Book It!

I feel a bit like a slacker because I didn’t write up a Book It! post last month, but then again, I didn’t finish any books last month.  It was the first time in two years that I didn’t finish any books during a whole month.  I blame motherhood.  The lack of alone time is…

Book It!

Another month has gone by where I’ve only finished one book, but it was a good book. Soul Music Soul Music is the Terry Pratchett’s 16th novel about Discworld, and the 3rd to feature the anthropomorphic personification of death, who happens to be my favorite character on the Disc. In this particular novel, Death isn’t…

Book It!

Would you believe me if I told you that I only finished one book this month?  It’s true. Finding time to read has been dicey lately, as Mil hasn’t been feeling the best. She’s going thru a phase where she isn’t happy unless you’re holding her, and honestly, all I want to do when she’s…

Book It!

I have to seriously thank the new “LeVar Burton Reads” podcast for getting any reading done this month.  It’s basically the adult “Reading Rainbow,” and I didn’t realize how much I needed it in my life until it appeared. Thanks to the podcast, I was able to rack up several completed “books” which were really…

I’m back at work now, so even my available time for listening to audiobooks has dropped.  But, I am still trying to make time to do a little bit of reading. I was able to finish 2 audiobooks this month, and made some progress on a couple of real books. Speakers of the Dead Speakers…

Book It! – Birthday Books

My birthday is in April, so it’s usually a great month for books.  After all, what better excuse for a reader to pick up some new and beautiful books than her birthday?  I actually wasn’t given any books for my birthday this year- probably due to my lack of shelf space right now. But I…

Book It!

This month’s Book It! post is a little late in arriving.  I normally post these on the last Monday of the month, but with Mildred home now, I’ve been spending most of my spare time sleeping. And I completely forgot about getting this post up for you.  However, late is better than never.  And since…

Book It!

February is almost over, and I am still doing well with my goal of reading 12 books this year. I’ve already completed twice the number of books that I need to read so far, but with baby “Spot” Turner coming next month, I have a feeling that my reading time is going to all but…
