I’ve always been an avid reader and with this stay at home order there’s nothing I love more than lighting a fire in the fireplace (on the cooler days), having the pups on the couch next to me, getting cozy with some pillows and snacks (of course), and a good book.
Since I’m always looking for something great to read, I asked some of my favorite influencers to share some books they love and here’s what they had to say.
Caitlin of Public Lives, Secret Recipes had a few favorites but her “favorite ever” is Mick Hart Was Here by Barbara Park. Her more recent favorites include: The Nightingale and The Great Alone both by Kristin Hannah; Verity by Colleen Hoover; and The Woman in the Window by A. J. Finn.
Justine of @stylishly.chic immediately said The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks was her favorite book. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is another book she loves.
Samantha of Samantha Brown Style said “It’s really difficult to only pick one” and I so agree! Just Kids by Patti Smith is a favorite of hers. Other favorites include: You Are What You Wear by Jennifer Baumgartner; The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak; and The Asylum by Simon Doonan.
Stella of The Heart’s Delight says she usually goes for light, uplifting reads, but her taste in books can vary. Her favorites include: Circe by Madeline Miller; So Here’s the Thing by Alyssa Mastromonaco; and The Banker’s Wife by Christina Alger.
I’ve read some of these, but there are a number that are new to me. My TBR (to be read) list is getting so long, which is a good thing! It’s funny, even when my kids were little and you know how kids always ask to buy something, well books were one thing I never said no to and still don’t.
