I rounded up 12 of the very best books I read this year. Don’t you dare ask me which one is my favorite! Don’t even ask me to rank them in order! It was hard enough to narrow the list down to 12 when I had more than 20 that got 5-star ratings from me.
Read MoreYou know those months where you just want to read books that feel good? That was me this November. Romances + mysteries + a few non-fiction reads to inspire and motivate, and I was a happy little reader this month!
Read MoreIt can be a risky thing to buy books for the booklover in your life, as chances are, they’ve either read it or bought it or have it on hold at the library. Better to go with a book-adjacent gift, am I right? These are all fun and affordable gift ideas for any and every bookworm you know.
Read MoreOctober, I love you so much. Thank you for bringing fall leaves and fall weather (FINALLY) and the end of spooky season. Thanks for all the books and for new mystery series and for really good YA reads. You’re my favorite.
Read MoreIn my efforts to avoid any and all outdoor activity since September decided to be hotter than summer, I read like 5 million books this month, so there’s lots to share here!
Read MoreIt’s such a sweet time of the year, and these books (for some reason or another) bring to mind those autumnal feelings for me! They’d make for great reading over the next few months and I’ve personally loved each one.
Read MoreAugust got off to a slow start but ended strong just in time for September and FALL to begin. Let’s go!
Read MoreWhile I obviously can’t recommend a book for each and every one of you for the year you were born, I thought it would be fun to look back at the 1990s (the decade I was born in!) and the 80s (just for fun!) to highlight a few books that have stood the test of time!
Read MoreAttending the Evolving Faith Conference this year? Want to read all the books by the amazing lineup of speakers? I’ve rounded them all up here! If you aren’t attending but want to read great, diverse, life-changing books on faith from brilliant minds, look no further!
Read MoreI compiled this post from a hybrid of Amazon bestsellers, a Goodreads list of most popular books of 2019, New York Times bestsellers, and my own Instagram browsing. It’s not at all an exact science, but more a loose guide to what’s making the rounds, topping the charts, and getting buzz around the bookish world so far this year— hope you find some gems on this list to read and enjoy!
Read MoreJuly was full of so, so many library books (SORRY, books i already own! i promise i’ll read all of you eventually!) and lots of Colleen Hoover and mostly easy, breezy romances… but hey, it’s summer, so NO SHAME.
Read MoreHaving a weird diet means that’s inevitable, yeah, but food is just fascinating to me and I absolutely love reading about, learning about it, cooking it, growing it, and eating it (of course). I’ve loved reading more foodie books in recent years, and thought it would be fun to include this category in A RAD Reading Challenge!
Read MoreI knew nothing about these books, but their beautiful covers alone caught my eye and drew me in. High five for good design!
Read MoreIt’s been such a solid year of reading so far, but thankfully, of the 80+ books I’ve read so far in 2019, I only gave 5-star ratings to 12! Picking my halfway top ten from that list wasn’t too terribly hard… these are all SUCH winners.
Read MoreGetting rid of books is not easy, I know. (This is coming from a girl who has hundreds of unread book on her shelves, so clearly I haven’t mastered the whole “minimalism” thing yet…) But no matter how many books you prefer to keep, or how many you have room for, there comes a time for all of us where we realize we need to let some beloved books go…
Read MoreI knew it would be fun to get creative with the prompts for A RAD Reading Challenge and include “A book with a cover in your favorite color” as one of them. There are SO MANY beautiful and colorful book covers out there, but I wanted to share a rainbow of ideas to get you started.
Read MoreAhhhh, sweet summertime. Wait, just kidding — this is my least favorite season by FAR. Thankfully, though, the days are longer and the extra sunlight motivates me to read even more than usual…
