Books I Love + A Giveaway!
Updated: Oct 15

*Giveaway closed. Thanks to all who entered!*
I have loved reading for as long as I can remember. As a child I gravitated toward fiction, and now I gravitate toward nonfiction, but I try to be intentional about reading a little bit of everything (I leave the business books to my husband though! He gives me the cliff-note version). As an adult, I learned to love poetry alongside my kids.
I wanted to put together some of my favorite books AND do a giveaway. One of you will have the chance to win one of the books below! Sign up at the top of this post, and on October 15, I will pick a winner. You can pick whichever book you'd like, and I will send it your way! I love knowing that a book I love will be read and loved by another person! At the bottom of this post, you can find a downloadable PDF with all of these books listed, alongside their covers, so you can save for your own use.
