I’ve always loved reading, and while I don’t have as much time for it now as I used to, I love sharing good finds in case you are looking for a good book! Some of these are what I would call “beach reads” and others are a bit heavier. The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah A young teenager moves to Alaska with her family to start a new life. It's heavier than a beach read, but it's well worth the read. I've never been to Alaska, but the descriptions of natural beauty and …
