"The History of Books & Libraries" by Kristen Barenthaler
Grab a copy here! Review on Goodreads here! This was my final essay for my Master's degree in Library and Information Sciences. It's factual, but short. And probably only really interesting to those of us who are nerdy enough to want to learn about books and libraries in our free time.

Whiskey in a Teacup by Reese Witherspoon ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing book with a true insight into the life of one of America's favorite actresses. Also, I want to try everything in this cookbook while also becoming Reese's best friend... just a thought.

Acadia National Park
I'll start by saying that, of course, my day of exploring Acadia National Park was rainy, muddy, and still somehow stunning! We didn't see much wildlife, just a few scampering squirrels and busy birds. But the wonderful scenery as we drove through the park (mostly in the hopes it would stop raining long enough for us to adventure out of the car) was well worth the drive.
