Hi everyone! I've got a couple of books to share with y'all today, so let's dive right in!

MMGM and #IMWAYR: Crunch by Kayla Miller

In short, this is your chance to spend a weekend like you're inside a book—and who doesn't want that? About the challenge: For a few years, I've thought about hosting a reading challenge like many other bloggers do, but I honestly felt like no one needs another reading challenge to tend to. But I still wanted to find a way to bring the blogging community together as part of a fun activity. Then a few random pieces of inspiration came together (including this article I saw that is basically my challenge for Taylor Swift rather than a book)...and I devised the #LiveLikeABookChallenge! What do I do for this challenge? Glad you asked! Basically
