April 2022 Book Reviews and Recommendations

I never got around to writing up my March book reviews (that’s never happened before!). Life seems extra busy right now even though it’s really not. Maybe during the pandemic I just forgot how to multi-task? Anyway, I have a ton of reviews backlogged so it’s a possibility I can write two April book recommendations blog posts if I can get caught up on my to-do list. Here’s part one;

February 2022 Book Reviews and Recommendations

Summer Movies

Best Summer Movies

I love summer.  I wish it were summer all year long.  School is out, the beach, vacations, what’s not to love? I went to summer camp(s) every single summer growing up (and was even a counselor when I got older).  Summer is my jam and that is why I made a movie guide featuring movies that take place during summer.  I feel like I am missing a few important ones though.  Please comment if you have a favorite summer movie I didn’t include.

Falling in Love with Love . . . February is one of the better months of the year because it is the shortest winter month, the Superbowl and Academy Awards are both held during, and I look good in red. Being that it is the month of love, I thought I would touch on the subject with another movie guide.  The following movie guide is not totally focused on romance but instead on a movie genre I love . . . MUSICALS.  Obviously, love is almost always the main focal point of a musical but the dancing and singing are the parts that make my heart swell.

Here’s to a new year with new book reviews and recommendations. A book I reviewed this month is one of the BEST I’ve read (listened to) in a long time. I was smiling and laughing throughout the whole thing. I hope you find a great book to start off the year right with some pleasurable reading.
