Hosted by Kathryn at Book Date To say that last week knocked me on my reading butt is an understatement. I began the week trying to recover from a reading hangover and foolishly stuck with a book that did me no good. Worse, I finished it, making it a 'hate read'- because I knew it was not a good book, but was determined to see it through (I have no idea why). By midweek I ... Read More...
Riding Out a Reading Slump
A new week and I’m stuck riding out a reading slump. I’m caught in a perfect storm of not reading for two reasons. One, I have a book hangover after finishing the amazing Where the Crawdads Sing. If you’re not familiar with this phenomenon, it’s when you read something so immersive and well-written that your brain rejects any other book until it has completely ... Read More...

We're being very low key here in Seattle, but that's one of my favorite ways to go because it means more time for reading.

It’s Monday, April 2nd: What Are You Reading?
Good morning, lovely readers! A new week and a new month. Monday is usually the day I post a review of a book I loved but last week I was stuck with reading that left me either riled or meh—not what I look for in a Monday book.
