Books in 2018

On a roll! Second post!

I read some great books in 2018. Here is a quick list of what I read (I am sure forgetting a ton). And also, some that I want to read in 2019:

2018:

A Man Called Ove
Redeeming Love
The Greart Alone
By Invitation Only
Before We Were Yours
The Wedding Date
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
The Light we Lost
Now That You Mention It
An American Marriage
Lilac Girls
The Next Best Thing
On Second Thought
If You Only Knew
The Best Man
Without Merit
My Life Next Door
Class Mom
The Identicals
All Summer Long
After I Do
The Little Way of Ruthie Leming
My Oxford Year
Still Me
Little Fires Everywhere
A Nantucket Wedding
The Secret Life of Violet Grant
Winter in Paradise
Castle of Water
Girl Wash Your Face

I did not actually READ all of these- I listened to many of them.... Which I read someone on Instagram that said unless you actually READ the books, listening is like just having story time. Whatever. I disagree. I love listening to books!

If you are looking for my top three recs this year, I would say.....
1. The Great Alone
2. Little Fires Everywhere
3. Before we were yours OR Lilac Girls

So, here are some that I am hoping to cover in 2019:

I am currently listening to Nine Perfect Strangers, and won't finish until 2019.
And I am reading Where the Crawdads Sing.

Want to read:
Swear on this Life
Becoming Mrs. Lewis
The Dinner List
The Last Mrs. Parrish


Need more suggestions!!!!





 

Oh heyyyy, 2019

Well well well....
 2018 is coming to a close and I have not blogged much AT ALL.

And then a friend was having a tough parenting day. So I scrolled through the ol' blog and sent her this post.  And I felt connected to another momma. And I made her laugh. I am sure a lot. Y'all go read that one too, if you need a laugh.

Then my sister in law is working up the nerve to sleep train her sweet baby....and I again, went back to the blog to remind myself what HORRIBLE sleepers my babies were.

And yet another friend asked for book recommendations and I was sad I haven't kept up with posting about books because I have read some good ones! I'd like to post about them if for nothing else, so I can remember what I have read-- the brain is a tad foggy, you know.

Y'all I love this little blog. I wish I could find an easier way to post all the time. I want to post constantly. I am inheriting Ed's iPad in the new year. I am typing this post from it to see how it goes. It will not be easy to get pics on here, I don't think... But I am going to make an effort on here.

I don't do new year resolutions, per se. But I will TRY to be better about certain things....

Bring on the blog posts!
