I can’t believe summer is in full swing already! We’ve had a rocky start to the summer with three separate illnesses and a major reading funk, but the weather has been incredible here in Nor Cal and for that I am grateful. I’m really looking forward to camping, fresh tomatoes from the garden, and some…

Reading Review – April 2023
Wow, it’s already the middle of May? Better late than never, I suppose! It’s no surprise to me that after a killer reading month in March, April was a complete flop. I think I started and stopped 10 different books last month… nothing could keep my attention. How to Bake a Perfect Life – 3…
Reading Review – March 2023
Phew, what a month! I’m not sure how much sun we saw in March, but if April does shower, I sure hope I can live to see the May flowers… One of the bright sides to the rain was the extra hours for reading! March was a record reading month for me, and I was…
Reading Review – February 2023
Time sure feels like it’s flying these days. It’s hard to believe we’re already in March! My reading life was rather wonky this month. I gave up on The Banned Bookshop of Maggie Banks, read half of Slow by Brooke McAlary, and started the audiobook for Everything is Figureoutable. Before I Let Go – 4.5…
Reading Review – January 2023
Ah, the longest month is over. Have you ever heard people say that they feel like they lived a full year in January alone? Man, sometimes that really rings true. This January was a wet one in Northern California and my husband worked most of the month on night shifts, so I had a lot…
Reading Review – November 2022
And just like that it’s December… the rain has finally arrived and Christmas is in full swing! This time of year is so bittersweet for me. I love all things Christmas, but the pressure to make it magical while my husband tends to work a lot of overtime, is physically exhausting and emotionally draining. I’m…
Reading Review – April 2022
Hey friends! Can you believe it’s May already? I just can’t. My head is spinning with all of the things that are going on in life right now, and I haven’t really found a book to grasp my full attention lately. But some of my most anticipated books of the year just released and I’m…
Reading Review – February and March 2022
Heyyyyyyy! Remember me? I haven’t forgotten about you, I’ve just been you know, a wee bit crazy. But writing two months of book reviews is just too much, so I’m going to try harder (so much harder) to write them monthly – even if it’s just a couple of books. I even have my first…
Reading Review: January 2022
Hello, friends! How ARE you? Are you taking care of yourself? Are you remembering to breathe? Someday I will get back on track over here, but man it’s hard. Right now I’m just giving myself grace – I hope you are too. January was an enjoyable month of reading! I finished four books which makes…
Reading Review: November and December 2021
Hey friends! The last month has been NUTS to say the least, and I’m trying to get back into the swing of things. After single parenting for weeks over the holidays, and my husband returning home with the dreaded C-19 in his back pocket, we have taken a ride on the struggle bus for sure!…
