Top Ten Tuesday: Signs You’re a Book Lover
Today’s theme is interesting because it doesn’t focus on sharing titles, rather sharing ideas about what it means to be a bibliophile. I think this can be different for everyone, but for me, it looks a little like this: Keeping books on my bookshelf that I might read someday. Let’s…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/30/2020
Last Week I did it! I read more than 0.5 of a book! On Monday our Governor put our county under a stay at home order which, honestly was the best thing to happen. Once I got everything figured out staff-wise and technology-wise, I was a lot calmer this week.…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/9/2020
Last Week It’s been a very busy week which definitely slowed by reading down. This week, I spent a lot of time catching up on stuff at work and when I was home, I was getting some spring cleaning done. I did manage to read a few books this week…

Top Ten Tuesday: Books With Single-Word Titles
I love it when a Top Ten Tuesday theme makes me look at books a little differently! Books With Single-Word Titles had me thinking about the power of words and how much of the story you glean just from the title of a book. I love that these single-word titles…

Top Ten Tuesday: Books That Gave Me a Book Hangover
A book hangover, for those who aren’t familiar, is when you finish reading a title and you just can’t bring yourself to pick up another book. The book you just finished sticks with you as you mull over characters, plot, setting, etc. I’m a pretty fast reader, so when a…
