Hi, hello, it's me. I am alive and well, with a one year old crawling around my feet as I write this. So much has happened this year, and also, I read a lot of books. Back in January, I set a Goodreads goal of 52 books. I figured one book a week was a reasonable expectation for life with a newborn.
Over the past few years, I've read a lot of books that feature female characters that have stuck with me and lived in my soul. If you're looking to expand your reading, or just wanting a fun book to pick up in the month of March, I have a few suggestions...
Everything from lighthearted humor to poignant historical fiction to crazy thrillers to mindblowing nonfiction -- no genre was untouched, and I am so grateful to these stories for getting me through this hectic season.

While no book can recreate the nostalgia from reading this series for the first time (trust me, I've tried), I thought I would put together a list of recommendations for those adults who love Harry and want some fiction that captures some of the same essence of what we loved about that series growing up.
The social distancing period has not been kind to me in many ways, but the books on my bookshelf have been overjoyed by it.
It's Women's History Month, and I read A LOT of books by women. Here are some recommendations for anyone looking to celebrate Women's History Month with books by and about women.
I hit 100 this year. Actually, I hit 101. And I'm still in shock about it. I read some really great books this year, with a few surprises that I weren't expecting to be so great.
