TBR Mix 'n' Mingle - What I'm Reading in November

November 1, 2018 by Megan 3 Comments

I feel like I’ve been in a bit of a reading slump. Not so much in the quantity of books I’ve been reading -- because it’s still an average amount for me -- but more in the amount of time I’ve been able to devote to reading lately. I also have a lot of library holds coming in lately, and I feel like I’m drowning in them and unable to catch up :/ I need a good long weekend full of reading -- and some good books to help me do it!

Here’s what I’m planning to tackle in November. Let’s hope some of these are contenders!

Happy Tuesday! And I hope you’re ready for another edition of Show Us Your Books! I also want to take a second to congratulate both hosts on the 4th anniversary of this wonderful linkup! I’ve only been doing it for a little over a year, but I absolutely love it, and I’m so happy to be a part of it now. Thank you, Jana and Steph for all you do to keep this going each month 🙂

Top Ten Tuesday - Fall 2018 Books I'm Excited About

September 18, 2018 by Megan 10 Comments

Happy Tuesday -- and even better it's almost fall! I think I've been saying that off-and-on for the past few weeks, but no matter what the weather says, it's actually coming. The calendar says Friday is the last day of summer, officially. In this week's Top Ten Tuesday the bookish topic is Books on My Fall TBR, and these are the books that I’m most excited to see released this fall. Just two weeks until the first release date - I can't wait!

Show Us Your Books - September 2018

September 11, 2018 by Megan 19 Comments

It’s the second Tuesday of the month, and you know what that means; it’s time for another edition of Show Us Your Books! Compared to last month, which included a couple 2-star reads and a couple of DNFs, this one was AMAZING. I had 6 -- yes, SIX -- 4-star reads, which is pretty unheard of, for me. I love great reading months!

But I’m also a little bit sick this week (I’m blaming it on the abrupt transition to fall from a week of suffocating 90 degree weather…), so I’m keeping my blurbs short and linking to full reviews in lieu of blurbs where I can. Know that I 100% recommend any of the 4-star books, and honestly, you should go read them now, if you haven’t already… Let’s get to it!

TBR Mix 'n' Mingle - What I'm Reading in September

September 1, 2018 by Megan 10 Comments

September is here and it’s exciting! Fall is coming… those cooler, breezy days that are perfect for reading. The end to the hot and sticky summer means it’s soon going to be comfortable enough (and acceptable) to bake all the pumpkin things. And, finally, I’m starting my September with four days off work, which means LOTS of extra time for reading. Yay!

Below is a look at what I plan to read in September -- and make sure to check out the rest of book blogs for lots of other TBR fun. (Link at the bottom of the my post.)

Top Ten Tuesday (Back-to-School Edition) - Non-Fiction I've Loved & Non-Fiction I Want to Read

August 28, 2018 by Megan 11 Comments

Happy Tuesday! It’s time for another edition of Top Ten Tuesday, a literary list with a new bookish topic every week. In honor of the new school year upon us, this week’s topic is a back-to-school freebie. Last year’s BTS edition was one of my favorite topics -- and one of my more popular posts -- so I struggled a little bit with what to choose this time around. I landed on one of the suggested freebie topics: Non-Fiction Books I’ve Loved & Those I Want to Read.

I don’t read a lot of nonfiction, but I like to think it’s because I’m choosy about it. Obviously, non-fiction is great if you’re looking to learn something, but I also like it when that learning inspires me or sticks with me well after I’ve put the book down. I’ve decided to highlight five of the non-fiction books I’ve loved over the years, and give non-fiction books I hope will teach me something when I get to them!
