Welcome back to the bookish version of Six Degrees of Separation. Here’s how it works: Start with the book suggested by Kate over at booksaremyfavouriteandbest, and see where you end up by linking it to six other titles. It’s easy and it’s fun, and no two chains are the same! This month's starting point is with … Continue reading #6Degrees: From Postcards From the Edge to The Paris Wife

My Week in Books // 8-4-21
Not a big reading week as we had family in town for my son's 16th birthday...whaaaaat?!?!? I know I'm not the first to say it, nor will I be the last, but how in the world is that possible?? A whole new set of worries open up as I now begin sleepless nights again and … Continue reading My Week in Books // 8-4-21
July Wrap-Up // 2021
The 2020 Olympics are finally here and I cannot get enough of them! I love all of it, but I especially enjoy the gymnastics, swimming, and track and field events. I actually watched some fencing the other day for the first time and found it pretty interesting! Thankfully, I had a lot of great books … Continue reading July Wrap-Up // 2021

*** 🎧 Punch Me Up To the Gods by Brian Broome I listened to this one on audio (thank you, Libro.fm!), and it was one of the heavier memoirs I've read this year. Broome talks about growing up poor, Black, and gay in Ohio. Told through essays, I also loved how Broome incorporated stories from … Continue reading My Week in Books // 7-28-21

The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes I think the controversy that surrounded this book made me nervous to pick it up, but I'm so sad that I allowed it to keep me away for so long. I absolutely enjoyed this book about The Pack Horse Library. This was a project set up in the … Continue reading My Week in Books // 7-21-21

*** One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston Omg...Casey McQuiston does it again! One Last Stop was a truly delightful audiobook experience. The story is full of love, friendship, and dedication. August and Jane are such great characters, but I loved the cast of secondary characters just as much. All of them create a beautiful sense … Continue reading My Week in Books // 7-14-21
Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag // 2021
General Mid-Year Stats: This time last year I had read 74 books...so while I thought I was a little behind, it's really an insignificant difference. Interestingly, my YTD average rating is the same this year as compared to 2020. The thing that maybe made me the most happy when I was looking over these stats … Continue reading Mid-Year Book Freak Out Tag // 2021
My Week in Books // 7-7-21
I have officially declared July as the month for me to tackle my Book of the Month Club (referal link) books. I have somewhere around 25 unread BOTM selections, and truly, these books were some of my most anticipated reads. They've gotten lost in the shuffle and if I don't make some sort of strong … Continue reading My Week in Books // 7-7-21

My Halfway Top 10 // 2021
I can't believe we're already halfway through 2021! I swear I catch myself saying 2020 all the time - it almost feels like I just lost that year of life. Anyone else? So far, I feel like I've had a satisfactory reading year. While I'm on track to reach my Goodreads reading goal (I'm ahead … Continue reading My Halfway Top 10 // 2021
