Hi, y’all. Today I’m here to talk about books or the lack thereof. Every year, I eagerly join the goodreads annual reading challenge. My goal is often simple, just one book per month. Twelve books in a year is feasible. But so far this year, I’m behind. Continue reading Maybe I’m Not Up To The Reading Challenge
I’ve missed reading. I started off the year doing about a book a month, but things got extra busy this Summer. I read only one short book in the last few months, so I’m behind in my annual goodreads reading challenge. But I think I’m gonna catch up. Continue reading Reading Challenge Update
People like to set goals and make resolutions at the start of the new year. But not me. Well, except for the annual goodreads book reading challenge. Last year my goal was 12 books – one per month. Seemed feasible. I managed to read 22! For me, that’s pretty amazing. This year, I’ve made my goal the same, 12 books, because I want to stay … Continue reading Reading Challenge 2019

Even with the kids often grabbing my attention, my brain seems to be on book-lock mode, like a homing missile lasered in on its … Continue reading Reading Books Is Awesome
I’m glad to say that I finally read one of the books that’s been on my Want-To-Read list for a long time, 1984, by George Orwell. So what did I think about it? Well, I enjoyed the overall plot with its drama and danger. I found the way it was written interesting. Almost like you’re stuck in the main character’s head the whole time. The … Continue reading Reading Dystopia
Some say there is a magic to reading books. Maybe you know what it’s like to have a real page-turner in your hands. Like eating a bag of chips, you can’t put the book down – just one more page, one more chapter! I enjoy such books, but that hasn’t always been the case. When I was a kid, I didn’t like reading, fiction or … Continue reading The Magic Of Reading Books
