Today is the last day of March and my reading is recovering slowly but surely from the February awfulness. The only parameters I set for myself this month were: read books by women for Women's History Month and don't buy any new books. I did get Dolly Parton, Songteller as a gift but my self...

This enormous story goes by quickly as you become more and more connected to David, his friends, and family. Even Dicken's viewed this book as his best and I couldn't agree more.

At the very beginning of 2020 I saw The Knight is Dark and Full of Books do this with their 2019 books and I was in awe. I knew I wanted to do the same for my 2020 books but I also knew that if I didn't make it a monthly habit it would be a... Continue Reading →

Whew! As usual, my lofty plans for this month went....sideways. I pictured myself blogging nearly everyday and interacting with other bloggers and, and, and.... it didn't happen. I do not know how people sustain the energy for hosting these huge thematic readathons but, bless them! What Did I Read This Month? I started out by... Continue Reading →
For the last six months I have been hoping and planning to attend BookCon in New York City. Life has been chaotic this year so until I sat down on the plane I wasn't certain I was going to make it - but I did! What an experience. I have never been to a Book... Continue Reading →
One of my Challenges for 2019 is to read and enjoy the books that I already own. To support that goal I vowed to celebrate every five books I read of my own by purchasing a new book. Theoretically, I would get ahead. One of my other challenges was to use the library more. This... Continue Reading →
I am not an organized reader. Yesterday I posted my first quarter challenge updates and some things are going really well and others are suffering from the persistent mod reading. Something has to change! In addition to joining the OWL Readathon that was put together by G @ Book Roast, I am going to try making... Continue Reading →
