May was another weird month of reading for me.

I don’t know if I was being really picky, but I had a hard time getting into some books this month. Some of the plots felt very slow? Maybe, I was just distracted?

That said, I still managed to squeeze 5 books in:
1. Pretty Little Wife
2. Girls of Brackenhill
3. Beartown
4. The Midnight Library
5. Tell Me Lies

Let’s get into the reviews…

I’ve been an avid reader since childhood and can happily spend hours perusing the library shelves for my next read.

In this post, I’m sharing my top 4 ways to make sure your reading list never runs dry.

February was a weird month for me. I feel like I hit a pandemic wall and struggled to find books that could keep my interest. I had two books I started but didn’t finish, which is highly unusual for me! I usually try to tough it out unless a book is really, really bad.

That said, I did still manage to read five books, including what might be one of my favorite fiction books for the entire year! (Yes, I know it’s only the beginning of March.. but I feel pretty strongly about this.)

Without further ado, let’s get to it.

November was definitely an interesting month of reading for me! I switched gears and read more non-fiction/memoirs this month and also re-discovered my love of audiobooks. There’s truly nothing better than taking a long walk and losing yourself in a good story.

Jay Shetty’s TIME Morning Routine

I absolutely love reading about the morning routines of successful entrepreneurs, authors, and athletes. But I often find many of the routines to be unrealistic. So, when I came across Jay Shetty’s framework for the perfect morning in ‘Think Like a Monk’, I was blown away at the simplicity. All you need is TIME.
