One and a half months into my 2019 reading challenge and I think it’s time to talk about it. I know it’s February, but I like the thought of talking about each month’s reading, and January is a good place to start. Present over Perfect by Shauna Niequist This book sounded like a good way … Continue reading January 2019 Reading

On Reading for Hours
At the start of every year comes the thought: how many books will I try and read by December? For the past number of years I kept the number low (between 10 and 40 books a year) thinking I’d be too busy to read more. But each year I pass the goal in mind, which … Continue reading On Reading for Hours
On Blogging for Two Years

NaNoWriMo: Day Seventeen
It’s been a while – all my words are being used up in a novel. We’re more than halfway through the month, and no two days have felt the same. One day I’ll write a lot and be ahead, the next three days I won’t write a thing and I’ll refuse to open the word … Continue reading NaNoWriMo: Day Seventeen
