Because of quarantine, I’ve had so much more time to read lately and I’m loving it! If you knew me when I was a kid, you knew I could always be found with my nose in a book. I took one with me everywhere I went and was truly obsessed. That love for reading didn’t just disappear as I got older, I just got so busy. Now that I’ve been reading more, it sparked an interest in what other people would call their favorite book of all time. I realize that this is a seemingly impossible question, but I’ve compiled a list of what y’all have said! I did something similar with songs before and if you’re interested you can read that post here! In no particular order, here’s the compiled list…
