We asked, you answered!
We are all a little guilty of wanting to read more but always finding an excuse to do otherwise. As one of you pointed out, now is the time to "pour over all the beautiful coffee table books" we have for decoration. It seems we're all needing something to pass the time, especially if we are going to be stuck inside. So here are some of your recommendations (or keep scrolling to see what you recommended to us a few weeks ago for our first ever Colsie Book Club)!
