August TBR and a VERY small July wrap up

MsReads A lot 2024-08-06 | #readingplans #readingslump

Hi Everyone!

I am combining a July wrap up with my August TBR. This is pretty easy to do given the VERY small number of books I read in the month of July.

I am starting to pick up books a little more in August but it is still much lighter than a typical month for me! My TBR in August is very small with a focus of trying to finish some of the books that I started in July.

A very late July TBR - Reading Agatha Christie in honor of @AliceandtheGiantBookshelf

MsReads A lot 2024-07-09 | #TBR

Hi Everyone,
My schedule has still been pretty chaotic. Filming has been one of the items that has taken a back seat. I hope to get back onto a normal filming and reading schedule very soon.

Thank you for sticking with my channel as I work out the details!!

The Lightest Reading Month TO DATE - May 2024 Reading Wrap Up

MsReads A lot 2024-06-16 | #readingwrapup
This was a pretty light reading month for me! I only read a couple of books from the 1001 book countdown. I just struggled to pick up many books! Not having a set TBR didn't help me.

There were some great reads in the month though!!

Back to a normal TBR for my June Reading Plans 📚📚📚📚📚

MsReads A lot 2024-05-25 | #tbr, #readingplans, #1001bookcountdown

May didn't quite go according to plan. I didn't select a set of books and that meant I didn't read much from my projects.
I decided to go back to a more "Sandy" style TBR and load up on the reads for the month of June!

A big thank you to St. Martin's Press for the Advance Reader Copy of Mind Games by Nora Roberts. This book has so much of what I love about Nora Roberts books, a strong family, a romantic interest, a villain and a lot of suspense!

Riverman - An American Odyssey by Ben McGrath - My INSPIRATIONAL Book for April 🛶

MsReads A lot 2024-05-07 | #riverman #inspirationalreads

Hi Everyone!

My inspirational book for the month of April was Riverman by Ben McGrath. This book was well written but I had trouble connecting with the person that was the focus of the book.

Living outside for months at a time sounds incredibly difficult. McGrath does an excellent job of bringing the difficulties to life in this very sad story.
My inspirational books are to support a personal walking challenge that I have for 2024. All of the books selected come from top books for outdoor adventures which is a passion of mine.

Stay tuned to the end of the video if you would like to see an update on my step challenge!

An Unusual TBR for May - Planning by not planning? 🤷‍♀️ Plus a Book Haul!

MsReads A lot 2024-04-30 | #readingplans #tbr #1001bookstoreadbeforeyoudie

Hi everyone!

This is a very different TBR for me. I typically will have a large number of books and decided this month to go in a different direction. I don't want to end up in any kind of a reading slump, so I only have a few books on my official TBR which are either book club, buddy reads or planned group reads!

I am really looking forward to reading based on my mood.

Little Free Library Tour - Exploring Mercer Island WA for the BEST #lfl

MsReads A lot 2024-04-23 | #littlefreelibrary #lfl

What an amazing day in the Pacific Northwest. I took advantage of the beautiful sunshine and went searching for Little Free Libraries! This is one of my favorite things to do, especially when I have a big stack of books to unhaul.

I ended up going all over Mercer Island, WA. My route originally had 9 #lfl BUT I couldn't find several of them. The ones it did fine were all very appropriate for the Pacific Northwest.

I hope you enjoy the tour. I ended up not picking up any books though I always seem some when I put the video together 🤷‍♀️

1001 Book Countdown - A REALLY BAD BOOK! - Why didnt I DNF? 🤷‍♀️

MsReads A lot 2024-04-13 | #1001bookcountdown #1001bookstoreadbeforeyoudie #dnf

Hi everyone!
The two books in this video are at opposite ends of the spectrum for me. One I loved and one I hated and should have DNF'd! I knew after the first chapter that it wasn't for me but continued on. The pieces that I really didn't like reduced down significantly after the first chapter but I never really got to the point where it was an enjoyable read.

It has been 5 MONTHS! Finally a BOOK HAUL! 🥳

MsReads A lot 2024-03-26 | #bookhaul
Hi Everyone!

I finally broke down and bought some books! I joined the read what you own challenge on November 5th (I think) and haven't bought a book since that date! I ended up reading over 50 books from my shelves but didn't quite get to my goal of having my TBR under 200 books. I still think I will make it to that milestone this year! We shall see!

Hope everyone is well and that you enjoy this book haul!

LIFE UPDATE, THE TRAIL OF THE LOST & A 3 MILLION STEP UPDATE! 🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♀️

MsReads A lot 2024-03-09 | #3MILLIONSTEPS, #trailofthelost

Hi Everyone!

Wow, February has been just an absolutely hectic month. So much has been happening.
I am so sorry that I haven't been around much and wanted to give everyone a glimpse of what has been happening!

I ended up switching out my inspirational book for the 3 million step challenge. The Trail of the Lost by Andrea Lankford became available at my library and I couldn't help immediately picking it up! It was a great read with a lot of information about how searches are conducted when hikers go missing. I can't say that I will be doing a thru hike any time soon! It is a great read though and I would definitely recommend picking it up!

3 Million Step update!
February steps - 227,184
February goal - 230,160
-2,976 off from the goal

2024 totals as of 2/29/2024
steps - 465,286
Goal - 484,980
-19,694 off from the goal

I anticipate catching up on the goal with the nicer weather in the summer!

January Reading Wrap Up 😊 Not a bad book in the bunch!

MsReads A lot 2024-02-07 | #readingwrapup #1001bookcountdown #readwhatyouownchallenge

Hi Everyone!

January was FULL of amazing books, including my first five star read of the year! I am trying something new with ranking the 1001 books that I read during the month. Please let me know if you like it! I would love to show all of them in order at the end of the year and hope that this will help me keep track of them.

3 Million Step Check-in, Ranger Confidential and my Feb inspirational pick!

MsReads A lot 2024-02-01 | #3millionsteps #inspiration

Hi Everyone!

January didn't quite go as planned for my movement/step challenge. I unfortunately got pretty sick during the 3rd week and it set me back a bit. Prior to that, I was right on track. I had even built up a little cushion. That cushion is now gone!

Thankfully, I am feeling better and am able to get back out moving again!
