14 Books That Will Leave You Challenged, Inspired and Ruined
People read books for a variety of different reasons, for some they like light and fluffy books to escape from life, for others they like deep books that challenge them and others, like myself, like a mix of the two. Today I wanted to share a list of books that have challenged, inspired and ruined my life. If you want some non-light reading, this list is for you. That being said, these books aren’t hard to read because they are written poorly or written as text books. They are hard to read because they have been written in a way that makes you analyze your life. It’s easy to see…
The Books I Read in November and My Reading Goal for 2019
Oddly I didn’t really take any pictures of the books I read in November, so here’s a photo of a library in Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Netherlands instead. Add that to my to-travel list . . . I’ve been thinking a lot about goals for 2019 and I one of my reading goals for the year is actually to read less books. Whenever I watch You’ve Got Mail I always get hung up on this one line: So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn’t it be the other way around? I actually think about that line a lot. That really is a big fear of mine.…
The Books I Read in October
These reading wrap ups are really showing me how quickly the months are flying by. I kept wanting to type “The Books I Read in September” for the title of this post, but that was last month, this is October’s reading wrap up. I’ve been filming a few book videos lately. I had my fall book haul and I made a November TBR list and have considered doing a reading wrap up video at some point down the road, we’ll see. Anywho, October was another really good reading month. I feel like I’ve finally figured out the type of books I like to read, I think learning to stop quitting…
Fall Book Haul – Tons of Classics!
So, about a month ago or so I stumbled across the whole BookTube world. To say that it may have changed my life does not seem too dramatic. I quickly got sucked into watching tons of videos about books and came away really excited to dive into reading more classics. Reading more classics has been a goal of mine for the last two-ish years, and I started two local book clubs as a result (one of which quickly fizzled cause people didn’t show up and the other is still going strong). But, I still wanted to read more and the last few weeks have resulted in a really great classics to…

The Books I Read in September
Well, September was a good reading month! I read eleven books and in this round-up I’m also including one that I finished October 1st – Girl, Wash Your Face, because there are so many conflicting and controversial thoughts and reviews on it and I wanted to share my opinion on it. I also learned a lot about myself as a reader this month. For the first time ever I decided to stop being a person who quits books. I quit a lot of books in August and ended up feeling blah about my reading. I didn’t quit any in September and felt fired up about reading. I have also made the decision…
The Best Book & Reading Memes – That Help Justify Your Love For Books
It’s no secret that I love reading. I’ve always got a few books on the go and at any given moment am a part of two to four different book clubs. I don’t just enjoy reading though, I also enjoy making book lists, talking about books, writing about books, shopping for books, scoring a cheap used book at a thrift store, looking at and re-arranging books on my shelf and watching videos about books on YouTube. Another thing I really enjoy is a good book or reading meme. I’ve been collecting them on my computer for awhile and thought I should share my wealth of book memes with you. …
