Our Favorite Books: 9 to 12 Months

We love our books. And I do mean we - not just me. Hubby is an avid reader of boring history books (okay, okay, not totally boring, but he really loves non-fiction and generally gears his reading towards the world wars). I love my... well, everything. And B has his favorites, too. So, yeah, we…

Book Review: Sapiens

Sapiens: A Brief History of Human Kind Written by Yuval Noah Harari (Goodreads) Non-fiction is my go-to genre when it comes to reading audiobooks. I love learning while I do mindless tasks like dishes, walking the dog, and driving. It makes me feel like I am doing so much more with the time I have.…

Book Review: How to Raise a Reader

They are reading for the reasons all of us read: to escape, to uncover, to challenge ourselves, to be swept away by a compelling voice, to find companionship with characters we connect with, to travel the world from the safe distance of a living room armchair. How to Raise a Reader Written by Pamela Paul…

Our Favorite Books: 6 to 9 months

Babies are so weird. One day, all they want to do is eat the book or throw it at your head. And then, the very next day, you look over and they are happily reading books to themselves. You may be a little annoyed because you JUST put them all back on the shelf, but…

What I’ve Been Reading Lately

My goal for this year was 20 books in 2020. I set my bar pretty low because I have a new baby and I wanted to set a goal that was actually attainable for me while chasing this little man around. I'm super excited because even though it's only September, I have achieved the goal…

Book Review: Molly on the Range

I'm not going to lie - there were TWO main reasons why I wanted this book. (Sidenote: It's been on my Christmas list for 2 years in a row because I was too cheap to buy it, but have wanted to read it for quite a while.) 1. It's written by a "Molly" and we…

Book Review: Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline

Years and years ago my mom told me to read this book. She always has good suggestions, so why did I wait? While flipping through my library's Libby app at 2:00 am (because that seems to be my son's favorite time to snack), the book shows up. I figured why not. Time constricts and flattens,…

Book Review: Educated by Tara Westover

To admit uncertainty is to admit to weakness, to powerlessness, and to believe in yourself despite both. It is a frailty, but in this frailty there is a strength: the conviction to live in your own mind, and not in someone else’s. Book: Educated Author: Tara Westover Format: audiobook Length: 10 hours Published February 20th…
