Today’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is books on our summer TBR list. I’ve already written about my summer TBR in this post about the 20 Books of Summer reading challenge. My summer TBR list, with what I’ve read so far, is below. Normally at this point in the summer I’d be much farther along, but June…
It’s two days until June 1, and that means the start of 20 Books of Summer, hosted annually by Cathy at 746 Books. Many of you know summer is absolutely my favorite time of year. And putting some thought into what I’m reading makes it even better. Here’s how I did last year. Why make…
I’ve been busier than usual lately, which is why you’re not seeing as many reviews. One reason is that I’ve been volunteering at my local library. I’m very fortunate to have a beautiful library, just blocks from my neighborhood. Every year, pre-COVID, they would hold a big fundraiser book sale from donated books. For the…
‘Tis the season for “best books of year” lists. One of my favorites is the New York Times 100 Notable Books, which I prefer because getting a list of 100 books is much better than trying to distill the best reading of the year down to a handful of books. In fact I didn’t really care for…
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is about our winter reading list. I’ve recently gone back to making quarterly TBR lists as a way to plan out my reading. My idea is that each of my quarterly TBR lists should include: a classic next in a series I’m reading ARCs…
It’s the end of Nonfiction November, and Week 5, hosted by Jaymi at The OC Bookgirl, is about which books we’ve added to our TBR list. First, I took a look at my TBR post from last year, where I added Here For It, Get Well Soon, Catch and Kill, and The Body Keeps the Score. …
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…
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…
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…
I’m a big fan of Modern Mrs. Darcy’s podcast, What Should I Read Next? so I signed up to receive her summer reading guide as well (to get the guide, you will need to provide your email). This is a list of summer releases that aims to satisfy a variety of readers. This year’s list is organized thematically,…
I’m so happy it’s finally summer! This year, I’ve been avoiding TBR lists and trying to take some of the pressure off of what and how I read. But I’ll make an exception for the 20 Books of Summer Challenge, hosted by Cathy at 746books.com, because it’s a pretty laid back challenge and summer feels…
Most people, outside of school or work, read what they want, when they want. But book bloggers spend a lot of time thinking about what they’re going to read – at least I do. Given limited reading time, I read for entertainment and for relaxation. But I also read to think and to challenge myself. This…
