Summer is here, my favorite time of the year, and not only because it is an excuse to read beach books by the pool. In fact, I don’t think I’ve read any books by the pool or at the beach for that matter. Both of which will need to be resolved quickly. This July I […]

13th Challenge: June’s Chapter
My reading has decreased since I got a puppy, but then, so has my sleep. On one hand, I feel like I should be spending my days reading, while amazingly attractive men feed me grapes. On the other hand, reality. I think I mentioned before that I neared the end of my “fun” book categories […]
13th Challenge: May’s Chapter
Who would have thought that getting a puppy would cut down on my reading? It’s true. Suddenly my time is spent throwing the ball, going on countless walks, playing, brushing, and my pockets are always filled with puppy treats. When I don’t have pockets, there is frequently a small bag of puppy treats tucked into […]
13th Challenge: April’s Chapter
April was a month of more work and less reading. I’m already more than halfway done with the reading challenge, which gives me time to slow down and enjoy my time, and the books more. Also, I have finished the easier categories, and am now reaching the categories I’ve put off, e.g. “Read a classic you’ve never […]

Of finally paddling a […]
Reading 50 Books: February’s Chapter
Continuing my reading challenge for the year, I found that February was a month filled with the magic of books and vacation. It was also the month of travel and stress that pushed me to long workouts and evenings spent diving headfirst into books late into the night. My February books can be classified into […]
The Thirteenth Challenge
Lucky 13 is the reading challenge. Like a ninja, it is stealthy, and has been hidden in the background, waiting until it can spring up and kick my ass if I procrastinate. The 13th Challenge spans all 12 months. We have to read 50 books in one year, to fulfill categories such as: Award winning […]
2015: A Year of Falling in Love (but not how you’re thinking)
I’ve always read a lot. When I was younger, we practically lived at the library and the beach over summers. I kicked ass at summer library reading challenges. It was a competition, and it involved books, of course I was in it to win. Even if “winning” only meant stickers and satisfaction. Over the years […]
