  • What I’m Reading Wednesdays

    This Wednesday has got me shook. I don’t know what happened, but I’m suddenly in the middle of three books.

  • Share Kindness. Spread Love. Read Books.

    I feel like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. I feel like I’ve stumbled across my final transformation into the person I’m supposed to be. I’m upgrading. When I first started Simone and Her Books, the intention was to write about books and talk about them. It was for my goldfish brain to dump every…

  • A Few Books to Get You Started Reading Diversely

    Reading diverse novels is such a rewarding way to get to know other people’s culture without opening a textbook. However, it can be a pretty daunting genre if you don’t know how to get into it. Luckily, there’s a ton of Young Adult novels centered around diverse issues. In my opinion, I think these help…

  • Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli

    I had the crazy opportunity to watch Love, Simon a few weeks ago on a plane trip across the country. The movie didn’t disappoint, but I hadn’t read the book. I felt like I should read the book as well and that’s exactly what I did. LOL.

  • What to Read During the Pre-Fall Season

    Welcome to Pre-Fall, everyone! It’s that time of the year where it’s still pretty hot outside, but you get that sudden burst of cool chill coming at you. You fantasize about wearing sweaters and switching from iced coffee to hot coffee. The trees all still have super green leaves on the branches, but perhaps you…

  • The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah

    This is the second novel I’ve read by Kristin Hannah and I’ll admit I’m a bonafide fan. This book probably solidified that but I think I knew from the moment I finished The Nightingale. She does not disappoint.

  • Life Update: The Missing Book Blogger

    Hello everyone! I’m sorry for the absence these past couple of weeks. TBH, it feels like I’ve been absent in more ways than one the whole summer. There’s been so much going on in the real world that the Internet world needed a step back. All that being said, I’m finally back to the swing…

  • Hello, Sunshine by Laura Dave

    I’ve been having a pretty difficult slump lately, so I’m glad to finally finish one book! I’m already happy that September’s got me reading again.

  • My Most Anticipated Reads of September 2018

    New month and new reads! I hope it includes some of these titles because I’ve been waiting for what seems like forever for these to be published. I’m most definitely excited for Whiskey in a Cup by Reese Witherspoon. Like everyone else, I’m a huge fan of Reese and probably seen every movie she’s ever…

  • August 2018 Bookish Wrap Up

    And like that, August is over. I always associate August with the end of summer. This is probably the case for many people because September is back-to-school and we’re all hardwired to think that going back to school is the end of summer. While I wish I had a bigger bang to my end-of-summer, I’m…
