Happy New Year to all my bookish peeps!

If We Were Having Coffee. . .

I’d tell you that I’m glad 2017 is over. It was a rough year. 2018 has started off a little rocky, but I think things will settle down shortly.

Let’s see there are quite a few things going on in my personal life, but the two things I’m most excited about are: I resumed my flute lessons and an upcoming opportunity at work.

Bout of Books is a one-week read-a-thon beginning Monday, August 21st at 12:01 am (your time zone) and ending Sunday, August 27th. And the best part is it’s low-pressure. There are challenges (optional), giveaways, and a grand prize.

Thank you to all that voted on the books I would read for the Make Me Read It and Bout of Books readathons and for the month of August.

The Make Me Read It readathon. It’s hosted by  Ely @ Tea & Titles and Val @ The Innocent Smiley runs from August 6th – 13th. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 4 months since the last Bout of Books and excited for BoB20, which will run from August 21-27. I’m sure it’ll be just as much fun.

Without further adieu, the breakdown. . . Continue reading →

Hooray!🎉 I mean Awww 😔Bout of Books 19 is over. This was my first time participating and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, connected with some really cool bloggers and got more reading suggestions.

I didn’t get all the books read, but some are better than none, right? And it’s so satisfying to get a few of the books on my TBR list read.
