Are buying books and reading them two different hobbies? I believe they are and we have a third hobby, tracking our reading! We are going to take a closer look at the Erin Condren A5 Book Lovers Reading Log and Journal (affiliate link – I will earn a commission if you purchase) to see if…
Have you ever wondered how to write a fair non-fiction book review? I struggled with fairly assigning a rating and one day I thought, why don’t I use the system I use for my fiction books? Then I realized that probably wouldn’t work great but it was a good starting point. I used the same…
July was a slower month for me and I only read three books. I focused on non-fiction this month and improving my skills. What did you read in July? How to Shoot Video That Doesn’t Suck by Steve Stockman☕☕☕☕☕ / 5 Although this was more directed at people making movies or capturing their family events,…
Have you ever finished a really great (or maybe really bad) book and wanted to write an objective fiction book review? That’s how I felt when I started receiving more ARCs (advanced reader copies). I wanted to really put thought into my review and give it a fair rating. I didn’t have a system, but…

Maybe because I have studied finance and…

I feel so accomplished. 😂 What did you read this month? Links are Amazon Associates and I may earn a commission…
Another month in which I surpassed my goal! Only one book was a short read. The other four were average length for their genres. Two took me a little longer to read because I wasn’t as into them, while I read quickly for the other two because I wanted to know what had happened! How…
January was a good month for me! I finished seven, yes seven, books! It was quite the month but it’s not normal or attainable for me to read that much every month. I had some extra time due to vacation, airplane, and car rides, which made it much easier to finish several books. Plus my…
