March Reading Recap

March 30, 2020

march reading

Well, of all the things I thought might happen this March I could never have come up with where we are now. I'll spare you the contents of my brain churning with the anxiety I have not only over family and friends flung across America, but all the people who have lost their jobs, the people sick and struggling. I feel helpless. So, while it feels a little frivolous to write ... Read More...

What I’m Reading in March

March 9, 2020

reading

It’s no secret that my February reading was not great—mostly because I complained about it. But, let’s let that go and move on, shall we?! It’s March and there’s a crop of books coming out that I’m excited about (because I always get excited about new books!). Some of them you’ve probably heard about already, but hopefully, I’ve got a few you don’t know. And with any luck, ... Read More...

February Reading Wrap-Up

February 28, 2020

february

The roller coaster that was my January reading ground to a halt in February. I can’t even blame the weather because Michigan has had one of its most mild winters (so far!) in years. Instead, it seems as if it’s something larger in the air because most of the readers and bloggers I know reported the same thing. Sadly, this means I’m going to sound crankier than ever in this ...

Midwinter Doldrums: Mini-Reviews

February 7, 2020

midwinter

On Wednesday we officially hit the midwinter mark. Hurray! I’m halfway through my first Midwestern winter and it’s not so bad. Of course, by saying that I’m just asking for trouble. Unfortunately, while the weather has been cooperating, my reading has not. I’ve finished a number of books I discussed on my episode of Sarah’s podcast and in my own Winter Preview post and the ...

What I’m Reading in February

February 5, 2020

february

I mentioned on Friday that January’s reading was a bit bipolar. I didn’t realize that it was an even worse month for many of the readers and bloggers I know. People were quitting books left and right. Thankfully, I didn’t have that, but it was more cloudy than sunny so I’m ready for February. Here are the six books I’m hoping restore my reading mojo. I need to feel some bookish ... Read More...

January Reading Wrap-up

January 31, 2020

january

My January reading was as all over-the-board as the weather here in Ann Arbor. Some of it depressed me as much as the foot of heavy wet snow we got, but then there were some days (and books) that were pure sunshine.     My art—it’s about choosing when I release the shutter. It’s not about setting up a scene and making a picture of it. It’s about being ... Read More...
