A Year of Books from Heywood Hill


Books

My birthday was back in October and Paul definitely pulled out all the stops. It felt like we celebrated all month long between concerts, date nights, and a trip to Paris. He truly made it special for me in so many ways! One of the sweetest things he did for me was to give me […]

A Year of Books I Read and Loved, 2022


Books, Lifestyle

It’s been an entire year since I posted a book list. While I got consumed by my crochet projects for a time, I also managed to squeeze in some reading over the past few months. I think I felt compelled to share more about our move than anything else because it just took up so […]

September 2021 Reading List


Books, Lifestyle

It was another month of good reads! I read so much over the last month that I came to a place where I had nothing to read. I flew through my TBR pile and then it was like, oh crap…I’m without a book! In my world that’s kind of a tragedy. I quickly placed an […]

August 2021 Reading List


Books, Lifestyle

I’ve had lots of time to read lately (check out our recent travels here) but was still surprised when I looked over what I finished this past month. The August 2021 reading list has a total of six books which I enjoyed immensely. As it’s still summer, I’m always looking for the next great pool […]

May 2021 Reading List


Books, Lifestyle

The month of May went by so fast, but you’ll turn the pages of these books even faster! It was a really good reading month for me. As per usual I’ve gone down a real murdery path with a selection of thrillers perfect for soaking up some sun this summer. I especially loved I’ll Never […]

March Reading List


Books, Lifestyle

I am realizing just now that this month’s reading list is composed entirely of female authors. Not bad considering it’s Women’s History Month! Anyway, my March reading list is full of titles that I really (and I mean really) enjoyed. Now that I’ve made my way down the pile, I need another bookstore run! Outfit […]

January Reading List


Books, Lifestyle

It’s been a couple months since my last reading list post (I blame the holidays – too much fun 😉), but if you’re curious about all my book lists you can grab them here. I like to produce small reading lists of 4-5 novels that I’ve read lately, and if you’re new here, you’ll see […]

October Reading List


Books, Lifestyle

This is my favorite time of year to do a reading list post. In the fall, I love nothing more than snuggling under a blanket with my dogs and reading a great book. It’s the start of cozy season, am I right? Lately I’ve been reading just about anything. I do go through spurts where […]

July Reading List


Books, Lifestyle

I’m still hooked on good ol’ thrillers this month. I don’t know what it is exactly, but I’ve been reading as many thrillers as I can get my hands on these days. I think it’s partly due to the fact that everyday is pretty much the same, and I need that feeling of something exciting […]

June Reading List


Books, Lifestyle

If you don’t get dressed up and read in your bathtub, are you even living? LOL  After taking a bit of a break, I went on a little reading streak in June. I spend a lot of time pouring through recommended reading lists, and very rarely come across one I don’t enjoy and wouldn’t recommend. […]

March Reading List


Books, Lifestyle

Reading is one of my most relaxing pastimes. I love the escape that a really good story provides. I love it when I finish a book and it stays with me for days or even longer, the characters sticking with me as I go about my usual routines. When the story is that good, I […]

January Reading List


Books, Lifestyle

It’s time for another reading list! I love these posts. This one is everything I read in January. Well, technically it has everything I also read over the Christmas break, too. It was a good long run of reading time, which is something I enjoy above all other relaxing activities. I can get completely immersed […]

Fall Reading List 2019


Books, Lifestyle

Happy, happy, happy Fall! There’s never a bad time to pick up a book but this time of year always feels so extra for book nerds like me. Give me all the cliche literary coziness – being snuggled on the couch with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, folds and folds of […]

Summer Reading List 2019


Books, Lifestyle

We’ve had such a busy summer so far, but I still managed to get some reading in. I used to have a job where I felt like I had to constantly keep up with a certain amount of books per year and they all had to be specific genres. Now, I have the flexibility to […]

7 Spooky Books to Read This Halloween


Books, Lifestyle

Ever since I was a kid and read Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, I’ve been hooked on spooky tales. Mystery, suspense, psychological thriller, unusual and unexplained, urban legends, and ghosts have kept me in the scary stacks of the bookstore and library for years. I love the thrill a frightening tale can give […]

10 Stylish Gift Ideas for Father’s Day


Books, Lifestyle

“Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad.” I’m fortunate to have more than one great example of fatherhood in my life. I even count my husband among those. He is such a good dog dad to our sweet fur baby. Show your dad some love with something […]
