Welcome to Family With Books!

Here you will find book reviews for all age groups and genres! My name is Kourtney, and I hope you join me as we talk about books, from bestsellers to the hardly-sold, from yet-to-be released to the classics, and from picture books to young adult and beyond.

Reading has always been an activity both my husband and I have loved from a young age. Now with a son and daughter of our own, we are enjoying the books we read as kids all over again! Reading together as a family is something we try to do every night. Our little family with books was born!

Previously we posted our top 5 favorite books, as a way to get to know us. Now? Let’s take a look at our favorite book we read in 2020!

• Me (Mom): I got lucky, and quite a few of my 2020 reads were 5 stars! It’s tough to choose just one, but if I had to, I would say Beach Read would be my pick!

• My husband (Dad): “I read parts of 3 different books. Does that count?” I noticed he has fallen away from reading and watches more TV now. Whatever gets us through the year, we’ll take it!
• My daughter (5 yo): While hiding away at home, she took a Zoom gymnastics class. Her skills are excelling for floor and beam, so this book was read a LOT this year.

• My son (2 yo): Immediately, he yelled out “THOMAS!” I thought he was just shouting at the TV, as he was watching Thomas the Tank Engine, but he then says “No! Good book! Thomas!” So Thomas it is!

And that is our little Family With Books!
