Follower Fridays




Q: Talk about the book that most changed or influenced your life (was it a book that turned you from an average to avid reader, did it help you deal with a particularly difficult situation, does it bring you comfort every time you read it?)

A: I honestly can't think of just one book that has really impacted me significantly. I like to read and get lost in different worlds for hours/days. In a way, every book impacts me in some way.  One of the first books that I can think of that I ended up really enjoying was Summer Sisters by Judy Blume. It was a simple storyline, but I loved the complexity of the friendship in that book and it's always had me coming back to it over the years.

  3. It was hard for me to pick just ONE book, too. I went with one I read for the first time when I was 13.

  10. I love getting lost in books and taking their meaning with me as well. I haven't read this particular book, but I'm sure it's as great as all the books Jude Blume wrote!
