Bluebird Books

I've been working on coming up with some new content for the blog.  I want to use this space to connect with other readers and talk about books and writing.  However, I haven't actually been able to connect with anyone.   What content would you like to see here?  Do you prefer the reading recaps, lists, or posts that talk about the reading life?  Your feedback will help me so much!

I didn't get much reading done and I debated even posting a recap for this month.  Life got real and hard in ways I haven't experienced before.  My focus for the month was on putting out fires in my family, helping out when I could, and giving myself the time I need to process things.  So, I am proud of the three books I finished last month (and the one I abandoned).  White Houses I was not a fan of this book.  I finished it because it was small, but I did consider abandoning it.  It was chosen for my IRL book club which I didn't attend because: life.  I would have really loved to have gone and seen if everyone else disliked it or if they could have softened my opinion.
