books i just bought!

2024/4/21 Edited to

... Read moreIf you're a book lover, you might be excited to dive into 'A Little Life' by Hanya Yanagihara, a novel known for its heart-wrenching storytelling and rich character development. This book has received significant acclaim, including nominations for the Man Booker Prize. With its 816 pages, it's definitely a commitment, but the emotions and depth of the narrative make it worthwhile. On the other hand, 'Normal People' by Sally Rooney, another modern classic, explores the complex friendship and love between two Irish teenagers. Rooney's writing is both beautiful and sharp, making it a perfect choice for those who enjoy contemporary literature. Both novels address themes of relationships, pain, and the journey of self-discovery, making them perfect additions to your reading list. Whether you're looking for books to add to your bookshelf or searching for the next gripping story to lose yourself in, these titles are sure to resonate. Don't forget to connect with the book community using popular hashtags like #ALittleLife and #NormalPeople to find discussions and insights that can enrich your reading experience!

My grandma passed away and left me her books 🥲
My grandma passed away a couple months ago and she left me all her books. We used to read a lot and that was the main thing we bonded over so this isn’t shocking just sad . I knew she had a lot but not this much though she even bought some twice! I’ll post more of the books as I go through the bins

Books I wish I bought 📚🎯
If you can’t tell, I’m obsessed with special editions! I can’t get enough sprayed edge books on my shelves. If you haven’t checked out Target’s book section recently, I highly recommend it! They always have 20-30% off their books, and have a large amount of limited editions! 📚🎯 #lemon8partner
