"Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them." Lemony Snickett

I was the child that got in trouble for reading with a flashlight when I was supposed to be sleeping. Now I am the adult that has a blatant disregard for proper bedtime because I'd rather be reading. I love reading books with my kids. We tend to use audiobooks so we can all listen and experience them together. You can find us most evenings driving around listening to our books! 

Picture Books for All

These titles cover all sorts of topics that just touched my heart and made me smile. I hope they do the same for you. 

This story is beautifully done.
Kindness and friendship can be found all around us.
Such a fun story!
This story is so cute! Who can resist chonky cats?

Graphic Novels Are Great

Admittedly, I have not read many graphic novels. This is me branching out and trying something new. Come along for the journey! 

<p>This is NOT for children. Very visually appealing, and if you love Greek gods, then this is the graphic novel for you!</p>
<p>I LOVE this story! I am eagerly awaiting the second book to come out. The visuals of anxiety in this story are so spot on. I was thoroughly emotionally invested in this story. I hope it's one that you enjoy as well!</p>
<p>This story alone proves that words do not make a story. Such a wonderful graphic novel.</p>

Picture This

Picture books that melted my heart, brought a tear to my eye, or made me laugh. Sometimes all of the above! 

Beautifully illustrated and the message is amazing. Definitely made me tear up.
Very cute. I loved the illustrations and the story.
Beautifully illustrated. This one got all of my feelings going.

Poetic

 

Sometimes I find myself craving poetry. What I love the most about poetry is that no two people will ever read and feel it the same way. These are the titles that spoke to my heart. 

 

<p>So many poems in this work made me close the book, close my eyes, and just savor the words and let them flow through my mind.</p>
<p>I loved everything about this book. The illustrations, the poetry, all of it.</p>
<p>This book has definite triggers in it, however, it is powerful and beautifully done.</p>
<p>One of my all time favorites. I find myself coming back to this book again and again.</p>

Hard Hitting

These reads hit pretty hard and left me in a book hangover for a while afterwards. 

<p>Trigger warning: this book covers a very hard topic of grooming. I had to read this in bits and pieces. It's wonderfully done and captures the trauma and recovery very well.</p>
<p>An inside look at what is happening far too often around our borders.</p>
<p>A look inside the lives of youth living in tough conditions in Africa. The resilience in this book is nothing short of inspiring.</p>
<p>This book shows the resilience and determination of a mother's love and protection of her child.</p>

Read With the Lights ON

Creepy crawly reads that may or may not keep you awake at night. 

<p>I love reads that keep me guessing the entire time. This was one of them.</p>
<p>I loved the combination of history and thriller in this book. It kept me guessing and making the wrong predictions until the end.</p>
<p>I couldn't put my finger on who I thought was responsible until it was right in front of me.</p>
<p>I loved this book. It gave me "Haunting of Hill House" vibes the whole time, and it painted amazing imagery the entire time.</p>
