I love this, and boy, can I relate! Grad school started this week, which makes matters worse! I am currently reading The Shining (a bucket list read), and I am so struck by the way it is written. His very well-planned use of foreshadowing is incredible! This has certainly made me appreciate his creativity as a writer!

Best of luck with your memoir goal! Just make sure not to be hard on yourself if you don’t complete all of them in the set time! Being a new mom is no joke! Instead, try focusing on the fact that you read ANY books in completion - this is no small feat with a little one!

Jacque! I hope your first week of grad school is great! I want to hear all about it! The Shining has been on my reading list for a very long time. I've been getting so many good fiction recommendations lately that it's making me antsy! Thank you so much for the loving reminder and for being one of my mama guides :)

Thank you, Brittany! Love Viola! A friend of mine recommended Finding Me and it is on my long list of memoirs to read now. Do you follow her on IG? She's one of my favorites on there. I also will read about The Choice too, thank you!
