Humph. As we near the end of the year, I can honestly say that I am extremely frustrated with this reading year. I don't know if it's me or the books, but there are few books that have really stood out to me. On the bright side, it might make creating my Top 10 List … Continue reading My Week in Books // 10-6-21

I can hardly believe this is the last week of September already! Time just seems to go faster and faster! I hope the weather is beginning to feel like fall where you're at because the heat just keeps on coming here in Colorado! I'm mostly scared we'll just skip fall altogether and go straight to … Continue reading My Week in Books // 9-29-21

It's already past Labor Day and I am craving fall weather. Unfotunately, we're on track to be the hottest September in history so October can't get here soon enough! It's already Homecoming week for my kids so the week has been filled with all the fun activities - building floats, preparing for a town-wide all-day … Continue reading My Week in Books // 9-8-21

The first week back to school is in the books, and I feel so lonely without my kiddos in the house with me all day. We switched school districts this year so we're definitely adjusting more than we're used to, but the change has been good and I'm so happy to see my kids thriving, … Continue reading My Week in Books // 8-25-21

To say I had a pretty mediocre week of reading would be an understatement. I was excited for these books, but for various reasons, they fell on the flat side for me! I'm hoping next week my reading picks up because August has felt a little disappointing ovearll. The House in the Cerulean Sea by … Continue reading My Week in Books// 8-19-21

*** Nowhere Girl: A Memoir of a Fugitive Childhood by Cheryl Diamond This is one of those books that fall under the category 'Truth is Stranger Than Fiction". I kept getting Educated and The Glass Castle vibes; one of those crazy coming-of-age tales that just blows your mind. I loved Diamond's metaphorical writing and really … Continue reading My Week in Books // 8-12-21

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

*** 🎧 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
