Books, Books, Books!

For mine and Bryant's eight year (EIGHT YEARS, Y'ALL!) anniversary, I received a Kindle.
(And Bryant received a card. I'm such a good wife.)
(Hey, whatever. It was hand written and required effort.)

The Kindle has stepped up my reading game, considerably. My goal for the year was to read 25 new books, but I'm pretty sure, I'll by-pass that with the Kindle. I'm also loving the Kindle Prime benefits! A free book every month?? Yes, please! 

Here are some of my bookshelves on Goodreads. (If you're on Goodreads, come find me!)


  • Currently Reading:
The Best Yes Study Guide
Writing with Stardust: The Ultimate Descriptive Guide for students, parents,teachers and lovers of English.










  • Want to Read:

Below are some of the books I've read this year. And yes, I would recommend any and all of these!
