2023 has started off quite bookishly. I love putting together these monthly reviews, mostly because it's interesting to see what I actually remember about books after I've finished them. Luckily, I have my notebooks to help me fill in the cracks. This post was easy to write because all of the books were memorable! Addy's... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Wrapping Up January & February Plans
Hello, February! We are a tiny bit closer to spring, but it looks like we will have to withstand some frigid weather before we can get there. I can't complain because our winter has been relatively mild, so I will do my best to grin and bear it (and to be thankful that I don't... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Catching Up
I didn't do a bookish update last week so I'm going to try to quickly catch up on what I've been reading. And I mean quick: it's 4:45 and Colton is already awake so my time is very short! Books Finished in the Last Two Weeks: Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow seemed like an epic... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Another Very Good Week (of reading)
Thank you for all of the well wishes on Monday! Bryce and Bronwyn are feeling much better. The rest of us are working our way in that direction. Colton is still staying home from school, so he's had quite a long stretch of being sick (tomorrow will mark a full week). I'm hoping that he'll... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Starting the Year Off Right
I don't usually publish my posts this time of day, but things have been a little upside down since the holidays. No complaints and nothing bad, just different! I'm capitalizing on a surprising free moment to scribble out this post and to share my weekly book update with you all. This year's reading has started... Continue Reading →
December 2022 Reading
Happy New Year! I meant to spend this weekend catching up on blogs and comments, but I spent almost no time at my computer. The weekend was full of baking, cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. and now I'm ready for the last day of our holiday before our typical routine resumes. Today's post is a quick... Continue Reading →
Favorite Books | 2022
I always hesitate to write these yearly wrap-ups before the year actually ends. What if the book I'm reading right now (Fellowship Point) deserves a spot on this list? (And it just might -- it is so good!) I suppose I could put it on next year's list if it stands the test of time?... Continue Reading →
2023 | Thoughts on a Bookish Year
I have a confession: I haven't had any interest in reading in the last week or so. The Winter Solstice has been creeping in and I've been honoring my desire to slow down. This week's to-do list is massive and I've been balancing that with my need for rest, so reading has taken a backseat.... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Rereading and Two Prizes
Hello! I'm so glad that I'd decided to skip Monday's post because things have been a bit off-kilter around here lately. I've had a bevy of sick kids since the end of last week and my daily rhythm has been different because of it. It's quite all right, of course, but it does make consistency... Continue Reading →
Bookish Chatter | Settling In For Winter
Welcome to Wednesday, friends. I'm starting to wrap my head around the fact that Christmas and the new year are just around the corner. That also means winter is nearly here and it's time to take stock of my indoor plans. I'm thinking about the stitching projects I have lined up as well as the... Continue Reading →
