Somehow February has become a dreary month, both for my reading…and well, everything. Bad news and toxicity all around. We’ve been fortunate not to get much snow here in Ann Arbor, but where we live there’s nothing but brown and gray for miles, with a sullen sky overhead. I’m grateful we’ve had very little snow and only a few days with temperatures in the teens, but these ... Read More...
The Sun Down Motel
I was going to call today and Wednesday's posts 'The Saints that Saved My Reading', but decided my odd sense of humor might not translate well. You see, I’ve been experiencing Goldilocks reading—everything is too much or not enough and it’s annoying. That is until last week when the saints arrived.

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
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...
