Books

Reading has become such a huge part of my life over the years…I’ve always enjoyed reading, but as an adult, and now a stay at home mom, it has meant so much more to me. It’s a way to keep my brain active, a way to deal with stress, to travel without leaving my living room, to learn and grow and so much more.

I started reviewing books I read back in 2015 as a hobby, and just could not stop, so now you can see literally hundreds of book reviews here from the last ten years! I love having a list of books I have read here on my blog, and my thoughts on them, because let’s face it, it’s so easy to forget sometimes! I have had friends look at these posts for ideas on things to read too, so I love that it can be a helpful tool for you too!

I started using Good Reads to rate books and keep track of what I am reading a while ago, so that is linked here as well if you’d like to follow along with me there! Happy reading everyone!
