Strength: Buying books and creating a huge TBR pile (er….TBR bookshelf). Struggle: actually reading the books I own (I’m often more motivated to finish library books before they are due) Here’s the thing- my shelves dedicated to books are full (hi spatial limit!) and in an effort to not add anymore clutter to my home- I need to read some books I already have to make some room. I actually set a goal to read 23 books I already have in 2023….and I’ve only read ONE. I love following book accounts on IG and Tik Tok and I’m constantly adding new books to my TBR list. I need to slow…

One thing I loved about my summer reading list was that it took away the decision fatigue that can sometimes accompany reading, you know when you think “So many books, so little time!” After I initially created the list of books, I didn’t have to overthink about it every time I was ready to start a new book- I could randomly choose one and know it would be one that I was interested in reading! My hope is that you can use this list in a similar way (or if a thriller heavy list isn’t your jam, use the more lighthearted summer list– or create your own!) Use this list,…

I love reading other people’s book recommendations and am always looking for books to read, so I thought I would share a few of my favorites from last year! You will notice that there are a wide variety of books, ranging from historical fiction to thrillers, and from more literary style reads to fast and fun reads.

Needless to say, regardless of what you like to read, I hope you will find something new to add to your TBR list! Very favorite…

I slowed down a little bit, reading wise, in July, but the four that I did read were ALL so good & despite the different genres I enjoyed and would recommend them all!

This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger This Tender Land is a historical fiction story of four orphans on their journey to escape from the Lincoln school-a school for Native Americans, most of which who were forcibly removed from their families.…

This was another big reading month for me with 7 books-thanks to ALL of my library holds coming in within a week or two! I ended up having to return several without reading them because I had just too many! This month’s books were a mix of some that I absolutley loved, as well as some books that I expected great things from, but ended up falling short. Here is June’s recap: All books are linked to Amazon; if you choose to purchase through my links I will make a small commission at no extra change to you. I appreciate your support!
