Time keeps on slippin....
Oy Vey! It has been so long since I posted. I will try to catch up on my summaries, but I may just skip ahead. I have decided I will start including spoilers. I started doing the book reviews so that I could remember what happened in each book since I'm having some trouble with retention. I think that's a side effect of listening to the books ( Read more... ) -
What? Is my hair out?
Heading into the home stretch for this year's reading challenges and I'm set up to finish two of the three. I've decided that I will be adding spoilers to my book descriptions to help me remember them. I need the refresher for my poor brain especially for books in a series that I go several months between reading volumes. Soooooo... there may be ( Read more... ) -
I'm only human after all...
Well, well, well, it seems I had some trouble there in the middle of the year. I'd like to say there's a good reason, but there isn't really. Time just got away from me. Not sure why my rhythm was disrupted, but now I hope it will get back in line. There has been some crazy work shenanigans and some family hiccups, but I'm not ill anymore so hurrah ( Read more... ) -
We're going to need a bigger blog
Or clock! Sorry about how late this has been, but I have actually been feeling well again! So, I've been doing very productive things and not stuck on my couch for quite so long a time. It has been glorious, but has gotten me behind on my book reviews. So without further ado:

I believe I can fly...
Although February was a short month I still feel bad about only completing 2 books. American Gods was really long and I did hardly any of it at home. I felt like I was kept quite busy with February. I have higher hopes for March. I have several shorter books checked out. I would really like to finish reading the paper books I have checked out, but ( Read more... ) -
Look for the bare necessities...
I have a new strategy for completing the reading challenges this year. I am going to try to complete the ReadHarder challenge first thing. I completed the other two last year by the skin of my teeth, but if I get the ReadHarder challenge done first it feels like the other two are a bit easier to find books for. I'm hoping it works. I also am ( Read more... ) -
Rule Number One: We Don't Talk About Fight Club
Late posting? Me? Never!
The Bronze Bow by Elizabeth George Speare
(PopSugar: A book with "gold," "silver," or “bronze" in the title)
I want to read this because it is a recommendation by Shelly to up my middle grade game.
This was really good. I don’t know if I would have enjoyed it as a kid. I did like another book by this author called The ( Read more... ) -
Happy people just don't shoot their husbands, they just don't.
I will complete the ATY challenge, but I'm pretty sure I will not be able to complete the PopSugar challenge because of the stupid medical thriller slot. It's not one I can fill with a picture book and I'm just not going to have time to do a full grown up book. December is far too busy of a month and I doubt I'm going to be able to complete it. I ( Read more... ) -
Round up the usual suspects!
October had a bit of a rough go. I started strong, but then fell off the wagon. Here are the four I managed to get through. Hopefully, I'll do better for November.

Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get.
Technically I only finished the first book in September, but I've already logged the rest in October so I figured I'd split it up and go ahead and post. My stomach still sucks and I'm still sick, but I persevere and carry on. I had a dream last night and I was sobbing over some broken eggs on the floor when I sort of heard and saw Anderson Cooper ( Read more... )
