Oh my, I certainly did read a lot this month! There were some excellent books in October, including a new Irish police procedural series I discovered. I can’t wait to share with you, so let’s dive in. The first three books I read were perfect for “spooky season”. I don’t particularly care for horror or […]
I simply could not wait until the end of the month to recommend these great October books. Honestly, these were all so good, I strongly suggest that you pick up one or more of them for the perfect seasonal reads for autumn! I am not going to go too much into plot detail here, just […]
Do you track your reading? I’ve been tracking the books I read for the past 10 years or more and I love looking back at my lists and see how my taste has changed and how much time I have had in my life each year for reading. For the past few years I have […]
I’ll be the first to admit it, September was a slow reading month for me. I didn’t read as many books as I typically do, and my choice of books was on the lighter side, with a couple of exceptions. The reason for my reading slump was the fact that I was so preoccupied with […]
Hi everyone, welcome to my Books of August 2025 reviews. I only read 10 books this month, but I think you are going to really enjoy some of them, as I certainly did. I read 5 books in print and the other 5 on my Kindle. More than half of these books were 4 stars […]

June was a great reading month. I definitely moved out my desire for lighter fiction this month! I finished my typical eleven books, and most of them were quite good. I read six books in print and five in digital format. There were a few real standouts, a few that were solid 4 stars, and […]
In an attempt to gain peace of mind, i have decided to try to focus on one quilting project at a time for a while. Maybe if I feel like i am progressing towards a finish, I will feel less overwhelmed by all my myriad of projects. I decided to go with the Strawberry Garden […]
It seems like I just posted my books of April! This month has sped by, and I have nine finished books to show for it. Lots of happy things distracting me: house guests, graduation, my kids' birthdays, a family wedding and more. Fun for sure, but they didn't leave me quite as much time to […]
I read my typical eleven books in April. One audiobook, four in print, and six books on my Kindle. I am either a high grader or am getting really good at picking out books, because honestly, there wasn't a bad one in the bunch. I think many of you will really enjoy this selection of […]
