Mid-Year Reading Check In!
Please note that the above sentiment does not work on my husband, hahaha. I’ve tried. I’ve got three huge bookshelves though, so he may be right at this point ;). Who can really say? I actually meant to post this on the 15th, but got really busy and forgot. So it’s coming at you a few days later than expected.

Books For You Ears – Audio Book Recommendations!
Ah, audio books. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Truth be told, almost 1/3 of the books that I finish every month are audio books. I pop one on to zone out on the train ride to/from work, to relax in my hammock and take in the day, or even to amuse me while I clean or cook. I’ve worked my way through hundreds of audio masterpieces, and even a few duds. I’ve found narrators that I absolutely adore, and ones that I’m not too fond of. I’m here to share some of that knowledge with…

Oh look, it’s July! Am I writing this while snacking on hot dogs and hamburgers? Yes, yes I am. Am I already woefully behind because it’s the 4th, and the month has already kicked off in a massive way? Yes, yes I am. June flew by, my birthday has come and gone, and I feel like I’m scrambling. I always hit a mid-year slump when it comes to the blog. Coming up with new content every week is tricky stuff. Especially when you’ve been doing it for 7 years. I shouldn’t complain though, because the fact remains that I love…
