Q O T D:
What is your favorite "feel good" read? You know, your go-to book when you just want to feel light and happy?
I have a few, but one of my favorites is L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables, though I've been reading Tamora Pierce's Song of the Lioness series lately! There's just something about the books from our childhood... ✨️
