The Book Bit: April 2019 Ed.

I'm so on my game this month, I'm shocked! I finished all my books with a week to spare. Good thing too, because we've been crazy busy. Anybody else feeling the pressures of Spring Cleaning, gardening, and getting the house ready for the upcoming summer? It probably doesn't help that I'm about to have my third (yes, third!) kid in two weeks. I look around and only see all the work that still needs doing, but have absolutely no energy to do it! My poor husband has been run ragged every spare minute he's not at work. Anyway, I hope everyone's April has been great. We love the weather now that all the snow is gone. We still get the occasional cold day when the heater needs to be kicked on, but overall, we're delighted. Now, let's talk about books!

The Book Bit: March 2019 Ed.

I hope everyone had a pleasant March and an exciting Spring Break. We got tons and tons of rain and snow melt. If you heard about the floods in Nebraska, now you know someone who lives near the action! Thankfully the flooding is subsiding, slowly, but there's still tons of damage and families without homes. We were lucky enough not to be directly affected, but much of our community is suffering. Keep sending us all your good vibes and thoughts, we sure need them! Moving on. I managed to (barely) read three outstanding books this month. I hope some of you took a book vacation over Spring Break! That was always my favorite thing to do when I got a break from school. My mom, sister, and I would go to the library, stock up on books, and just read. Great memories there. If you read something you think I'd like, let me know! Let's get started. "Black Klansman"- Ron Stallworth This book recently got a film adaption, so of course, I needed to read it before...
