Truly the best part of TikTok, though, is #booktok — a beautiful place where readers of all kinds talk about books, share recs, and nerd out about reading. I’ve discovered so many amazing new books because of recommendations on #booktok, and have rounded up some of my favorites here today!
Read MoreIf you missed it, I launched a new version of A RAD Reading Challenge for 2022, and you can find the printable version and Instagram story versions here. About once a month, I’ll be sharing recommendations for the different prompts to help give you inspiration and ideas for what to read.
Read MoreOut of the (nearly) 200 books I read in 2021, these are the ones that were my favorites. I really don’t give out five star ratings frivolously, so these are books that I truly loved (but for all different reasons).
Read MoreI love the rhythms of the church calendar and the way my soul seems to need Advent right when it arrives, every single year. It’s a season preparing for the arrival of Jesus as a baby in our world, and a season full of waiting, longing, preparing, watching, and moving toward hope.
Read MoreA RAD Reading Challenge is a fun, motivating, inspiring, and easy way to branch out and read more, get out of reading ruts, and discover new kinds of books. Join us this year!
Read MoreThis is by no means a comprehensive list of all the books I loved in my childhood (ya girl MAXED OUT that library card often!), but are some of my favorites that I have held onto all these years later.
Read MoreI took my big solo road trip this month, so I did NOT expect to finish this many books, but a few audiobooks on the road helped! I had more one-star reads than ever this month, which was not super fun… here’s to better books to finish this year strong!
Read MoreWe are thick into spooky season, especially with Halloween right around the corner, and I rounded up 15 of the best mysteries and thrillers I’ve read. All of these were four or five star favorites for me, meaning I either really liked them, or totally loved them. (The five star reads are the first five listed!)
Read MoreThe first half of this month was full of a lot of books (although not many winners…) and then I basically stopped reading entirely? Thanks, depression…
Read MorePhew, it was a SOLID month of reading! It helps that I traveled and had time to read on flights (PRAISE), and that I had some housesitting time that involved days spent by the pool, and that I did I spent the last weekend of the month doing a readathon that resulted in 4 books being read over 2 days!
Read MoreIt’s officially (a little more than) halfway through 2021, and I have read 95 books so far, with 22 of them rating 5-stars! I rounded up my halfway top 12 books (I know the trend is to pick 10, but that was too hard!) — all were 5-star favorites, all are books I highly recommend, and hopefully they reflect diverse reading options and authors, too!
Read MoreI continue to hardly read during the weeks and then read ALL THE THINGS on the weekends (thank you, Sabbath!) and my Goodreads challenge continues to stress me out with its reminders of how behind schedule I am… but whatever! Here’s to reading for FUN when we want to and not getting stressed about it!
Read MoreI’m always surprised that I read at ALL during birthday month, when there are so many festivities to be had! But this month stepped things up as I tried to catch up on the Goodreads goal that was seriously slacking… but overall, not a ton of great reads this month.
Read MoreSummer just screams “TIME TO READ!” to me… anybody else? I don’t just crave breezy beach reads in the summer either— I want a variety of things just like during the rest of the year, so that’s what you’ll find here, too! I’ve rounded up 15 favorites (a mix of old and new, fiction and nonfiction, from diverse authors) plus 5 new releases that are coming this summer.
Read MoreI’m slowing down on my reading progress and it’s starting to bum me out… but then I remember I still read 13 books this month and several of them were real favorites... so I want to celebrate that! Slow and steady is the name of the game right now, and I’m giving myself grace that it’s okay to not be flying through books all the time.
Read MoreHad some amazing reads this month, and some duds, but that’s life. It was a female-heavy month, but I didn’t read as diversely as I ideally would like, so I’m focusing more on that in April!
Read MoreA solid (even thought it felt slow) month of reading! Started strong focusing on Black authors, trailed off as I got preorders in the mail and Netflix distracted me with Firefly Lane.
