Cottagecore reads for the Christian reader

“That is one good thing about this world...there are always sure to be more springs.” 

― L.M. Montgomery

Hello sweet friend! Welcome back to the blog!

Feel free to grab a notebook and write down ideas with me! This is just a fun little post that hopefully makes you smile and have some book recommendations for spring! Let me know if you have any favorite books to read in the spring! I’d love to hear from you! 

So grab a cup of coffee or tea and let’s dove into this topic! 

Reading In The Spring 

“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.” 

― Jane Austen

Reading is a must for all seasons but it is fun to have some spring themed books to read as well! I love having some spring filled books! Sometimes they don’t even have to be set in spring but something about the book’s feeling makes you imagine spring!
