Welcoming 2020: Reading Goals

1 January, 202031 December, 2019 - Grace 4 Comments

As a long-term book blogger, I’ve gone through periods of time where I’ve blogged almost daily, and I’ve gone through times when I’ve touched my blog every few months. I’m expecting 2020 to be more of the latter than of the former. I’m getting married in the fall, and wedding planning is intense. So I’mRead more

April 2018: A Month in Review

1 May, 201822 April, 2018 - Grace 3 Comments

I read so many books in April! I went from a major reading/blogging slump (I read almost nothing last year) to getting excited about reading and blogging all over again. To be fair, a lot of these are manga, which are quick reads, but even so, I am so far ahead in my Goodreads readingRead more

1 April, 2018 - Grace 6 Comments

Happy Easter! March was a productive blogging and reading month, thanks in part to the really great group of people from Bloggiesta. I read and reviewed the following books: I’ve got so many ideas for the upcoming month. I going to participate in a meme called My TBR List. Here’s how it works. The firstRead more

2018 Blogging Resolutions

14 January, 201814 January, 2018 - Grace 4 Comments

As the new year begins, it’s time to take a few minutes and reflect on my reading and blogging goals for the new year. 2017 brought me stress, loss, and change. I’ve resolved that 2018 will be better. After some reflection, here are my reading goals for the new year: My goal for the GoodreadsRead more

August 2017: A Month in Review

3 September, 2017 - Grace 6 Comments

It’s been a long time since I’ve done one of my normal month in review posts. This has been a tough year for me in general, and blogging and even reading (*gasp*) fell to the wayside. Then during August I took a much-needed vacation to Kerr Lake, a place that my grandfather had told meRead more

On my recent absence from the internet

29 May, 2017 - Grace 15 Comments

During the past few months, I’ve been notably absent from my blog, and my only posts have been ones that were scheduled/planned long in advance. There was a reason. Not so long ago, my grandfather had a heart attack. As he was about to be released from the hospital, we learned he had cancer. MyRead more

March was an exciting month for me. Mike and I moved from the building where we had lived for four years to a new place in Alexandria. We’re renting a condo rather than an apartment, and the new place suits me so well–it’s an old building with lots of history, it has gorgeous parquet floors,Read more

February 2017: A Month in Review

4 March, 20174 March, 2017 - Grace Leave a comment

During early February, I started to get back in the swing of blogging regularly again. I read/reviewed a few books: Then I found out that our landlord was increasing our rent by a lot more than had occurred in the past. More than I was comfortable paying. I figured I’d make appointments and go seeRead more

January 2017: A Month in Review

4 February, 2017 - Grace 2 Comments

How is your year going so far? 2017 still feels a bit surreal to me. I live in the Washington DC area, and ever since Trump’s Inauguration, I’ve become a lot more politically active, whether that means participating in protests (there are so many protests) or making phone calls and sending letters to Congress. WhatRead more

Examining 2016 Reading Goals, and Goals for 2017

30 December, 201629 December, 2016 - Grace Leave a comment

2016 is drawing to a close (and good riddance!), and as we prepare for 2017 to begin it’s a good time to reflect on the books that I’ve read over the past year, and to come back to my reading goals for 2016 and see whether I’ve been on track. I had three main goalsRead more
