Binge-Worthy Television Shows (Part II)

It gets dark so early during winter I find myself watching a lot more television than I should.  If you are like me and need a few recommendations for shows to get obsessed with I hope my list helps.

October Book Reads

Four book reviews and recommendations for the month of October.  From a story about a teen mom forced to give up her baby to a love story based in Milwaukee this month's reads featured women. #bookrecommendations #booklover

For the month of October I seemed to be in a very female-driven book mode.  Ranging from a very serious (and true!) topic of how the Catholic Church turned orphanages into mental institutions for more money to Mindy Kaling’s book with funny anecdotes about the start of her career there is a variety to choose from.  I hope at least one of these books catches your interest.

September Book Reads

September Book Reviews Title

Apparently, I was very into history for this month’s book reviews and recommendations.  From reading about Alexander Hamilton as told through the viewpoint of his wife to the Armenian genocide to a fun book by a Wisconsin author, I really enjoyed reading each story this month.  I hope you find a book or two you might enjoy yourself!

The Best Gift I Ever Received

Gift

The best material gift I have ever received is my Kindle – hands down!
