Quickie Book Review- A History Of Women In America

 

I am a bit of a history buff. I'm no expert, don't claim to be, but I am very much a nerd about learning. This book caught my interest when I saw it at the used book store. The pictures on the cover drew me in. I wanted to know about those ladies and how their lives might have looked. 

The way this book was written made these women come to life. History can be a bit dry, but this was not a book that left you needing hydration. It's engaging, lively, and very well pieced together. The pictures and illustrations are well picked and brought some of the ladies highlighted to "life." 

It's a very easily readable and well written book that will inform and in some instances thoroughly entertain you. (Some of these ladies led quite "colorful" lives!) 

Highly recommend this one! 

A Bookish December

 

I know I know, I come and then I go and then I come back and then I go again. Lately I've been contemplating the future of this blog. Should I keep it or should I let it die? I'm not ready to say goodbye to Much Read Faster, so that leaves me with no other choice but to keep on chugging. My reading has fallen into a slump of sorts, but I've been making it a daily priority and I'm feeling that sluggish bookworm start to wake up again! 

I'm dangling the carrot in front of it to get it ready to chow down on some yummy papery delights this month..

My goals for December are to gobble up 10 books. That's a doable amount I think. 

I won't make a TBR stack but I have a few in mind. 

Currently I'm reading these two: 

So those are my starting books for the month. 

I'm also thinking about doing a couple of my own personal readathons this month too. I have Wednesdays and Fridays off work, so I might just pick on of those days each week to read all day if I can? We shall see how that goes. I'm finding myself less and less attracted to doomscrolling and aimless watching of things and more drawn to my books and kindle, so I'm going to take from one bad distraction and feed a much better one. 

What are you planning this month? Do you have any goals to finish up the year? Drop me some recommendations for books that you are reading or excited about!
