7 High Quality Graphic Novels for Young Readers

July 17, 2020 By Haley 6 Comments

I shared all about our daily reading hour and suggestions for good summer reading choices for young readers last month. But I thought I'd follow it up with a post about good graphic novels. To be honest, I haven't always been excited about graphic novels. Captain Underpants and Dog Man make me want to tear my hair out. I have a visceral reaction! And I think because of some of the twaddle … [Read more...]

How to Make a Yearly Reading List (as a Grown Up)

January 4, 2017 By Haley 19 Comments

Want to make a reading list for YOU? Here's all the bookish advice on how to do it.

image source After I posted my 2017 reading list, I had a few questions on social media about how I come up with my yearly lists, why I make them, and how it works for me. I thought it might be helpful to walk you through it in case anyone is a bookish list-making mood! Why Make a List? I make a yearly list for a few reasons. While I’m not by nature a list maker, giving myself a little yearly … [Read more...]

My Reading List for 2017 (And What I Read in 2016)

December 29, 2016 By Haley 51 Comments

My Reading List for 2017 (And What I Read Last Year)

This post contains Amazon affiliate links. I'm so excited about my reading list for 2017! I've already gotten started on my first book (a Dorothy Sayers mystery). I feel FREE because for the past two years I've included a huge and overwhelming classic that TOOK OVER the year. In 2015 it was Les Miserables and in 2016 it was The Brothers Karamazov. I'm not doing that to myself this year. There's … [Read more...]

My Reading List for 2016

January 4, 2016 By Haley 20 Comments

A reading list of fiction and non-fiction for 2016!

Happy New Year, sweet readers! I've finally put together my 2016 reading list. I didn't finish my 2015 list (although I read 24 books, so that's not bad!). I always start out planning to read two books a month, but then I add all sorts of books spur of the moment because if you can't read what you want when you want, what's the point of being a grown up? I always try to tackle one big classic a … [Read more...]

What I Read in 2014

December 21, 2014 By Haley 54 Comments

what I read in 2014 // Carrots for Michaelmas

I don't know why I'm so nosy about other people's reads, but...I totally am. And since some of you might be fellow bookshelf snoopers, I thought I'd share the books I read in 2014. In exchange, you have to tell me all about your favorite reads of 2014 in the comments! The one thing I hate about making these lists is that I always feel like I've missed a book....or ten. Non-Fiction I am … [Read more...]

Reading Goals for 2013

January 15, 2013 By Haley 71 Comments

I feel pretty glum about the length of my 2012 completed reads. It was a year of sleep-deprivation and pregnancy nausea but I think that if ahead of time I'd had a plan for completing all the books I wanted to finish, maybe I wouldn't have dropped the ball? So, to have some accountability, I want to post my reading goals for 2013 and leave a little breathing room for your suggestions (I added … [Read more...]

Books I Read in 2012

January 9, 2013 By Haley 50 Comments

I adore perusing everyone's reading lists from the previous year, so I thought I’d share mine as well. Though, I warn you, it’s not at all impressive! An infant that woke several times a night for the first half of the year, and the terrible morning sickness accompanying a new pregnancy during the second half of the year meant that any brain cells left for reading were in short supply. But without … [Read more...]
