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 written before about the accordion of my life. With six kids, two of whom are in the army and three of whom dorm during the week, there is always someone coming or going. The house tends to fill, fill, fill on Friday and then empty, empty, empty for a bit on Sunday. The steadies… Read More A Nurturing Night
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
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
I’ve become impatient as I’ve aged. Or maybe more discerning. Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish between the two. Ironically, as the kids have grown and I’ve found myself with more time for reading, I’ve become less patient with the books I read and less willing to just stick it out. Because really, if I can’t… Read More The Power in Putting Down Books
People like to use the end of the year to reflect on all sorts of things. They reflect about their weight loss (or gain); they reflect about the fun they had during the year or the money they made (or lost), etc. I like to reflect on….books! Of course! And Goodreads makes it really easy… Read More 18 Of My Favorites Books From 2018
As many of you know, I love to read. I’m always interested in book suggestions and love hearing what everyone is reading. A number of years ago, I discovered Cathy Lamb’s quirky and playful writing style and found her to be very accessible on Facebook. I felt like I’d made it the first time that… Read More Was the Marriage Really a Lie?
