Q Mom Reads...
What does this Q mom read?
I am a lover of books and I like to think that I'm a "reader". I try to read a book a month but if I don't set the intention to actually sit down and open the book, days go by and I only get 1-2 pages read. At this rate, I never get through a book a month. So I read before bed every night and I have a few random things located where I'm often sitting to feed Connor.
Now, I never used to have several books on the go, but I dabble more now because my mood wavers and my time is precious so I indulge myself with whatever motivates me.
So here's what's by my bed side right now:
