What have you read recently?
Happy reading!
Until the next headline, Laura Beth 🙂
Wow! Your TBR list is as long as mine! Ha ha. Are you on Goodreads? I need to get back on track with my reading. Thanks for sharing!.
I am on Goodreads, but I’m so terrible at keeping it up to date! I’m much better with my list here, haha! I follow so many book blogs now, which is awesome, but that’s one reason my TBR keeps increasing!
I understand! My list keeps growing, too!
It’s a good problem to have, I think!
Absolutely!
Oh you still have to read Gone Girl? I hope you haven’t watched the movie yet then ;-). I love all three of Gillian Flynn’s books ! Happy reading Laura!
Nope! I try really hard to read the books before seeing the movie adaptations. I look forward to reading them!
