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...

It’s Monday, April 3rd: What Are You Reading?

April 3, 2017

monday

  Another month, another Monday. I’m happy to report that we are going to be exploding into bloom any minute now in Seattle. Certain trees are already flowering but the narcissus, tulips and irises have all made their way towards the sun (when it spears) and look to be ready to explode. In the same way, I have high hopes for my reading in April and May. This month I’m ... Read More...

March Reading Recap

March 31, 2017

March

  I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t tell lion or lamb about March all month. We had warm warms and cold colds. My reading kind of felt the same way. On the one hand I read another 5 star book, but by and large consistency was not the name of the reading game because I stalled out on so many books. I also found myself turning more towards other media to fill my brain ... Read More...

February Reading Wrap-Up

March 1, 2017

february

  Month two of 2017 is a wrap and I'm happy to report that by-and-large my reading mojo is returning. Whether that's due to better books coming out or the fact that I've doubled the amount of time I spend working out to keep myself mentally sound while trying to deal with the toxic levels of fear and absurdity in our government right now, who knows? February was still ... Read More...

It’s Monday, February 13th: What Are You Reading?

February 13, 2017

reading

  Welcome to the second week in February and with the graphic above I’m giving you a not-too-subtle hint about my reading. Apparently, it’s Groundhog Day because I’m exactly where I was in January—still flailing with my reading. I’m reading plenty, but ‘work’ reading—upcoming releases, the books I read to discuss here and help other readers find—is almost non-existent. I ... Read More...
