We're five days into 2020, and I'm already in too deep with my to-be-read list. My only real saving grace is that the Seattle Public Library is amazing and has almost all of the books I want to read. My bank account thanks you, SPL. Before I write about what I'm looking forward to in…
I really don't feel like I can say this is my "Best of 2019" list because we're not even a full week into December. So many amazing books are coming out this month, and putting together a best of list without giving those lovelies a chance would be mean. BUT, maybe you're like me and…
This weekend I will celebrate my 7th wedding anniversary, and this past August we celebrated 14 years since our first date. For me, fall is a magical time and it gets me feeling all those happy romantic feelings. Guess you all know why I picked October for my wedding. Well, that and it's hot as…
I remember as a kid the fun of Friday the 13th, a day that was supposed to bring bad luck, a day that in my mind was forever linked to a 1980's horror film. For me personally, Friday the 13ths have historically been good days. I'm not sure why; perhaps I'm looking for the good…
It's come to my attention that today is National Read a Book day, which, as an avid reader and fan of all things books, I wholeheartedly support. I went to the library yesterday to pick up a book I'd been very much looking forward to reading, but when I got home and opened the book,…
Someone told me yesterday that school has started back up, so in my mind that means summer is over. Sure, technically it's still summer, but I'm ready to share three great books with y'all, so lets' go with it. Killers of the Flower Moon : The Osage Murder and the Birth of the FBI by…
Life got a little busy in the second quarter of 2019. I'll be honest, life doesn't seem to be be slowing down too much now either. But I still managed to find some time to read some great books, and here are my top four, in no particular order. From Here to Eternity: Traveling the…
Post originally published March 28, 2019. You all know by now that I’m a bit of a book addict. As the end of March approaches, so does the end of the first quarter of 2019. I gave myself a goal of reading 50 books this year instead of the 100 book goal with the recognition…
This post has migrated from my now defunct Facebook page. It was originally published November 20, 2018. I’ve begun reading for the annual Sirens reading challenge, and their theme for 2019 is Heroes. The three books I want to recommend you pick up ASAP are from the “Optional” portion of that reading challenge list, and…
The post has migrated from my now defunct Facebook page. It was originally published August 20, 2018. Since my timeline is full of back-to-school photos of my friends’ kids, I figure that means summer is over. And while I haven’t read as many books this summer as I did last year (when I was reading…
