Happy Sunday! I’m back today with “Sundays in Bed With….” a meme that dares to ask what book has been in your bed this morning. Come share what book you’ve spent time curled up reading in bed, or which book you wish you had time to read today! This meme was originally hosted by Midnight Book Girl.
Today, I’m in bed with two different fantasies – Where the Library Hides & Carving Shadows into Gold. The first im buddy reading with Leslie from Books Are the New Black, and I’m only 8 chapters in, but I’m loving it! And I’m about halfway through Carving Shadows Into Gold, and it’s as immersive as the first book in the series.
