My Favorite Books of December

January 4, 2023 by Kenna Griffin

It’s tough going into the last month of the year knowing that you aren’t going to meet your reading goal. That’s exactly what I did this year. I went into December somehow holding out hope that I could read 32 books to reach my 150-book total. Never mind that I average like 11 books a month. Ah, forever the optimist. I didn’t get far into the … [Read more...]

Life has been weird since 2020, am I right? Imagine my surprise when I sat down to plan for 2023 and realized that I hadn’t reviewed goals since 2019. That can’t be a coincidence, can it? I felt the need to return to being intentional this year. To help focus myself, I adopted a single word and a set of goals for 2023. Self-Love: My Word … [Read more...]

I have a dirty little secret that I probably share with many other writers and editors. I can sit at my desk for hours without getting up. The hardest ring to close on my Apple Watch is that blue stand one. I'm glued to my computer with my rear in my chair for most of the day. I know how unhealthy it is to sit all day, but I don't seem to feel it … [Read more...]

My Favorite Books of October

November 3, 2022 by Kenna Griffin

There's just something about reading in the fall. I love curling up on the sofa with a blanket on my lap and a book in my hand. Maybe that vibe is why October was such a productive reading month. I read 15 books in October. Of those, I gave three perfect grades. Best Books of October 2022 I gave one nonfiction and two fiction books … [Read more...]

I'm a little down about reading right now. It's because I've realized that it's virtually impossible for me to reach my 2022 reading goal. I don't like not doing what I set out to do. Does anyone? I wanted to read 150 books again this year. You may remember that I read 150 books in 2014. It was my last formal reading challenge, even though I've … [Read more...]
