I don't know about you, but the few months of the year always fly by for me. I'll put something off for a couple days and look up to realize weeks have now passed! But I'm back now and happy to share some more great books. On the surface, they all look wildly different, but … Continue reading Reading Roundup #88: Inner Voices
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
It's another light reading week, but what a good one! Three new-to-me books are going directly onto my list of favorites I'll reread again and again. The cool weather continues in my area, and I'm loving curling up under the blankets with a cup of tea and a good book. I hope this trend continue, … Continue reading Reading Roundup #85: New Favorites
A cold front came in over the weekend, and I'm relishing the opportunity to layer up and hunker down with a good book in the evening. And this round of books is great for the coming winter, with plenty of smoke and mirrors going on... sometimes more humorously and sometimes quite seriously. First up is … Continue reading Reading Roundup #84: The Perfect Reading Weather
I know what you're thinking — only two books today! I'm amazed at myself, too. I've been reading a few other things but just haven't been able to finish them yet. However, the two books I did complete were more than satisfying. One is historical fiction while the other is a story about history (you'll see … Continue reading Reading Roundup #83: The Daughters of Time
Sometimes you hit a steady stream of just Great Books, sometimes you're stuck wading through disappointments, and sometimes you get a healthy mix of good and less good, which is where I'm at right now. And frankly, I think it's a pretty good place because, even if all of these books didn't steal my heart, … Continue reading Reading Roundup #82: Life is Like a Box of Books
Hello, bookish friends! I honestly didn't think I read that much this week until I sat down to write this post. Life's been a little bit of a lot lately, but I still managed to read five full books, so I guess it didn't slow me down that much. It's another variety pack, with a … Continue reading Reading Roundup #81: Operation Good Books
Opening yourself to another person can be downright terrifying, but whether they realize it or not, all our characters this week desperately need someone to love. Some are running toward it and some are running away, but in the end, they all run into their person, the ones who grounds and challenges them and laughs … Continue reading Reading Roundup #80: Somebody Like You
Well, it's happened: I've fallen into obsession with another long series. I tried to pace myself with the Vorkosigan books — I really did!! — but somewhere around last Friday I lost all control, and here we are, three full books and three short stories later, and with no sign of slowing down. I did … Continue reading Reading Roundup #79: Here I Go Again
