MOMMYING

This week's book blog: The Human Library, Legos typewriter, Empire of Pain review, The Prophets for Pride, Cover of the Week & more!

This week I chat about bookish acronyms, Stacey Abrams as novelist & more, plus I review 2 books including The Dictionary of Lost Words.

Where to start with my first post of 2021? As you know, I usually start these posts with a bit of personal information and talk about my love of books/reading and how it informs the life I'm currently living and what's happening in our world. And with the insurgent attack on our nation's Capitol this week--aside from being upsetting and infuriating--I, of course, turned to books for context, information, historical reference, and solace. In the last few years, I've become mor

"...how did I not know Judy Blume owns and literally works in her own bookstore in Florida! ReadingWhileMommying field trip post COVID?"

"It’s been one of those weeks where I want to bury my head in the pages of my current read and live in a fictional world."

This summer, I turned to romance books to ease my sadness and buoy my spirit.
