Happy New Year!! I haven’t been blogging lately, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been reading. In fact, I have 2 back-reviews I have to post, of books I read in December. I also have to write and post a review of the first book I read in 2017, and other bookish / bloggish New…
Despite the changes in my life that is viewed by many to be detrimental to reading, 2014 was a very good reading year for me; in fact, the best when it came to number of books read. I read a total of 38 books, the closest I ever came to accomplishing my goal of 50. I could…

I’ve been thinking about making this list for a while now, but I didn’t think I could actually pick 100 books. Well, I was right, I couldn’t make 100, but I was close. While assessing all the books I’ve read, I was glad to know that I’ve actually read more than 100 books. Unfortunately, I…
