Booklr Questions – Who are your favorite book characters?

Who are your favorite book characters? It’s so easy for me to fall in love with characters in books, but rarely because they are sweet.  I find myself falling in love with the brave, the decisive, and the eccentric. A few of my favorites are: Lettie Hempstock in Ocean at the End of the Lane…

Booklr Questions – What is the worst book you’ve ever read?

What is the worst book you’ve ever read? I try not to hate books, though I can often tell you things I don’t love about them.  My biggest beef is with (usually self-publsihed) books that obviously haven’t been edited.  I read a book a few months ago that took place in winter, and while the…

Book It – Memoirs & Mysteries

I can’t believe it’s almost the end of May already. Where has this year gone? I feel like I’ve lost days or even weeks inside the pages of a book, but I’m not sure that’s a bad thing.  I’m managing to knock a few more items off my checklist, and even get through my pile…

4 months into my goal of reading more this year, and I’m discovering many amazing books I never would have chosen otherwise. (You can see the goals for my reading list on the 2015 Reading List from PopSugar.) I’ve been reading so much, that I had to re-arrange my shelves in the living room to…

I have used affiliate links for the books in this post. I’ve made it almost 3 months into my goal of reading more this year. I’m so glad I stumbled on that 2015 Reading List from PopSugar. It has made me pick up several books that I otherwise would never have considered, which is great…
