I’m typing this up on a Sunday night, cuddled under a blanket, and trying to pretend that the week ahead is not actually coming at me like a freight train. I really love just having time to rest, blog and read. Why can’t weekends be longer? Ack. Okay, anyway, I’ll stop complaining. Let’s talk books instead! Here’s where I stand, with only a week left in this month! Picking off books that have been on my TBR WAY too long has been my goal so far this month. I managed to get through My Best Friend’s Exorcism as a buddy read.…

The first one of these in January, and I’m so pleased with how strong I’ve started out this year! Let me tell you, I was in a hardcore slump the majority of last year. I’d sway in and out, but my reading was nowhere near where it normally is. This year I’m feeling good. I’m taking it slow, and reading what I want, and it’s going well. Here’s my first status update of the year! Can you believe I’ve already powered through 3 books this year? I’m even proud of myself. I picked up The Frog Princess as a light, fun…

Hello bookish friends! Am I the only one who is having a mild meltdown at the fact that Thanksgiving is next week, the month is almost over, and that means that Christmas and New Year are right around the corner? I set a goal to read 120 books this year, to keep things calm and simple, and I might actually not hit that. It’s been a great year so far, just not quite a great one for reading. The good news is that I’m not super worried about it. If I’ve been slacking off on blogging as much as I…

I hope all our bookish mommies out there had a fabulous Mother’s Day! At the very least, I hope that you had some time to sit around, relax, and read. That, right there, seems like a pretty good gift to me. I spent my weekend, once again, playing catch up. The good news is that I had some time to write some of my backlog reviews down, so you’ll get more content this week! I’m really trying to get more organized again, so I don’t leave you with long bouts of radio silence. Here’s how my reading has been shaping…

Is it truly Monday again already? I tell you, I need a vacation. The bright side of it all is that, despite not having a vacation, I’ve actually been getting a fair amount of reading done! I’m well ahead of my reading goal, and actually feeling really good about the way this year is shaping up. I’ve had a lot of great reads, and that’s just too amazing for words. I’ve actually been binge reading graphic novels lately, but here are three of the books that I’ve finished most recently. The Redemption of Brian O’Connor ended up well worth the time…

Greetings bookish people! It’s that time again. Time to do a check in, and see how the reading pile is dwindling. (Hint: it’s still not because you all recommend so many good books!) The bright side is that I’m well ahead of schedule for my reading challenge, and I’ve actually been enjoying a pretty fair amount of what I’ve been reading! I just need to learn to ease off on the review books now and then. Three very different reads have been devoured over the last week or so. I’ve been trying to vary what I read, to keep myself…

Greetings bookish people! It’s that time again. Time to do a check in, and see how the reading pile is dwindling (it’s not, that’s wishful thinking at best). The bright side is that I’m on track for my reading goal this year, and feeling really good about what I’ve put my grabby little hands on. It’s been a year of pretty darn good reads so far. I’ve been trying to read whatever I feel like picking up, rather than sticking to anything in particular. Thus, why this list look varied! The Firebird had been sitting on my Audible list for eternity,…

Oh look, it’s the first check in of the year! I shied away from memes for a while there, because I didn’t want to rely too much on things that weren’t reviews, but I’ve come to realize that I really should just post what I love. As it turns out, this meme is one of those things! I really enjoy checking in, and seeing what other people are reading as well. So, this is a keeper! This was actually a pretty amazing week of finished reads. I finally finished up Revival by Stephen King which, while it wasn’t what I was…
