I love summer vacation for three main reasons: 1.) lots of time to visit my niece and nephew, 2.) sewing, and 3.) reading. And read I did this July, making up for the months with only two books this year. Hey, I pledged to read 50 before the year is up. Given what I did this month, I may just get there! Though I read a number of books, I’m going to count six of them in one group as […]

School’s out! June was a doozy of month to get there though and as a result I read only two books. I definitely chose sewing over books at the end of the month once summer vacation started – it feels so good to sew for myself again! (But we’ll get to that in Friday’s June Makes post…) Both of the books I read were recent Book of the Month Club selections. I’m very behind on those, but that doesn’t stop […]

We’ve reached the end of May and the beginning of June which means it’s time for another edition of “What I Read!” Despite this month being insanely busy, I managed to eke out a few books. First up was Pretty Girls Dancing, by Kyle Brant. This book was one of my Kindle first selections, so I got it for free at the beginning of the month at some point or another. It’s been in my kindle for a long time, […]

It’s time for another edition of “What I Read!” This month, because I spent so much time on airplanes and in airports and on buses the last week and a half of April, I have five books to discuss! Let’s just jump right in. The first book was Always, by Sarah Jio. I consider her books guilty pleasures. They are crazy easy to read and super predictable. However, I eat them up whenever I get one. I was late to […]

In true March fashion, this month came in like a lion. We began with the premiere of The Little Mermaid, Jr. and that kept me occupied for the first full week of the month. There was little time for anything else, between show days and recovering from show days. But slowly and steadily, I started to pull myself out of the comfy dark confines of the theater and back into the light of all my other interests. My first book […]

For a while there, I wasn’t sure this post would exist this month. At the beginning of February, I was completely consumed by the costuming demands of The Little Mermaid. I just simply wasn’t reading. This wasn’t for lack of trying. I opened books, but when they didn’t hold my interest right off the bat I quickly gave up. I had a lot to do and not a ton of time to do it in, so I couldn’t waste that […]

Of the many things I like to do when I’m not sewing, reading is one of the top choices on my list. For a few years I was doing posts on all the books I read individually and soon my blog became just about books, because I didn’t have time or the stamina to really write about anything else. In the rebrand, I did away with that, and am now planning a monthly reading update. Some months will have tons […]

On my way back from Maine a few weeks ago, we stopped to go to the bathroom – at a Barnes & Noble, of all places. I, not actually needing the bathroom, went into the store to stretch my legs and grab some coffee. I swear I was not in the store for ten minutes total (waiting for the others to use the bathroom), but I left with a new book. (I make quick work of Barnes & Noble and […]
