Monthly reviews and recommendations about books I am reading plus movies guides on various topics.
I got some great reading in this month. I’ve found that my optimal reading situation is to have one book I’m reading on my Kindle and one book that I’m listening to on Audible. Switching back and forth is not a problem, especially if the books are very different. Read my four new book reviews below to see if there are any that pique your interest.
I used to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by “running” a .5K (yes you read that right) which earned you a cup to fill up at numerous local bars. These days I set up elaborate leprechaun traps with my children and have a more laid-back celebration. If you too are celebrating at home this year might I suggest some delicious Irish food and a romantic Irish movie. Here are three of my favorite movies to watch on St. Patrick’s Day.
This year we requested a number of Valentine’s Day children’s books from our library. There were a few books I didn’t end up including on this list because the stories focused on fighting or being upset someone liked them. Instead, I wanted to feature books about love and the activities surrounding Valentine’s Day (parties, making cards, etc). I will continue to add books to this list over time that both my toddler and preschooler love and make me read over and over and over.
