#aww2020 was the only challenge I contributed to this month, adding 4 titles. My reading has been a bit higgledy-piggledy this past month owing to some major life distractions. My total has taken me by surprise, I thought it was going to be much lower! Even though August isn't officially over, I'm calling it because … Continue reading A Month of Reading: August

#2020ReadNonFic Challenge Completed

I wasn't too sure if I was up to reading twelve, one a month, but look at this, it's halfway through the year and I've read...one … Continue reading #2020ReadNonFic Challenge Completed

#BookBingo2020 – Round 6: About the Environment
Greenwood by Michael Christie I don’t read anywhere near the amount of eco-literature that I’d like, but I’ve made a personal commitment to myself to read more, not just new releases, but to also pull off the eco titles from my #tbr that have been there patiently waiting for their turn for far too long. … Continue reading #BookBingo2020 – Round 6: About the Environment

#BookBingo2020 – Round 3: Coming of Age
My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante This is more than a novel about friendship. The era in which she set the story plays just as much of a role in the telling as the characters. Italy’s turbulent history is evidenced within the very fabric of these characters, the community, and the codes they lived by. … Continue reading #BookBingo2020 – Round 3: Coming of Age
