I don't know what it is, but I've been struggling to get into books this month. Who knows, maybe it's all my other hobbies taking up my time right now? Hopefully next month will be better. Trying something new here for this section - there are always so many books on my plate that it… Continue reading January 2023 Wrap Up

This year was better than the last, but still a far cry from my usual 50+ books. Here's to next year! A few fun facts from the year: I got back into YA a little bit reading four young adult titles (all fiction). I'm still reading mostly straight white women, but this year read a… Continue reading 2022 Year in Books

This month I had hoped to continue my strong reading from October but alas it was not to be. It was an incredibly busy month - my husband ran in the World's Toughest Mudder down on the Gulf and then we spent time in New Orleans, which was immediately followed by holiday prep at the… Continue reading November 2022 Wrap Up

I'm back! It's so nice to be back in the swing of things, writing reviews, talking books. There has been much that has happened this month but I'll save all of that for a Diary of a Bookseller post next week. For this month, we'll just stick with what I've read and what I've written!… Continue reading October 2022 Wrap Up

But start thinking about them now because I promise, they… Continue reading March 2022 Wrap Up

Links are to the books' pages on The StoryGraph! Books Read in February Corrections in Ink by Keri Blakinger (nonfiction… Continue reading February 2022 Wrap Up

Quite a few of the books that I finished come out later this year (or have sequels… Continue reading January 2022 Wrap Up

Welp, I had my worst reading year since 2014, just a paltry 34 books read. Since 2015 I've read over 50 books a year. But it's been a hell of a year. From a cancer scare for me to multiple family deaths, well, I'll be happy to see this year in the rearview mirror. Total… Continue reading 2021 Year in Books

Well, I barely made it, but I read my 52 books for the year (not including the hundreds I "blurb" read, but these are the ones I really read.) This year that included a couple of surprises and also reaffirmed that I need to vary my reading particularly when it comes from reading books by… Continue reading 2020 Year in Books
