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 […]
As the Springtime hustle and bustle opens up to hopefully more relaxing days in summer, I relied mostly on audiobooks this month. My May Reading Wrap-Up consisted on seven audiobooks, one ebook and two print books. I also read equal parts fiction and nonfiction. A few of the books I read have been on my […]
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. […]
Lately, audiobooks have seemed to be the best way for me to read. This month I finished listening to four and I have a few more I’m still working on. I even used one to keep reading when I had to change locations. I tend to stick to non-fiction with audiobooks as a preference. But […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
