April 2023 Reads

May 6, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Children at Green Meadows and Secret of Moon Castle by Enid Blyton These were two books I never read as a kid, and I enjoyed them immensely. Enid Blyton’s stories are so entertaining and made me not want to put the books down! Children at Green Meadows is a comedic story of a family who, … Continue reading April 2023 Reads

February 2022 Reads

February 28, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

February was a great month for reading. In part because uni starts today and I wanted to start the trimester well, but also because I prioritised reading books I wanted to read. Bondage Breaker by Neil T. Anderson: This book discusses steps Christians can take to break the power of sin over their lives. While … Continue reading February 2022 Reads

January 2022 Reads

January 28, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 3 Comments

The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins: I thoroughly enjoyed the previous work I read of Wilkie Collins, The Woman in White. The stories are very different, but have a similar pattern; numerous narrators telling the story as it moves forward, allowing the reader to see different sides of the same characters, and different aspects of society. … Continue reading January 2022 Reads

December 2021 Reads

December 29, 2021January 21, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Since being on holidays, I have gotten back into reading somewhat. Sometimes we just need the right book to get us back into the rhythm of reading, and I’m so glad that’s happened to me. I’m aware that when I head back home and prepare for university next year, I will need to read numerous … Continue reading December 2021 Reads

Femininity: A List of Books

December 1, 2021 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

A couple of weeks ago I posted a list of movies that feature women who showcase their femininity in different, inspiring ways, and I wanted to do the same with books! Of course, there are so many books I could talk about, but I’ll try to keep this relatively short. If you have any others, … Continue reading Femininity: A List of Books

September 2021 Reads

September 29, 2021January 21, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 2 Comments

I finished reading one book this month, and it was a short story of only 70 little pages. It would have gone unread on my shelf, only I had to reference it in my final assignment of the trimester, so I dutifully read the entire thing. I loved it. Bartleby, the Scrivener written by Herman … Continue reading September 2021 Reads

July 2021 Reading

July 28, 2021January 21, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

I’ve read a lot this month, and it’s proven to be rewarding and enjoyable. Here are my reviews: American Gods (American Gods #1) by Neil Gaiman My rating: 2 of 5 stars I had to read this fantasy fiction for uni; it isn’t something I would naturally gravitate towards. I tend not to read things … Continue reading July 2021 Reading

May 2021 Reading

June 3, 2021January 21, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

The beginning of May did not offer much hope for reading. I felt like I was barely scraping through, hardly picking up anything. But something changed and it ended up being a very big month for reading, which I loved. It really is such a big part of my life. It’s one of the main … Continue reading May 2021 Reading

April 2021 Reading

April 29, 2021January 21, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

I read a lot in April because I had my wisdom teeth taken out and I chose to spend the following week reading! It was a good time, and now I’m very ahead on my goal to read 52 books this year. There are lots of books this month, so if you’re still reading by … Continue reading April 2021 Reading

March 2021 Reading

March 24, 2021January 21, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

This was a slow month. I finished three books but haven’t made too much progress with what I’m currently reading, either. But that’s okay! Here’s what I read. Breath (James Nestor) I gave 4 of 5 stars. This was an entertaining yet factual book exploring the science and history behind breathing; both the good and … Continue reading March 2021 Reading
