I absolutely love to read aloud and always have. It’s so much fun to share a favorite picture book with a child. If there’s a little kid around and we have time, I’m likely to grab a book and say, “Wanna hear a story?” I’m always a little hesitant to choose favorites–of anything–because I’m afraid once I’ve declared my favorite…

I didn’t get my Recently Read list posted in August, so this is two months’ worth of reading. I’ve enjoyed a lot of random reading the last few weeks… review books that piqued my interest, interesting-looking titles tucked in Little Free Libraries, a number of juvenile titles, a few thrift store treasures, and of course, library books. My star ratings…

My summer reading list has included re-reads of old favorites as well as new-to-me authors and quite a few in between! As usual, this post includes affiliate links to Amazon. I might make a small commission if you click through on them, though it doesn’t cost you any extra. Thank you! My best recommendation from this past month’s reading list is…

I’ve been on a reading binge lately. But then, when am I not? I don’t know that I’m actually reading more than usual, but I have been enjoying the #bookstagram community on Instagram which keeps me inspired with #allthebooks to try and an ever-growing TBR (To Be Read) pile. The #annewithanereadalong2018 has been especially fun, as well as the #12daysofannestegram…

It’s been over two months since I posted a reading update. I doubt you’ve missed it. That’s okay. I’m not offended. Really. I mostly just make these reading posts for my benefit… and I like to do them once a month. But time gets away from me. Of course, if you’re a bibliophile like me, you could always follow me…

For the last couple of years I’ve been tracking my reading with GoodReads. I haven’t participated in any reading challenges lately and I haven’t set any reading goals. Mainly because I suspect I read too much already. There’s a quote from Louisa May Alcott that describes that condition: “She is too fond of books, and it has addled her brain.”…

Here’s a visual of what I’ve been reading the past couple of months. Out of this batch my favorite fiction title is A Time to Stand by Robert Whitlow. It is a legal thriller dealing with racial issues. I really liked several of the characters and appreciated the strong element of Christian faith throughout. I also highly recommend The Outdoor Adventure…

My summer has been so full with a wide variety of activities that it seems like I’m not getting as much reading done as I was during the winter and spring. I track my reading with the Goodreads app on my phone. I was surprised to see how much I actually have read the past couple of months when I…
