It’s Nonfiction November, a five-week event of discussions on everything related to nonfiction. This week’s prompt, hosted by What’s Nonfiction, is about looking back at our year of reading nonfiction. What was our favorite read, what did we recommend most often, and which topics were we drawn to? I’ve read 15 nonfiction books so far this…
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic (hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl) is our favorite online book resources, which is something I have lots of opinions about. Sites for book tracking, reviewing, and recommendations. This year I started using The StoryGraph in addition to Goodreads. At the moment I’m still using both, but I hope…
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is the list of books on my fall to-be-read list. I felt really good about my summer TBR list, so I’ve decided to go back to planning my reading a bit more. The first are three books I’ve already started (maybe they don’t really…
I get annoyed by all the copycat book covers out there. Publishers seem to want every book to look like a knockoff of the latest hit. I realize it’s helpful for bookstores to have clear indicators of where to shelve a book, and for people to easily find the latest book that’s just like the…
July began great, with my first plane trip in a year and a half, and I got to see two of my sisters this month. It looked like things might be getting back to normal, but of course now we’re going back to masks, and I know of two people who have gotten COVID recently…
Which books would you want if you were stranded on a desert island? That’s the subject of this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It immediately made me think of long, weighty books that you can spend a lot of time with. It also made me think about the books I…
I’ve generally been avoiding reading lists lately, except for this one. I love everything about summer, including thinking about what I want to read. Cathy’s 20 Books of Summer challenge is simple — it’s just a list of 20 books we plan to read over the next three months. This is coming in a bit…
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is a “Spring Cleaning Freebie” which seemed like a good opportunity to clean my TBR list a bit. The following are all books I was interested in reading but I haven’t gotten to them yet, and they have the lowest ratings on my TBR…
February was a difficult month. Our beloved cat Harley got sick, spent a whole day in an animal hospital, and never fully recovered. She was 18 so this was expected and we had many years with her, but we miss her terribly. I’m trying to manage work anxiety on top of that, which is probably…
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is about our favorite books written before we were born. I haven’t written about my favorite classics for a while, so this was a nice opportunity to span a couple centuries of great literature and pick out my favorites. In making this list, I…
This week’s host for Nonfiction November is Katie @ Doing Dewey, and it’s about the nonfiction titles we’ve added to our TBR list this month. Below I’m highlighting just a few of the books I hope to read. Here for It; Or How to Save Your Soul in America by R. Eric Thomas is a book…
This week’s Nonfiction November prompt comes from Julie @ Julz Reads: This week, pair up a nonfiction book with a fiction title. It can be a “If you loved this book, read this!” or just two titles that you think would go well together. Dopesick is an in-depth look at opioid addiction, particularly at how the…
