5 Favorite Recent Reads
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone on social media and have seen people ask for recommendations for good books. I get messages all the time from family and friends who are always looking for a good book to read. Sometimes picking the perfect book to read is so hard because there are just SO MANY out there & I still to this day struggle with finding the perfect book. Sometimes I know what I want because of others recommendations and other times I just wing and hope it’s a good one. So far I’ve loved every single book I pick out mostly because I spend enough time researching reviews. Now that I am officially done with school, I am so excited to finally get back to reading.
