In February I try to only read books written by Black authors, for Black history month. However, I hadn't properly prepared this year and I ran out of books and since I don't live in a town that has a book store and I haven't joined the library in town yet (and then was sidelined … Continue reading What I Read in February
January was a great month of reading, not because I read a lot, but because the books were fun. They were light, they were fluffy, there was some murder, there was some sex, there were gorgeous Italian villas, ancient libraries, and museum archives. It was just a great time. Good Girl Complex by Elle Kennedy … Continue reading What I Read in January
I was planning on including this in my January State of the Union post but it was all just becoming too long, so I may play it by ear each month, if I read a lot it gets it's own post, if I don't read a lot then maybe it may get put in the … Continue reading What I Read in December
Happy December! I only finished one book this month, I'm nearly halfway through Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid right now, because I want to read it before the mini-series comes out (hopefully sometime next year) and I enjoyed Malibu Rising and Evelyn Hugo so much. I don't know why I do … Continue reading What I Read in November
In October, I did the seemingly impossible, I read two non-fiction books. Which is (and was) nearly impossible. I was lucky that Bourdain is so readable and fun because Miss Dior was a tome. It took nearly 7 weeks of lunch hour reading to finish it. Miss Dior by Justine Picardie This was a very … Continue reading What I Read in October
Well I definitely broke my two book a month trend, finally. I read seven books in July, and I didn't really read during my week off. Honestly, this is kind of blowing my mind. I cannot remember the last time as an adult I read this many books. I'm attributing it to two factors, I've … Continue reading What I Read in July
And as you will have seen from the cover image, for the first time in months, I read more than two books in a month, look at that progress. I almost included a fourth book, because I finished it on July 1st and read most of it in June, but I technically finished it in … Continue reading What I Read in June
Once again I am continuing the 2022 trend of reading two books a month, I would really like to get up to at least 4 books a month, but I accumulated a decent amount of hobbies over the pandemic; reading, blogging, needlepointing, that all take time, but now that social stuff is happening again, it's … Continue reading What I Read in May
I really thought April would be the month I broke my 2 books per month average that I've been running so far this year, when I did read I enjoyed all the books I was reading and was getting through them quickly, but taking the time to sit down and read seemed impossible. Watching TV … Continue reading What I Read in April
March felt like a weird reading month, when I did read, I read super quickly, enjoying the books and devouring them, but actually sitting down to read was a totally different story. I have some books I am really looking forward to reading, and haven't read before but I just have no want to read. … Continue reading What I Read in March
