With the help of the @overdrive_libs #Libbyapp and my local libraries, I read 57 grown-up books in 2019. I've been reflecting on my reading habits and setting goals for this year. .

What are your reading goals for 2020?

December Reading Wrap-Up
.
Listened to all the grown-up books as audiobooks, via the @overdrive_libs #Libbyapp. Was pleasantly surprised that the timing of my library hold synced up with the titular month of the @josiesilverauthor novel. Multiple moments of parenting clarity and loads of #LovingMommy takeaways from @teacherlahey made The Gift of Failure my top read this month.
All three youth chapter books had us giggling! .

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!
While I'm a library lover and rarely buy books (because I'm #frugalAF), I strongly believe books can make excellent gifts, especially for children. My kiddos received this beautifully-illustrated holiday book featuring our local celebrity, #Fionathehippo! .

What books did you find under the tree?

I finished listening to The Farm (via the #Libbyapp) almost 2 weeks ago and I cannot stop thinking about it. @joanneramosthefarm artfully explores power and privilege, poverty, immigration, sacrifice, surrogacy, and motherhood with complex characters in an dsytopian situation.
Have you read this one yet? What did you think?

November Reading Wrap-Up
.
Listened to all the grown-up books as audiobooks, via the @overdrive_libs #Libbyapp. The Farm was my favorite read this month; I'm still digesting it!
We are continuing to laugh out loud to Beverly Cleary's Henry Huggins series most nights. .

Happy National Princess Day! Flashback to Friday when @midpointe_library Trenton hosted storytime and crafts with some favorite @disney characters! I never cease to be amazed by the quality of #freelibraryprograms! Definitely a memorable #LibraryAdventure!

First book of November finished on 11/4. Quick and engaging read by @christinalauren, narrated by @mallonerin. The #Libbyapp is my favorite for listening to audiobooks. What's your take on the latest Christina Lauren release?

October Reading Wrap-Up
.
The month started slow for me but ended solidly (2 books read in the last week). Read The Overdue Life of Amy Byler in print and listened to the other grown-up books as audiobooks, via the @overdrive_libs #Libbyapp. Picking a favorite is tough, but Tata Westover's Educated had me absolutely enthralled! I am still in awe that it is a true story!
We are on a Beverly Cleary kick and enjoyed the first three Henry Huggins books throughout October. Some of my favorite moments this month were reading aloud chapters as we enjoyed a family walk post-dinner. 🍁🍂
