September Reading Wrap-Up

Catherine — Fri, 02 Oct 2020 04:02:33 +0000

I’ve been tired of 2020 in virtually all my end-of-month posts, but Justice Ginsburg’s death in September pretty much broke me. I found some solace in reading, but some of my nonfiction choices indicate just how far this year has pushed things. There is no ‘normal’ in my reading right now as shown by […]

What I’m Reading in August

Catherine — Mon, 03 Aug 2020 04:37:04 +0000

Somehow August is already here and I don’t know if I think it’s too soon or what took so long. I’ve really lost the ability to process time. Also, apparently to dress myself as I went half a day with a tee shirt on backwards. Sigh. The good news is that my July reading […]

What I’m Reading in July

Catherine — Fri, 10 Jul 2020 04:29:45 +0000

I realize we’re already 10 days into July, but honestly, can you really tell at this point? If anything, the news feels as if we’re moving backwards. With no guidance or support from the federal government the first ‘wave’ keeps growing. Who knows what’s next? All of which means, I’m behind in sharing the […]

What I’m Reading This Week

Catherine — Mon, 22 Jun 2020 04:15:22 +0000

For the first time in a very long time, I have nothing bookish to share. Oh, I’ll get to what I’m reading this week, but my reading last week was so uninspiring it left me without a book to review today. Quite honestly, I feel drained. My ability to enjoy reading faltered in the […]

What I’m Reading in June

Catherine — Mon, 01 Jun 2020 04:41:11 +0000

Hello, June and welcome, summer. I’m not sure what to expect here in Michigan, but so far, humidity seems to be a very real thing. Thankfully, even though I’m not going anywhere anytime soon, I have a great crop of book lined up to start my summer reading. It’s a nice blend of authors I […]

What I’m Reading in May

Catherine — Mon, 04 May 2020 04:11:36 +0000

Another month and another chance to be optimistic about the reading that lies ahead! Of course, who knows what else this month is going to bring. From the looks of it, the states that haven’t re-opened yet are going to slowly start coming back to life. In Michigan we’ll see a partial re-opening on […]

COVID 19 Mini Book Break

Catherine — Fri, 10 Apr 2020 04:44:55 +0000

Good morning, lovely readers! Normally, I’d have an end-of-week book review for you today, but honestly, what’s normal these days? Unless you live in one of the states that is not following stay-at-home guidelines, you’ve likely been cooped up with family or on your own for weeks. Either way, it’s draining. Also, in my case, […]

Ten Spring 2020 Books I’m Ready to Read

Catherine — Wed, 01 Apr 2020 04:48:55 +0000

I’ve put a lot of words out there on this blog, but it’s getting harder these days. The circumstances happening around the world are so staggering, so beyond comprehension, that writing about books feels a little frivolous. Especially as, from what we’re hearing from experts (which does not include the megalomaniac in the White House), […]

What I’m Reading in March

Catherine — Mon, 09 Mar 2020 04:29:00 +0000

It’s no secret that my February reading was not great—mostly because I complained about it. But, let’s let that go and move on, shall we?! It’s March and there’s a crop of books coming out that I’m excited about (because I always get excited about new books!). Some of them you’ve probably heard about already, […]
