    March and April Reads: More Sweet and Happy Books

    May 20, 2023 /

    Whoops! The past month and a bit got away with me, and before I knew it, a few Saturdays had blown right by. However, I am back to get on the right track today, and wanted to share some of my March and April highlights with you all. True to form, when I get overwhelmed, I particularly love nice happy novels that make me feel good. I also have a memoir to share that, while not cozy, is certainly lovely and inspiring! Fun Middle Grade Novels: I love listening to good middle grade and young adult novels, especially ones I have read as I go about my daily life and…

    February Reads: For The Love of Cozy Books

    March 4, 2023 /

    I don’t think I’m saying anything groundbreaking when I say that February often just kinda sucks. It’s dark and wet and cold, but summer is just too far off to look forward to. This past month hasn’t been terrible for me, but it has felt disjointed, incredibly busy, generally tough, and I honestly did not have the time or the focus to really connect with a book. However, over the last week or so, I have felt a shift and had the most lovely series of book moments, all centered around the kind of cozy, sweet books that feel like a cup of tea and a warm blanket (there was…

    Miss Marple: The Moving Finger

    February 24, 2021 /

    “You know,” she observed pensively. “To commit a successful murder must be very much like bringing off a conjuring trick….You’ve got to make people look at the wrong thing and in the wrong place” Hello! The more books I read, the more I realize that with some exceptions, my love from Miss Marple has likely stemmed from the fact that I have watched all of Agatha Christie’s Marple at least twice. That being said, I am really enjoying the books, and this is probably my favorite full length novel so far, despite one very large quibble (more on that later), and the fact that Miss Marple’s role in the story…

    January 2021: A Month Full of Cozy, Comfy Reads

    February 3, 2021 /

    Hello everyone, My reading year got off to an OK start this year. It has honestly been great, but I am aware of the fact that I am focusing mostly on comfort reading that doesn’t have a ton of substance. I did try and pick up a more serious book at one point, and ultimately decided to give into my need for comfort reading of all kinds. I got to start my Miss Marple books (HERE and HERE), and I really enjoyed some great cozy reading. Great Comfort Reads Of course I have comfort reads to share with you this month! The two favorites I have to share with you…
