2019 Library Love Challenge

-
Image
It's no secret that I LOVE going to the library! Between my public library and the university library where I work, I visit the library AT LEAST once a week! I'm excited to participate in this challenge again this year. In 2018, 33 of my 105 books were from the library, which I'd actually like to increase in 2019. My goal for 2019 is the Overdrive Junkie level--36 books. I do read a lot of ARC's, which can account for a lot of the other books, but it's something I'd still like to increase.
Please join me in this challenge and support your local library! Getting a library card is FREE so it is super accessible! Plus, if you have a Kindle or love audiobooks, apps like OverDrive or Libby give you digital access to the library catalog as well. I'm super lucky to live in a town that has an awesome network of libraries!

About For Better and WorsePaperback: 336 Pages
Publisher: MIRA; Original edition (December 11, 2018)
On their first date back in law school, Natalie and Will Clarke bonded over drinks, dinner and whether they could get away with murder. Now married, they’ll put the latter to the test when an unchecked danger in their community places their son in jeopardy. Working as a criminal defense attorney, Nat refuses to rely on the broken legal system to keep her family safe. She knows that if you want justice…you have to get it yourself.
Shocked to discover Nat’s taken matters into her own hands, Will has no choice but to dirty his, also. His family is in way too deep to back down now. He’s just not sure he recognizes the woman he married. Nat’s always been fiercely protective, but never this ruthless or calculating. With the police poking holes in their airtight plan, what will be the first to fall apart: their scandalous secret—or their marriage?

Review: Nine Perfect Strangers

Title: Nine Perfect Strangers
Author: Liane Moriarty
453 pages, published November 6, 2018
Flatiron Books
Source: Book of the Month


From Goodreads:

Could ten days at a health resort really change you forever? In Liane Moriarty’s latest page-turner, nine perfect strangers are about to find out...

Nine people gather at a remote health resort. Some are here to lose weight, some are here to get a reboot on life, some are here for reasons they can’t even admit to themselves. Amidst all of the luxury and pampering, the mindfulness and meditation, they know these ten days might involve some real work. But none of them could imagine just how challenging the next ten days are going to be.

Frances Welty, the formerly best-selling romantic novelist, arrives at Tranquillum House nursing a bad back, a broken heart, and an exquisitely painful paper cut. She’s immediately intrigued by her fellow guests. Most of them don’t look to be in need of a health resort at all. But the person that intrigues her most i…

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. 
This Week's Topic:
Cozy/Wintry Reads
Let me be honest: I HATE winter. I hate being cold. I hate the dark. How do I survive winter? Blankets, coffee, and reading. Here are books I recommend getting cozy and reading this winter! They're either books that are set during winter, or longer books that take a little more time--perfect for winter when you're staying in!

What books do you like to cozy up with in the winter? Happy Reading!
