Repeat Reads

0 Comments

I recently was offered the opportunity join 19 other ladies in reviewing themed books monthly. Our theme this month was repeat reads. It was difficult for me to narrow those down. There are so many I love. In the end, it didn’t matter because the other books chosen were all fabulous choices. Below is the compilation post done by Clarissa from booknerdmommy.com. She has an amazing blog, so if you have a moment I would highly recommend checking it out.


Booknerdmommy guest postI love sharing books  here and on my social media accounts.  Like, a ton.  There is such a fun book-loving community out there and I am always thrilled to engage with other book nerds.  Recently, 20 of us bookstagrammers over on Instagram connected to create a book club called Kidlit Picks.  Each month we share books with a different theme under the hashtag #kidlitpicks.  It is a really fun time and a great way to get book inspiration for library visits and different topics you want to address with your littles.  Anyone can share books under the hashtag that go with the theme and the @kidlitpicks account features different books shared throughout the month.  Join us if you’re on Instaram! We’d love to share books with you!

This months theme was “Repeat reads” these are 20 of the books shared by the 20 lovely ladies (me included of course!) that are behind Kidlit Picks.  Check them out!
