items I love reading. I love when I have moments throughout the day to lose myself in a good book. Here are the books that I've read and loved and some that I didn't necessarily love but you just might. I love a good fast paced book and the slow burn series. My favorite series this year was Throne of Glass (TOG) by Sarah J Maas and my favorite book this year is Kingdom of Ash, from the TOG series. If you pick up any of these books, let me know what you think.
