Mood Reader Moments: March Reading Wrap-up

Mood Reader Moments: March Reading Wrap-up

Posted April 6, 2023 by Richetta in Monthly Wrap-up

This March I embraced my mood reader tendencies and enjoyed the freedom of spontaneous choice. I read multiple genres on different subjects using different mediums. I definitely enjoyed myself! Towards the end of the month I looked up and realized that I had read way more than I thought I had. So that made me […]

March Madness: Mood Reads for the Win

Posted March 9, 2023 by Richetta in Monthly Reading Goals

Mood reading seems to be the theme that has started my month of March Madness. So I’m going to keep this post short. Essentially, I don’t really have a pull towards any particular set of books right now. But I keep coming across interesting books that I hadn’t thought about in a while that I […]

Mega Reads Goals: February Reading Wrap-up

Posted March 1, 2023 by Richetta in Monthly Wrap-up

February was a short, but busy month. Between my birthday and other things going on I didn’t finish as many books as I would have liked. I actually spent a good chunk of time setting up my reading journal for the year. So I’m happy about that and will hopefully share more in future posts. […]

7 Cookbooks That Celebrate Soul Food

7 Cookbooks That Celebrate Soul Food

Posted February 19, 2023 by Richetta in Book Themes, Themed Reading List

I love soul food! I recently checked out a few soul food cookbooks from the library. So I thought I would put together a quick list of old and new cookbooks by Black chefs. Soul food recipes are steeped in tradition. They include knowledge handed down through generations. As a traditionalist when it comes to […]

Since February is the month of love, I’ve been playing around with going on a romance binge read-a-thon as I made up my February Reading TBR. A friend of mine is introducing me to Ali Hazelwood through a buddy read of one of her new releases. So I might use that as a kickoff. Of […]

Book Tour Palooza: January Reading Wrap-Up

Book Tour Palooza: January Reading Wrap-Up

Posted February 2, 2023 by Richetta in Monthly Wrap-up

Oooo weee! January typically feels like the longest. Month.ever! But this January it was simultaneously long and fast-paced… kind of like a good thriller that is more than 300 pages long. It was a Book Tour Palooza for me and I promise to never book that many tours in one month again! But there were […]

New Year New Books: January Reading Hopefuls

New Year New Books: January Reading Hopefuls

Posted January 13, 2023 by Richetta in Monthly Reading Goals

This is why you should probably give yourself a few weeks into the year before making any New Year’s resolutions. Because if I had, hypothetically speaking, made a resolution about reading more from my bookshelf and backlist I would already be behind the game. Backlist Challenge All of the books I have lined up from […]

Time to Chill: December Reading Wrap-up

Time to Chill: December Reading Wrap-up

Posted January 13, 2023 by Richetta in Monthly Wrap-up

December was a busy month, per usual. So I didn’t put a lot of expectations on myself for reading. I was moving around running errands and cleaning and cooking and still doing regular things. As a mom this time of year can be hard for me to focus on my own self-care because I am […]

Moms Who Read: November Reading Wrap-up

Moms Who Read: November Reading Wrap-up

Posted December 5, 2022 by Richetta in Monthly Wrap-up

The irony of November this year was that I was deeply entrenched in all things books and simultaneously too busy to do a lot of reading. So this post is dedicated to all of the Moms Who Read and I hope we are all blessed with quiet time during this holiday & winter season to […]
