Friends, I am not a traveler. I’m the type of person that stresses out about a vacation. As much as the vacation itself is fun, all the preparation that comes with it is just so stressful, not to mention the aftermath of unpacking and sorting everything once you get home. Plus, I’m a HUGE homebody, so anytime I go on vacation, I can’t help but think of all the fun things I could be doing around my house. I’ve decided this is something I want to change though. This year, I want to actually make traveling a priority. 

Because I’m such a homebody, I haven’t been to many places, but I have a list of places I want to travel to and I thought it would be fun to share those places with y’all today. 🙂
Charleston, South Carolina
When I think of Charleston, I think of Rainbow Row.  How gorgeous are these brightly colored houses? I think it would be the perfect place to visit in the springtime. 
Chicago, Illinois
Chicago is one of those places that I want to visit in the fall or winter. I know next to nothing about this place, but for some reason it’s always been one of those cities I’d like to visit. I just imagine they have all these neat stores and coffee shops mixed in with some fabulous shopping!
The Hamptons
If I could live anywhere in the world, it would be in some part of the Hamptons. Montauk, South Hampton, Sag Harbor. I’d love to visit any of the towns that make up The Hamptons. Remember the few episodes of Gossip Girl that were filmed there? Ah! Weren’t they all just gorgeous??  Summer is my favorite and I think experiencing the Hamptons during the sunny, warm months would be just heavenly!
New York City
Touristy, I know! But, NYC is somewhere I definitely want to visit during the winter months. I would LOVE to visit the Upper East Side, the public library, Central Park, the Plaza Hotel, and Serendipity. Seeing a broadway show is an absolute must, because y’all know I LOVE musicals! Oddly enough, I have no desire to see the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, or any other well known landmarks. Go figure!
Hawaii
For a long time, Hawaii was my number one most desired place to visit in the world. A friend and I were even planning a trip right after college. Then as I was planning, I realized the flight was 5 hours over water. And I’m terrified of water. When you look at a map, it looks like Hawaii is right off the coast of California, but nope! I don’t know if I’ll ever work up enough nerve to travel to this place, but it sure is on my list! 
So I may not have any definite travel plans just yet, but I do have some super cute travel accessories to use when I do! I am loving this Jon Hart Designs tote. It’s called the “Left Bank” and I have it in the color “Rose”, which is actually a new color that the company just launched this month! The color on the site doesn’t do it justice. It’s a gorgeous light pink that is so eye catching and feminine! 
As you can see, you can even get your bag monogrammed for a classic look. If you’ve never looked at all the bags Jon Hart Designs carry, you have to check it out! They carry everything from bigger luggage pieces to small cosmetic bags. All the pieces come in a variety of colors and styles. I cannot wait to actually use mine to travel! 🙂
So, now that you’ve read where I want to go, I’d love to hear from you! Where do you want to travel in 2018? Have you ever been to any of my travel place wish list? Or are you a homebody like me that never goes anywhere! 
Thank you to Jon Hart for sponsoring today’s post!

Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become a kindle girlie during the winter months, but I have no clue why. I usually always prefer a physical book, but here lately I’m glued to my kindle. I remember this happened to me last winter, too. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m flying through my TBR though, so let’s call it a win!

Yall, I’ve been so bad about posting my monthly wrap ups 🤦🏼‍♀️ That’s definitely a goal for the new year because I miss them so much!

Anyways, here’s what I read in November. It’s been a weird reading year for me, so it’s kinda all over the place. A couple of 5 ⭐️’s, but also some definite duds lol

Have y’all read any of these? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ball Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ballard’s newest rom com, All I Want is You! I love this author, so I’m excited for this one. 🩷📖🎄

Synopsis:
All Jessica has ever wanted is her own happily ever after. But until that happens, she spends her days as a small-time romance writer, penning satisfying Happily Ever Afters to soothe the heartache left by her ex-boyfriend Nick—also a romance writer and now her biggest rival—who has found success writing love stories without happy endings. It’s what he’s good at, after all . . .

So when their professional obligations bring them to a remote inn a few days before Christmas, they’re a little more than peeved, especially when they get trapped sharing a room in a snowstorm. But what’s more fitting for two romantic writers in a slump? Realizing the friction between them might be the only cure for their writer’s block, they decide to turn their frustration into fiction . . . and the pages start flying. But will Jess’s heart soar, too? Nick is the last guy on earth she should love . . . but what if he is really all she wants for Christmas?
What I read this week 🩷📖 It took me all wee What I read this week 🩷📖

It took me all week to read The Favorites by Layne Fargo, which usually means I’m not loving a book, but I’m thrilled that’s not the case with this book! It was just a super busy week for me so I didn’t read as much every day as I wanted, but I absolutely LOVED this book! It releases January 14, so mark your calendars now! I don’t even love figure skating/ ice dancing (honestly I’ve never even heard of this) and I still was obsessed with this book. Highly highly recommend!

Thanks for my early review copy, @atrandombooks

Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. do Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. down. 1000% obsessed. It releases in January, so put it on your TBRs NOW! Oh my goodness I’m loving this book!

Synopsis:

She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating—and each other—to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.

Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.

As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story” through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines
