July Wrap-Up // 2022

August 2, 2022 ~ happiestwhenreading ~ 5 Comments

Welp, I'm pretty much in shock that summer is basically over. My kids have a little over two weeks left before school starts, but they start all of their sport activities this week! This may be the first summer ever that my reading took such a dive, but getting to soak up so many good … Continue reading July Wrap-Up // 2022

February Wrap-Up // 2022

February 28, 2022 ~ happiestwhenreading ~ 4 Comments

With everything going on in the world right now, it feels so silly to give superficial updates about what this month was like. Literally none of it matters when I think about fellow human beings having to flee their homes from a ruthless dictator. My heart goes out to the Ukranian people and I fervently … Continue reading February Wrap-Up // 2022

10 Books at the Top of My TBR in 2022

January 2, 2022 ~ happiestwhenreading ~ 4 Comments

This will be the third year in a row I’ve participated in Whitney’s Unread Shelf Project. The idea is to read the books you already own! At the beginning of the year, you count all the books on your unread shelf and then see how successful you were at cleaning those shelves when the year … Continue reading 10 Books at the Top of My TBR in 2022

Nonfiction November

December 1, 2021 ~ happiestwhenreading ~ 2 Comments

So far I've read 121 total books in 2021... Of those, 43 have been nonfiction books (36% of my total reading). Most of my nonfictional reading falls into the memoir category...with most topics seeming to deal with race/social justice issues. I also find myself gravitating to the grief/cancer/illness categories quite often. Without further ado... 2021 … Continue reading Nonfiction November

My Two Week in Books // 9-22-21

September 22, 2021September 21, 2021 ~ happiestwhenreading ~ 4 Comments

The Fortunate Ones by Ed Tarkington When Charlie Boykin gets a scholarship to the all-boys school, Yeatman, it is a tremendous relief for his single mom who works as a cocktail waitress. At Yeatman, Boykin's world is greatly expanded as he learns about class, privilege, and a new set of friends. This is a quiet … Continue reading My Two Week in Books // 9-22-21

My Week in Books // 3-30-21

March 30, 2021 ~ happiestwhenreading ~ 5 Comments

I didn't have a weekly update for you last week, and this one's coming at you a day early! It's funny how my reading life can ebb and flow - just like everything else in life. Sometimes I have a ton of time to read; other times, not so much! I'll have my March wrap … Continue reading My Week in Books // 3-30-21

My Week in Books // 3-3-21

March 3, 2021March 2, 2021 ~ happiestwhenreading ~ 6 Comments

Our weather has been amazing...67 degrees yesterday! Needless to say, I've been outside shooting hoops with my kids and playing a little bit of golf. It won't be long and my flower gardens will be demanding my attention, but the good thing about Colorado is that that job can be put off until at least … Continue reading My Week in Books // 3-3-21

February Spotlight // Infinite Country by Patricia Engel

February 26, 2021 ~ happiestwhenreading ~ 7 Comments

This book moved me to tears! Literally, I was sobbing (not just slow tears running down my face!). Something about the way Engel writes is so impactful that it emotionally destroyed me. I’ve read books that make me sad and that I reflect on for a long time, but few books have made me feel so deeply … Continue reading February Spotlight // Infinite Country by Patricia Engel

My Week in Books // 2-17-21

February 17, 2021 ~ happiestwhenreading ~ 13 Comments

What a week! We were at -29 degrees (-45 when the windchill was factored in) the other morning, and I'm not gonna lie, I felt an incredible amount of guilt as I sent my husband out the door to take care of our cattle. I am incredibly grateful that my dad is not in the … Continue reading My Week in Books // 2-17-21

My Week in Books // 2-10-21

February 10, 2021February 9, 2021 ~ happiestwhenreading ~ 6 Comments

I am literally in the thick of basketball right now; between my two kids, there's a game almost every night of the week...and all day Sunday. Don't get me wrong: I LOVE IT and I'm so THANKFUL my kids get to play, but it totally cuts into my reading time! When we are home though, … Continue reading My Week in Books // 2-10-21
