If you’ve been following me for a while, you will know that my daughter LOVES to read.
She showed a love of reading from a very young age and now that she is 12, she’s churning through books faster than I am.
As she’s gotten older, I’ve found it increasingly harder to find great books for tweens that are age appropriate. There seems to be a fine line between being suitable for 10-12 year olds and then suitable for teens (15+).
…
I’ve got a pile of books next to my bed that never seems to get any smaller AND a list of books a mile long on Goodreads that I’ve been meaning to read for a long time. I figure that if I make a commitment here to read some of these books, then I will do it. So, here are 10 books I cannot wait to read in 2020.
I’m hoping some of these books will count towards my 2020 Reading Challenge that I published last month. PS. It’s not too late to join the challenge, so check it out.
…If you’re looking for a new bag that you can wear everywhere this year, you can’t go wrong with a crossbody bag.
As someone who usually carries around a bag that is big enough to fit the kitchen sink (or so my husband thinks), I’ve fallen in love with the style and practicality of carrying a bag that ONLY fits the essentials (purse, phone, keys, lip gloss(es)) AND looks good.
I’ve scoured the internet and uncovered the my Top 10 crossbody bags for the year.
Good luck on choosing just one!
