Yes, a process that took me forever to come to terms with and then figure out for myself, I’m finally ready to share with you how I annotate my books. I do want to preface by saying that I don’t annotate every book. Aside from a funny or prolific line in general fiction, I find…

Over the years, I’ve reread maybe three books? I’m not a huge rereader and not because I don’t want to be. I definitely want to get into the stories I’ve loved and cherished, but for some reason, I never make time for them. This year, I made it one of my goals to actually reread…

Recently, I finished reading a book that I absolutely loved. I loved it so much I already knew it would be one of my favorites of the year. And I went and did what I usually do, go to Goodreads, mark it as Read, rate it, and check what other people thought about it. Turns…

This month has been a bit of a struggle when it comes to reading books. I’ve picked up about six books and put down three. I wasn’t feeling them! I tried to read them, but they didn’t capture me or set my mood. I wanted to spend more time doing something else than reading the…

What are you doing this year? I’m already thinking about ours and planning a super low key Thanksgiving with me and my husband. Instead of the traditional meal,…

If you’re a huge fan of reading like I am, then you want to spend as much time as you can possibly muster into reading your book. You carry it with you everywhere you go. You open your e-reader app on your phone whenever you’re forced to wait anywhere. You might even create a space…

Happy Monday! Last week, I decided to take some time off to recharge. I was trying to decide if I should post something about it, but I decided to just go ahead and take the time off. Let me tell you, it was time so well spent. I feel like I’ve been taking more mental…

Over the years, I’ve told you about my reading journal. It’s a physical journal I kept while I read to jot down notes, put my thoughts down, and have a single place I can turn to see what I’m reading. But I have a confession to make. I’ve gone digital…and I love it. The reason…
