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
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
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
December Wrap-Up // 2021
I LOVE that I finished the year with some incredible books! It really helped the sour taste I've had in mouth lately in regards to reading and it energizes me for the New Year! I read some really great books this month and had four books fighting for the top honor of my favorite book … Continue reading December Wrap-Up // 2021
October Wrap-Up // 2021
I would have thought my reading life last year would have suffered, but I would be wrong with that thinking. I am totally on the struggle bus lately; I'm finding it hard to read a book that really captures my attention. It seems like books start off strong, but around the halfway point, they really … Continue reading October Wrap-Up // 2021

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

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
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
