Nightingale. So good, but you will cry. I also LOVE the Harry Potter series ‍♀️. I’m waiting for my kids to be old enough to read them with me. The Day the World Came to Town is really good, too.

@wellfounded I would highly recommend.  It is a beautiful read, especially during this tough phase. One will never take simple living and nature's bounty for granted again.

I mean if ya'll like smut, the best written smut I've ever read has all been fanfiction. (You can get away with a lot more in fanfic then traditional publishing ) Hit me up if you want some recommendations.

I cannot pick just one. Not possible, lol but depends on my mood. On the "based on real life" or autobiography side, I really loved "born a crime", economical commentary - "the tipping point" by Malcom gladwell, "difficult women" is an interesting compilation of short stories showing essentially the back stories of how people got where they are (aimed at showing that where somebody may be seen negatively by society, they have a backstory and lives that led to that point). Hmmm. Then there is a handful of like 75 novels. I can't ever pick. They all have different reasons to be favorites.

My faves always change. Growing up it was the “@byington of New Moon” trilogy by LM Montgomery. (Think Anne of Green Gables, but with a little paranormal. ) Current go-to: A Court of Thorns & Roses series by Sarah J Maas. Fantasy retelling of Beauty & the Beast. (Her other Throne of Glass series is great too, just way longer. ) & ALWAYS Outlander.

Bear town. If you like hockey and drama this is for you. Very well written. I actually don’t even like sports but this book was so well written that I blew through it.
