January Book Review

Welcome back to our monthly book review. This is the post where I share the books I read last month, rate them and share the jacket summary. I hope you are able to find a few new books to add to your reading list! However.... This month was a struggle for me. On average I read about 4-5 books a month. If I don't like a book, or can't get into it, I stop reading. Life is too short to read a book that doesn't hold my interest. That happened more this month than ANY month, in the last 3 years where I have been tracking what I read. I must have started and stopped 4 books. I just couldn't not get past the first couple chapters. It was a struggle for sure. This month, I read a series on Kindle Unlimited that I will only count as 1 book. I'll explain more below. The Christmas Retreat By Grace Meyers My rating: 4/5 My comments: This was a 6 book series. The books were about 70 pages long....

Motivational Monday - 4/29/2024

Throw stuff out Organize it Put it away ..... Whatever you need to do. A cluttered house, clutters your mind and it's hard to relax. Do a little something every day. This also applies to work. Take a look at your desk. Do you have files everywhere? Post it's? Old family pictures? Now go look at your managers desk (or the person that has the job you are working towards). Does it look the same? Take 10 minutes to really look at the post its you have around your monitor. Do you still look at them? If not throw it out. If you still think you need them - combine to one sheet and post on your wall or add to OneNote. After a while your mind doesn't see/read them because they are so used to them. Look at old family pictures... Can you take some home and update with a couple current ones? Can you create a calendar in Shutterfly or Walgreens to display monthly pictures there? This would allow you to have less family pic...

December Book Review.... AND full list from 2023

Welcome to my favorite post of the month - BOOK REVIEW! Going forward this post will be the first Wednesday of the month. This month was different because of the word of the year post last week. In December I technically read 5 books. However, the books in the Asheville series were short and quick reads. Honestly, they could have been combined to make one long book. So, without any more chatter, below are the books I read in December. Hissy Fit by Mary Kay Andrews My Rating: 3.5 / 5 Back of book: The night before her wedding, in the middle of an oh-so-smart rehearsal dinner, interior decorator Keeley Murdock chances upon her fiancé and maid of honor in flaming flagrante delicto. Keeley throws the hissy fit to end all hissy fits, storms out and earns herself instant notoriety in her tiny hometown of Madison, GA. The next day, though, she has to deal not only with a broken engagement but also with her business being shut out by folks in a t...
