Wow. So we made it to 2017! Yay. I’m excited about sharing so many great books this year. You can see some of them already posted on my 2017 Reading List. You may also notice that I have a new feature in my sidebar. You’ll find buttons that take you to a list of my past reviews based on the book’s target age or genre of the books. I’m also working on creating a master list of reviews so you can skim the whole list pretty easily. I hope to have that posted by the end of February.

Furiously Happy: A Funny Book about Horrible ThingsIt doesn’t seem possible to write a hilarious book about depression and anxiety, but that’s exactly what author Jenny Lawson has done in Furiously Happy.

She takes readers through the highs and lows of book tours, a trip to Australia, and the challenges of depression and anxiety in daily life.
I think I read this book at exactly the right time. … Continue reading
