I’m currently reading some great books and my to be read pile is stacked with gems!! I’m so excited to dive into my summer reading. What are you looking forward to reading?

My reading month.
4⭐️ - The Hunger Games prequel, Sunrise on the Reaping, did not disappoint! It’s a must read for Hunger Games fans. I also really liked The Push. So dark and disturbing.

4⭐️ - Funny Story, The God of the Woods, Girls Like Her, All the Little Monsters, & Grounded

5🌟 - In Search of April Raintree (inspired to reread it for at least the third time after listening to Beatrice Mosionier speak at a conference mid-month) & You’d Be Home Now (a crushing YA novel).

Wow! It’s been a while since I had a great reading month like this! I read 11 books and gave seven of them 4 or 5 star reviews! (However, I did also have my first DNF of 2025, not pictured)

Can't remember when (if ever) I have solved purple first.

I’m currently reading another 2 great ones but unsure what to read next. What are you reading and loving these days?

It’s been a while that I had a month with no children’s or teen books, but here we are. March was a mixed bag; a couple of these only got 2 star reviews from me, but wow, did I love a few too!
4⭐️ for The Wedding People, The House of Eve, and Remarkably Bright Creatures. Highly recommend these ones!

February Books
Decent reads, but nothing fabulous. I gave Better Than the Movies 4 stars because the intended audience will love it. 😉
Lincoln Highway was…interesting. And long.
And I think I’ve read enough of The Selection series.

Searching for reasonably priced canned (pate-style) cat food options that are a product of Canada/Made in Canada, etc. 🇨🇦 - Any suggestions for us?

Light reading month to start 2025, with only 4 finished.

Finally got around to starting The Housemaid series, which I enjoyed, as well as The Selection series, on my daughter’s recommendation, which I surprisingly liked too! (Both my 4/5 stars for the month)

How fun! I became a @bookcreator.com Champion. I'm looking forward to promoting this fun and engaging educational tool that I have fallen in love with over the past year!
