FINALLY fell out of my summer reading slump with book 9️⃣ of the year. This summer got away from me and here we are! 😅🤷🏼‍♀️ Really enjoyed this quick read from @bookofthemonth Great family drama that kept me engaged the whole read! #weROAR2 #summerbreak

I’ve hit a major reading slump this summer BUT this adorable 1.5 year old is keeping the reading streak alive in the Alis household 😂😂 This makes my ELA teacher/mama heart so happy! “Read” is a new word in his vocab #weROAR2 #summerbreak #summerreading

Book 8️⃣ and a HEARTBREAKING one at that 😭😭 I learned so much about the Dust Bowl and how a mother’s love will go to extra lengths to keep her children safe. I’m beginning to love this author! #weROAR2 @bookofthemonth #ELA #selfcare @D45Jackson

Book 7️⃣! I was so invested in this narrator! While I hated all of her decisions, I couldn’t help but worry for her. Classic red herring in this murder mystery & I fell for it! My heart was actually racing when reading this one #weROAR2 #selfcare @D45Jackson

Book 6️⃣ of 2021 and my March @bookofthemonth pick! I 😍❤️ this tale! Multi perspectives & the storyline collides the past with the present. I can’t get enough of characters who you love but should hate! The last 50 pages 😱😱#weROAR2 #selfcare #BookTwitter

Book 5 of 2021 is by far my favorite and the perfect book to get me out of my reading slump! The character development, charm, and humor alongside a theme of hope for a brighter future made my reader heart so happy! #weROAR2 #springbreakread @D45Jackson

Someone decided he wanted to get his steps in with us today...and he managed to say “hi” to every dog we saw walking 🤣😂 @D45Jackson #weROAR2 #selfcare #familywalk

Book 4 of 2021 and my first @bookofthemonth Seaside landscape murder mystery ✅ Yes, please! Such a great read with suspense that kept me intrigued until the very end! #weROAR2 #selfcare #bookish #bookofthemonth @D45Jackson

First walk of 2021. Taking advantage of this “warmer” weather! Update: it’s still pretty cold outside 😂🥶#staffwellness #weROAR2 #midwestlife

@JackJagsPrin @D45Jackson That entire bottle of water ended up all over that cutie and my floor not long after I took that pic 😂

Trying to focus on increasing my H2O intake for the staff February Wellness Challenge! Someone is cramping my style 😂 Apparently Mom’s water tastes better #weROAR2 #selfcare #wellnesschalleneg @D45Jackson

Book 3 of 2021 - A 1920’s Shanghai Romeo & Juliet retelling with a fantastical twist 👌🏻I love how the author almost made the setting it’s own character through her amazing description! Great read & highly recommend #BookWorm #weROAR2 #selfcare #JAJaguarsROAR

Just got the BEST package on this snowy Saturday 🤗 @bookofthemonth is a great way to try new books and get early releases! Best birthday present ever! Thanks, Mom & Dad 🥰 Now, I need to finish my current read to get to this one! #selfcare #JAJaguarsROAR

[Mrs. Alis @LA_MrsAlis]

Book ✌️of 2021! Can’t pass up a Criminal Minds-esque YA thriller! Quick, easy read that got me through the week. Only problem...this is book 1 of a 4 book series and of course I NEED to know what happens next. Amazon here I come. #selfcare #JAjaguarsROAR

[Mrs. Alis @LA_MrsAlis]

Book 1️⃣ of 2021 done! And I’m honestly not sure how I’m feeling about it. But, overall a good book to practice my personal #selfcare challenge 👉🏼read MORE for myself this year 🤗 #JAJaguarsROAR #bookstagram #booklovers
