Me Before You

I love to read, and devouring books has always been a passion of mine, something I think my parents instilled in me at a young age. I was extremely shy growing, but with books, my shyness didn't matter. I would spend hours in the different worlds my favorite authors created... walking the halls of Sweet Valley High with Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield; tagging along as the girls in The Babysitter's Club looked after their charges; delving into the scary imagination of Christopher Pike.

Today, I don't have much free time to read, but I am still extremely loyal to contemporary authors like Emily Giffin, Harriet Evans, Liane Morairy, and -- more recently -- JoJo Moyes. I have read several of her books now, and I just love them. The characters are so vivid and real, and the stories just pull you in. If you haven't read a book by JoJo Moyes, I highly recommend you start today!

Tonight, I'll be going to the movies with my Book Club to see the adaptation of one of my favorite books from the last few years: Me Before You, by JoJo Moyes. I'm so excited, even though I already know how it ends. (Yes, it's tear-worthy.) I love that it's Monday and I'll be going to a movie! It will be popcorn and Junior Mints for dinner. Ha!

I chose today's dress because I needed something comfortable to wear. (I'll be seeing the movie right after work.) This cute fit and flare dress from BCBGMaxAzria is not only comfortable, but is super chic, too... and I got it for a steal.
