It’s the dilemma of every bookworm: too many books to read, and never the time to read each one. I suppose it’s a good problem to have, but it pains me to think of how many stories and ideas and lovely passages of prose will eventually go unread by me. Even if I continue to… Continue Reading
We’re closing out this week of book reviews with some really awesome reads covering a range of genres. All but one of these books is by an author whose works I’d previously loved; it’s always a relief when a beloved author is able to live up to their own reputation. All six of these titles… Continue Reading
And we’re back for Round Two! This is an eclectic batch of reviews: three thrillers and three nonfiction books about topics that likely won’t relate to your life (two of them didn’t relate to mine), but are still worthwhile reads. The Dating Manifesto: A Drama-Free Plan for Pursuing Marriage With Purpose, by Lisa Anderson: Since I’ve been… Continue Reading
I hope you’re ready for some book reviews, because I’ve got eighteen of them headed your way this week! Today’s batch contains all books that I mostly liked or completely loved. Every one of them is strong enough to recommend. Let’s get right into the reviews! How to Walk Away, by Katherine Center: Margaret Jacobsen has… Continue Reading
There are many, many reasons why reading is my favorite pastime, but one of the most treasured aspects of my reading life is that books are always teaching me something new.

We’re closing out the week with reviews of six books that I thoroughly enjoyed. I hope you will, too!

Welcome to Part One of this month’s roundup of quick(ish) book reviews. There are a couple of strong reads here, as well as a few books I would have a hard time recommending. I sometimes question my decision to share reviews of the books I TRULY hated: I wouldn’t want someone to see a book highlighted… Continue Reading
I shared our first round of Quick Kid Lit last month, and I had so much fun putting that post together that I think I might make it a regular blog feature. As I mentioned in that post, Charleston and I plow through the picture books at a rate of at least a dozen library books… Continue Reading
We’re closing out this week of book reviews with a spectrum of titles, including one that I adored, a few that I was on the fence about, and one that simply wasn’t for me. Let’s get to ’em! The High Season, by Judy Bluendell: Ruthie Beamish, her almost-ex-husband Mike, and their daughter Jem live in a… Continue Reading
I thoroughly enjoy reading book reviews, sometimes more than I enjoy reading the books themselves. But I have this odd quirk: I prefer to read reviews of books I’ve already read. For instance, when I come across another blogger’s Reading Round-Up, I immediately skip down to the titles that are familiar to me. It’s fascinating… Continue Reading
