It doesn’t feel like spring today but a few of the books I review below would be perfect to take on a spring break trip or will at least get you in a sunnier mood. I’ve read 34 books since the beginning of the year. I only ever review four books a month on this blog but I do rate each book I read over on my Instagram page (@planningforkeeps) if you are interested in even more book reviews/ratings.
Our oldest is about to turn seven and I now feel I have a good grasp on what six-year-olds really enjoy. Below you’ll find gift ideas in a variety of categories for 6-year-olds. I never differentiate gifts or toys based on gender because what you enjoy doing and playing with as a child has NOTHING to do with your gender. Try to get to know the child you are shopping for and their particular interests but these gift ideas have been real winners for many kids we know.
The first half of February was amazing. My schedule was full of date nights, parties, and special events. The last half was awful. Basically, I’ve been coughing up a lung for over a week now. When I’m sick I tend to disregard all of my normal responsibilities but I am able to get in more reading than normal (bonus!). Below are the reviews of a few of the books I read this month.
My reading has been off to an excellent start this year! I’ve begun to mix in paper books alongside my Kindle and audiobooks because I get sick of waiting for my e-books to become available on the Libby app. I hate that I can only put on hold 10 books at a time through my library. I’m very much considering getting non-resident library cards all over the country for this reason. Below are my January book reviews from a good variety of genres to get your reading started off right in 2024.
