Currently Reading
I have loved reading since I was very young. I remember sitting with my dad and my brother every night reading through our extensive collection of Sesame Street and Berenstain Bears books as well as a pile of the childrens books with the golden spines. As we got older we moved onto chapter books, our favorites were Charlotte’s Web and Stuart Little. It is such a vivid memory I have that I can’t remember when I ever stopped reading. It could have been in junior high when we started having assigned books to read. Anyway, somewhere along the line, I began to read less. Over the years I have gone…

Books I’ve Read Recently
I feel like I go through phases with the material that I read. At one point I was devouring audiobook after audiobook of wonderful fiction and I felt like I would never get enough of it. Lately though my interest has shifted to personal development and I have been reading quite a bit lately. Along with listening to tons of podcast episodes I have been looking for inspiration on my bookshelf. Over the last year I have bought so many personal development books on Amazon and I decided to start reading them to see what kind of collection I have built up. I have definitely not been disappointed! Here are a…

My Bookshelf Tour
Seeing as part of one of my resolutions is to read for 30 minutes before bed, I thought it would be fitting to take a little tour of my bookshelf. My dad made this for my brother for Christmas a long time ago. As we got older my book collection kept growing so we swapped bookshelves. Over the years I have given many away and bought even more. This last year I discovered the delights of thrift store book shopping ($5 for a book that would have been $20?!?!?). Many of these have been read but there are some that I still have to work through. So…without further ado here…

Summer Reading List
One of my favorite ways to relax this time of year is to grab a great book and a glass of great wine and sit out on my back patio and read. Reading has always been something I really enjoy and buying books has also been an enjoyable activity since the time I started making my own money in high school. It’s difficult for me to walk into a book store and walk out with nothing. I recently discovered the delights of the thrift store “library” for dirt cheap deals on hundreds of titles and I may or may not have gone a little crazy a few months ago…a little.…
