Monthly reviews and recommendations about books I am reading plus movies guides on various topics.
With the holidays coming up you may find yourself needing gift ideas for yourself or others. You might also have a little extra time for reading with all the impending holiday travel. Check out my recommendations and reviews of the following books and you may find something you like.
While on “maternity leave” (aka I’m a stay-at-home mom and my husband has 3 weeks off) I needed to watch some guilty pleasure movies. Guilty pleasure movies are movies that are embarrassing for you to admit how much you like them. But they serve a purpose and if they bring you joy who cares! First of all, these movies don’t require any thinking or remembering. The films are not complicated so you can drift off to sleep, wake up, and still not really have missed anything. Also, guilty pleasure movies have happy endings and will leave you feeling good after watching them. Here is a list of a few of my guilty pleasure movies;
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.
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.
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!
