Talk Bookish To Me Talk Bookish To Me

I'm back with another fun book shopping challenge! In this episode my friend Keisha and I challenged each other to find books based on genre & a particular item had to be on the book cover. It was a bit like a bookish scavenger hunt in the best possible way. Let me know what you think the next book shopping challenge should be.

Who’s ready to do some traveling? As summer approaches I get the itch to start planning some weekend getaways, vacations, and sometimes I don’t have the funds to travel all the places I want to go. Instead I dive into a book that will transport me. Today, Nahomy and I are sharing some book recommendations to cure your wanderlust.

Buckle up book nerds. Today, Elizabeth and I are going to be sharing books we didn't like. Now before you get defensive we both acknowledge that while these books didn’t work for us, they might be great books for you. We don’t want to bash these books, rather we want to share why they didn’t work for us. Let me know what terrible books you have read because of hype.
