What Do You Think?

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 would love some direction before I dive deeper with the blog this summer and I think you can help me.  Let me know in comments what's working for you--and what isn't.

Reading Recap: February Edition

Image
February was interesting...a short month, with very weird weather.  I got a little bored with one book and a little frustrated with another so I wasn't sure how many I would actually finish.   ***disclaimer****  It really doesn't matter how many books you finish in a month.  I would shamelessly post one if that was what I felt up to reading.  One of the things I love about reading is that I can control how many books I read in any given season.  And believe me, there were seasons with 0...I'm looking at you, newborn mom years.  Please don't feel pressured to read more--that is when the magic of reading is dimmed.   My number this month is 5 and that seems like a lot.  But it's also kind of cheating because two of them were audiobooks that I had started months ago.   Here are the books I read this month: Belong to Me This was the frustrating one.  I did not enjoy this.  I was outright annoyed by some of the characters and plotlines.  With

 Here we are again! I remembered this recurring post! Yay for me! Yay for you! Reading I'm 50% through two very good books right now.  I started Empire of Pain a while ago and I am riveted every time I pick it up. It's dense though, and a little depressing--like, how did we let this happen??? I should finish it up in the next two weeks but we'll see. This one requires lighter reads sprinkled in now and then so it may take me a little longer. I'm in no rush. The other book I'm currently reading is 11/22/63  by Stephen King. I read this before bed each night and it is fun! There are definitely some creepy vibes and few scenes I needed to read in the safety of daylight, but mostly it's thought-provoking and plot-driven in the best way. It's nearly 900 pages so I didn't expect it to be a quick read, but still, I'd love to finish by the first week of September so I can move on to King's new release that's getting a lot of love from people I follo

What I Read: March 2022

 The saying goes that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb. This March was pretty lion-y all the way through. 🦁🦁🦁  Here's what I read while I tried to stay warm and navigated my way through a month marked by college auditions for my oldest and our family's reckoning with COVID. 1. The Sentence by Louise Erdrich ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was our March book club book but I had bought it the second it came out because I was just coming off a high from The Night Watchman . The Sentence tells the story of Tookie, a Native American woman who works at Louise Erdrich's bookstore . Louise Erdrich herself was a character (one of my favorites). Anyway, Tookie is haunted by a ghost in the bookstore and ghosts from her past. This happens at a time marked by riots and racism and the pandemic. It's a lot. Erdrich's writing hits me hard. I love the graceful way she illuminates things I had no idea about. I love the characters she creates and captures. I love the worlds sh
