Currently reading: I got through some of Good Inside by Becky Kennedy but not as much as I would have liked. My partner is on a business trip, so I don’t get much of a break from the kiddos to relax and read. Maybe next week?
I did make some progress on Running is a Kind of Dreaming by J.M. Thompson thanks to better weather and a good chance to take some walks. I’m loving it.

Recently finished: I was shocked that I was able to wrap up Más allá de la magia (Beyond the Wand) by Tom Felton last week. The baby took a shockingly long nap, and I finished it up while they were sleeping. It was such a happy surprise for myself! I’m not done with the review yet and that might be a little bit, but I’m working on it. Tentatively, I’ve given the book Three out of Five Stars

Reading next: I’ve decided my next up book will be The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles. It’s a long one but I own a copy so I can take my time getting through it.
My next ebook plan is still The Last Chairlift by John Irving. It will be nice to move into some more fiction soon.

Currently reading: I finished a chapter in Más allá de la magia (Beyond the Wand) by Tom Felton but I’m feeling better about getting some more reading in as the weather warms up. Baby loves contact naps and I love sitting outside with a book. I think we can make this work.
I’m in a part of Good Inside by Becky Kennedy that feels really relevant to my toddler and some of the struggles we’re having with them so I’ve been reading it a bit more dilligently. But I’m also trying to catch up on some shows I like. So there’s a bit of a struggle to give this time still.
I made some good progress in Running is a Kind of Dreaming by J.M. Thompson on audio. With the nicer weather, I’ve been able to do walks more consistently which has been great. Twenty minutes a day isn’t a lot, but it gets me through this eventually.

Recently finished: No new books finished but I did finally get to my review of Vita Brevis by Ruth Downie! I ended up giving the book Three out of Five Stars which seems low for how much I enjoyed it but I can’t bring myself to make it Four. I’m looking forward to more from this series.

Reading next: I’m using The Last Chairlift by John Irving as motivationg to keep reading my current ebook! I think I need some fiction with two memoirs and a self-help book on the go.

Currently reading: Nothing in Más allá de la magia (Beyond the Wand) by Tom Felton yet again. It was nice out and now it’s not so I have no idea when I’ll have time to read this again. I hope Spring sticks around soon.
I got through a little bit of Good Inside by Becky Kennedy, but not much. This is easy to pick up and put down which is a blessing and a curse.
I started Running is a Kind of Dreaming by J.M. Thompson on audio which was nice for a long drive I had recently. It’s good so far and I’m looking forward to getting more into the author’s background.

Recently finished: Nothing new this week. I was out of town a few days which slowed down my reading a lot. I’m one review behind but hoping to be caught up on it by next week.

Reading next: The plan for an ebook is still The Last Chairlift by John Irving. Maybe I can use that to motivate myself to keep reading.

Currently reading: Nothing in Más allá de la magia (Beyond the Wand) by Tom Felton again. Picking up a book has just not been in the cards for me. I know I’ll get back to it eventually so I’m trying not to stress it.
I continue to be slow through Good Inside by Becky Kennedy. It’s been nice to just watch something mindless instead of reading lately while little one is eating. Maybe non fiction is not for me right now. I really do want to finish this, though, because it’s been really insightful about my toddler’s behavior.

Recently finished: It took me ages to finish the last five minutes of Vita Brevis by Ruth Downie. It felt like a miracle to finally wrap it up. I really like this series and I’m sad to be coming toward the end of it after many years. I think I only have one full novel left and a novella. I’ll be working on a review later but this is a busy week so it might be a while before I wrap it up.

Reading next: The plan for an ebook is still The Last Chairlift by John Irving but it’s starting to feel really far off.
I’ll be picking up Running is a Kind of Dreaming by J.M. Thompson as soon as I can. I’m excited to get into a new book.

Currently reading: I finally got some reading done in Más allá de la magia (Beyond the Wand) by Tom Felton. I’m happy with the one chapter, as small as that might be. Baby is finally taking naps where I’m not holding them and it’s freeing up so much time!
It’s finally warming up so I’m hopeful I can get some more listening time with Vita Brevis by Ruth Downie. I’m liking the story a lot and Vance is a favorite narrator. This should be the next book I finish.
Slow progress through Good Inside by Becky Kennedy again. I found a show I’ve been enjoying so more of my sitting time has been watching instead of reading. I’m almost done with the season, though! Hoping to take a break from it and get some other things done.

Recently finished: Nothing new again. I’m still really happy with my progress so far since Baby was born so I’m not going to stress it.

Reading next: I’ll plan on The Last Chairlift by John Irving being next for an ebook but I’m moving so slowly there.
I need a plan for an audiobook, too. It’s going to be Running is a Kind of Dreaming by J.M. Thompson. I hope to get back to running in the future so maybe this will help motivate me!

Currently reading: I read a whole page from Más allá de la magia (Beyond the Wand) by Tom Felton! Some progress is better than none. It’s looking like the weather is going to stay warm finally so I’m hopeful for some good time reading on the porch in the coming weeks.
My walks are still down and I’m going to blame starting physical therapy. I’m so tired from that I’ve skipped walks! Hoping the warmer weather gets me outside a little bit more so I can listen to more of Vita Brevis by Ruth Downie.
After such a whirlwind through my last ebook, I was hoping I’d fly through Good Inside by Becky Kennedy as well. It’s been slower but I’m still chipping away at it as much as I can each day.

Recently finished: Nothing new finished but I did post my review for Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakaur. I flew through this book and found it absolutely fascinating. I’ve heard there’s a mini series but I’m not sure I have the right apps to watch it. I’m not sure I’d want to, either, because the crime at the center of the story was a lot to handle and postpartum me isn’t great at really emotional things right now.

Reading next: It still looks like The Last Chairlift by John Irving will be my next ebook. Unless I get through a lot more audio time this week, that will be what I’m looking for next.

Currently reading: No progress this week in Más allá de la magia (Beyond the Wand) by Tom Felton unfortunately. I think we’ll have some more good weather soon and I can read on the porch again, but until then it’s not looking good. We might be getting back to a time I can read before bed, but it will be inconsistent. I’m still looking forward to it.
We had some cold weather last week that minimized walks while listening to Vita Brevis by Ruth Downie. It’s supposed to get warm again after some rain so I’ll be optimistic here!
I decided to skip around my TBR a bit for my new ebook. I’m usually very religious about following it, but I’ve been wating to get into Good Inside by Becky Kennedy. I follow Kennedy on Instagram and think this might be helpful with handling my toddler’s emotional rollarcoaster lately. At least I hope it will help me stay a little calmer. I just started yesterday and hoping to move through it quickly!

Recently finished: My ebook speed is on point and I flew through the rest of Can I Say by Travis Barker. I posted my review on Monday and ended up giving this one Three out of Five Stars. I wasn’t a huge fan of the writing style, but Barker is a musician, not a writer, and I tried to be forgiving of that. I found it pretty interesting, even if I didn’t relate well to the people in Barker’s life.
More on the ebook front to report. I flew through Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakaur. This absolutely fascinated me. I knew very little about Mormonism so I learned a lot. The main story was a little hard to stomach, but the historical context Krakaur gives is fascinating. I’ll hope to have a review up next week.

Reading next: With how fast I’m getting through ebooks, I think I’ll need a plan for my next one. Going back to my TBR, I’m hoping to grab The Last Chairlift by John Irving. Irving has written some of my favorite books, and also some flops that I had to really try to finish. This is one of his latest offerings which I’ve historically enjoyed more. We’ll see how it goes.

Currently reading: We had one nice day last week and I used it to sit outside and read Más allá de la magia (Beyond the Wand) by Tom Felton on my porch. It was absolutely love and I can’t wait until the weather stays nicer and I can do that more often.
I didn’t get in as many walks this past week so my progress on Vita Brevis by Ruth Downie has slowed down. We all had a mild cold so there was a lot of resting.
Can I Say by Travis Barker is where I’ve made huge progress. I’ve made a habit of picking it up almost every time I nurse and reading for ten minutes or so. I’m already 3/4 done! I think my new mom ebook reading is going to be great!

Recently finished: Nothing this week but last week was so good that I can’t complain! I think I’ll have an ebook finised by next week.

Reading next: I have a hold on Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakaur as an ebook so I’m planning to pick that up next. I’m hoping it’s as quick a read as my current ebook! I love getting ebooks from my library so I don’t have to add any more errands than necessary to my life right now.

Currently reading: I’m accepting that I’ll be stuck on Más allá de la magia (Beyond the Wand) by Tom Felton for a while. It’s so hard to find time to pick up a physical book when you’re constantly holding a baby. I’m ok with this one lingering for a while.
I made decent progress in Vita Brevis by Ruth Downie. When my kid is asleep for a bit, I’ll put this audio on and knit a few rows before they wake up screaming again. It’s a nice break for a few minutes.
I started Can I Say by Travis Barker as an ebook. So far, it’s interesting but I’m not a huge fan of the writing style which is keeping me from being more engaged. It feels very free of emotion which is making empathy hard.

Recently finished: I was able to wrap up Servant of the Underworld by Aliette de Bodard during an overnight nursing session! I’m glad to be done with this one because it lingered for so long. I wasn’t a massive fan, honestly. I gave the book Two out of Five Stars and posted my review yesterday.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’m caught up on reviews! I had time to review Saints and Misfits by S.K. Ali and posted my review on Monday! I gave it Three out of Five Stars, please check it out.

Reading next: I don’t really have a plan right now and I don’t think I’ll need one before next week. I’m thinking an ebook might be next for me if I can keep up the habbit of reading during feedings that I’ve been doing. We’ll see.

Currently reading: I think I’m finally in the home stretch with Servant of the Underworld by Aliette de Bodard. Reading it at least once a day has really helped and I’m over 80% now and in the final battle. Hoping to finish this by next week!
Still no progress with Más allá de la magia (Beyond the Wand) by Tom Felton. Sleep is getting better so we can be optimistic, but this one might sit for a while.
I had some more time to my self than expected late last week and was able to start Vita Brevis by Ruth Downie on audio. I love the sarcastic humor of this author and the audiobook narrator nails it so I’m loveing the listening experience!

Recently finished: I surprisied myself by finishing Saints and Misfits by S.K. Ali last week. I guess my walks and a few drives gave me the time I needed! I’m working on a review but it’s a slow process so more to come on that soon! I’m hopeful it wil be ready late this week or early next week, but we’ll see. I’m strangely busy for someone who’s only job is keeping a newborn alive.

Reading next: I’m excited to jump into Can I Say by Travis Barker. I’ve had good luck with memoirs for the past few months so I’m optimistic.
