I've decided to start including other entertainment in my monthly book posts, because the reality is that I spend my free time on more than just books. And also because posting about just one book seems silly to me sometimes. So here's how I entertained myself in February... First, a book: Still Me by Jojo Moyes. I happened to hit the library lottery and requested this new release right after it got into the system, so I was the first one to check it out. And then I lost track of time … [Read more...]
Books I’ve Read: January 2018
I started January ambitious for reading, and even set my Goodreads goal for 40 books, slightly higher than the amount I read last year. And then I didn't really make much progress. I only read two books, and one of those I sped through on the very last day of the month. But still, they were good, easy reads, and I enjoyed them both, so that's a fine start to my reading year. After You by Jojo Moyes. Even though I didn't love how Me Before You ended, I still wanted to read what happened … [Read more...]
Books I’ve Read: December 2017 (Plus 2017 Totals)
We made it to the end of another reading year! And for the first time in several years, I actually met my reading goal. My goal was to read 30 books - 2 per month plus a few extras.

The month of December was pretty chaotic, and I only ended up having time for one book. But it was a pretty good one. Artemis by Andy Weir. I won a … [Read more...]

So when we got a copy of National Geographic's new book Hey Baby! in the mail, … [Read more...]
Books I’ve Read: November 2017
We were traveling for a third of November, and my goal was to read at least two books while we were on our trip. And I did! These were definitely better picks than last month's as well, so that helped. Me Before You by JoJo Moyes. I found this at the library book sale a couple months ago, so I added it to my bag, along with a few others for me (usually I end up with mostly kid books at those sales). I really wanted to like this book. And for the most part, I enjoyed it. This is … [Read more...]
