Look around, look around, how lucky we are to be alive right now… ♪♫♬
Is anyone else having the most amazing reading year?!? I am loving so much of what I’m picking up these days. What a wonderful feeling! And today is no exception. There are so many new books out today that I enjoyed, I decided to go with another big list. Because ALL THE BOOKS, 24-7!

My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me:
- I’m in a coma.
- My husband doesn’t love me anymore.
- Sometimes I lie.
Speaking of new books, on All the Books! this week, Rebecca and I discussed several great books, including Not My White Savior, Anatomy of a Miracle, and Let Me Lie.
(And like last time, I’m putting a next to the books that I have read and loved. There are soooo many more on this list that I can’t wait to read!)

That’s it for me today! I have to get back to reading now. 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,
