  • I'm up to 42 for the year so far, which is more than I expected to read this year, so I'm psyched.

    In August I read 9 books, which I think is a record for me lately:

    Wayward (Wayward Pines #2) by Blake Crouch - 5 stars

    Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys - 5 stars

    The Last Town (Wayward Pines #3) by Blake Crouch - 5 stars
  • I read 9 books this month which shocked me because everything I read at the beginning of the month was so slow.  I am at 66/80 for the year.

  • This month was awful for me, I barely read a thing.  We have been so busy, I need to get back on track.  Not looking good for my goal this year.

    I only read Reluctantly Charmed 2* and Hexbound 2*. 

    Jessica, Married to Brian 12/27/03, Mom to Alex 6/27/94, Devin 10/29/04, and Emily 1/15/07
  • Sinner (Wolves #4)- 4*
    Off to be the Wizard - 3*
    Faithful Place - (Dublin murder #3) - 5*
    Howl's Moving Castle - 4*

    The kids and I listened to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Anne Hathaway narration-ughhh) and Secrets of the Sea (story about travelling mice on a ship during Queen Victoria's reign- pretty cute)
  • I didn't finish a single book in August. 

    We had a small electrical fire at our house which has forced us to live in a hotel. I have zero down time to read while sharing a room with a toddler and husband.

    Plus, I'm starting a new job next week (yay!) but that has meant working through my lunch break every day which is the other time I had to read.
