So I recognize that I have really dropped the ball in posting book reviews—or anything at all—lately. What I have been doing lately is trying to read more, so I do have a good list to share with you for the last couple months. (Plus, I added a couple that I read before Christmas...

I didn’t have the chance to read as much as I would have liked this summer, anyway. I really enjoyed the books I did read, though, and...

The kids got out of school on June 8 and that first week was crazy busy.

The end of the school year is always crazy town, and I am so happy it’s summer because I can’t wait to spend more time reading—especially at the beach!

I love to read and I want to share and review the books I have read with you regularly, and I figure a “Books I Read” monthly series would be the best way to do that.

And the older my kids get, the harder parenting gets. They have so many things to deal with that I never once came up against, plus all the same hard stuff I did face as a child, too.
