I finished the year well! Though I was 48 books off my goal of 100, reading 52 is an achievement. Here is what I read in December. Heidi by Johanna Spyri: This was such a precious read! I admit, the slow beginning took me a while to get into. But once I was in the … Continue reading December 2022 Reads
November 2022 Reads
I don’t think I’ll reach my goal of reading 100 books this year. With working full time, my free time is necessary elsewhere! With that being said, I love how intentional my reading has been. I read during my lunch break at work and again before bed. These feel like proper wind-down periods where I … Continue reading November 2022 Reads

I’ve been loving reading books about writing lately. Not only did I finish three, I’m currently in the midst of another three!

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

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
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.

Femininity: A List of Books
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
