Spring Reading

Am I premature in calling February 21 spring? It's supposed to be 78 and sunny today, and spring is officially only 26 days away. Let's call it pre-spring reading, at least? 

We head to the beach for our baby moon soon and I'm hoping to plow through a book or two while we're there. As always, I'm taking suggestions!

1. The Nightingale 

I just finished The Nightingale and it is definitely now in my top 10 favorite books. It's incredible - so rattling and impossible to put down. I flew through it until the end, when I held on to the last 20 pages just because I didn't want to be finished with it. I highly recommend it! You'll fall in love with both heroines. I found myself going back and forth on which of them I connected with more and wondered throughout if I could have been as brave as they were.

2. Beneath a Scarlet Sky 

While I'm on a WWII kick, next on my list is Beneath a Scarlet Sky. Chris is finishing it up now and we're going to trade for the beach. I've heard great things! 

3. & 4. Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child & Bringing up Bébé

I'm also planning to read both Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child and Bringing Up Bébé, which, from what I understand have wildly different messages. It will be interesting to see which I connect with more!

5. A Rainbow Rowell book

Annnnd just because they make me so happy, I want to read another Rainbow Rowell book. Any Eleanor & Park fans out there who have another RR favorite? 

So many of you suggested The Nightingale to me and it was such a good one. Thanks for the rec. Keep them coming! (:
