Welcome!

WELCOME to the Small Book Blog! I am a voracious reader. I love losing myself in books and cannot wait to read myself into my next adventure. It is because of this love for books that I created this blog. I want to share my passion of books with you! I hope you enjoy my recommendations and reviews. My goal is that they will lead you to a new book, series or author, that you can fall in love with and recommend to others as well.

Summer Reading Locations!

 Hello dear readers! 

This summer is just flying by and I am trying to keep up with balancing work and finding joy for my family. I want them to feel like they have a summer. It's hard as working parents to figure that out. In between that have been some joyful pockets of reading time! I always think, summer, I must read outside. My porch is a lovely oasis for reading and not baking while doing so. As a goal for this summer, I wanted to try and read around bodies of water- get out into the world! So far, the list is not specific but: river, lake, pool, ocean, bath. It's been too hot for a bath. However, I have been blessed and managed to get some reading at a local lake (while paddle boarding, my book only got a little wet from the dog going on and off the SUP), a pool (who knew quick dips in the pool and then back to reading zone could be so refreshing), and the ocean. The ocean is where my soul resets itself, and I try to visit any beach at least twice a year. So, if anyone wants inspiration, quick day dreaming, whatever- here are my memories of reading by water this summer, so far... Happy reading and happy summer friends!
