    It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 6/25/18

    It’s been another busy week – I had plans after work every night, plus I’m still working on painting the guest room – it’s almost done and I hope to finish it this week! And unfortunately I really didn’t have much time to read! I completely ditched my reading plan…

    It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 6/18/18

    I’ve had a busy week filled with all sorts of things, plus trying to get the guest room painted (which is always more work than I expect it to be!). I’m absolutely in love with the color and hope my vision comes out the way I want it to when…

    I love when I plan out my reading for the week and then totally toss it aside when I get my hands on some other titles! So you can ignore what I thought I’d try and read this week, because I didn’t get to any of those books, but instead…

    I didn’t get a chance to read everything I wanted to this week, but I’m not counting it as a total loss! I got through a little bit of The Disappearing Spoon by Sam Kean, but as it’s a more in depth history of the periodic table than I really need…
