February 2023 Reads

March 5, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

February was a full month as I finished a few books I had been reading through January, as well as having my first visit to a local library and borrowing six books I hadn’t read before. This, of course, meant a flurry of reading and a neglect of the books at home I had already … Continue reading February 2023 Reads

Writing Refresh

January 26, 2023February 6, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 2 Comments

In the last six months, I haven’t written much outside of my blog. While I have wanted to, nothing ever stuck. I justify this by remembering I used so much energy in the move, settling in, and learning a new job. I was tired emotionally, mentally, and physically. There was a lot of change and … Continue reading Writing Refresh

December 2022 Reads

January 3, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

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

October 2022 Reads

October 29, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 2 Comments

I only just realised I haven’t posted a reading list since August. While my reading has slowed down a little bit, I am still reading everyday and slowly making my way through a few at a time. I generally read a chapter of a Christian book in the mornings, fiction during my lunch break, and … Continue reading October 2022 Reads

June 2022 Reads

June 24, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 2 Comments

I finished some books I had been reading for a while, as well as reading some children’s books for my next trimester at uni. Some were good, others were not – are we surprised? Christy by Catherine Marshall: I loved this! At the beginning I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get into the … Continue reading June 2022 Reads

April 2022 Reads

April 25, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

This was a great reading month! I think I said this recently, but I have loved reading more books of my choice and getting through the unread books on my to-be-read pile now that I have less to read for uni. I have been reading in my lunch breaks at work, as well as sometimes … Continue reading April 2022 Reads

The Books that are Good

April 13, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 6 Comments

Some books are universally “good”. They remain timeless stories written by skilled authors. But other books are good, not necessarily to the world, but to me, because of the memories associated with them. Often, what makes a book stand out is the impact it has on you at the time you read it. When I’m … Continue reading The Books that are Good

March 2022 Reads

March 31, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

This month involved books for university, but the opportunity for more leisurely reading as well, which is always a nice change. The Island of Doctor Moreau by H.G. Wells: A disturbing science-fiction for university about a man who ends up on an island full of creatures that are neither fully human nor animal. Not something … Continue reading March 2022 Reads

Prioritising Writing

February 23, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 2 Comments

At the beginning of the year, I didn’t really think about the fact that it was, in fact, a new year. I was more aware that I wanted things to continue as they were; a steady, slow walk where things didn’t change too much. I didn’t feel like making plans or reflecting on the year … Continue reading Prioritising Writing

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
