Book It! – Fairy Tales Retold
The month of May has been great for reading. I feel like I’ve finished tons of books, and I’m well on my way to completing my goal of 52 books this year. I’m actually a lot further ahead than I thought I would be. The Lunar Chronicles I recent read all 5 books in The…

Another month gone. I can hardly stand how fast time seems to go as you get older. It’s crazy. National Library week falls in April, which I love to celebrate. And it was as good of an excuse as any to get a library card from my new local library. (I moved last fall and…
Read MoreBookish Questions – Do you gift your friends and family with books?
Do you gift your friends and family with books or bookish items? I love giving books as gifts. For Christmas last year, I got one sister a book on making your own baby food – she just had that baby (Yea!); and I got my other sister an Amazon gift card so that she could…

It’s February, and the weather around here has been nothing by cold and heartless. It was in the 50s during the 1st week of February. But that warmer weather was a tease. We got more cold weather and snow again. Then it got warm again. We had a 70 degree day and then got snow…

Do you use a library? As a reader, I feel like a horrible human being when I admit that I haven’t had a library card in ages. Growing up, I lived in one of the few townships in my state that did not have library service, so if we wanted library cards, we had to…
Read MoreBook It – New Year’s Resolutions
It’s January again, and I’m so proud of myself for completing an entire year of posts about the books I’ve read. It’s been a great way for me to keep track of all those books, and to share my love of reading with all of you. With 2016 comes a new year and a new…
Read MoreBookish Questions – How many books to you read in a year?
How many books to you read in a year? The number of books I read each year varies. Though Goodreads has been nice enough to inform me that I read a total of 66 books last year. And, as you can see, the length of those books varied pretty widely, from a measly 31 page…
