I admit that it’s a bit unfair. You have got to write quite a book to keep me engaged and reading these days. If I find my mind wandering to the news or to worries about my kids, our country, our soldiers then I’m out. Book put aside. I finished a book today that just… Read More 6 Great Reads
I love the visual road map that Goodreads provides. These last few months have not been an easy time for me as a reader (or as a human) and I’ve had to apologize to many books. I tell them that it’s not them, it’s me, as we part ways and I abandon them in pursuit… Read More Romi’s Reading Roundup for 2023
I’ve read a few absolutely stunning books recently and it inspired me to blog about them. I love to share my book recommendations, particularly when I find stories that I love (and that often bring me to tears). I’ve also thrown a lot of books aside unfinished so far in 2023…showing that I’m either getting… Read More Ten Terrific Titles
True Biz by Sara Nović is a novel like none I’ve ever read before. It’s the story of a group of students and their principal at a school for the deaf. While the book deals with many pressing and important issues about lip-reading, cochlear implants and isolation, it also deals with themes of civil rights,… Read More True Insights with True Biz
While it’s been a difficult year for so many, one saving grace has definitely been our ability to read and to let our minds wander and explore. We may not have been able to travel to far flung places (or even to nearby ones) but books have taken us away to those unreachable locations. I’ve… Read More My 5 Favorite Books of 2021
I can’t believe how long it’s been since I last wrote a book review. I write a review on Goodreads for every book I read, and I’d love to have you join me there. I occasionally post a book recommendation on Facebook, as well. But it’s time for a roundup! For now, I’m featuring 8… Read More Reading Roundup: 8 Great Finds
After sharing my ‘Middle of the Road‘ and least favorite reads last time, I’m now ready to dig into the great finds. It’s so much fun to find books that you love and want others to enjoy as well. So here is my top 10 list for the last few months. Drum roll please… Romi’s… Read More Top 10 Recent Reads: Romi’s Reading Round Up Part 2
Has it really been three months since I last wrote a book review? I’m not sure where the time has gone, but it certainly hasn’t been spent traveling, shopping or getting out the house. I’ve been flying through books – some of which I definitely put down. Perhaps it’s harder to concentrate during COVID-19, or… Read More August – November Reading Round Up Part I
I just finished a book called In Five Years by Rebecca Serle. At the virtual library where I belong, they have a tab for books that are currently available to check out. I’d never heard of this book, but it was available and sounded interesting. I love when I strike gold. The book was well-written… Read More Looking Back & Looking Forward
In this episode of What Are You Reading? I will cover fluffy books for those (like me) who have had trouble concentrating during these crazy times. And I’ll throw in a few heavy reads for those who are still able to concentrate. I’ve decided to only cover books that I’ve really enjoyed in the last… Read More June & July Reading Round-Up
