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....

50+ Word of the Year Ideas

Happy New Year! I hope you are starting the new year rejuvenated from the holidays! I am so glad you are here and joining me on this corner of the internet. Welcome! I love the start of a New Year. It's a fresh start, clean slate and a chance to take a look at the year ahead. In the last post , I talked about how I don't make New Years Resolutions. Instead, I decide on a WORD. I think of what I want the year to look like. How I want to shape decisions and what I want to accomplish. This year I chose....... I want to be more consistent in many aspects of my life. I am printing this image and putting it on my desk at work and next to my bed. Have you thought of a word? If you want to do a word of the year instead of a resolution, I compiled over 50+ words and definitions for you! Take a look below to help you think of what you want this year to look like/focus on. You can always pick one for yo...

March Book Review

I read a lot this month. We had a couple quiet weekends, and I took advantage of them by reading. There were a few books I started and couldn't finish. Life is too short to read a book you don't like. But below are the ones I did finish. I hope you find a few ones to add to your list. Temptations by Sherryl Woods My rating: 4.5/5 I loved it! Slight (very slight if I could finish the book) suspense in the book. I thought it was a great story and I didn't want it to end. Back of book: Callie Smith's quest for success far from her Iowa roots has caused a rift with her hardworking family. And with neither her Wall Street career nor her marriage going as planned, she starts to question the choices she's made. But when charismatic network president Jason Kane pursues her to save a failing soap opera, her life is soon full of more twists than a TV story line. Suddenly she gets to know a whole new side to her mother, and also has the opport...
