I read: Becoming

Becoming by Michelle Obama

I don't have a lot of say about this book, except that I continue to be impressed by how transparent Michelle Obama continues to be.  She shares, seemingly sincerely, from portions of her entire life and candidly writes about how she wasn't initially in favour of her husband's political career.  She shares struggles and dreams, fears and hopes and everything in between.

I read: Freedom

Freedom: The Ultimate Tribute 1963-2016

Mostly a coffee table book, with some great concert photos, this book gives a glimpse into the life of George Michael, starting from the beginning and going right to the final days.

George Michael was one of my first celebrity crushes.  Honestly, I don't even think I knew that's what it was at the time - but I knew that I loved Wham!  And the music wasn't the only thing.

I read: Signs Point to Yes

Signs Point to Yes by Sandy Hall

I picked up this one because I had so enjoyed A Little Something Different by the same author.  This one didn't disappoint.

It's a super quick but satisfying read, with an adorable love story and some personal dram in the midst. 

I read: Playing to the Gods

Playing to the Gods  by Melanie Rawn
(book five in the Glass Thorns series)


I've been a fan of Melanie Rawn since I first read the Dragon Prince series.  I had never in my life read an entire series of books straight through without breaking it up with other side things to keep from getting bored.  But I devoured those books, breathing them in like they were air.

The Glass Thorns series has been a very different experience because I was picking them up as they were released, and having to hunt for them because they didn't seem to be on any regular schedule.  But I still enjoyed every minute spent reading them.
