I read over 60 books in 2019 (picture before the end of the year). By read, I mean I either actually read them or listened to the audio version (which I count as a book read). Here are my favorites of 2019. Biggest Surprise to Me: I have no idea why, but I resisted reading … Continue reading Books of 2019

I have lost my will to read. The horror. I am blaming this on being really sick all of May. I didn't read, didn't work out, missed work days and if I wasn't doing mom duties, I was in bed zoning out to Netflix (Father Brown) and Prime (Silent Witness). I just couldn't concentrate. So, … Continue reading Book Date

I know its just me, but I feel like mid paragraph there will be a random sentence that doesn't make sense and I go "HUH???". I get lost in those paragraphs. But, I'm sticking … Continue reading Book Date

I have finished three books recently. One I LOVED. One I really liked. One I sorta liked, I think? In reverse order. Liked: The Girl with a Clock for a Heart by Peter Swanson. George Foss never thought he'd see her again, but on a late-August night in Boston, there she is, in his local … Continue reading Book Date

A tender, joyous debut novel about a cub reporter and her eighty-six-year-old subject—and the unlikely and life-changing friendship that develops between them. Kate is a twenty-six-year-old riddled with anxiety and panic attacks who works for a local … Continue reading BookDate

It is here, on this momentous day, that Amar, the youngest of the siblings, … Continue reading Book Date
