Currently Reading

I want to let you know what I’m reading — and I’m always looking for recommendations for something new to pick up! I’ve found that often the book recommends the reader as a friend, so take a look over my lists since we are already friends.

Reading Goals for 2021:

• Personal goal: I will read 50 books over the course of the year. This comes to roughly 4 books per month.
• Kid goal: I will read one chapter book each month to the kids.
