Recommended Books for Pregnant Mamas

May 18, 2018May 18, 2018 molliemcnLeave a comment

In true Mollie fashion, I had every intention of writing up separate posts about each of these reads. It now seems like I have finished 3 books in the past 5 months without sharing even one of them on the blog. #momlife Alas, here there are.

Book Review: Present Over Perfect

January 26, 2018January 9, 2018 molliemcnLeave a comment

  I have seen this book EVERYWHERE on social media the past 6 months. I really wanted to read it, so I think I was wait-listed on my local library’s list for at least 4 of those months. When they told me it had arrived, I can sort of forgotten I reserved it…..Ha! Still, I… Continue reading Book Review: Present Over Perfect

Me Before You

August 19, 2016 molliemcnLeave a comment

OMG. This book. I’m not usually one for romantic, girly novels. I usually prefer something more non-fiction, a murder mystery or something post-apocalyptic. However, my sister-in-law basically put this one in my bag about a month ago and told me I had to read it. So, sure enough, after last month’s book I finally got started.… Continue reading Me Before You

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers

March 24, 2016 molliemcnLeave a comment

  By: Mary Roach I love science. I love medicine. I love non-fiction reads. This book is a perfect combination of these criteria and as a bonus, Mary Roach describes the situations she presents with a sort-of morbid humor that isn’t at all disrespectful. Somehow. Stiff is my first read by this author and I think… Continue reading Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers

One of my goals this year is to read more. So I am challenging myself to read 1 book each month this year, which will be far more reading than I have done since high school. I even made a whole plan for reading every night before bed to try and accomplish this. Even if… Continue reading Challenge: 12 Books in 12 Months

Audiobooks!

September 3, 2014 molliemcnLeave a comment

  This summer has been FULL of travel. Driving, riding, flying, etc. I have spent many hours in one of those small, controlled environments where standing up/moving around is not really an option. It is in these instances that I am reading, or more often, listening. I never thought I was one of those people… Continue reading Audiobooks!

The Great Vaccine Dilemma

March 19, 2014March 19, 2014 molliemcnLeave a comment

I remember growing up and always getting vaccines. It was what people did for their children. Many of us got vaccinated for diseases that could debilitate or even kill us if we contracted them. I was even given the Hepatitis B vaccination in school. I distinctly remember going to the gym 2 or 3 times… Continue reading The Great Vaccine Dilemma
