Life of a Reader
A Reader’s Journey through the Chapters of Life
Whew, what a week! I worked only one day last week: Friday. It felt crazy weird and I’m still in a bit of a fog after having so many days off of work (long story short, I finally got the Rona!) Luckily, since I was not sick for very long, I was able to tackle many long-forgotten projects that had […]
Twenty-Eight Days to Hope in Your Home I just wrote a review for Dana K. White’s book Decluttering at the Speed of Life. I am forever changed after reading that book. So of course I picked up her other two books (one of them brand new and you can find it HERE, you’re welcome). I’m not done reading them quite yet, […]
I started down the path of becoming a movie connoisseur in 2021. I started my Christopher Nolan binge (worth it!) and realized that I love watching Andrew Garfield and Christian Bale on screen. I branched out. I watched movies I’d never heard of. I watched movies I never thought I would like. In stepping outside my usual comfort zone of […]
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 […]
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 . […]
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 […]
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). […]
Take Me Away! Welcome to August dear reading friends! What a quiet summer for me . . . at least on the blog. Life itself has not been quiet, and that’s why I’m taking a vacation! I’ve had two weekend getaways and spent seven days at Bible camp, but those did not provide the complete rest typical of an actual vacation […]
Old . . . and Boring? I’ve grown up on classic literature, and in fact spent the last three years of high school reading only classic literature. But you know what? I still get caught in the lie that classic literature is naturally boring, long-winded, and is not worth the time and effort it takes to read through it. It’s not […]
