I’ve been reading more lately, which is such a joy. While I don’t always feel like it, it is always worth it as soon as I begin. Christmas Shopaholic by Sophia Kinsella Yes, I bought Christmas books online that didn’t arrive until January. I’ve still enjoyed going through them, and even though I haven’t read … Continue reading January 2023 Reads
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
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

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
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.
