Do you have a purse book? 👜

I finally finished my purse book. lol I found this book that’s a small novella and kept it in my purse. Anytime I would usually scroll on my phone while waiting on something out and about, I would read instead. Maybe Not by Colleen Hoover is about two roommates who go from enemies to lovers. #pursebook #reading #coffeeshop #enemiestolovers #novella

4/23 Edited to

... Read moreCarrying a purse book can truly transform those small pockets of waiting time throughout your day into enjoyable reading opportunities. I used to find myself mindlessly scrolling through my phone during short waits, like standing in line at a coffee shop or waiting for a friend. Ever since I started bringing a compact book like 'Maybe Not' by Colleen Hoover, those moments have become something I look forward to. This novella fits perfectly in my purse without adding any bulk, and its engaging storyline about two roommates evolving from enemies to lovers keeps me hooked wherever I am. It’s the ideal length for brief reading bursts, making it practical for busy days when a full-length novel feels overwhelming. Choosing a purse book also encourages reducing screen time, which can be refreshing for your eyes and mind. Plus, reading a physical book in a cozy environment like a coffee shop enhances the overall experience. If you’ve never tried carrying a book with you, I highly recommend starting with a novella like 'Maybe Not.' It’s a delightful way to make everyday waiting times more meaningful and enjoyable.

Not a purse book, but a car book. I spent years taking my mom to appointments, so I always left a book 📕 in the car. Now it’s just a habit.

No I don’t have a purse book because I don’t carry a purse.
