Hi Ya’ll! I’m back from my summer break and ready to jump back into the swing of things. As an academic, Fall always gives me a jolt of inspiration. So starting again in September is not so bad after a busy summer full of family and fun. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been reading all […]
May is a beautiful month for reading outside. Flowers are in bloom, but the mosquitos aren’t out yet. When I’m trying to accomplish my May Reading Goals, I always try to get a few outdoor reading sessions in before it gets too hot. This month I have a mixed TBR of fantasy/sci-fi and contemporary fiction. […]
I love April, because it’s such an interesting convergence of weather. It finally starts to get warm and sunny, but the unpredictable rain showers can change your plans at any minute. And as a reader rain means D.E.A.R (Drop Everything and Read) time and a boost to my April Reading Hopefuls! In honor of National […]

Backlist Challenge All of the books I have lined up from […]
Join me for another “Do What I Want” December Reading Goals list!!!! December is a super busy month for me as a working mom. So I’m going to continue my tradition of not putting too many expectations on my reading goals this month. Last year it worked out pretty well and I had a chance […]
As a book lover, November is one of my favorite months. Think about it: warm drinks, cozy atmosphere, holiday themed books, making book gift lists. Plus there is a built in Thanksgiving break where all you have to do is say you need help with the dishes after dinner and everyone disappears so you can […]
October is a fun month to read whether you are into spooky reads, cozy mysteries or just sticking to your regular favorites. For those of you who live in an area where the weather gets a little chillier or sometimes downright cold. October is the beginning of cozy reading season, the best season in my […]
I know I can’t be the only one who is ready for sweater weather! This month I’m feeling kind of mood readerish with the change in seasons. So I’m going to go with a couple of books on my TBR that have caught my eye in the last few days. Check them out and join […]
