Devouring A Book

Books, Book Recommendations, Book Lists and Book Joy!

ABOUT

Hi, I’m Megan!

Welcome to Devouring a Book. I am so glad you are here. Reading has been my favorite outlet since I can remember. Growing up, I was never without a book or something to read. I would read the cereal boxes, shampoo bottles, “funny pages”, magazines, anything that had words – I would devour it (hence the name of this blog). I read Nancy Drew books, Lurlene McDaniel novels, Harry Potter and more.

In High School I didn’t mind reading the assigned books but I still would find myself checking out “pleasure reads” at the local library to read in my down time – if that ever happened. I was the editor-in-chief of our school’s literary magazine, was the president of Spanish Club, did studio dance and always had a job. Finding time to read, and keep a social life was always tough but somehow I don’t think I missed out on either.

Fast forwarding through the blurry college years brings us to my current reading life. I am a working mom of 2. I just finished my MBA and was finding myself with more free time than I have ever been used to having. I occasionally binge television shows with my husband, but the majority of my non working/cleaning/momming time is spent reading. I am part of a local book club, love meeting new friends on bookstagram, go book thrifting like it’s my job and am on the Board of Directors for our local library’s non-profit, non-partisan organization that works to improve and promote public library services.

My goal of this site is to provide you with my honest book reviews, lists (who doesn’t love lists?), and other content I think book friends would enjoy.

Thanks for being here – let’s get to reading!

Hi friends, I'm Megan! I am happiest with my nose in a book, love recommending great reads and am addicted to finding my next favorite book. My puns are always intended.

I get to wake up and see some of my beautiful book I get to wake up and see some of my beautiful books every morning ☺️. My other shelf is in my office but it’s neat having my books spread all over my home.
When I travel for work I love to look at what ever When I travel for work I love to look at what everyone else is reading. I’m currently reading The Perfect Marriage and a guy on the ✈️ I was on asked me if it was non fiction or fiction. I told him it’s fiction but it wouldn’t surprise me if this same plot was non fiction somewhere in the world. His answer was.. “i doubt it - there is no such thing as a perfect marriage”. 😆😆 cracked me up!

Talking about books with strangers is one of my favorite things - what about you?!
I am looking for books that touched your soul or q I am looking for books that touched your soul or quotes from books that you will never forget!! Comment below with your ideas and I will be putting together art that encompasses those suggestions! 

Thank you 😊 🫶🏻
Happy Valentine’s Day! Shout out to @kirstenpu Happy Valentine’s Day! 

Shout out to @kirstenpursell and @emilybookedup as I was their giveaway winner and received a signed copy of Long Enough to Love You along with a bookmark and pen. I read this book in 2 days - or should I say poured through this book! Kirsten put her heart and soul into this very relatable novel for anyone who is or has been married. Marriage takes work and if you don’t put in the work for years and years, can you come back from that and rebuild? Long Enough to Love You explored difficult topics of cheating, divorce, self-worth and more. This is not a book to take lightly - but to learn from and think about long after like I am doing today. 

I gave this book 5 stars - It was difficult to put down, made so much sense, provided moments of clarity for me, connected with my life in a way many books don’t and also the author is just a big ball of incredible energy!!! I loved getting to talk to her throughout reading ❤️ 

Cheers and have a wonderful love day!
I work from home full-time and have to make my off I work from home full-time and have to make my office a place for coziness and focus. I can’t wait to collect art for my big wall above my desk but that is going to take time. My first priority is comfort and feeling joy in this space. Working is not always the most fun (my job is tough) but having a beautiful space to feel proud of helps a lot ❤️💕

🖤2023 Meet the Bookstagrammer🖤 Goodness! I 🖤2023 Meet the Bookstagrammer🖤

Goodness! I love getting to know my bookish friends and am hopeful this post will allow me to meet even more! Before I continue - if you could please 🙏🏻 tag your bookish besties in the comments I’d love to follow them! 🥰

Now… some tidbits about this ink drinker 
☕️the scent of my childhood is black coffee - my dad was never seen without a cup o’ joe. I will always be comforted by the energy bean! 

✌🏻I am in awe by people who have the most calm demeanor. I aspire to live in a state of relaxation and kick the anxious flutters to the curb. If you have any good tricks on how to stay mellow and live by the phrase “que sera, sera” please dm me 😆

🫶🏻I am a massive Dave Matthews Band fan. It’s part of my personality. It’s part of who I am. Always looking for fellow dmb family members… if you’re also a reader? Sheesh 😍

👵🏼My career is focused on improving the lives of seniors in senior living - that’s my main motivation for why I do what I do. 

🙋🏻‍♀️I’m a very outgoing person. I’ll talk to just about anyone. And I like it that way. 

💃I was a dancer for my entire youth - age 3-18 I was at the dance studio more than my home in any given night of the week. I miss it but my daughter is now in dance so I’m getting some of that joy back through watching her love to dance! 

🎻I am a violinist. Well… I haven’t performed in years but I am the biggest advocate for children learning an instrument. Using that side of the brain helps with so many things and is also very rewarding. 

💕I love my kids. A given? I still like saying it

Alright… there you have it. There is so much more to know and I hope this year brings so many fun bookish moments to the forefront. It’s a year of positivity and beauty for me so getting to be here on this platform with some fabulous bookish friends is aiding in that theme! Cheers to all ☀️🍻🫶🏻
