Best of 2018!
I actually wasn’t going to do one of these posts, because I was in a funk and feeling like it was too much work. Then, I started The Kiss Quotient. and then I finished it, and now my heart is so light. You won’t be surprised to find that book on this list now, will you? Plus, I may have cheated a little bit because I’m doing this by month. So you’ll get my top book from each of the 12 months of 2018. And away we go!

A note about passion.
I hope that you all had a wonderful day yesterday, whether it was celebrating with family or simply spending a quiet day in contemplation. It’s time to start winding the year down and, per usual, I’m sitting here right at the brink of finishing my reading challenge and feeling so introspective that I really haven’t read. This year has been a year of learning for me. I’ve learned a lot about who I am, how to love myself for all of that, and that the quote above sums up who I’m becoming. I used to be the person who researched…

Holiday Hugs!
In case I don’t post anything again until after Christmas, I wanted to send a big old holiday hug to all of you out there! It’s been a year filled with a lot of things, some good and some bad, but I’m actually pretty proud of how much we did on this little blog. Running a book blog is a labor of love. It’s sometimes draining, sometimes fabulous, but always something that I want to do. So I thank you for sticking with us. Through the lulls, through the peaks, you were here. Thank you for that! I don’t usually…

The Journaling Bug
I’ve been MIA a bit because I managed to suddenly get a cold on Saturday night. I swear, every time that I get a real, full blown cold, it comes out of nowhere. *sigh* I miss summer already. Anyway, I’ve gotten the journaling bug again! I used to journal every single day, all the way up through high school, and then it slowly trickled off as I got into college and then into the work force. Still, I’ve kept slowly writing ever since then and now I’ve discovered the concept of bullet journaling and I’m HOOKED. 2019 shall be the…
