In all fairness, I started The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory before Christmas. It was one of the longer books I’ve read as of late, so it took me a bit to read! Tudor England and the Renaissance and all of that time are so intriguing to me. The Storyh The Other Boleyn Girl is historical fiction surrounding King Henry […]
Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes
Is it getting old when I say that I’ve had a book for months but haven’t read it? My parents got me Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes for Christmas 2017. It felt odd not starting 2018 reading it, so I had to postpone until 2019. That’s logic, right? I didn’t read much about the book before […]
Hi! I’m Caroline, And This Is Adventures In Nonsense.
Tomorrow is Adventure In Nonsense’s 2nd birthday! Last year, I reflected on all that I learned from my first year of blogging. As I sit and write this now, I can’t possibly fathom how fast the year went by. I’ve realized that, in two years, I haven’t introduced myself or really shared the why of […]
2019: Flourishing Into A New Year
Here’s to a new year! 2019 has to be better than 2018. I have high hopes for this year for a few different reasons. Last year, my word of the year was “intention”. I failed pretty miserably at living with intention. In 2019, my word is flourish: grow or develop in a healthy or vigorous […]
2018 Resolutions & Goals Retrospective
Oh, if only I could go back and prepare 2017 Caroline for the horror that was 2018. Y’all, my favorite number failed me. I had both resolutions and goals for 2018. I did pretty well on the 2018 resolutions…not so well on my goals. I have plans to change that in 2019. 2018 Resolutions Read […]
Friday Five: December 2018
This was a tough month for very different reasons than why October was a tough month. However, you should always work to find something to be grateful for. Friday Five is one of my favorite stories that helps me circle back at the end of the month for all of my blessings. 1. #PowerSheets I’m […]
2018 Book Roundup
I’ve read 45 books in 2018. That seems like so many! The first half of the year was full of a few more books than the second half, but that’s okay. I hit a bit of a reading slump this fall. I’ve got the book roundup of all that I completed this year. Before we […]
Into The Water by Paula Hawkins
Woohoo! Book number 45 of 2018! Into The Water by Paula Hawkins was another library book sale purchase. I read The Girl On The Train a year or so ago. I didn’t love it, and I definitely didn’t understand why they made a movie out of it. However, I won’t give up on an author just based on one book. The […]
The Shoemaker’s Wife by Adriana Trigiani
I cannot get over how beautiful The Shoemaker’s Wife by Adriana Trigiani was. This may be the worst book hangover ever. Amidst tears, I had to go find my Post-It Flags so that I could remember the passages I wanted to share with you. The Story The Shoemaker’s Wife follows Enza Ravanelli and Ciro Lazzari through their lives […]
The Woman In Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware
The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware has been on my list to read for so long. I always managed to talk myself out of buying it because I had other books to read. Thanks to a book sale for my library, I snagged it for just $2.00! Gotta love a good book bargain! […]
