    Reading Plan for Modern Mrs Darcy's Reading Challenge

    January 21, 2020 / 0 Comments

    One of the blogs that I follow the most closely is Anne Bogel’s Modern Mrs Darcy. I love how she approaches reading and I find the way she writes and speaks to be extremely calming. Her motto is to help people get more out of their reading lives. Her podcast “What Should I Read Next” is dedicated to helping readers find new books they love. As an avid reader I appreciate her approach and so this year I have decided to participate in her reading challenge. Find it here. For the rest of this post I am going to share the books I am thinking of reading for each category.…

    How I Am Choosing to View This New Year

    January 13, 2020 / 0 Comments

    We are already 3 weeks into the year 2020. If this had been previous years I would have long forgotten my New Year’s resolutions by now and I would be back in the slog of doing life exactly the same way as I had been previously with not much improvement on myself or progress on my goals. This year I treated New Year’s Resolutions a little bit differently.  As 2020 approached I actually didn’t have any idea what my year was going to look like. I had been pursuing an internship with an organization close to my heart but I didn’t know if I would actually get into that internship.…

    When the Bookworm Can’t Read

    November 15, 2019 / 0 Comments

    I love to read. You don’t have to spend very much time with me at all to realize this. I talk about books, I have a tattoo of a girl reading on my arm, I write about books, I listen to audiobooks, the list continues. In the past three years my number of books read has gone as follows: 2015: 73 books2016: 80 books2017: 48 books2018: 60+ (I didn’t track all of them) And what about this year? Well, as I sit and write this I have read 25 books. And it is very close to the end of the year.  25 books is a respectable number, nothing wrong with that…

    Audiobooks and How I Reach My Reading Goals

    July 30, 2019 / 0 Comments

    I have always been an avid reader. In fact, I have no recollection of not being able to read. By the time I was four I could read picture books with ease and by the time I was six I was visiting the library daily. When I was 14 years old, I dislocated my elbow and I was unable to hold up a book. During that time, someone was kind enough to recommend the free audiobook service Librivox to me. Librivox is an audiobook service for books in the public domain. I listened to Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, Jack and Jill, Little Women, Pollyanna, Pollyanna Grows Up, Sense and…
