It's been a LONG time since I've posted.... but teaching & home-schooling is no joke. My sense is that lots of you get that.
I didn't reach my GoodRead goal of reading 50 books, but I got to 43, so I figured I'd share the list here. I change the categories up a little every year, but these were the ones that made the most sense this year. I didn't do many "heavy" books-- I definitely didn't have the desire or focus for that. Lots of escapism here :). The starred ones were my favorite, & I've linked to some other ones I suggest you check out, too. Happy reading! Mysteries The Family Upstairs- Lisa Jewell Then She Was Gone- Lisa Jewell The Night Fire- Michael Connelly Treason- Stuart Woods Bad Little Falls- Paul Doiron Shot in the Dark- Cleo Coyle The Perfect Wife- JP Delaney A Deadly Cliche- Ellery Adams Fiction The Dutch House- Ann Patchett The Forgotten Room- Karen White, Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig ***** Sex & Vanity- Kevin Kwan Light Fiction/ “Chick lit” Bridges of Madison County- Robert James Waller I Owe You One- Sophie Kinsella The Happily Ever After Playlist- Abby Jiminez ***** Love, Chocolate, & a Dog Names Capone- Abigail Drake Beach Read- Emily Henry Winter in Paradise- Ein Hilderbrand What Happens in Paradise- Elin Hilderbrand Troubles in Paradise- Elin Hilderbrand Island Affair- Priscilla Oliveras Sorry Not Sorry- Sophie Ranald No We Can’t Be Friends- Sophie Ranald It’s Not You It’s Him- Sophie Ranald Christmas Books Jingle All the Way- Debbie Macomber In a Holidaze- Christina Lauren It Started with Christmas- Jenny Hale Non-Fiction Thank You For My Service- Mat Best***** -- I did this one as an audio book & recommend doing it that way-- Best narrates & his inflection definitely adds to the story.

AuthorI'm so grateful to have you here with me. I LOVE being a mom, but I'm trying to still be "me" while being a mom, & this blog has been a tool for me to figure that out. Hopefully it's that for you, as well. I look forward to hearing from you so that I can make this blog meaningful for you. Thanks for being here! Archives
