Life after loss with autism, preemies and a rainbow baby
Apparently books are my coping mechanism for all the things. I have read my way through the last few years like a negative on my COVID tests depends on it. Adding in audiobooks has probably tripled my book reading speed as well. I can’t stop you guys, someone take my Kindle. Actually don’t. My mental […]
The number of fiction books I’ve read over the last year says a lot about my need to escape all the things. I’ve had no problem surpassing my Goodreads reading challenge goal for the last few years, we’ll just leave it at that. Before my list of books you won’t be able to put down […]
This post and others like it may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support. I’ve been reading like crazy this year. Usually I’m freaking out in December about meeting my Goodreads goal but this year I was in the home stretch by July. To justify my crazy habit I figured I better give you […]
This post should be called “My favorite books since the last time I had time to write about books” but that doesn’t have the same ring to it. I’ve met my Goodreads goal for the year so it’s time to slow down and choose the ones I love. I haven’t done a “favorite books” post […]
I use to be pretty good at getting a post out of my favorite books two or three times a year. Now I’m lucky to get a post up about anything two or three times a year. If I’m not writing I’m living right? Or something more along the lines of reading everyone else’s books, getting to […]
The first time my kids emptied out their big sister’s books and made small towers of their reading selections they all still fit in my lap and there was no pressure to encourage anyone to sound out anything. Looking back this was such a luxury but I’m sure at the time I was wishing someone’s […]
I had planned to write a post soon after the New Year to give all of my “what to read next” recommendations but here we are two months in to 2016 and I’m finally getting my list together. At least I’ve read even more books so there’s more to chose from. Last year I set […]
I’ve been reading like crazy this year, thus my rare appearances on the blog. I set a crazy goal on Goodreads for 2015 and I hate losing even in a race against myself so I’m going to read 50 books even if my whole summer is spent under the glow of my Kindle. That actually sounds like […]
I just finished the book Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She’s “Learned” by Lena Dunham which was mildly exciting because there’s raging controversy about the book right now and I usually don’t hear about controversy until Cliff Notes are available. This time I was actually reading the book that was the center […]
I’ve had the book Rare Bird on my book shelf for months. Admittedly, I put off reading it. I knew Anna’s tragic story of losing her son, had read her beautiful words for years on her blog and had met her in person and talked and talked and talking about mothering and grieving. I was […]
