Never Forget - A Moment of Silence

-

Apologies that this went up a day late. Yesterday was the anniversary of a day that frankly words cannot describe. To all of the first responders and people who helped each other 18 years ago, thank you. To all those lost, rest in peace. There truly are no words, and so the blog will be taking a brief hiatus this week as a version of a moment of silence. Never forget.

2019 Reading Challenge Reviews - Books 23 & 24

I'm really loving the Pop Sugar Reading Challenge. It's been helping me with a couple of reading related things I struggled with in the past. First, it's helping me always have a next book ready to read, so that I haven't hit a point so far this year where I don't know what to read next and end up reading nothing for a few weeks. Second, and perhaps more importantly, it's been helping me broaden my reading horizons and read books that I wouldn't normally have read. Many of these have been really interesting, and I'm so glad I took the time to check them out. For more information on the challenge, check out my Overview post, or visit the Pop Sugar website. Book 23:  The Friday Night Knitting Club  by Kate Jacobs I gave this book 3/5 stars on Goodreads. The prompt I chose for this was "A book about a hobby" This book was recommended to me by other individuals who are participating in the challenge as well. I wasn...

2020 Reading Challenge Reviews: Books 5 & 6

Hello readers!  As you can see from the title of this post, I skipped book 4. Book 4 was an ARC that I read through NetGalley that has it's own post two weeks ago. I like to try and review my ARCs as I finish them, and I try to read them in a reasonable amount of time for the author and publisher. This means, that sometimes the ARC reviews will cut in line from the other book reviews I post each week. (That's why my review for book 4 came before my review for book 3). Books 5 and 6 were both books I received from Book of The Month. I love Book of The Month, and recently became a BFF for getting 12 months worth of books from them. One of my goals this year is to try and keep up better with reading my Book of The Month books as I get them. Sometimes I end up deciding one book is just not enough, and get multiples a month though so I'm playing a little catch up right now. Here are my book reviews for my 5th and 6th books of 2020: Book 5:  Topics of Conversatio...

You can see the prompt list in my 2019 Reading Challenge Overview post or on the popsugar.com website. Here are my thoughts on the 19th and 20th books that I've read this year. Book 19:  Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.  by Bren é   Brown I gave this book 2/5 stars on Goodreads. The prompt I chose for this was "A Book by an author whose first and last names start with the same letter"  I'd heard amazing things about this book, and so when my sorority decided to read it for their book club I was excited to join in. The wait to get this book from the library was well over a month, and I took that as a good sign too that it was well loved and going to be a great book. Unfortunately, for me that was not the case. I love the occasional self-help or leadership book. When we find a good one, my boss and I recommend them to each other. I was hoping to be able to recommend this one to him, but sadly I found...
