Goodbye October, and welcome November! It’s the season of delicious food, warm fires, and lots of family/friends time. I love this time of year! Before we say goodbye to October officially though, let’s take a look at what I read this month. Shall we? ************ (C) = Children / (YA) = Young Adult / (NA) = New Adult (A) = Adult / (MG) = Middle Grade ** Books read in previous months Books read and reviewed in October: (YA) The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place by Julie Berry – Review (4/5) (YA) A Murder of Magpies by Sarah Bromley – Review (2/5)…

Ah, Fall. You’re here! Well sort of. I mean, it’s not quite Fall weather in Southern California yet. Still, this time of the year means hot drinks (preferably Pumpkin Spice flavored) and comfy coats. I love it!  It also means I usually get more time to read in bed, and so that I’m thankful for as well. Here’s how this month went down! ********** (C) = Children / (YA) = Young Adult / (NA) = New Adult (A) = Adult / (MG) = Middle Grade ** Books read in previous months Books read and reviewed in September: (YA) Heir of…

The closer it gets to the end of the year, the busier life gets. Still, it was a pretty good month of reading! I know I haven’t been around the blog as much. Work isn’t as stable as I’d like it to be, but I’m still here and doing the best I can! Thanks for sticking with me! ********** (C) = Children / (YA) = Young Adult / (NA) = New Adult (A) = Adult / (MG) = Middle Grade ** Books read in previous months Books read and reviewed in August: (YA) The Girl From the Well by Rin Chupeco…

Another month gone! This month was busy at work, busy at home, but also quite full of reading. I’m so close to my reading goal for the year already, and it’s only just now August! This was a month of really great books, and some not so great ones. Let’s see where they fell. ********** (C) = Children / (YA) = Young Adult / (NA) = New Adult (A) = Adult / (MG) = Middle Grade ** Books read in previous months Books read and reviewed in July: (A)*Novella* The Wanderer in Unknown Realms by John Connolly – Review (4/5) (YA)…

It was a busy month! I came back into the mix, after being away from blogging for a whole month, and I think I did a pretty good job of keeping up :). It’s going to take a little time for me to get fully back on track, but I’m enjoying it. Blogging is fun! So let’s see what I read this month. ************ (C) = Children / (YA) = Young Adult / (NA) = New Adult (A) = Adult / (MG) = Middle Grade ** Books read in previous months Books read and reviewed in June:  (A) *GN* The…

So as you know, I wasn’t here on the blog in May. I did get a lot of reading done though! All the links below will take you to my BookLikes review of the books that I read. I’m pretty caught up, and feeling good about it! Looking forward to a new month of reading :). ********** (C) = Children / (YA) = Young Adult / (NA) = New Adult (A) = Adult / (MG) = Middle Grade ** Books read in previous months Books Read and Reviewed in May: (YA) The Inventor’s Secret by Andrea Cremer – Review (4/5) (YA)…

Another month has come and gone. Another month of amazing reads, and fun posts! If you’ll notice, things have slowed down a little here on the blog. I’ve been adjusting to having new responsibilities at work, and also to daily gym visits! I had the time, I just had to make it work :). Things will pick back up again in April! So let’s see those books! ********** (C) = Children / (YA) = Young Adult / (NA) = New Adult (A) = Adult / (MG) = Middle Grade ** Books read in previous months Books Read and Reviewed in…

February always throws me off. It’s a short month, and it just speeds by! A lot of good things happened this month though, not the least of which was that I read some great books. So here’s a list of what I devoured in February. ********** (C) = Children / (YA) = Young Adult / (NA) = New Adult (A) = Adult / (MG) = Middle Grade ** Books read in previous months Books read and reviewed in January: (MG) Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy by Karen Foxlee – Review (3/5) (A) Etched on Me by Jenn Crowell – Review (4/5) (A)…

Can you believe it’s already going to be February? Wow! I’m still trying to wrap my head around writing 2014 when I write out a date. Ha! Time flies, especially when you have a busy reading month. Let’s see how I did! ********** (YA) = Young Adult / (NA) = New Adult / (A) = Adult / (MG) = Middle Grade ** Books read in previous months Books read and reviewed in January: (A) From the Outback by Ann B.

It’s time for the big post! Are you ready?  This is the post where I list out all the books I read this year, along with links. It’s my hope that maybe you’ll find a hidden gem you missed, and this also helps keep me organized! I had set a goal of 175 books to read this year, and then changed it to 200 books when I hit the first mark. I didn’t quite make 200! I hit 198 though, which is pretty darn awesome. Here’s to 2014!
