I'm sitting down to write this post on Monday, August 17 so these are all my five stars up to right now. I have 24 of them including three at the end that I would consider my six star reads. I also think I could potentially be reading two five stars right now (Paradise and… Continue reading My 2026 Five Stars (so far)

My boys went back to school today (Thursday) so I haven't devoted as much time to reading in the past week but I'm happy with what I got done.

July 2026 Wrap Up
I technically finished 8 books in the month of July but a few of them were already started prior to the month. Actually War and Peace took me about 18 months to complete because I really took my time with it. It was an intentional slow read on my part (although I was aiming for… Continue reading July 2026 Wrap Up

And I was able to reread the first book in a series that I really… Continue reading January 2025 Wrap Up

Thankfully, my work schedule goes back to normal next week so I will have so more time to devote to other things. But for now let's do… Continue reading September 2024 Wrap Up
August Wrap Up
Last month was a whirlwind. My kids went back to school and on a whim I applied for a job and got it so I'm now working a few days a week. I haven't had a weekly paycheck in 11 years so it's been a bit of adjustment but I've been enjoying getting out of… Continue reading August Wrap Up
Progress Report: Summer TBR
Back in May I put together a list of 12 books that I wanted to read this summer. I am proud to say that I only have three books left on that list!
