What I’m reading: Vol. 50.

Nightstand: The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber. Still workin’ on this one. I like to read it and then put it down for a while. It’s not at all the relationship I normal have with books, but I’m enjoying it.

Coffee table: H Is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald. I’m only about a third of the way into this, but I really like it.

In a blanket nest with some tea: Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon. This book is so good!! I read a library copy and I already want to buy it so I can read it again. Highly recommended.
