    It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (8/10/18)

    Well friends, it’s Monday once again. I’m actually writing this on Sunday night, sitting in my cool room, and lamenting the fact that I have to get up early tomorrow and drag my behind to work. This weekend was HOT. So hopefully the week treats me nicer, and makes me want to function. Between the heat and a migraine, I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked. Still, I’m chugging along on Halloween Bingo. Here’s where my reading stands. My reading is so crazy all over the place right now, so my two most recently finished books…

    It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (8/13/18)

    Happy Monday, friends! If it’s as hot where you are as it was here this weekend, please know that I’m thinking of you. Staying inside and reading this weekend was the best possible thing I could have done. I’m hoping you did the same! Here’s what I’ve been working my way through. My reading has been a bit all over the place lately. I’ve been flipping between reading books on homesteading, comics, fantasy, and now a true crime series. Hahaha. It’s nice to feel free to read whatever strikes my fancy. It’s really helping me keep my reading mojo up!…

    Waiting on Wednesday (8/8/18)

    It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, I realized! With all the madness lately I’ve kind of fallen off of my normal posting habits, but I’m working my way back. It’s been nice to once again have a radar on all the new books coming out :). I missed being excited for new releases! Now, on to my pick for this Wednesday! I’m eagerly waiting on Salt by Hannah Moskowitz. When witches kidnap her dad, Mup is swept up in a wild tide of magic that carries her to another world. Can she reunite her family and find her…

    It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (7/9/18)

    Happy Monday, friends! If it’s as hot where you are as it was here this weekend, please know that I’m thinking of you. Staying inside and reading this weekend was the best possible thing I could have done. I’m hoping you did the same! Here’s what I’ve been working my way through. Last time I did this meme I’d been through a bout of really excellent reads. This time around, I’m sad to report that it’s been more of a “meh” kind of run. The Feed was slow and failed to live up to what I was hoping for. Furyborn drove me…

    It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (6/18/18)

    Happy Monday, friends! I’m not going to write a long intro today, because I’m tired and not feeling super inspired. I did want to share my reading progress with you though, so… On to the books! It’s been a great run of reads lately. Like, insanely good, to be honest. I haven’t disliked a single thing I’ve powered through. My most recent three reads all garnered at least 4 stars, with Kiss the Ground coming in at a 5 star rating because of how fascinating it was! If you’re at all interested in learning about our agricultural system, I highly recommend…

    It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (5/7/18)

    Happy Monday, y’all! Yes, I actually mean that. Monday it may be, but I’m feeling pretty optimistic about it. As you can see, things have settled into a nice rhythm here at HDB, and that in itself means that things are in a good place. Huzzah! Likewise, my reading has been doing so much better lately as well! I’ve been back into the swing of things, and my review roadblock has vanished. I’ve just kind of learned to let my brain do its thing. If it says that I need to take a break, I do. It makes things go…

    Waiting on Wednesday (4/25/18)

    You’ve made it to Wednesday, bookish friends! Congratulations! I’m slogging through this day. That’s pretty much the only way to describe how I feel. If someone were to point me in the direction of a cup a tea and a couch, I’d fall straight asleep. Hahaha. The good part is that it’s at least the middle of the week, so we’re in the downhill swing to the weekend! Huzzah! Now, on to my pick for this Wednesday! I’m eagerly waiting on Salt by Hannah Moskowitz. Even though their parents disappeared during a hunt three months ago, seventeen-year-old Indi and his siblings,…

    Waiting on Wednesday: Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi + A Giveaway!

    Hey friends! It’s been a long time since I posted one of these, I know. I strayed away from too many weekly memes for a while, but now I’m kind of heading back towards them because I’ve just been too busy to write whole posts all the time. I’m in desperate need of a quiet weekend where I can draft a bunch of things to post at random times again :). My cache has been depleted. Anyway, let’s talk books! I’m so excited for Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi, and the best part is that I actually was lucky enough…

    It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (3/5/18)

    Good morning lovely people! Here’s your weekly reminder to kick Monday in the aft end, because it’s only a day and it doesn’t have any power over you ;). Here’ s a further reminder that, if things get too much, escaping into a book is always an option. Isn’t that such a happy thought? My weekend was pretty uneventful. Some time with friends, some books being read, and a lot of cross stitching! I like those kinds of weekends. So worth it. Now that I’ve rambled at you, on to the books! On the finished list is The Sweetness at…
