August Reflections

Monday, August 31, 2015


Hmm, let me see, what has happened this month? I meant to, but never really got started on a reading challenge that involved inspy awards books for this last round of awards. I honestly don't like having to read a book because it's required of me. I'd much rather read it because I want to read it and because inspiration struck. Some of the reads this month were that way, and that's how I like it. So, no more reading challenges of that ilk, I think.

August Goals

To my absolute amazement, I did read 5 books in August, which was a part of my goal. The rest of it was reading such books as Tiffany Girl by Deeanne Gist and some other books that I already own, but that did not happen, which is okay since I'm not in a rush to read any of them. I do wish I'd finished reading The Iliad, but that's just going to have to move to my goals for September. Certainly it needs to be finished before I crack the spine of Lorna Doone. On the plus side, I read both Not By Sight and Mind of Her Own, which were on my list of goals. Go me!

July Reflections

Friday, July 31, 2015



Well, as everyone already knows, a ton of stuff has happened this month. In fact, this blog happened this month. Whew, that's enough of a change just on its own!

July Goals

I honestly didn't have any, which is good because I didn't read/review all that much this month. In fact, I didn't even plan to activate this blog, so anything and everything that has happened this month has simply been icing on the cake, as it were.

Books I Read


Nope, not a pretty picture, really, but I needed to take a break from reading and so I did.

Plans for August

I really need to read some books that I've just purchased, actually.

Tiffany Girl by Deeanne Gist 
Not by Sight by Kate Breslin
Murder at the Mikado by Julianna Deering
Emissary by Thomas Locke 
The Prayer Box by Lisa Wingate
+
Mind of Her Own by Diana Lesire Brandmeyer that I'm reading for Tyndale House
+
Homer's The Iliad for The Classic's Club

I'd love to get everything read, but at this point, I'm really just aiming for 5 total. We'll see what happens!
