Hello book friends! And happy Monday! How was your weekend? The weather folks promised a rainy Sunday which had me so excited to sit and read by the window snuggled up with Kylee and my blankets. I was very disappointed to wake up to sunny skies. The day finally clouded up and gave me a… Continue reading Monday Morning Reading Check In

Rating: 3.5 / 5 ANNA KARENINA by Leo Tolstoy was January's pick for the #classicsbuddyread hosted by @freefallinreader.

THE SWALLOWS by Lisa Lutz
Rating: 3.5 / 5 THE SWALLOWS by Lisa Lutz was the second January book pick for the buddy read I help host over on bookstagram.

HOMEGOING By Yaa Gyasi
Rating: 5 / 5 HOMEGOING by Yaa Gyasi is a book I have had on my TBR for a few years. I have slotted into reading challenge prompts a few times and even bought a copy last year, but have always put it off for one reason or another. I put this one into my… Continue reading HOMEGOING By Yaa Gyasi

THE NEWSFLESH TRILOGY by Mira Grant
Rating: 4.5 / 5 I had previously posted a review for FEED by Mira Grant when it was December's book for the Deep Dark Reads buddy read on Instagram.

Monday Morning Reading Check In
Hello book friends! And happy Monday! How was your weekend? My weekend was good overall, but last night was rough. It is super windy here in SoCal and things were banging around outside all night long. My little pup Kylee was completely freaked out and kept waking me up for reassurance and when a plastic… Continue reading Monday Morning Reading Check In
AFTER THE FLOOD by Kassandra Montag

A friend then gifted me a copy and the cover really… Continue reading AFTER THE FLOOD by Kassandra Montag
My February TBR
We're already in the second month of the new decade... wow! February is of course the shortest month, but it's a little less short this year. I did pretty well with my ambitious TBR last month (and even finished a few I had planned for February) so I am not pulling any punches this month.… Continue reading My February TBR
