Hi, How is your summer reading coming along? I got an email the other day from Goodreads to let me know that I am behind on meeting my 2017 reading goal. I haven’t done as much reading as I had planned this summer, too many other activities to distract me. So when my paperback copy …

Do you read most of your books on an e reader or do you prefer to hold an actual book? I am an e reader girl only because it is so convenient. I can read from my phone if I am sitting somewhere; the kindle is so easy to travel with and it holds all …
Happy June! Summer is just around the corner and I am ready, hope you are too! Have you found any great summer reads that you can recommend? In the last few weeks I finished a book for book club and it was not good, so didn’t want to share it with you. Life is too …
Happy Tuesday! I have been lazy lately and not getting much reading done. Bee’ing a little sluggish on the book I am currently reading. I’m having trouble getting in to it, which is a surprise as it is written by an author I really enjoy. But I do want to share a book that I …

Happy Valentines Day! I hope you all are having a special day. In honor of Valentines Day I was excited to share a new romance novel with you, but surprisingly See Me by Nicholas Sparks is more thriller than romance. Nicholas Sparks books seem to grab me and not let me go until I finish …
