June Literary Junkies

I didn't participate last month, but I'm back and hoping to get back into blogging since I've been in a slump lately. 

1. What are you reading? Tell us about it!
I'm currently reading 2 books.

The first one is Goodbye for Now by Laurie Frankel. It's about a man who is a software engineer who creates a computer simulation of people who have passed away as a way for their loved ones to get through their grief. Of course, things don't go as perfectly as planned. I haven't gotten too far into this one yet. It's starting off kind of slow.

I'm also reading Savannah Folklore by Nicole Carlson Easley. I recently went on a vacation to Tybee Island (outside Savannah) and picked up this book. I really enjoy buying ghost story book when I go to these historical cities. This is the first one I'm actually sitting down and reading. I've only read stories out of the other ones that I have, but never the whole thing.

2. Library or bookstore?
 Library- hands down. I like to own books that I really love, but I'm not the type of person who has books shelves full of books. If I had a huge house with my own library-sure-why not? But when you live in an apartment and move a lot, books are not something you want to have a lot of. Plus the library lets you borrow them for FREE and I love free! I don't visit book stores that often because I don't usually buy books.

3. What book(s) have you read and re-read several times?
Harry Potter always has to make an appearance as an answer to one of my Literary Junkies questions. I used to reread the series once a year, but it's been several years now since I've read it. I just can't find the time to with so many new books I want to read and different book challenges that I'm participating in. 

4. What is the first book that made you fall in love with reading?
I have loved to read for as long as I can remember. I think it was more a person than a book that made me fall in love with reading. My mom loves reading and set that example for me from a young age. We always had books in our house that our parents read to us. My mom took us to the library regularly and bought us books. Reading was just a normal part of life in my house growing up. 

5. Who's your favorite author? Tell us so we can binge-read!
I'm not really one who cares as much about the author as I do the book, but I'll name some authors that I've read several books from and enjoyed. I always read Nicholas Sparks' books when they come out. I also enjoy Jodi Picoult, John Grisham, Emily Giffin, and Mary Higgins Clark.

Have you read anything good lately?
