Rebecca Reads

I feel I’m finally getting a balance back between reading and blogging. It felt very good to be unplugged for nearly five days, and I think I may have to do that more often. I’m also trying to shy away from challenges in the coming year. There are so many that have tempted me, but [...]

I didn’t even respond to comments over my short vacation weekend. It was so refreshing, and yet for some reason, I feel like I was being neglectful. That suggests to me that I’ve been tied to the blog a bit too much, and I think I may make it a habit to not check the [...]

I have been out of town for the past five days, and it’s been nice to have an essentially blog-free weekend! I did get my book club book read this week, but other than that, it’s even been a light reading week.

I admit that I’m not interested in vampire books, but if you are, go check it out! The other carnival was all about local authors, hosted by Ali at Worducopia. This was lots of fun because [...]

The 30th Edition of the Bookworms Carnival, hosted by Michelle at Biblio.me, is up! It’s theme was “Books about Books” and features both fiction and nonfiction. I love books that talk about books, and it was so much fun to visit posts about so many books that I haven’t yet read.
Go check out the carnival [...]

Here are some miscellaneous things going on around the blogosphere. Also, remember to come back on Monday because I’m having a little giveaway/contest in honor of my one-year anniversary of when I began Rebecca Reads.
