How to Read More Books

Have you ever wanted to be one of those people that puts their phone down and picks up a book? I’ll be honest, I’m still guilty of this, and I actually really like reading. I came up with a few things that have helped me increase my book count over the years. I posted earlier this year that I read 59 books in 2021, and you don’t get to that number without picking up a few tips and tricks along the way. That’s what I’m sharing with you today.

What I Read in February

So far this year I’ve read ten books. This time last year I had only read six. My reading goal this year was to read at least one more book than I did last year. I read 39 books in 2020, so I’d say I’m off to a good start. You can see what I read in January 2021 here and here. Let’s dive into the ones I’ve just wrapped up.

5 Good Things | No. 15

Though this blog post is all about the good things of the week, we Normans had quite the sad one with the loss of Paul’s grandmother, Mrs. Dot. She was a classy, beautiful woman who loved to golf and amazed me at her ability to get up and move with ease well into her 80s. I want to say thank you to everyone who reached out to express their sympathy, love, and prayers. Knowing she is whole in Heaven gives us peace, but she will, of course, be missed here.

I never got a blog post of good things up last week, so I’ve got two weeks worth of good things for you today. Today we’ve got recipes, a book, and even some beauty products to talk about. Let’s get started.

Currently Loving- June 2019

Hi, friends! Can you believe June is over? I’m not ready for July. I think I say that every year. I have so much fun in the summer and never want it to end. Thinking about going back to work after summer break makes me a little sad. I love this free schedule. I’ll have to make the most of July, but let’s recap June. It was a busy one!

Currently Loving- April 2019

Hi friends! April is a month that I have a love/hate relationship with. It’s my birthday month, so there’s a feeling of excitement and fun. But then April is also filled with all the pollen. I hate that part of it. But this post is not about current hates. Here’s what I have been loving this month. Get ready for a very photo-heavy post.

2018 Favorites

Every month I write out a list of my favorite things in a series here on the blog called Currently Loving.
