Today I’m thankful for…
– the family that’s let me crash their Thanksgiving for the last 8 years.
– two full days off work (insert hands in the air emoji here).
– all of the apple pies.
– a plane ticket home to CA next month (even if it cost me an arm and a leg).
– shopping in my PJs. I’m trying to check names off my Christmas list!
– twinkle lights that give me holiday cheer.
– the Christmas songs I’m going to play on repeat for the next month.
– family (six Ns, always and forever).
Happy Thanksgiving! What are you thankful for?

![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.]
