I will admit- I was very reluctant to try Audible. I work hard to read at least one book each month and never thought it was “fair” to listen to chapters recited. I therefore was quick to turn up my nose. My husband, who is not and has never been a reader, urged me to… Continue reading | Checked Out: October Book Review II- Atomic Habits |

| Checked Out: October Book Review- The Flight Girls |
I have an extreme fascination with aviation and a deep love for being in the air. There is something about looking through a window and seeing soft white puffs of water vapor at eye level- It feels so unnatural, irregular. All senses intensify as gravity is defied; For me, I find myself in the clouds.… Continue reading | Checked Out: October Book Review- The Flight Girls |
| Checked Out: September Book Review- Educated |
While vacationing in Connecticut last month, I was very excited to see that a new book had been passed down from my sister in law, to my mother in law, had made its way to my nightstand. “Educated” by Tara Westover has been on my TBR list all year- Although I didn’t know what the… Continue reading | Checked Out: September Book Review- Educated |

I’m at the point of having to sneak them into the house… Continue reading | Checked Out: July Book Review- The Overdue Life of Amy Byler |
| Checked Out: June Book Review- Where The Crawdads Sing |
I paid the full hardcover price for “Where The Crawdads Sing,” by Delia Owens. I didn’t shop around, I didn’t score Target’s 30% off- the- cover steal (look out for the sticker on a lot of their books!) but merrily handed over my credit card at That Bookstore in Wethersfield, Connecticut, watched the cashier add… Continue reading | Checked Out: June Book Review- Where The Crawdads Sing |
| Coffee Date Conversations: What’s Currently Brewing- April |
This entry is long overdue, but I figured that since this is the first time actually ever drafting up a “love list,” I could take my time. The concept came to me in April, but as you are aware, the month sort of sucked for me. It was a transformative month, yes: I experienced some… Continue reading | Coffee Date Conversations: What’s Currently Brewing- April |
