10.27.20✨

I’ve been looking through the pics I’ve taken throughout the summer and reminiscing back to when it was still warm and sunny (like a month ago)β˜€οΈ It’s been gloomy and chilly here in Pittsburgh lately (total Fall weather that I should be used to by now considering I’ve lived here my whole lifeπŸ˜…), and I already miss the colorful flowers and bright skies😭 So here’s a summery pic to brighten up your day!

πŸ“šRandom question for today: What are your biggest bookish pet peeves?

I’m really interested to hear your answers on this one! I think one of mine is dog-earring pages (for myself.. if you do it, you do you!😁). Or maybe plots that just go on and onnnn without any signs of ending well... gosh I could probably name so many right nowπŸ˜‚

How many books did you read this past month? Any new faves?

I read 10 books this past month! I loved reading WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU, FOUR DAYS OF YOU AND ME, TODAY TONIGHT TOMORROW, and SADIE. Not pictured here, but I also listened to the MONDAY’S NOT COMING audiobook (which was so dang good) + read 5 graphic novels.

Do you have a favorite contemporary? I have many, but To All the Boys series is one series that completely surprised me. I thought it wouldn't be my cup of tea at all, but I ended up liking it a lot.
