For so many people, reading isn’t just a hobby or a way to pass the time–it’s a lifestyle. Our books shape us, define us, enchant us, and even sometimes infuriate us. Our books are a part of who we are as people, and we can’t imagine life without them.

MY THOUGHTS:
I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
I loved this book. I read it in one night all cozied up in a chair. With a warm tea in hand, I found myself nodding, smiling and I even laughed out loud at the similarities I found in this book to how I think about reading books.
There is so much to gain from reading this book even if it’s to give your dedication to endless hours of reading some form of validation. For lots of shared insights and love of books by the someone else, I would highly recommend you pick this one up, grab a tea and cozy blanket and snuggle down for a lovely read.
