I grew up on an island with a tiny library. So to help support my reading, my mom would always bring me to bookstores every time we made a trip to the mainland. When we had book sales at school, she always let me go a little nuts. And like I’ve said in previous posts, like My Reading Story, I used to have so many books that we created a small library!
When I had really bad insomnia for years, my mom bought me a great reading chair and always made sure we had the perfect reading snacks in the cabinets. On more than a handful of occasions, I remember my mom making a special trip to the mainland to grab me the next book in a particular series I had been reading.
Book Recommendations From My Mom
Thanks for reading!
Happy belated Mothers Day to all of you moms! 🙂 And a special shout out to my mom, Apryl. Thanks for always supporting my love of reading!

Aww, your mom sounds wonderful! It's great that you've been able to share your love of books with her.
She sure is! 🙂 Thanks for commenting!
I love your story! It's so great that your mom supports and shares your love of reading 🙂
Thank you so much! 🙂
Oh, yes. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a fantastic book. Your mom has great taste!
Here is my TTT.

Looks like some great recommendations! I want to read Miss Peregrine's and I've been wondering about the dragon Tattoo books too… and that's awesome that she supported your reading! My mom always got me gift cards for bookstores for my birthdays, so I usually consider her an enabler of my reading as well! 🙂
That's awesome!! Yay for great moms! 🙂
Aww I love your twist on this week's topic! Your mum sounds amazing 🙂

Thank you! 🙂
That's a great reading story you shared and great list 🙂 I need to read The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith. Enjoy your week.
Thank you! 🙂 I'd love to hear what you think about Cuckoo's Calling when you read it!
Your mom sounds amazing and I think it's wonderful that you've been able to bond over books. Miss Peregrine's is such an unusual book, but I enjoyed it very much as well.
😀
Miss Peregrines!!!! AWESOME!! The others sound really interesting too. Hope you get to enjoy them! My TTT 🙂
I LOVED 9/10 of them! Cuckoo's Calling was okay, but I think I need to reread it sometime. I didn't totally love it the first time around. Though I still think about the characters from time to time.
Looks like your mom has fantastic taste, wow!
🙂
Although my mom is the one who instilled my love of reading, she herself was not much of a reader. I could probably name the books my mom has read and they would not even reach a dozen; not counting ones that she read me or my brother. Funny though, well not really, but my brother HATES reading!!! So your lucky your mom likes to read and has some good taste in books. Loved Miss Perregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Also read Hollow City and need to read Library of Souls sometime this year.
Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
I adored The Rosie Project, so I'm glad your mum loved it too! I got my mum involved in my Top Ten Tuesday post this week: it was a lot of fun to collaborate with her 🙂
Such a great read! I need to re-read it soon 🙂
