These are a few of my Favorite Things

This is a feature I have wanted to start for a while now. I don’t know how often I will do it, or how many individual posts I will feature in each, but I think it has the potential to become one of my favorite things I do on here. I follow over 100 blogs at the moment- the majority of which are book-related. One of my favorite things about book blogging has honestly been reading everyone else’s content! I have even started a folder of posts I liked so much I printed out and want to have for a long time. I was thinking the other day, as I added another blogger’s content to my folder, that I wanted to share these particular posts with all my friends as well! Why keep them to myself? And so Favorite Things was born. Enjoy!
