Alison’s January Reads

I kicked off the year with eight finished books, and even I second-guessed that number and double checked for accuracy! I haven’t logged this many books in a single month in a very long time and I’m feeling a mixture of pride and guilt, I won’t lie.

Alison’s December Reads

Chelsey’s October Reads

As much as I love reading in the summer months in the sunshine, there is something incredibly comforting about reading under the warmth of a cozy blanket with a cup of hot coffee close by.

Alison’s September Reads

 September felt like the busiest month of the year so far, but nevertheless, I still was able to sneak in some excellent reads - thankfully there’s also a lot of sitting in cars and dance lobbies when you have four kids in extracurriculars.

Chelsey’s September Reads

I found myself with several evenings a week to myself while my husband was traveling for work, so I was actually able to read a decent amount even in the middle of the crazy!

Alison’s July Reads

I fully embraced July this year, and of course that included the books I read. I chose light, summery reads so that I could relax poolside with a can of Poppi nearby and a good book in hand!

My TBR is 18 inches tall (not an exaggeration) and I’m praying for more opportunities to read this coming month - preferably in the beautiful sunshine that comes along with spring!

Alison’s March Reads

March was filled with fluffy romance (which is typical for me), but also a little stretch outside of my comfort zone as I joined a book club and leaned into recommendations of friends.
