It seems like no matter what I do, Goodreads tells me I’m four books behind on my reading challenge. Apparently, I’m perpetually four books behind. Make it make sense. But I’m not going to fret about it. I’m just going to keep on reading until I meet that goal! Plus, it’s super early in the year, so there’s a lot of reading still … [Read more...]
My Favorite Books of March
I don’t remember reading in March. I guess it’s not surprising, given how late this monthly review is coming. I know I read every month, but March feels like a blur. I think it rained a lot, or maybe it was just overcast. My perpetual state during this time of year is waiting for the sun. Either way, I got some reading … [Read more...]

I set the goal — my highest ever — because I saw readers on TikTok bragging about having read 200 books in a year. I’m a competitive gal, so I took it as a double-dog dare. Of course, now I see … [Read more...]
My Favorite Books of November
I've been on a reading spree! Ok, the truth is that I'm trying to reach my 2023 reading goal of 200 books, and I'm down to the wire. Luckily, I've been traveling a lot in the car, which makes audiobooks essential to my happiness and ability not to just open the door and jump out. I hate car trips!

My Favorite Books of September
September is kind of a weird month. Oklahoma couldn’t decide if it was summer or fall, so I read in the pool and covered up with a blanket on the sofa while it was cold and raining. Since I’m a summer lover, I guess I should be grateful that summer kept reappearing all month. It looks like fall will arrive in October, and … [Read more...]
