2015 Reading Wrap-Up

Well, we are on to a new year! Every year seems to go by faster than the last...it must be a side-effect of growing up. Anyways, every year, I like to keep track of how many books I read. I like to go back throughout the year and look at my lists for each year, remembering the books I read and the events of my life that were happening while I was reading them.

I think next year, I am going to keep track of pages as well as number of books. I was behind on my reading goal for the year, so I read a ton of shorter books in December to reach that goal. I think that keeping track of pages will be a more accurate count of how much I'm reading.

What were some of your favorite books that you read in 2015?
Happy New Year!

Rainy Days

Image
Good morning, everyone! I woke up this morning to a dreary, rainy day. Wisconsin has been getting a whole lot of these lately (I think the weather knows how badly I want to go to England and is preparing me). While sunny days are so nice and you can actually go outside without getting soaked, rainy days are sometimes the best kinds of days. There are some great things about rainy days, such as... playing in puddles sitting under a soft blanket with a warm mug of hot chocolate and a good book thunderstorms at night getting to wear my cute pink polka dot rain boots getting to wear my matching pink coat using cute umbrellas wearing warm sweaters I really love the rain! What are your favorite things about rainy days? xx Heidi

However, it's hard to keep up that attitude after our beach vacation is over. This book is all about how to keep up that beach mentality every day for your own health and positivity. I did enjoy this book. It's a short, quick read, filled with very small bits of text, Bible verses, quotes, and lots and lots of lovely beach photos. I would picture this book on a coffee table in a house on the beach. It would make a great gift, something for you to flip through when you feel a little down, or un-beachy. I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars. I recommend it, I thought it was so cute! I read this as an ebook but I'll bet the physical copy is really beau...
