Hello books of 2021. I cannot wait to meet you! What a year 2020 was. My reading was definitely affected at various points throughout the year. There were the months were I read 10+ books as I sought to escape into light, sweet stories. There were also a couple highly stressful months at work where... Continue Reading →
Goodreads Monday (20): The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows
I don't think I've seen a negative review of this book written, not that I've gone looking. Reviews I've seen by other bloggers rave about it. I've been quite a sucker for WWII historical fiction so I had to add this to my list. With the Netflix film out, I have added incentive to get... Continue Reading →
Reading Challenges Update: Am I Keeping Up?
Like many others, I started 2020 full of expectations and excitement about my reading lists. I can safely say that progress through my TBR has been far more successful than the actual reality of the year 2020. More than a one-third into the year, it's time to check on where I've gotten with these goals.... Continue Reading →
2019 Goodreads Challenge 2020
Another year in reading adventures begins! Last year I ended up seriously limiting how many author requests I took on and joined less blog tours (for reviews). I needed the flexibility to be a bit more moody in my reading selections and I wanted to start catching up on some series I'd fallen behind on.... Continue Reading →
Goodreads Monday (16): Zorro by Isabel Allende
Take a favourite author of mine and cross it with one of my favourite television shows from when I was a child (Oh I did enjoy the Catherine Zeta Jones and Antonio Banderas movie too) and I've got a book I absolutely must read! I've got a lovely hardback just waiting for attention. Soon, soon,... Continue Reading →
Goodreads Monday (15): The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
I saw this book mentioned on another blogger's site some time ago. I looked it up, thought it sounded like one I'd enjoy reading with my kids, bought a used copy... and it's been collecting dust on my bookshelf since then! I'll get to it soon... I put it on my list for this month.... Continue Reading →
Read and TBR for August and September
Why does work have to get in the way? Lol. I think I'd be much happier with a two-day work week and a five day weekend to catch up on my reading, reviewing and blogging. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone on this one đ. Unfortunately my blogging time is even more limited now with... Continue Reading →
2019 Reading Challenges – Update
With the first third of the year up, I figured I was well past due for a challenge check-in. I published a post about which ones I'd be participating in at the beginning of the year and I'm pleased to say, I'm doing okay. Goodreads Challenge 2019 I'm pretty happy about this one and can...

Remember November #RemNovember
Kathy from Books & Munches hosts reading challenges each month (and provided that cute featured image).  The last one I did was in February, I believe.  I saw this coming month's challenge and knew I had to give it a try too.  November's challenge is called Remember November. The challenge is pretty straightforward: all you... Continue Reading →
