BEST BOOK DAY EVER: Today’s line up of new releases is an embarrassment of riches! In the last several months, I have read over thirty of the titles that are coming out today, and I loved almost all of them. IT’S AN INSANELY GOOD RELEASE DAY. There is something here for everyone! And you can hear about several of these books on this week’s episode of the All the Books! Rebecca and I talked about a few amazing books we loved, such as Exit West, All Grown Up, and The Hearts of Men.

SO MANY GOOD BOOKS. I can hear your TBR screaming from here. 🙂
That’s it for me today – time to get back to reading! If you want to learn more about books new and old (and see lots of pictures of my cats, Millay and Steinbeck), or tell me about books you’re reading, or books you think I should read (I HEART RECOMMENDATIONS!), you can find me on Twitter at MissLiberty, on Instagram at FranzenComesAlive, or Litsy under ‘Liberty’!
Stay rad,
