Looking back, it seems that every year I have the same issue. All summer, June – August, I barely read. On the rare occasion I do pick up a book more often than not I DNF it. I don’t know what it is about summer but it makes me miserable and when I am unhappy I don’t want to read or do much of anything, quite frankly.

April, I think, is a month that brought many of us new challenges. With social distancing, face masks, and work changes all happening very quickly it was difficult to keep up with all of the new policies and rules and to get used to a new way of living day to day life. Personally, I’ve learned to enjoy curbside pickup although the feeling of panic when someone gets too close to you in public is something I doubt I’ll get used to.

Choosing to not finish reading a book once you have started it has been a hot topic with readers for as long as I can remember. Once I joined the book blogging community it became even more apparent what a minefield of a topic it was.

I am ashamed. I put this tag into my drafts folder months ago and complete forgot to note where I found it. Yikes! All I know is that it was on someone named Jade’s blog. Jade, if you’re out there, let me know so I can link back to you!
Since I am currently feeling a little under the weather I decided to do a simple tag today. My brain is in a fog and I’m lucky enough to know my name right now, no less be witty about some bookish things. Without further ado… Continue reading
Here we are, the end of October, and only two months left this year. Terrifying concept, isn’t it? I swear, the older I get the faster and faster time goes. I’m sure we could get into a whole discussion about how all time is relative but that is far too big of a hole to be jumping into today. Instead, lets have our October Reading Wrap Up!

Hello and welcome to Top Ten Tuesday! This week’s topic is Ten Books I Struggled to Get Into But Ended Up Loving or Ten Books That Were A Chore To Get Through or Ten Books I’ve Most Recently Put Down (the theme is…books you had a hard time with…tweak it how ever you need) which is, of course, brought to us by The Broke and the Bookish. We all have those books that we open up, expecting to enjoy, and then they turn into a chore to read. Some of them we get through, some of them we don’t. Today I’ll give you the books that became a chore for me to read, whether I finished them or not.
"To read would be an awfully big adventure."
