I really wish I was good at book reviews. Really, really. Unfortunately I just can't form my thoughts into entertaining words, which is why I am a blogging failure. I thought maybe if I blogged more I would get better. I have had different blogs over the years and I'm pretty sure I was better with words pre-Facebook. The easier things get the more my brain turns to mush. Raising four kids didn't help.
I really wish I had started a book blog wayyy back when blogs first came out. If I had written daily maybe I would have gotten really good at it and made some money from said imaginary blog and also maybe would have been sent free books to review. This is my dream that I didn't dream in time and now it's too late.
Anyway...I'm still reading. I love that my kids are grown or almost grown and I don't have much to do and I have a ton of time to read and am able to buy books whenever I would like. I am living a book lover's dream, to a certain degree. If you don't dream too big.
I'm currently reading a few books:
Vanessa and Her Sister by Priya Parmar
The Poison Tree by Erin Kelly
Notes from a Blue Bike: The Art of Living Intentionally in a Chaotic World by Tsh Oxenreider (on my Kindle)
Habibi by Naomi Shihab Nye (aloud to my teens for their curriculum)
The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien (aloud to my teens for fun)
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith (aloud to my daughter to share a great book)
Maybe I'll come here more often and just record what I'm reading and ramble on a bit. Maybe I'll forget about this blog again for a few months. Who knows?
Today the plan is to go read on the beach while watching my husband and oldest son attempt to surf. I hate that they're surfing...sharks, rip tide and all that fun Florida stuff...but I will enjoy reading and the relief I feel when they finally finish and they both still have all their limbs.
Happy Reading fellow book lovers!
