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...

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...
