Spring Fiction

May 16, 2020October 4, 2020 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

I read three books featuring strong women. Each book is utterly unique from the other two, with interesting stories and characters, but each one memorable in its own right. All of these will stick with you in different ways and for different reasons.  Valentine by Elizabeth Wetmore Set in a small West Texas town in … Continue reading Spring Fiction

Quarantine Reads

Quarantine Reading Suggestions
March 23, 2020 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

I had a recent realization that most that I read a lot of serious books, and mostly on history. Now doesn't feel like the time for such books though. I pulled together some feel-good reads and books that are sure to make you laugh. Memoirs Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me and Why Not Me … Continue reading Quarantine Reads

Over hyped books worth the hype

Books Little Fires Everywhere Where the Crawdads Sing
March 13, 2020March 18, 2020 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

I don't usually run out to grab a copy of the latest book a celebrity is talking about. Especially if that celebrity likes to buy the rights to turn them into movies in the next year. But these books, it turned out were worth the hype! Little Fires Everywhere I kept seeing a wait for … Continue reading Over hyped books worth the hype

Audiobooks Worth Turning Up

Turn up these audiobooks
September 7, 2019September 1, 2019 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

I tried to fill my commute with podcasts. I really tried. I found a couple I like. Literally, a couple: West Wing Weekly and The British History Podcast. Don’t worry! I can, in fact, hear you groaning about what I nerd am! I’ve tried audiobooks off and on. Usually, it’s been a result of being … Continue reading Audiobooks Worth Turning Up

Books to fill your binge-watching needs

August 22, 2019August 20, 2019 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

I have trouble watching some TV shows without binge-watching. It’s become common for shows to end every episode on what used to be a season-ending cliffhanger. Here are a few options to get you through withdrawal or the waiting game until the show returns. Still missing/traumatized by the Game of Thrones finale? Check out the … Continue reading Books to fill your binge-watching needs

8 Books Set During World War II

Eight Books Set in World War II
June 7, 2019June 5, 2019 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

If you're not into history, these books may change your mind. While this may sound odd, this probably my favorite, or at least most frequently read time period. I'd blame it on my history degree, but this started well before college. This is a mix of fiction and non-fiction, with something for everyone. 1. Life … Continue reading 8 Books Set During World War II

Unfinished Books

April 13, 2019June 2, 2019 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

Over the last few years, there have been several books I've started and not finished. Or kept coming back to, but would read in other books in between. One of my reading resolutions this year was to actually finish those books. So far...I am not doing well. Here's a rundown of what I have bookmarks … Continue reading Unfinished Books

5 books about the Great American Road Trip

March 30, 2019June 2, 2019 ~ So Maggie Says ~ 1 Comment

I recently had to put together some ideas for a Midwest road trip for work. It doesn't happen often that I do anything travel related. But it got me thinking about a road trip, around the Midwest or out West. These books will either inspire you or satisfy your need to hit the road. 1. … Continue reading 5 books about the Great American Road Trip

What I read in 2018

December 28, 2018January 13, 2019 ~ So Maggie Says ~ 1 Comment

I did a little reflecting on my reading goals for 2018. About all I accomplished was to read a book a month. Okay, I beat that, but I think I did pretty a pretty good job. This is only an account of what I finished. I have a problem with starting and then never finishing … Continue reading What I read in 2018

What Maggie’s Reading: Handmaid’s Tale Edition

June 1, 2017October 22, 2017 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

I've been reading everything I've run across on The Handmaid's Tale. Everything. If you haven't read The Handmaid's Tale, now is the time to read it. It's hard to get through, and hard to reread. This dystopian future isn't too far off from where we are now and isn't actually out of the realm of … Continue reading What Maggie’s Reading: Handmaid’s Tale Edition
