Feature & Follow Friday


Hey, lovely people! This is our first Follow My Book Blog Friday, hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. The rules for participating are actually very simple. Click on the image to learn more.




Question: Keeping with the Spirit of Giving this season, what book do you think EVERYONE should read and if you could, you would buy it for all of your family and friends?



Oh, my answer to this question would probably change from one day to the next, but today I'd really like to mention Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys. The books I appreciate the most are the ones that open my eyes about an issue I'd been (unintentionally) neglecting up until that point. This is certainly one of those books.
