New Blog Series!!! My Favorite Things- Books

I've been wracking my brain lately for a way to update this blog more often. I used to update it when we did something photo-worthy, such as a vacation, holiday, or trip to the zoo. Since school started, however, we really haven't done anything I consider blog-worthy! So, I came up with an idea to do a new blog series called "My Favorite Things", inspired by the song from the Sound of Music. I created a new button for this blog series[at the beginning of this post] that I will post at the beginning of each new post.

One of our family's favorite things is books. Everyone in our family loves to read any and all types of books. I interviewed each family member [and Emily interviewed me] about the book they're currently reading.
