The Month That Was…

May 31, 2023 / Theresa Smith Writes / 16 Comments

May Life: This weekend I'm attending my first session at a writer's festival. Writers By the Sea is a biennial festival in Yeppoon and I missed the last one due to a migraine. M and I have tickets to the Saturday evening event, with Michael Robotham and Chris Hammer, also featuring a slam poet who … Continue reading The Month That Was…

The Month That Was…

Apr 30, 2023 / Theresa Smith Writes / 15 Comments

April At last the weather has turned and Autumn is well and truly here. Not only are the mornings and nights cooler, the days are pleasant right the way through. Perfect reading - and tea drinking - weather. My blog hit a milestone this month, thank you to all of you who interact with me … Continue reading The Month That Was…

The Month That Was…

Apr 1, 2023 / Theresa Smith Writes / 10 Comments

March Life has been busy and joyful for the past month. Each of my children celebrated birthdays, turning 21, 19 and 17, and Zeus had his 10th birthday! Zeus, making sure no one steals his back legs while he is not watching... I've decided to combine my weekly newsletter posts with my monthly reading check … Continue reading The Month That Was…

A Month of Reading – February

Mar 5, 2023Mar 5, 2023 / Theresa Smith Writes / Leave a comment

I just realised today that it was March and I hadn't written up my reading post for February. What a busy last couple of weeks! So, February. It looked like this... Total books read: 6 Review books: From the tbr: I was reading a lot on my Kobo this month, and those books are ones … Continue reading A Month of Reading – February

A Month of Reading – January

Feb 1, 2023 / Theresa Smith Writes / 7 Comments

A solid start to the reading year with 9 books read in January. No reading challenges this year, just letting myself follow whatever path my reading mood takes me down. Review Books: Off the TBR: Until next month! Yours, in good reading x

A Month of Reading: December

Dec 30, 2022Dec 28, 2022 / Theresa Smith Writes / 6 Comments

Another month of reading has passed, so too, has another year. First up, let's look at December. I read six books in December, unsurprising that the total is low, December is a notoriously busy month for everyone. Two of my December reads were real chunksters though, so overall, I didn't do too badly and it … Continue reading A Month of Reading: December

A Month of Reading: November

Nov 30, 2022 / Theresa Smith Writes / Leave a comment

November has finished with eight books read. I've changed it up a bit this month too, with a cookbook, a short story collection, and a non-fiction/essay collection, definitely a change from my usual fiction only focus. I felt like I was really getting back into my reading routine in this last week of November too, … Continue reading A Month of Reading: November

A Month of Reading: October

Nov 1, 2022Nov 1, 2022 / Theresa Smith Writes / 8 Comments

Throughout October I read six books, four I rated at five stars and two I rated at four stars, so once again, quality is winning out over quantity. A couple of them were actually pretty thick too, 600 pages and 400 pages, so I felt like I definitely got more reading time in this month, … Continue reading A Month of Reading: October

A Month of Reading: September

Sep 30, 2022 / Theresa Smith Writes / 7 Comments

Throughout the month of September, I read six books. Three of my own, and three that were sent to me for review. Three were five star reads, and three were four star reads. I am holding steady with the quality selections, which is always a reading bonus. This month has been particularly busy. My son … Continue reading A Month of Reading: September

A Month of Reading: August

Sep 6, 2022 / Theresa Smith Writes / 7 Comments

I just realised this evening that it's September. I mean, I knew it was September, but I realised that it was several days into the new month and I hadn't written up my recap on what I'd read for August. I can't believe we are now in the last quarter of the year! I thought … Continue reading A Month of Reading: August

A wonderful evening out at Stories by the Sea on the Capricorn Coast last night. Meeting the lovely @mirandiriwoe was a highlight along with having a chat and a laugh with Chris Hammer and Michael Robotham after the event.
