Hi there friends!
The Mama Elephant May release is here – and it’s calling all book-lovers! Do you like to read? I LOVE to read! As I write this blog, I’ve already gotten 73 books read/listened to this year! I love audiobooks because it allows me to multi-task, but I also love reading books for some downtime right before bed or while I run on the treadmill.

Love all of these – I am a HUGE proponent of reading and try to read one novel every 10 days. I don’t always succeed, but I try. A lot of the time, I do succeed. Anything that is as cute as ME critters plus has a reading theme? I’m all in!

I love reading! Mostly audiobooks, but if that’s the only way to “read,” I’ll take it! I’m on my 78th book this year!

Wow! We listened to a few of those on a long trip (road trip) driving to TX and back from PA years ago.

What a sweet set of projects you’ve created, Caly! Beautiful and definitely inspiring – both for crafting and reading. I LOVE to read and, thanks to the recommendations my 13-year-old niece, who is an avid reader, I’ve made some wonderful discoveries this year in the realmof Young Adult novels. Some are really, really good! I’m hoping a local retailer will bring in this story/reading themed collection; I want to make my niece and her friends, who are also readers, bookmarks and cards. LOTS of bookmarks and cards!
Thank you for the awesome showcases!

PS. I quite enjoyed the Truly Devious series as a YA choice. I’m a fan of mystery novels (not creepy thrillers, though).

Thanks for the recommendations, Carol! If you like mystery, I think Jennifer Hillier is a good author to look into!
