What I’m Reading in August

August 3, 2020

august

  Somehow August is already here and I don’t know if I think it’s too soon or what took so long. I’ve really lost the ability to process time. Also, apparently to dress myself as I went half a day with a tee shirt on backwards. Sigh. The good news is that my July reading went well, even if it was different from my usual fare. Nonfiction came on strong. This month ... Read More...

July Reading Wrap-Up

July 30, 2020

july

  Goodbye, July! My first full month of real summer in the Midwest. What I loved: fireflies, thunder and rain storms that last for hours. What is not so much: humidity that flattens me but makes my hair explode. And flies. So many flies! Why? The natural world aside, even with the increasing crazy that is America, July was an outstanding reading month. I finished 15 ... Read More...

What I’m Reading in July

July 10, 2020

  I realize we’re already 10 days into July, but honestly, can you really tell at this point? If anything, the news feels as if we’re moving backwards. With no guidance or support from the federal government the first ‘wave’ keeps growing. Who knows what’s next? All of which means, I’m behind in sharing the July reading I’m looking forward to. I’ve already had some ... Read More...

June Reading Wrap-Up

July 1, 2020

june

Goodbye, June! I wish I could say I was going to miss you, but honestly, there hasn’t been a month in 2020 that I haven’t been ready to escape. Only there is no such thing. There is gratitude that my life and the lives of those I care about are safe and secure (as much as possible), but looking beyond that small circle becomes more painful every day. I know this is a book blog ... Read More...

What I’m Reading This Week

June 22, 2020

reading

  For the first time in a very long time, I have nothing bookish to share. Oh, I’ll get to what I’m reading this week, but my reading last week was so uninspiring it left me without a book to review today. Quite honestly, I feel drained. My ability to enjoy reading faltered in the early days of the lockdown as the COVID numbers rose across the country. Then the economy ... Read More...

What I’m Reading in June

June 1, 2020

reading

Hello, June and welcome, summer. I’m not sure what to expect here in Michigan, but so far, humidity seems to be a very real thing. Thankfully, even though I’m not going anywhere anytime soon, I have a great crop of book lined up to start my summer reading. It’s a nice blend of authors I already know and new voices. Bring on the cocktails, a comfy place to read and let's get ... Read More...
