I knew going into September that it wasn’t going to be a big reading month. There’s so much going on in my life at the moment that I was honestly surprised that I managed to eke out two books in the end! First up was The Paris Seamstress, by Natasha Lester. I bought this book back in mid-summer and somehow managed to leave it in the trunk of my car for about five weeks before actually reading it. I initially […]

August was not quite as productive as July as far as reading goes (however, I surprised myself with sewing, as you’ll see in Friday’s post!). I managed to add three more books to my reads of the year, bringing the total to thirty-three books. My goal is fifty… but with Frozen costuming starting this month, I don’t know if I’ll make it there. We shall see. First up, we had The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware. I was […]

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 […]
