    Reading Report, Vol. 32: A Long Overdue Update

    December 2, 2025 - By 

    Well, here it is the beginning of December already, and I am just now finally getting ’round to writing a new reading report update! Goodness. But life just keeps being complicated, and I simply don’t have the energy to sit down and string words together in coherent thoughts. Anyway, since my last update a while back (ahem!) I have finished quite a lot of titles. I think the best plan is just to give a very brief review of each one and note if a particular book was read for a club or challenge. Let’s go! Finished Books: Move Your…

    The Reading Report, Vol. 31: Autumn Progress Update

    October 8, 2025 - By 

    This month’s reading report is a little later than I had planned, but to be completely honest, life has been overwhelming me lately. I sat down last week to write this post, but the words just wouldn’t come at all. And let’s not mention the fact that I completely skipped publishing a reading update last month. (Oops!) Anyway, even though circumstances have not been ideal for reading a lot lately, I have finally finished a few books, and I am only a little bit “behind” where I should be in my reading goals at this point in the year. Let’s…

    Reading Report, Vol. 30: End of Summer Round-up

    August 28, 2025 - By 

    August in nearly over, and I find myself reluctant even now to post a reading update because, honestly, it just hasn’t felt like I have made a lot of progress. As I mentioned in July, summer is actually a hard time for me to get a lot of reading in because I am busy working on other projects. I have, however, made a concentrated effort to use audio books as much as possible to get some titles finished. I also am in trying very hard to keep up with my son’s school books, but only pre-reading one week in advance.…

    The Reading Report, Vol. 26: Spring Reading Refresh

    April 2, 2025 - By 

    Welcome to the April edition of The Reading Report! Although the weather has cooled off significantly from just one week ago when we were having an early taste of 70 degree weather, it is still officially spring. (If nothing else, my allergies are confirming this fact!) I am in denial about the fact that snow is currently in our forecast for this weekend, and choosing to focus on a little spring refresh needed in my reading life! Over the past couple month or so I fell out of the solid reading routine I had going, and I can’t quite say…

    Reading Report, Vol. 24: January Progress and February Goals

    February 5, 2025 - By 

    It has been an unseasonably warm few days here in our little part of Colorado, sunny and balmy and quite spring-like! The kids and I have been taking our school books outside by mid-morning so that we can enjoy the fresh air and sunshine before more snow and cold returns. This mid-winter thaw finds me in a transition not just between months, but also between books. I finished up a couple of things at the end of January and have yet to fill their places in my reading rotation. Perhaps as I write this post, it will help me decide…
