The wonderful world of bookish subscription boxes – Part 1
We’ve all seen them. The myriad of wonderful, beautiful, exciting, tempting bookish subscription boxes out there. What’s not to love? They combine two of the most joyful things in the world–books and mail.
Books featuring books, bookshops, and libraries
As usual, my husband and I ended up in a bookstore on date night. I discovered a treasure trove of books about books and bookstores. How fun? Here are books about bookstores that I’m excited to read.
Four Bookish Dates for Book Lovers and Their Lovers
Valentine’s Day may be past, but that doesn’t mean romance should die. Spending quality, focused time with one another is so, so, so important to a relationship. So, grab your book-loving significant other and wander hand-in-hand over to another date night this week.
![I couldn't put this book down yesterday. It is so dang fun! And spicy. And fabulous.
I'm 53% through this book and so excited to see what happens.
Laundry may or may not happen today. 😆

![I started reading this book last night and gosh, what a unique style! I am intrigued by the tone, the voice, the structure AND the story.
Have you read LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY? What did you think of it?

![I finished this delightful book yesterday.
I'd planned to read something else first, but then the audiobook came available at my library and it was too tempting to put it off.
As a mom of a toddler, I love how audiobooks let me be present with my child while she plays or do household tasks while still reading.
Anyway, this book. It's sweet and romantic, absolutely hilarious, and yet also deals with the topic of domestic abuse in a really wonderful, gentle, kind way. The author clearly worked hard to ensure that readers understand that emotional abuse is just as serious and harmful as physical abuse. CW: this book has both on the page.
This was definitely a five-star read for me and one that I will be rereading.

![Last. Now. Next.
LAST: I absolutely adored ASTRID PARKER DOESN'T FAIL. I read it in two days. I got very little else done. 😁
NOW: I'm not a D&D player, but I know lots of fab folks who are and so many friends who also share my taste in books recommended LEGENDS & LATTES to me. I'm only a few chapters in and really liking it.
NEXT: A few of my mama friends expressed interest in starting a book club and MR. WRONG NUMBER is what we picked for our first read. I'm stoked to be a part of something that encourages moms of littles to do something for themselves for the pure enjoyment of it.
