How News is Like Strawberries

January 30, 2019 by Kenna Griffin

Strawberries aren't cheap. A regular-sized container costs about $5 at this time of year, depending on whether you can find them on sale. It costs less than $1 for an apple. You can get a banana for about 30 cents. Admittedly, they're no blueberries, which are $3 for a container half the size of the one strawberries come in, but still, I don't like … [Read more...]

My 22 Favorite Fiction Books of 2018

January 1, 2019 by Kenna Griffin

I say "casual" reading goal because I've found that, since making reading more intentional again with my first reading challenge in 2013, I can read 100 books a year without much planning or effort. The year I read 150 books was a bit crazy, so I'm not sure I want to … [Read more...]

My Favorite Books of October

December 5, 2018 by Kenna Griffin

There is nothing like cuddling under a blanket on the sofa, reading a good book and drinking a hot beverage. The colder months almost always mean I feel like I spend more time reading.
