Happy belated new year! I didn't have anything to post in a roundup last week because I was too busy to read for a while — and because I'd just embarked on three loooong books. Which I still haven't finished (and likely won't for a few weeks, if not months). But I did manage to … Continue reading Reading Roundup #90: New Year, New (to Me) Stories
Starting back to work after a gloriously lazy vacation means I'm back to tired and overwhelmed by all the interaction with people (there are so many!). But at least I still have good books! So, this is just a quick pop-in to share a few favorite from the past couple weeks. Hopefully, I will be … Continue reading Reading Roundup #87: Better Than Reality
After a busy year, I'm finally getting some down time, and it feels lovely. For the first few days, as my body finally realized it had permission to crash, I mostly napped and watched Remington Steele episodes. Now, I'm still catching up on rest but with enough brain power to focus enough for reading. And … Continue reading Reading Roundup #86: Books to Read Where It’s Peaceful
I'm back! Usually I don't make a big deal about it if I drop off for a week, but this time I am because I am back in multiple senses! Back with good books and back mentally. Last week was a rough one, as I was dealing with health stuff and just too tired to … Continue reading Reading Roundup #73: Some of It Was Good
Another week, another roundup! It's a mixed batch this time, with some romance, some murder, and some old-fashioned drama. Likewise, some books were hits, and one almost made me swear off one of my favorite authors of all time. I KNOW. It's a lot for one week, and I'm still recovering. Jo's Boys (Little Women … Continue reading Reading Roundup #71: Sugar and Spice and Hearts Made of Ice
The thing I love about having not one but two comfort genres is that when romance fails me, murder mysteries will come through. I had high expectations for Alexis Hall's A Lady for a Duke and Katy Birchall's The Wedding Season (which, okay, is technically only romance-adjacent, being more truly Women's Fiction), but both fell … Continue reading Reading Roundup #66: Murder Over Marriage
We made it to another Wednesday — hallelujah! It's been a busy, busy week, full of work deadlines and events, which is why I couldn't get this post up at the usual time. But I'm here now and ready to talk about everyone's favorite topic — books! On the surface, these titles all look extremely different: … Continue reading Reading Roundup #65: Looking for Love
I tend to bounce around between genres, but this week is so varied, I couldn't even find a common theme to use for the title! We start with a murder mystery, then move to a literary reflection on life and death, followed by a feather-light rural comedy, and finish up with a dramatic historical romance … Continue reading Reading Roundup #63: Assorted Books
Hello, friends and neighbors! It's been fairly quiet around here — in fact, I wondered if I would have enough to talk about for a Roundup this week, but I managed to squeeze in a few goodies. During a week with ups and downs, revisiting an old favorite and crossing off two more that have … Continue reading Reading Roundup #46: Timing is Everything
As you'll see from this post's title, I'm trying something new – a "No Buy, No Borrow November." The No Buy part of that is an attempt to reign in my book-spending a bit after treating myself and also doing some early Christmas shopping this October. And that, combined with the No Borrow, is also … Continue reading No Buy, No Borrow November
