Hi, friends!! February was not my best reading month and I’m not expecting big accomplishments in March either, unfortunately. Life has become quite hectic with kids’ sports and I find that I’m struggling to stay awake long enough at night to read much. I can’t seem to focus when I have time to actually read…

2020 Beat the Backlist TBR
This will be my second year competing in Novel Knight‘s Beat the Backlist Challenge. This year I hope to be a bit more organized and not constantly adding books to my list, rather than reading the ones I have. The only category I’m hoping to add to is the audiobook category once I’ve finished those…
November Recap + December TBR
Hi, my friends! Here we’re headed into the last month of 2019, and it’s time to start reflecting on our favorite books of the year. I don’t know about you, but I love the end of the year for this reason. It’s fun to see what I’ve accomplished, what I didn’t, and what I hope…
October Recap + November TBR
Whew! October was a rough reading month for me. I’m trying to lower my sky-high standards because I know I still read more than the average person is able to accomplish in a month, but it was still the slowest month I’ve had in years. I’ve been DNFing books like crazy and I haven’t particularly…
September Recap + October TBR
Hi friends! I’m not sure about you, but September flew by for me! I’m happy with the serious progress toward my Beat the Backlist Challenge this month, helping my Gryffindor team remain in the lead! Yay! I was bummed to have to DNF two books I was extremely excited about reading. I stuck it out…

Nowhere But Here – Review
I’m continuing to make my way through Renee Carlino’s backlist for my Beat the Backlist Challenge. I picked this one because the blurb sounded really exciting. A reclusive genius, sign me up! BLURB: A Chicago reporter in her mid-twenties unexpectedly finds love in Napa Valley when she’s assigned to spend a week with a famously…
Before We Were Strangers – Review
FINALLY! FINALLY – I understand the hype surrounding this book and I’m here to tell you it is warranted. I’ve had Before We Were Strangers on my TBR and Kindle for years but never made the time to read it. I’m kicking myself for my poor time management because I could have reread it by…
May Recap + June TBR
Adios May, the busiest month of life. It was hard to focus much on reading in May because life was hectic and there was much uncertainty that often comes with the end of the school year. I couldn’t seem to turn my brain off to focus much on reading. Somehow I managed to finish reading…
The Passage – Review
While perusing the shelves of my library, I discovered they had a copy of The Passage, a book that has been sitting on my TBR shelf for over three years. That day, I decided not to check it out because I felt like I already had too much to read. When I returned home, I…
I’d Rather Be Reading – Review
Who knew reading about reading could be so much fun? Of course, us bibliophiles knew it would it would be a worthy experience. That’s precisely why Anne Bogel’s book is huge among bookstagrammers and book lovers everywhere right now. I finally decided I needed to cave and buy this book (what book buying ban?) after…
February Recap + March TBR
What a delight! The shortest month became one of my best reading months. I’ve been eager to get my hands on anything and everything in February. I think it’s safe to say the slump I experienced in January is over! I learned I need to be able to mood read more often to improve my…
January Recap + February TBR
I keep seeing the meme joking about January being about 85 days long, but it is so true. January has been one of the longest-feeling months I’ve experienced in quite some time – not necessarily all bad, but long and challenging. I didn’t read nearly as much as I hoped I would this month. However,…
2019 Beat the Backlist TBR
2019 is here and it’s time to put my plans to work. At the end of the year, I decided I would participate in NovelKnight‘s Beat the Backlist Challenge and Hogwarts House Mini Challenge to clean up my TBR a bit and knock out the books I’ve been wanting to read for years on my…
2019 Beat the Backlist
Like any avid reader, I’m already prepping my 2019 to be read list, eagerly anticipating new releases from my favorite authors, like Amy Harmon’s What the Wind Knows. Though I’m eager for new releases, I desperately want to exercise self-control and finally check off the books that have been gathering dust on my shelves at…
