My Current Reading List

 


Lately I have been trying to get better about reading. Working from home means that my days are full of screen time and I have been trying to get a hobby other than "watch Gilmore Girls episodes on repeat". I recently discovered a second hand online bookstore called Second Sale that sells books for as cheap as $3. I bought four books from there that are on my current reading list, but let me know what books you recommend in the comments so I can buy more!

The Beautiful and Damned - F. Scott Fitzgerald  

This is one of my all-time favorite books, but I left my copy at my parents' home and haven't read it recently. It's a classic, it is long, it's a book about a couple that is so complex and nuanced. 


On the Road - Jack Kerouac

Another classic that I adore. I wanted to re-read this for the adventurer in me. I think it'll be nice to read about a careless nomad traveling across the country seeing as I have been unable to travel for months. 


Desperate Characters - Paula Fox

I've never read this book, but I've heard great things. It's a short novel about a couple in a loveless marriage navigating life. 


The Goldfinch - Donna Tartt

A pulitzer prize-winning book that was made into a movie a couple years back. It is a large book. So much thicker than I had thought it would be when I ordered it. But this book also comes highly recommended, and the movie was fabulous so I think I'll enjoy it. 


Let me know you're book recommendations below and check out second sale if you're in need of new books and don't want to go to the library during a pandemic (not sponsored, just a huge fan!)
