Have you read A Man Called Ove? I started it yesterday and finished it today. That's how good it was. Thankfully, I had a rather mindless task all day at work today. Something that is boring but just has to get done, so it's fine. The bonus with this type of activity is that I… Continue reading Book Rec: A Man Called Ove

Pandemic Reading Faves
In 2020 I read 32,219 pages. That's 91 books. My goal was 60, but safe at home orders meant more time for reading (and listening). Thank goodness for the Libby app!!

I was determined, once again, to finish the dang book. It turned out to be quite… Continue reading Summer Reading Reviews: Before I Go to Sleep and A Dark and Twisted Tide
Summer Reading List: I Am the Messenger
I read I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak on Sunday, so I thought I'd share my view on it.Let me start by saying that I LOVED The Book Thief so I went into this open minded since I like Zusak's work. However, it took me a little while to get interested in it. The premise was intriguing… Continue reading Summer Reading List: I Am the Messenger
