BOOK REVIEWS

BOOKS I HAVE READ LATELY!

Books that are a must-read this Summer!

Reading is a part of my morning routine I can’t live without! I bring books on every trip and always find time to read! Reading in the morning is a great way to start the day! Your mind is refreshed, calm, and ready to take on the workday!

What have I been reading lately?

Educated

I was told by so many to read this one, so I ordered it right away. Having no idea what it was about and loved it as soon as I dived in! I also think it was a great book to read about the current state of our world! A fantastic story of a young girl who left her off-the-grid, anti-government family to go and get a Ph.D.!

The Pact

get it here

This is a sad love story that was inspired by the real-life story of the writers. Inspired by a girl she met while teaching who was depressed and possibly suicidal. I must warn you that if you have depression or suicidal triggers, THIS IS NOT A BOOK FOR YOU! It’s a beautifully sad love story of two young souls who are intertwined with each other thoroughly. I cried a few times but couldn’t put it down!

Where the Crawdads Sing

get it here

WOW, this book will keep you reading! It is a straightforward read story of a young girl living in the marsh. Her family slowly left her alone, and she was left to fend for herself. The marsh where she fell in love and hid from those trying to take advantage of her. She fell in love with a young boy who taught her to read who she would meet secretly in the marsh.

She would paint her beautiful marsh, and these paintings would soon bring her away from the comforts of her beloved marsh.
