What’s on My TBR?

One of the best things about becoming a bookstagrammer and book blogger is getting free books to review! Over time as I’ve grown as a blogger, I’ve been given the opportunity to connect with authors, publishers, and marketing teams. Getting book mail is by far the best thing ever, right?

I recently started a Little Free Library at the local office where I work. My employer provided financial resources for me to purchase new books to kick-start the initiative and it’s been such a pleasure to learn how much my fellow colleagues love reading! I’ve also started expanding my scope of genres both in what I read and what I request from publishers. I’m still not a huge historical fiction lover but I have tons of friends that love them and pairing that with the lending library at work, there’s a ton of people that will benefit from the books I’m gifted.

To keep things more organized, I’m updating the layout of this monthly page. Please use the link below to see the latest:
