Before I jump into it, though, I wanted to mention a few caveats. I’m hoping to return to my regular blogging schedule, but there's a lot going on in my life. Unfortunately, we had a loss in the family, and catching up on… Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2023

As per tradition, I am back to share my favorite reads of 2022. Before I jump into it, though, I wanted to mention a few caveats.  My original website template retired. (RIP, Bueno. You served me well–and for ten years!) I’m now using Button 2. I might be changing it intermittently as I try to… Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2022

My Favorite Books of 2021

Every year I blog about my favorite reads, though I admit that this year was hard! I went really out of my comfort zone and read a lot of age categories and genres, but particularly adult romance, including the famous Ice Planet Barbarians series. This was also just a busy year in general for me.… Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2021

My Favorite Books of 2019

According to Goodreads, I’ve read 98 books this year, and it was the year of the audiobook! My new job requires a lot of driving around to various library locations. I’m often spending 2 hours on the road, an hour there, an hour back. I’ve really embraced my time in the car by listening to… Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2019

I also started working in a library, which helped my ability to find new books, try more… Continue reading My Favorite Books of 2018

So I thought I’d stop in and say hi since it’s been a while. Since October, I had another huge life change that is pretty exciting. I accepted a full-time position at the library in marketing, as the Branch Programming and Community Engagement Associate, which means I am focusing on understanding our demographics and making sure… Continue reading SAT Update

My Favorite YA Books of 2017

Shannon A Thompson12 Comments

I’m judging this based on what I read in 2017, not necessarily books that released in 2017, and I’m only focusing on YA. If you want a complete list of books I read, check out my Goodreads challenge. A lot of these books could fall into more than one category, but I didn’t want repeats, so… Continue reading My Favorite YA Books of 2017

Writing Tips: Mother’s Day & Childhood Inspiration

Shannon A Thompson12 Comments

Now, I have to admit that I'm unsure if this qualifies as "writing tips" or not, but I can't seem to think of another way to explain it other than to explain recent events in my life and how I got to this decision to post about this. On Friday night, I was driving home… Continue reading Writing Tips: Mother’s Day & Childhood Inspiration
