Switching between these four awesome books this weekend: Tar Baby by Toni Morrison for #ReadSoulLit, a buddy read of Go Tell It On the Mountain by James Baldwin, Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi for my offline book club, and Animal Intelligence by Virginia Morell. #reading #books #bookstagram #booklover #booklover #bookaddict

“What are they thinking?” I’m about 100 pages into this one and I’m already learning so much about various animals (so far she’s talked about ants, fish, and birds). Very well researched and readable—I’m thinking this will become a new favorite. The title is cut off because of the library sticker, but this is Animal Wise by Virginia Morell. #books #bookstagram #bookaddict #bookaholic #booklover #book #bookish #science #biology #igreads #reading #bookworm #currentlyreading #animals #nonfiction

The War of the End of the World is just one of those books that begs to be annotated. I’m savoring it bit by bit, scribbling in the margins, taking notes and immersing myself in the story. #books #bookstagram #reading #booklover #bookworm #bookaddict #nowreading #modernclassics #igreads #book

Buddy reading one of my all-time favorite novels, One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, with Hilary, Kristyn, and Amanda this month. Only three chapters in and enjoying it just as much as the first time I read it 🌺 #bookstagram #books #bookworm #bookaddict #booklover #igreads #book #magicalrealism #literature #modernclassics #nowreading #reading

Doing a little "light" reading with The Road by Cormac McCarthy before Hurricane Irma visits us in central FL. Started this yesterday and I'm hooked--already more than halfway through. #bookstagram #nowreading #reading #currentlyreading #literature #books #igreads #cormacmccarthy #bookworm

“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world, but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this, know that yes, it’s true, I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.” - Frida Kahlo

Love this illustrated book all about Frida and her beautiful artwork.
