    Girl I couldn’t get through Things we hide from the light. It was such a let down. But on the off chance you haven’t heard of it, The Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros is an absolute MUST. It was a 5 star read for me which is so rare these days. It was good literally from the first page to the last.

    Love your Vlogs as usual! Two books I HIGHLY recommend lately 1) if you like My Year of Rest and Relaxation you’d love The Guest by Emma Cline 2) The Whispers by Ashley Audrain a book about how a wealthy woman’s son falls from his window in the middle of the night, you are left wondering what happened and it goes through all perspectives of the mom, the best friend neighbor and the elderly woman neighbor who watches it all unfold.

    I can't believe, that your video is sponsored by a publishing house to promote a book. That's awesome. I'm so happy for you! When you talked about the Park Avenue Summer book, (which is a must on my TBR list now) it reminds me of a book by Elizabeth Gilbert City of Girls. A girl coming to New York, in 1940s, small local theatre. I just loved that story and I can recommend the audiobook, as I love the sound of Blair Brown's voice. Have you read it?
