I finally finished How Bad Do You Want It by Matt Fitzgerald. I really enjoyed this book. Fitzgerald builds a true story through each chapter to demonstrate the topic. He breaks up the story, so you have to keep reading to find out what happened in the race or event. The book also doesn’t get…
I finally finished It. It only took me three weeks and three days. I liked the story of It. I thought going in the book was about a killer clown. OMG, it was so much more than that. Also, not as scary as I recall the original movie. I mean, I was like 10 when it came out…
Disturbed – Jennifer Jaynes – 3 starsI found this book on Amazon Prime, and the description sucked me in. Multiple murders on Halloween and five years later, the lone survivor starts seeing the alleged murderer around town? Yes, please. I love a good thriller! The good: it’s an easy read. I think I finished it…
I started the month off with Outer Order Inner Calm by Gretchen Rubin. Usually, I enjoy Grethen Rubin’s work. I listen to her podcast and loved The Happiness Project. But I couldn’t get into Outer Order Inner Calm. I was in a decluttering mood, so I thought it was fitting. Everything in her book was…
I started February off with Dumplin’ (yes, the book the Netflix movie starring Jennifer Aniston is based on). I used the prompt a book you picked because the title caught your attention because I was scrolling through Amazon Prime Reads, and it popped out to me. The title and cover were intriguing, and I knew…
I’ve decided to start sharing the books I read each month with my thoughts on each book. Every year I try to read at least 52 books (one per week), so I can share at least four every month. I’m trying to do a mix of kindle, paperback, fiction, and non-fiction each month. I’m also…
I recently started and finished, The Happiness of Pursuit* by Chris Guillebeau. Somewhere along the line, it was recommended, either by someone on social media or some article. I thought the topic of the book seemed interesting and hadn’t thought of myself pursuing a quest. It turns out I already am pursuing three quests! One…
Scrolling through Instagram one day I stumbled across a post about Running is my Therapy by Scott Douglas and was intrigued. I immediately went to Amazon to read more about it. And then pre-ordered it. I struggle with anxiety and mild depression. I have since at least high school, more anxiety than depression. My brain is a…
In April I read the book 80/20 Running by Matt Fitzgerald. I had heard how great heart rate training is and it seems every runner I know has moved to it. I decided to give it a try and started May 1st. It’s been eye-opening and a challenge but I am remembering how much I…
I have a problem. I keep buying books. This is nothing new. I have loved books and reading since I was little. I have fond memories of reading Nancy Drew with my dad at bedtime. I spent hours at the public library during the summers. I can still spend hours wandering, exploring, and searching Barnes…
