Saw a post on one of the pages I follow on Facebook that I thought seemed kind of fun. If you're bored, post a picture of your bookshelf and talk about each of the books that are on there. If you are in self quarantine and find yourself incredibly bored with nothing else to do feel free to comment. It will give you something to do for a little bit. If your bookshelf is to big, take a photo of one shelf or grab a few books that you love and comment about those! I'll put a 📚 to indicate that the book is on my tbr pile.
*Note it doesn't have to be books. If you have a shelf of movies or CD's/Records, feel free to comment about those!
1. Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom
A memoir between Albom featuring lessons on life from his dying professor. Highly reccomend. It's one of those books that I can reread and learn something new every time.
2. The Five People you Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
A new look on what it means to die and how our vision of heaven isn't what one would expect. I try to reread this one every year because it's a good reminder that even the little things we do could effect not only the people we know, but complete strangers.
3. The Next Person you Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
A sequel to The Five People you Meet in Heaven and a great follow up!
4. Scythe by Neal Shusterman
A great young adult novel! It's about a futuristic society where due to medical advancements, people can live forever and even do things like make themselves look younger. However, there's a catch. The Scyths people who act as a kind of population control. The story follows two teens as they train to be scythes.
