It’s Monday, June 12th: What Are You Reading?

June 12, 2017

lost

Monday again? There is nothing like a vacation filled with family, momentous occasions (high school graduation, reunion with college friends) to dynamite even the best of reading intentions. What I mean is: I didn't finish Everybody’s Son until last night. Yes, I only read one book last week, which is…bizarre. OK, I binge watched the new season of Orange is the New Black, but ...

It’s Monday, June 5th: What Are You Reading?

June 5, 2017

Monday

  In case you didn't know, I’m a big fan of synchronicity. Coincidence is so boring when you can choose to believe that the most random things are part of a greater pattern! So…how awesome is it that my Monday reading is A) one of my favorite authors B) she lives in Cleveland and C) I’M IN CLEVELAND! I know, I’m giddy, too. And in my little rainbow unicorn mind ...

May Reading Recap

June 2, 2017

May

  To call this month’s reading recap a mashup is an understatement. It could also be the library checkout recap or even the non-fiction recap—which is huge because I’m virtually certain I’ve never read more than one non-fiction book a month, much less four. And on all kinds of subjects! But there you have it. May also turned out to be another monster month for how much I ... Read More...

It’s Monday, May 8th: What Are You Reading?

May 8, 2017

monday

Monday again and May already?! Mentally I’m still in March and while I’ll be happy for some sunshine I’m not sure I’m ready for summer. What I am ready for is a solid streak of great reading. Currently, I’m stalling out and DNFing most new releases or finding them OK at best. Here’s hoping today’s picks will be game changers!     I'm taking a break from ... Read More...

April Reading Recap

May 1, 2017

april

  Safe to say that April stayed more true to form than March, in that we had A LOT of rain, which is fine because now we have flowers everywhere. My reading was not quite so productive. I did have a 5 star winner with The Takedown, but beyond that I was stuck with hit or miss books.     Desperation Road by Michael Farris Smith: One of those novels ... Read More...

It’s Monday, April 17th: What Are You Reading?

April 17, 2017

Monday

Another Monday, a new week and a new start to my reading. I'm not going to get all pessimistic, but my April reading has been less than stellar so far. Lots of reading, but not a lot of things that I loved so much I couldn't wait to share them. Backlist, previously released books, continue to be my best reading. Having said that, I'm heading off into two very different reading ... Read More...
