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
Nonfiction November
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
November Wrap-Up // 2021
November started off slow and disappointing, but picked up speed and motivation as the month went on! I'm hoping the ambivalence I've had towards reading the past couple of months is gone now! 🤞🏼 Because of my lack of ambition towards reading, I wasn't going to actively participate in Nonfiction November. However, just by chance, … Continue reading November 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
My Week in Books // 10-6-21
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
My Week in Books // 9-29-21
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
