I love this tee, which features a girl carrying a stack of books and the word ‘lire’ in script, which means to read in French. She reminds me of myself as a little girl, when I devoured every book I was given. I made my mom take me to the library several times a week and I would always walk to the checkout counter with a stack of books that was almost bigger than I was. My mom dreaded taking me to bookstores because she wouldn’t be able to tear me away for at least an hour. The very first time I wore this shirt and put it in the wash it got stained by something red I own, totally my fault, but I sort of love the pink tie-dye pattern it created and I still wear it. Did you guys love or hate reading as a child?

![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!

It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

I loved reading as a child, so much so that I would read a book while walking to the corner store (it was a small town so no danger of getting hit by a car or at least I didn't realize the danger, lol!) I love your polka dot skirt, adorable!
