Life of a Reader
A Reader’s Review of Literature
I can’t believe you had so much fun being young. I just want to be old and rich and smell like butterscotch. Maggie Mayfield The Meaning of Maggie by Megan Jean Sovern It took me awhile to realize why I had a sense of deja vu while reading this book. It’s a junior fiction novel, […]
I didn’t quite make my goal of 52 books read last year, but I’m giving it a try again this year! I’ve got so many more books I want to read it’s almost painful to make a limited list. Below I’ve put down my top 25 books that I’m attempting to start and finish this year. It’s a fairly wide […]
Although neither of them had ever called their meeting a case of love at first sight, they’d both agreed it had certainly been a case of “pretty darn sure at first hour.” A First for Everything Sahara, starring Steve Zahn and Matthew McConaughey, is one of my favorite movies. We watch it as a family quite frequently. […]
It’s been so long since I finished my 24-hour readathon that I no longer have my time stamps for finishing my books, and I also forgot to write down the sixth book that I read. 🙂 Suffice it to say, I had a super fun time setting up this readathon for myself (even though it was three months ago . […]
My First Comic Book I’ve never liked the idea of comics. Visually they almost always give me a headache. Neither do I typically care for the methods of storytelling used in comics. However, even the greatest critic can come across something surprising and be the better for it. Cue Breaking Cat News! Have you ever wondered what cats are thinking […]
Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you can offer . . . Six Months What would you do if you were told the cancer was back and that you had 3-6 months to live? I would plan every trip I’ve been wanting to make, visit […]
And We’re Back Welcome back everyone! Here we are another week into my 24-hour readathon and I’ve only finished one more book, unfortunately. But that’s mostly because I read and finished one book, and then started two at once. 🙂 But let me quickly share the one book I did read with you. 1. The Guardian by Dee Henderson […]
Monkey See, Monkey Do My two most favorite bookstagrammers recently did 24-hour readathons, in which they read for as much time as they could in a single 24 hour span of time. It was very fun to “tag along” and watch how they did. I was also inspired to try something similar for myself. I didn’t think I would be able […]
Indeed, the safest road to Hell is the gradual one – the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts . . . A Problem of Doctrine Over the years, the Christian Evangelical community has expressed concern and shown reservation over the doctrine of C.S. Lewis. Oh don’t worry, they acknowledge and heavily […]
Books Galore In this new year of 2021, I am attempting to read 1 book a week. To keep track of my progress, I created this blog post! Every time I finish a new book, I will add it here, with the date I finished, and the star rating of how good I thought the book was (1-5 stars possible). […]
